Did you break something in the beauty supply store? I broke a nail. Ugh, I hate when that happens. Then you have to file the rest to try and even it out. Or you get it filled and call it a day. Wouldn't your cousin or someone you know own a nail shop anyways? they could just fill it for you. #NotRacistCuzImAsian Ironically enough, my dad's side of the family all own nail salons. -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}

Everyone loves privileges!
Anywho: Apparently I like to party. Distributor shaft is cracked. Explains some things... Then my mechanic was like, "Hey, you have a ****load of oil in your intercooler piping....Hold on....yeah.... your turbo's blown. A lot of shaft play and oil is leaking through the compressor housing. Get a new one or get it rebuilt." Explains some more things.... So um... yeah. that's about where we are right meow with the car. Just need to get him to read me the part number on the turbo so I can order the right rebuild kit and send it off for assembly and/or re-balance. Ordered poly shifter bushings from Lou at BRD from across the pond. Hopefully that helps with some of the "gumminess" of the shifter. If not, probably time for new shifter cables.

Well there's your problem. The fun part will be cleaning the piping and intercooler.

Brake cleaner and gasoline will be my best friends. lol lol you have too much shaft play..... ditch that engine and slap a 2gr... That's probably down the road when the Supra is "finished" and if I'm able to import in a LHD GT-4. -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}

TX2K has come and gone, so not much progress on the car. Talked it over with my friend and for the time being while the turbo is out and getting massaged, we're going to go ahead and redo all of the intercooler piping to clean it up and clock the turbo. Any loose wires will be tracked down, tucked, trimmed, and/or sleeved.
Turbo should be coming out of the car some time this week to be sent off. Poly shifter bushings came in from across the pond, I've ordered an O2 sensor block-off plate to get rid of the unused O2 sensor that's just chilling on the downpipe looking all ugly, and ordered a purple TiAL QR BOV to replace the outdated gen 1 HKS SSQV in the event I wanna get crazy with the car down the road. Das about it so far. Hopefully more news later this week. -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}

Yup. sure did. Gonna try to sort of mimic my friend's engine bay in his Supra and see how much of that I can utilize and transfer into the Celica's bay.
