blown inner cv joint and a disintegrated motor mount. Must have been a pretty sick launch

Sadly not...
We think the motor mount was compromised as part of taking the engine out last time. Coupled with being old and battered during racing... poof!
And the halfshaft seperated because the bolts we used for adjusting the camber loosened and allowed the knuckle to deflect enough to allow the joint to seperate.

I love what you have been doing and all, building engines for your Celicas, I wish I had the expenses to build an engine for mine.
Keep up to good work, I love all these photos.

Hah... we are in full prep mode, bitches!
Don't ask.... I think the damage is more from poorly removing the engine then racing...
Brand new oil pan... hopefully no more leaks...
See the orange?
cranks.... cranks everywhere....
Also... I bought all 3 of these on Amazon for $120... I have no idea how....
