So here's my Celica as she stands now:
 And when I got her, nearly 6 years ago at 139,000 miles:  She's a 1994 GT. Fully stock when I bought it(wheels aside). Perfectly clean. Never been in an accident. Now it's got whited out JDM Tails, ST Suspensions sway bars, new Konig wheels and Megan Racing coilovers. A few weeks ago I started getting some possible signs of a broken head gasket. So, I decided to dive in and do something that I've been wanting to do for a while. So, today I got:  .Gaskets are on their way. I've already got a new clutch and some motor mounts. New cluster is on it's way too. Just setting to work on electrical until then! -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne

Well, new airbox, sort of bled the coolant (I had some issues, see further down), inspected the coils (they look good), but I've still got a high idle. When I unplug my ISCV it idles the same and can't compensate for adding in A/C and such. So, we'll see.
Also, as far as the coolant, not sure if this should be worrying me or not. Seemed like it'd be plausible for there to be that much assorted air in the system with the engine swap and several impromptu hose swaps. Also, it was 100 degrees today so it started out pretty hot to begin with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUcI1fixPd4 This post has been edited by aspen: Jun 27, 2013 - 9:25 PM -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne
