Decided to start part 2. Part 1 got locked at my request, it was going no where. This time is final, and a tribute to my car...
This will mostly be a journal. Not a how to. No where else to keep records. You are welcome to ask questions. No 2gr info here, there is a separate thread... This car has not been driven in 8 months, it has been used as a parts car, for the mr2, and the previous celica sold. Unfortunately, because of this, its getting new parts, or parts are getting blasted and painted. The car currently is a sad vision, 7 years of use, last 3 of neglect... few pics of current condition... ( no wipers, no knuckles, no seats, no steering, etc, etc, etc...) DSCN1313  DSCN1308  DSCN1310  holes left from removing things.. DSCN1312  the knukcles ive got, are rusted.... DSCN1311  Most recently decided to pull all the wiring, for the cruise control. I will never use it so... E3C0FF98  it was sent away EED8DDA9  while i was there... 1FDA2065  then.. B483D95E  over the next few weeks will bring it back to life again.....

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

lol. i cant help it. Im working this week, but managed to put 2 hours in the car....
removed AC unit, and finished removing brown wire that feeds the cruise ecu at 16 pin. DSCN1355  while i was there cleaned the a/c evaporator, and sprayed lysol.... DSCN1354  whipped out some flex tubing in various sizing, what is that? it looks like this... DSCN1356  and then started to do the rewiring process, and halfway done there. I have to admit, its hard, but the results are great. DSCN1357  i have some wiring upgrades to make to the other side, since there is no cruise control, now i have a stalk, and 4 empty slots at the clock spring. So I may replicate Daniels, radio controls... This post has been edited by njccmd2002: Sep 24, 2017 - 12:52 AM -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

wiring is a tedious process.
created a small harness of 5 wires... DSCN1358  to use in the cruise control plug, to take advantage of the clockspring.. DSCN1359  looks now like this... DSCN1360  then proceeded to rewire the harness again... DSCN1363  and almost done for exception of the steering column... DSCN1361  and here is my harness that comes from the cruise plug. it exits with the ac control plugs... DSCN1362  dont know what ill use this for, maybe audio controls from the steering wheel. they are there as option... and all this just took 5 hours, of soldering and taping...

thanks guys. I know its nothing to be proud, but i need to really clean this wires, and stuff i undid in the past. This is the last time i mess with my car....
today i finished the steering colum DSCN1366  reinstalled the dash frame, and wired the amp wire on top of it to the center. i got tired of hitting it... DSCN1367  im doing jdm fenders, so i figured i had to mess with this... DSCN1368  all said and done.. Relocated the amp wire and tucked it under the fender, rewrapped the harness, after i had it all a mess. and it looks like this... DSCN1370  moving onto the dash.., nothing too serious, just need to professinally tuck the harnesses for the jdm power mirros. those are hanging on the sides.... DSCN1371  once i install the drive by wire pedal, and plug some holes, i will be reinstalling the dash again, for it never to come out.... (crosses fingers) ....

well not that many, since working on the swap delayed me a lot. little here and there.
Since the FRS seats dont fit, got a steamer finally to steam the foam and rejuvenate it, and wrap the oem seats in leather... DSCN1364  however, the stupid leather upper covers dont fit, they have somehow shrunk.... made a custom line for low pressure power steering. more info on the swap... DSCN1469  cleaned the subframe DSCN1463  and painted it... DSCN1473  painted the power steering rack. DSCN1464  and trying to hack some enlinks for the front. DSCN1472  cant do the engine wiring because i dont have a spcific plug, and it sucks.. so im just doing bits here and there..

What did you do with those cruise control wires? I wouldve bought them

With the 7gc e-brake, was it modifying the plastic trim on it to get it to work or did you have to do more?

I was looking at some 5th gens earlier and it seemed their handbrake was shorter as well. I guess for whatever reason they decided the 6th gen's should be ginormous.

i did not take pics of the process, i figured no one would be interested. Significant amount of welding is required...
I extended the tube that holds the screw, and the curve at the bottome that holds the cable. also had to modify both legs, extend on peg by 1 cm, and completely move a leg. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

I think I need to drop my Supra off at your house for about 6 months. I need some shiny new suspension parts too! It's strange to see such a familiar looking suspension setup but so shiny and painted, not all rusty and worn like mine...

So I just wrapped up a water pump job on a 2GR Avalon today, I'm pretty sure you'll need to remove your engine to do the water pump in your car if you ever need to. It's pretty tight, there's some bolts that don't even come out all the way, you have to just tilt things and raise the engine a little and even then it's hard. It all fits but it's real skin of the teeth stuff.

So after an absence in the garage. after freaking back surgery, Good weather. Went back and revised what was missing for this badboy to run.
If it does not exist. Make it. So there is no low pressure line that will fit. So i finished the line i needed. 682B00E3  So it looks pretty. Need to wait to dry!!! 485168FC  After which i decided to finish up the custom high pressure ps line. 520CA9B5  With the modified bracket. It was installed 2739787B  Next step was the heater hoses... 7648613F  Then i went and prepared the return radiator hose. Well its hybrid. No other ways. I hate it but. It will be ok... 089411FA  After installed... 369EA338  0D13592E  Then installed the ac lines... DAD23FED  There is 4 mm of clearance. Oh well. Crossing fingers... 8ECAE45C  Installed drivers side brake line 3FA2E79C  Then finished one axle... 0FE08BC2  Few odds and ends not pictures tightened the power steering rack, installed tranny seals... And replaced the belt.... Thats for now... 5C892438  Cheers.... This post has been edited by njccmd2002: Sep 24, 2017 - 3:10 AM -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

A cap that's flat and is knobbed like a water spicket would work, I think that's how the one on the 7A was. Perhaps it or another like it would have the right threading.

Could try one off a 5s as well. It's not nearly as tall as that.
Worst case scenario, get some hood spacers where the hood bolts to the hinges and bump that b!tch up hahaha |

Lol thats funny. Never tought they would exist. But the hood would look funny. IMO. Ive tought about relocating the oil cap. Ive searched for slim caps. You name it. Someday an idea will pop...

Talk about tight clearances. Probably the best thing to do then would be to take some firm enough rubber that's oil resistant etc and make a plug/stopper.

I think hood spacers look retarded. And thse are only 3/4 inch and expensive at local harware store. Black chrome.
434A7E1D  03CD5CA1  And the end look i dont like FD1E97F3  BCEA1530  Happen to just find them at ace harware. Worst of all clearance. CB24F6AD  Was only improved marginally This post has been edited by njccmd2002: Sep 25, 2017 - 1:11 AM -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

is it hitting the bracing of the hood or the top part of the hood?
I know it's not ideal, but would cutting into the bracing help? -------------------- *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. |

Put up a pic of where it's hitting under the hood please sir.
and I know it's a tight fit but does the hood close with no cap ? or no close without damage ? This post has been edited by Batman722: Nov 19, 2015 - 6:59 PM -------------------- |

The picture posted on the red view is with the hood closed. It closes with no cap. I already cut the bracing on the hood for the cam sensor. I have ordered a slim cap. When that gets here ill cut the space i need. I hate to cut the hood. The spacers are not growing on me... I have tought about relocating the oil filler in the future.

I rather cut and retack bracing than have to deal with hood spacers, at least when it's all said and done it really won't be glaringly obvious the bracing was cut in a few small spots.
