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 |

ok first..
I dont get what happened to your car? why was it towed? second if i get it right.... 2000 bucks on your 1mz list, and that does not include the 700 + wiring? third... are u still swapping or selling, lol..... wish u luck, hope you get your car going... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
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... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

I am definitely swapping her. I had what I thought was a good deal on the wiring but was taken for a ride. I don't want to get into the towing debacle but lets just say someone tried a fast one and got caught |
