QUOTE (cheela @ Apr 5, 2018 - 10:55 PM)  I got this for cheaper. The rest of the parts will be got from Richee. and its what I'm after for right now. Still got the freelica to do a v6 or 3sgte swap later if needed.  What's cheaper than free? You must be one damn good asian.... -------------------- ~bloodMoney

I AM a pretty damn good asian.but Daniel is gonna give me his old beams to transform this one into a redtop, along with a manual swap so that's why. He's sourced out quite a bit of the parts for me already too. like I said, still got the freelica. --------------------  *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

so I just finished the swap. It wasn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be.
Took it for a spin and honestly it feels just as slow as my 7a.... not impressed.

It feels slow because you forgot to put the oil fill cap back on. IF IT CAN’T BUILD CRANKCASE PRESSURE, IT CAN’T BUILD BOOST TO ACTIVATE VTEC! Everybody knows that.

photodump just for the sake of reference photos and keeping track of things I mess up.
they were nice enough to break the timing cover for me so checking the timing belt was a breeze.     20180406_183421 by C Lor, on Flickr 20180406_183426 by C Lor, on Flickr 20180406_183656 by C Lor, on Flickr 20180406_183706 by C Lor, on Flickr 20180406_183732 by C Lor, on Flickr 20180406_184418 by C Lor, on Flickr 20180406_184631 by C Lor, on Flickr 20180406_184637 by C Lor, on Flickr 20180406_184647 by C Lor, on Flickr 20180406_184817 by C Lor, on FlickrSuch an ugly header.

Since they broke they timing cover perfect excuse to put on a clear one with LEDs in it.

Yep that storm hit my side of town HARD... Didn't go anywhere over the weekend.
The LED cover would actually be pretty interesting. I just wonder what happens if you got a LED strip and it became loose... |

Just use stupid powerful LEDs on the bottom of the cover, that or if you wanted strips on the sides do them where the wiring is on top so that if the adhesive does come undone it just sits there dangling instead of falling down.
