It smelled like burnt paint chips that had fallen on the motor and were under the heat shield lol.
The tone of this motor is just so...... unique?!

RHD BEAMS Progression/Build Thread - 6G Celicas Forums
Interior getting reassembled enough to drive it to get it licensed. Leaving rear speakers exposed so that they can be upgraded. Don't have RHD audio amplifier aparently... wasn't in the clip, so I need that if anyone has one.... LOL
Gonna put the trunk back together, lay the carpet in, put in the front seats only at this time.
also just using the LHD ebrake at the moment with the LHD center console until I can source a RHD ebrake. I'll change it over then to RHD center console.
Finish the center console with respect to the hvac stuff and I'll bleed the clutch, finalize my brakes and bleed those, put on some fenders and the headlights and bumpers/hood and It'll at least drive at that point.
Once it drives, 2.5 exhaust all the way back, leaving stock cat. - unsure how I want to finish it... twin tip, angled, center, LFA style, up for suggestions here
Licensing.
Body work and paint.
Keeping awesome color,
Adding oem skirts, toms lip, maybe something on the rear so it helps tie in the exhaust better.
Wheels. Chrome maybe - 5 spoke OR an MSR wheel .
Haven't decided on 17" or 18" yet. 18's would be DIRTY but would have to run a 35 series tire to keep the speedo close.
pretty sure 235/35-R18 fit perfect with the right offset. Don't want them too big though and hurt performance.
Also might have some SUPER RARE (lol) parts going into and on the car. Just have to figure it out.
Think I might go spoilerless for a while too, try it out. Get a window visor in place of it. Then I'll finish off the ss3 spec stuff to make it legit

HAHAHA! definitely a radiator. Very fat. As wide as my hand.
get 17's bro with 215/45R17. getting 225/45 will be to large and gears will be to long. 18 not even. thin sidewall equals harsh ride and you'll lose power to the wheels with heavy rims
any updates??

Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
Got em off FORGMANN. but I should probably illustrate the extent of the purchases made....
.
nice stuff! looks like you scored a few rare ones, can't wait to see them on the car!
I think at this point it's easier to list the rare parts you don't have than the ones that you do.

Finally tackling the windshield wiper motor? After that, it's a matter of nuts and bolts then this car is reassembled.

Yeah. That plate I welded in is an effort to cover the hole that goes through the bulk head. The "old" passenger side bulkhead covers the hole and this side would have been almost a straight shot into the blower motor. So I'm putting that plate in, bondo over it to seal it. Paint it and boom, it'll work like I need it to. Of course because it's hidden under the plastic cowel fascia, I'm not really worried about "finish" ya know?
Also put in the RHD ebrake. That was a challenge to say the very least. finally got the old one unhooked. put in the RHD handle and found I no holes. I didn't realize that the threads also flipped even on something as mundane as the brake handle. Bastards. Holes were drilled through and it was nutted and bolted on for now. I'll eventually weld the nuts to the bottom but it'll suffice for the time being.
Had to pull the steering column back off as I forgot to put it on the shaft. Found the rubber boot in disrepair, so I had to fix that. Put the red stitch 202 steering wheel on part of the way so I could steer it around the shop. After work this week I hope to get my hole saw figured out and get the wiper motor hole drilled so I can then drill the nut holes and tack weld the nuts to the bulkhead and get the wipers finally finished.
It sounds soooo good coming right off the cat header. maybe I'll just run one resonator and split the pipes at the rear subframe and have twin 2.5" chrome tips just inside the ss3 rear splitters?
