The Progression of KAOS, ... from then 'til now. Options

[KAOS]

I've made so much progress in the past few weeks with my car (thanks mostly to local board members) that I thought I would jump on the band wagon & start my progress thread too.

This thread, just like the car; is a work in progress.

My Car was purchased back in 2006 and was meant to be a project car right away, but unfortunately I was busy with my career at the time and she was quickly neglected.

1994 Celica GT-S w/ ~224K kms on it (approx 139187 miles)

Interior was in great condition, nothing special done to it...

Exterior was in decent shape, except for the driverside fender, which was mashed in, punched back out, and rattle canned. The most unique feature of this car, was the dual exhaust.

how much work are you planning on doing to the motor wile its out? and as far as the lines go, if it were me (and it just was. LOL) swap all of your lines to new 4-ply silicone hoses, and a new rad....

with new parts and the motor out the only real part that you will need to thoroughly clean is the heater core... i have seen it done with a 5 gal bucket, a full bottle of CLR, and a cheap in bucket water pump and garden hose..

fill the bucket, put in the CLR, hook up the pump and dump tube to pour back into the bucket.. and let it cycle for about 30 min.. or until no more sh!t comes out of the core.

if you are not going to pull the block all the way apart you can use a similar system... the key though is that you then will HAVE to flush the core and the system in the motor with fresh water (just hook it up to the water hose, and let it flow till it is clear, and no more junck coming out) good luck bro!
