UPDATE: My Celi's Swap and other things.., pics and info posted. Options

[celicast3sgte]

So before I get started let me update yall on what is going on with my celica.
-It was a 94' ST Coupe, auto
-2nd gen 3sgte swap
-GT Tranny 5spd, hybrid clutch (CF & Exedy)
-CT26 stock turbo, stock IC, Apexi turbo timer, Boost & A/F Gauges

I bought the car as you see it, with the 3s sitting just as it is. The previous owner had no idea what was going on therefor I have had to redo alot of what was done so it has taken much longer to complete due to parts hunting and redoing motor mounts.




Here is a test painting of my manifold and turbo to see how the color looked, the rust still needs to be sanded off before final painting. any comments on the color tho? (and yes im using high temp paint)



Here is the 5s tranny and what I thought to be a CF dual friction clutch... that I bought from eazy2001x as of right now im still awaiting axles and shift linkage. but the clutch is CF with a little exedy in its blood, the inner plate has exedy on the center where the tension springs are and on the other side it shows CF-DF pads and label... anyone have ideas? if u want pics of the clutch itself I can post those.



Here is my interior awaiting shifter, clutch pedals, gauge pod for boost & a/f, and the 3s wire harness so I can reinstall the ECU. not much to say about this pic, I still have alot of work for this car.



And for the last pic.. The engine bay, now no comments on how bad it looks or what looks wrong because I'm waiting for my engine stand to get freed up so I can get to maintenance work on the engine and cleaning everything up in the engine bay.

Ill keep you all posted as parts arrive and the motor comes out.

its been a while since I bumped this baby.

ANYWAYS alot has happened since I last posted this. I moved, put me back on schedule, Got screwed with DHL loosing my axle, put me back on schedule, tranny never sold (3 almosts), put me WAYY back on schedule, Bought a welder, put me back on schedule. Basically the list goes on.

So here is what is left to do.
-Wire in the SDS EFI EM4-E/MSD (same setup as NIK)
-Mount the MSD hardware
-Reweld the motor mounts driver & passenger side
-Replace odd & ends (hoses, clips, etc..)
-Fab a custom exhaust

Not too much left considering the mess I started with.... I will have some 3s parts left over after this is all said and done, the silver box with the fins on the outside of it. (bad description I know) I think people were calling it a resistor pack? anyways I never paid attention because I was never going to need it.

Thats all for now ill update again when I get the motor mounted in the car.

EDIT: heres the car when I moved
