Now you're just being far fetched.

I see what WE did there.

Indeed.

so new water pump and gaskets/o-rings installed no more leak. As I suspected the pump was bad. It was an new/old used one that I thought was fine but guess not. After that had fun with the timing belt and reinstalling it and getting it to line up correctly. Buttoned everything up and tried starting it but nothing. just lights and gauges etc. but no crank.xt Tried using both my MT and AT ECU and swapped out the COR with another one I had. Battery is charged and was on a tender. I'll need to check all my grounds as well as the starter and crank/cam position sensors and take another look at the clutch start wire maybe. I was hoping to at least hear it start up after all this.

throw the whole car away.

'bout to.

the race is still pretty close between us to finish our builds. lol

right? lol. I have a few more parts to order this week and that should hopefully be the last of it minus small things here and there.

WE CAN DO THIS! CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO OURSELVES!

BUMP!

Looking for confirmation on where the clutch start wire is for the 7A auto body harness. Trying to find wiring diagrams for the II1 II2 & IJ1 and see which one does what since my engine harness is for a manual GT -> BEAMS and the clutch start wire is supposedly different for the body harnesses. I have the clutch start wire at the pedal and it's plugged in but I don't know where it goes and where it ends up.

Sad, you no have wiring diagrams

Hmmm.. It's never too late to go 1MZ man, or 2GR.

Colors are B-Y and B, so Black/Yellow and Black maybe? Not sure where in the harness they are though, the old diagram isn't very helpful in that regard. Power comes from the 7.5 amp start fuse though, which gets it's power from the ignition switch when in start, which in turn gets power from AM2.

What diagram do you need? (A little more specific) maybe i can look up at work

In case any one still reads this.

swap has been put on hold on account of imminent threat of death and/or frozen balls.
Although I could technically work in 3 minute 59 seconds increments...

You need to get yourself one of them winter coveralls that have insulation

Yea... Wait until this weekend.

It's looking like its going to be a nice, balmy 32* on Saturday.

You crazy Midwesterners and your cold weather and blizzards.

I could not believe that when I saw it on the news. I know it gets frigid, but colder than parts of the Arctic?

Meh. Excuses....

Yeah, I know, right? Weirdos....

I have one but it's just for snow blowing, I don't think it would be good to work on cars with.

ahhh.... the positive temps. what does that feel like again??

yeah I know! can't believe it either.

only the BEST excuse though.

you both know that midwest is the best.

I know I can drive my car year round where i'm at....unless we end up under water for a couple of days.....

point proven.

Chee La! Are you dooooooone yet?

I want to drivvvvve it!

It's still way too cold to be doing anything in the northern states. Winter is finally here.

hahaha yeah. I haven't stepped foot in the garage for a month now I think... yeah wayyyyyyyyyy too cold to do anything outside. This winter came late and it was harsh. Deep freeze of -55 followed by a short thaw to melt all the snow JUST so the temps could drop again and freeze all that water and then mother nature said that wasn't enough yet, so rain, wind, sleet and more ice were added. Even with my heater on it's still freaking cold because the barn is so airy.

I'mma just sit here and sip on my whiskey until it's warmer. lol

Finally got out to the garage yesterday. It was a whopping 32 degrees so that's Wisconsin warm I guess. Spent the day putting my celi back together. Before my long winter break, I left the car up on jacks with the axle out as I needed to change out the ripped seal so that mean also draining the transmission fluid as well.

Got in the garage, and cleaned up the mess that was left over winter as well as putting some things away just to make more room. changed out the axle seal, put the axles back on, bolted it in, attached the brakes and spindles to the strut etc., pumped fluid back into trans, bled the clutch, put my spacers back on, wheels, and hood as well. Finally got it off the jack stands and back on all 4 wheels and aired them up. Feels good.

what's left to do?
- I still have to drill the holes for the side mount. Need a better drill/drill bit but it shouldn't be too hard.
- wiring: I believe I have to wire this missing wire for the manual start from the starter fuse to ID1 so I need to dig under the dash and find out where that is exactly. hopefully that will solve my no start issue as my harness is completely converted to manual and the AT path basically goes nowhere. (correct me if I'm wrong)
per this thread: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=92362
- check over/add/make new grounds and battery terminals.
- get the 2 exhaust gaskets for the header to b-pipe and an extra nut.
- fab a new exhaust from b-pipe back.
- fix the AC line bolt that I snapped but that's minor and I can do without A/C for now.

really hope that's all I need to do.

here's a pic because we all love pics

Meh.

Man you gotta hurry up man. It's averaging 40's now, that's grilling weather. Fishing season is near, meets are coming up fast.
(We still gotta do a Midwest or at least MN/WI Celica meet sometime.)
