6G Celicas Forums

shix was there, actually bumped into him and his girl a few weeks ago at an orland ricer meetup.

I will totally have a Celica again in time for this meet... Anyone want to donate a 5S-FE so I can drive it to the meet?

I am feeling better as every week comes by, my swap is slowly coming along. It should be done in time for the meet

I have a spare Dan, but right now, its just an empty block..... I was going to save it to build a 5sgte for the 5gen.... lol

Less than 2 months! We're slowly getting there. I definitely won't have my Celica going in time for this meet, but hopefully Stambo can make it and I'll just show up in the IS.

I took the job offer I got in Gulf Shores Alabama so I wont be attending

i've got a clean car inside and out, a trd rear strut bar, new brakes all the way around, new tires to match, and a 22mm eibach rear sway bar coming in shortly. you all might beat me down the road but maybe i can catch up in a corner

well except for the ST's....but i do got love for the 7a!

i should be down for this still. should have the mr2 drivable sometime this week (damn alternator).

arnt the alternators on mr2s a pain?

yeah, it's too big to just pull from the top and it's too big to pull out the bottom. so i had to unbolt the bracket it's on and then as it was lose pull the alternator up through the top. so yes it's a pain. right now i'm waiting on the right alternator to fit the bracket.

Almost there...

Got my gt trans and stage 2 clutch ready for install tomorrow!, Hopefully i'll get the engine and trans all in, i'll post pictures.

i got the alternator in the mr2 in. now gotta figure out why it's running so warm which shouldnt be something major.

because you have 200 ****ing miles of coolant lines and air is trapped somewhere near Albuquerque.

yeah thats about right. hopefully have it worked out sunday.

you could build yourself an air bleed or two on the car though, find coolant tubes at the highest points and install a T fitting into it. use a vacuum pump to pull the air out and coolant into the system. thats how i fill chryslers and GM's at work that have air bleed nipples (like brake bleeders) and it works great!.

once you're sucking cooling out of the T fitting cap it with a rubber cap and a hose clamp and you should be all set or pretty close to it. of course circulate the system to be sure.

the fans and temp sensors are working correctly i assume?


also. **** yea! I'm probably more excited about this meet than i am about running tail of the dragon in late may.
