Thanks man, I appreciate it! In other news, finally got around to taking the valve cover off the 1mz. Doesn't look too bad for having 250,000 miles on it! You're doing a v6 swap too? Awesome. Lol. No, that's too much effort right now. I'll be saving that engine to be built at some point in the future. Have something else coming for right now. |

I see. So it's a possible future swap. I was looking into it and still is but can't do much with just one car that I need to drive everyday. Lol.

This is part of the reason I haven't and probably won't do a swap any time soon. That and I don't have a garage lol. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

I spy some awesome things in there... There's definitely some foreshadowing in this picture. Stay tuned cause there's more to come in about a month. Oh and I do have OEM rear splitters on the way. They're just somewhere in one of the oceans on a cargo ship from Japan right now. |

i see the rear susp bolts. lol, good luck. i put some antiseize on the new ones i placed.. yeeeupp, redoing all the suspension. My next purchase in this overhaul is going to get a little delayed cause I just purchased a new laptop. Mine is almost 5 years old now and can barely handle running Chrome and, say Photoshop, without almost maxing out the CPU. So I bought an Asus ROG Laptop from Best Buy. From what I've read, the specs of it out perform a base model Macbook Pro and it's the same price. Quite an investment, but definitely well worth it since I picked up a second job doing some editing for products and my current computer can't handle Lightroom without bogging... lol Stuff will be on hold, for now. Should have another update in June though. |

Cool. Front susp is easier than rear

Not the update I was talking about back in May cause it's for something completely different, but I did this:

I put it on the understeer one to see how still it would be and it feels like I could kick it if I took a sharp turn lol I cant wait to see what the over steer setting feels like.

Put aside all the bullsh!t and dreamlike state I was in for a while with that V6 AWD TT sh!t.
This is where things are going. Cam (ted95) now has the 1mz. He took it cause I needed room for this and the e154f that he traded me for the engine. This post has been edited by mkernz22: Jul 27, 2014 - 1:34 PM |
