RHD conversion
rear discs
HID projectors
Enkei EVO-5 18s
rear duckbill spoiler
C20 turbo w/Synchronic BOV
replace headunit
2x1000W bridged mono block amps into 20" subs

OH, crap! That's the to-do list for my Celica...hahahahahahahahahaha

Seriously, very nice work. Looks like you are taking this project seriously and learning from it. Nothing like resurrecting a neglected piece of equipment.
had a setback, i forgot to take out the plastic bag from the intake and as i was torquing the torque converter, it got suctioned into the valve.... tongue.gif i had no compression at all, did not know until i popped the head appart.

now im lapping the valves and cleaning for Moar compression...

Learning experience from small engine to apply to bigger engines...

Victory. These little engines are not hard to work on. Yes i had a little trouble like a sheared key, intermittent spark, and plugged idle passages, low compression. But Here it is. A lot of cuzz words.

now the one im about to start working on again has a 21HP kawasaki 440cc engine (6speed) with independent suspension should be lots of fun biggrin.gif

It was actually 6 inches of pure southern mud.
