I'll just skip to the good stuff here as no one likes a long story.
Bought car, lowered, blew head gasket, fixed. Put in some 5GC cams and a header at the same damn time. Drove, let friend drive for a while, got back. Head asked blew again, did again. Motor started knocking, and here we are. The go: --1MZ swap in the bay, awaiting wiring --S54 with welded diff The stop: --5x114 swap in progress (I still need wheels) --V6 Camry brakes The dance: --Tein Stechs --GR2s --Rebuilt rear end --GT4 rear tower bar The show: --2post --OEM 15s painted black (for now) The beats: --Sony Bt2900 --Alpine Speakers The glasses: --HID lows --Yellow highs This post has been edited by bnr32celica: Oct 12, 2013 - 6:16 PM |

QUOTE (kurt95gt @ Oct 7, 2013 - 12:18 PM)  Wow not what I thought I'd be reading here Seconded. Maybe taking some time to get yourself together is far more important than any car or swap, Justin. Do what's best for you in the long-term. Good luck and godspeed! -------------------- Has no more Celicas
