I'm borrowing my roommates soldering iron. All I'm gonna have to buy is solder!

Thanks! I was born in Texas, but I've been to Puerto Rico so frequently and for such long periods of time over the year, that's why I consider myself from Puerto Rico. I always go to Cataño.

Decided to stick to the Celica game because nothing really jumped out at me in my car search. If only I had more time to look...

I'm just getting giddy thinking about the beginning of August. Plans are, replacing inner tie rod on Sunday, new wheels & tires mid-week, pulling the motor on Thursday and rebuilding it, and in the meantime, I'm going to be cleaning the SH!T out of my engine bay and sanding/polishing my SP1's exhaust canister/tip (came with a strange matte spray on the canister). My car will be ready for action by August. Then I'll pay off the damage to my wallet this time around and start saving up for Megan coils, GT brakes, Euro side skirts, and TRD rear spats.

I'll be eating ramen for a long while, guys laugh.gif

^ It's actually true. I have the same basic want, but acknowledge that I'm entirely not wealthy enough to drop that much money on a singular part anytime soon.

Painting my valve cover, painting my header, re-painting my splitters, sanding/polishing the SP1 exhaust canister, fully rebuilt motor, new clutch kit and resurfaced flywheel, installing brass shift bushings, and an alignment all before this Saturday. And I finally get to flaunt my new wheels for more than a day.

She's going to be a different girl by the end of the week.

She's back and better than ever!

> Fully rebuilt motor
> New clutch kit
> Resurfaced flywheel
> Cleaned up engine bay
> Brass shift bushings installed (finally)
> Royal Purple full synthetic gear oil (smoothest shifting I've ever experienced in this car)

She drives better than ever and will hopefully give me plenty more years of gas-efficient fun!

Yep, they're Sokie Tech. Such a great mod.

Welp, in other news, looks like my starter felt left out of the part-replacing frenzy and went out today with no warning. Just fantastic...

Here's the pretty much finished product for now until I finishing paying off the bit that I owe for the rebuild. Then it's back to modding!
