I really like them. They're pretty sticky and have a real aggressive tread pattern.



Doug - I see you looking in on this thread. I got your package the other day and have a couple questions for you. I'll take pictures and post back here tomorrow.

So I was contacted by the guy on MR2OC who makes the V6 mount, as it appears that is the reason for this:


He offered to send me an unwelded mount, so I can get the measurements correct and have it welded, but I told him that would not be necessary.

It looks like I'll be taking it to my shop next Monday-ish to have the exhaust fabricated, brakes and clutch bled, fuel line extended, and the front mount plate replaced to bolt up. I'm not sure I want to twist the motor around to get that front mount to line up, but bring the side mounts to their flex limit in the process.

I'm wrapping up my portion of the swap on Friday when I put fluids in it and with any luck, fire it up. A video will be posted of that, and another when it returns from the shop with a functional exhaust system.

I also got a supplemental harness from MR220V the other day with resistors to clear the automatic transmission codes, as well as some other CEL junk. I still need to find a way to mount the V6 ECU in the trunk, as it is substantially larger than the 5S ECU, and the OEM brackets do not work. Minor details.

So the mount was made wrong?

Apparently the e153 trans sits over a little farther than the S54, and as I understand it the jig was made from the e153.

>PLEASE get some safer jack stands!! The ratchet lock style are VERY unsafe, get the kind that you insert a pin through please or at the very least modify yours so you can place a bolt through them to ensure they do not accidentally unlock and drop down.

i would disagree.
provided they are good quality, and used correctly, they are quite safe.
once they are properly locked in place, and weight is on them, you cant really unlock them without shifting the weight off the stand. (at least thats how my sets work anyway)



I never use the pin, maybe thats bad ? Mines on 2 stand up front and im dropping my trans at 4am as im typing. Just taking a water break. I mean it seems pretty safe to me locked into place with no pins.

PS before anyone asks, yes 4am, I work grave shift and im off so im changing my clutch at yes 4am.

Celicas have the ecu under the dash. Mine is in the trunk. I'm going to get some stuff this weekend that'll work great.

Audio is teh suck, because it's off my nikon, but you get the idea for now. It was very loud... and as stated by my lovely girlfriend at the end - "That is an angry noise!"

Motor mount was not resolved. My shop will have to take care of it for me.

mwahahaha.

Put the cover on this morning.




I'm putting coolant in today and calling AAA to have them come tow it to my shop so they can:

Modify the motor mount
Fabricate B-pipe w/Cat + 3rd o2 sensor bung
Toss my 2-piece fuel line and make it one
Bleed the brakes
Bleed the clutch

Hope to get it back mid week.





Can't wait to go home, throw some coolant in it, and start it again!

Sitting in my driveway waiting for the tow truck to arrive.

I backed the car out and washed it, so it's pretty for it's trip to town. I'll get another video of it running from farther away to try and capture the sound.

bleeding the brakes is easy, even with one person.

Bleeding the clutch on those things...not so much fun.

Topped off the coolant, and rolled it out for a quick bath.



AAA came and took her away, and left her here at my shop.




And now we wait for the phone call tomorrow when the shop calls and says "uhhh... you want us to do what?"

Apparently the shop is one guy down this week, so they're not going to be able to get started on it until Thursday-Friday. Unamused.

Unamused indeed. Tell the shop your girlfriend is due any day and this is your only transportation.
