The doors aren't a huge priority for me. If you want to bring them up, you can. If not, we can figure it out later.
Although, I am still interested in those seats if you're still willing to part with them.
~bloodMoney
I don't need them. I'll get full pictures of them when I get home. You want front and rear or just fronts?

Chris- you got it. The driver's seat has a couple of small tears in it and the rear seats are a little dry, but they're all yours.
Jordan- I have tried it. I just don't care for it. It feels so gutless until you get the lift going. I have to say, I haven't tried it with the 6 speed yet but the BEAMS pulls far harder than any of the 2ZZ's I've driven. The BEAMS produces 197 hp and 145 lb. ft. of torque. The 2ZZ is at 180 hp and 133 lb. ft. You can really feel the difference, despite the extra weight of the 6th gen and the cast iron block of the BEAMS vs. the aluminum block of the 2ZZ. The two motors are very closely related though. Several of the MR2 BEAMS guys are using a 2ZZ wiring harness and 2ZZ standalones.

try it with a 6spd, sadly I have auto
.
2ZZ takes to bolt ons and tuning pretty easy though, you going to get a cam-con for the beams?

I'm not putting the 2ZZ down by any means. Since you have an auto, you will probably agree with me when I say you just can't really keep it in lift. Yeah, you can shift on the steering wheel, but that beats the point of a good twisty road. You're still limited. So I cant say I've fully tested a 2ZZ, and definitely has pluses over the BEAMS. Like I said earlier, it has an aluminum block, not cast iron. It takes boost well. And there are actually bolt-ons available for it, unlike the BEAMS. I've read a little bit about camcons but it sounds way over my head. Those BEAMS guys speak a whole different language. They keep saying it's an easy way to get more power but after "easy" and "power," I don't understand a single thing they say. I think they're actually using a camcon for the 2ZZ though.

It's like a SAFC that can alter cam angle by intercepting the signal from the pcm and adding or subtracting from it. Actually, it's opposite a SAFC in that regard, well and the Cam-Con can also control AFR like a SAFC can. I'm thinking about getting one to play with at some point, but alter VVT too much and you'll throw a code for vvt malfunction.

I actually just read an interesting bit about a Camcon for a BEAMS.
http://www.mr2.com/forums/beams-owners-gro...ght-camcon.htmlOne of the first few posts there says that the BEAMS ECU, as well as the 2ZZ ECU, is smart enough to figure out what you've done after a little while and correct it. I know literally nothing about tuning to get more power and I know virtually nothing about SAFC's. It sounds to me like tuning VVT is a great way to make power though. That's one of the reasons I prefer Toyota's VVT-i to Honda's VTEC. VTEC uses a different set of lobes on the cam whereas VVT-i can actually control the timing of the cam, so you can tune it as opposed to just waiting for it to kick in. You should bring the Celica to the meet. Valve timing will have never changed so much at one single 6gc.net meet.

Yea, I was planning on it. Ass end is soo loose around 71 though, it really makes it not fun. bad rear struts+stiff sway bar=desire to pivot and snap over steer. I'm save for coil overs and I have a full bushing set, going to pick up a front sway and might change to hp plus front pads and hps rear. Since I don't daily drive it that much now some brake noise won't bother me...and I know how to silence it pretty well too. The wagner ceramic rear pads don't seem to keep the rotor faces clean at all, I have rust glaze on them. A few hard stops seems to clear it up but since the fronts are so much more aggressive a pad a stop hard enough to get the rears cleaned up is also a stop hard enough to just about pop my eyes out of my head. 7th gen stock brakes are pretty good....I can stop hard enough and fast enough to make myself a little dizzy from the negative G's.
One time I was doing just that and looked over to see a family of racoons looking at me. Was pretty funny, we just locked eyes as I passed by. I think I scared them a little.

The SpotSound good to everyone?
Let's get a list started.
1.) bloodMoney and GF
2.) Richee3 and GOVEG
3.) sixgentoyota and GF
I'm glad I'm going by GOVEG now... lol
So sue me, I was too lazy to look up your screen name...
I know that you couldn't fit Celisaurus on a plate so whatever
~bloodMoney
I still wish I had gotten RAWR16 as my licence plate instead lol I might change it in time.
^
and to fitting doors in a celica, you can only fit one. (atleast i could only fit one) if you show up with 2 in there, i will be VERY impressed.

I also have a sound system and a battery relocation in the trunk. I could make it work though. I think the seats will be harder than the doors. Fortunately, I have an extra Celi to practice with before the big day.

It'll be easy if I remove the backrests from the bottom part of the front seats. So what's the plan for the meet? Hiking somewhere new? Should I be prepared to provide more piggyback rides? I will bring a change pouch if so. And duct tape my sandals to my feet.

Jordan wants to try some trails that are closer to the shelter, so I'm leaving that one in his court.
But the short answer is yes.
~bloodMoney
the trails on the other side of the road is pretty cool, i walked them last spring. with those trails, its possible to not get your feet wet.
(some jumping may be required)

whatever you guys want to do is fine by me, just thought we've all pretty much done the river at mattheisein, so a change of pace.
2000 Celica GTS 'slowest gts evar'1998 Mazda 626 FS-DE/CD4-E
That works for us. Nothing wrong with a change of pace.

Posted the thread on new-celica....no interest yet.

Any interest yet, Jordan? I updated the first post to reflect the details of the meet- where, when, etc.

You may want to fix your google link, it's showing a country club in Kansas....

Wait, you mean the meet ISN'T in Kansas?!?? That explains a lot... I was wondering why I was the only one at the last meet. And why it was held in a cow pasture.
I just copy/pasted that link from the Facebook page. Link fixed.
