Well i did it!! finally purchased my st205 front clip ( off ebay) . Clips located in Orlando and im In NC. Bout 10 hour road trip to go pick it up. Not bad, drove to Tallahassee to pick up my 2nd celica (Rosy) from Ian; a member of this site, so this trip shouldn't suck too bad. As soon as i figure out how to post pictures ill do just that. but those of you who cant wait, i think its still on ebay for some reason; its the silver st205 with the projectors. those of you who dont believe me i definitley bought it ( call them up if you dont believe me).
I was actually wondering why it was on ebay for so long. Seemed like a pretty fair deal to me and after a month went by i couldnt take it anymore! lol. This is definitley not going to be a super fast swap. After seeing Bens swap, not in person, yet; i want to do the swap right. Not gonna take a year either but hopefully no more than 6 months. Ill try and post pics as well as other members from this site have done, hopefully some people will lend a hand because I am no mechanic lol. Have most of the tools needed, and my dad knows what he's doing and Ben offered his assistance also so this should really all be happening very shortly. Still in shock to be honest, For 6 years i've owned celicas ( 94 gt, 95 4age 20v) and never had the guts to embark on the 3s journey; but taking the plunge and actually ordering the front clip, i gotta tell ya, it feels phenemenol lol. I just hope the front clip i bought on ebay was worth it, ( i value your opinions) I guess thats it for now, ill feel much better once its in my posession. Tried to leave tonight but not sure if my moms 2000 ford windstar can make it.  [/img] [/img] [/img]

missed yet another celica meet. Im disappointed in myself that i have yet to show my face at these meets. I owe it to you guys to be there but in the end, working is going to get the 3s in the car. Not trying to avoid you guys and hope you can understand i cant miss work so i can get this swap done quick. Well im done sucking up to you bastads lol but Should actually have sunday off so lets get this thing torn to pieces so i can start painting the block and get the hard part over. Intercooler should be here in a couple weeks. Major things i still need to do are......
source a E153 Transmission, Axles, clutch kit and Wiring harness converted. Also Ben has extra piping so hopefully i can get the exhaust planned out soon. Ordering, Bearings, Pistons, Rods and Studs From realstreetperformance.com Within two weeks as well as visiting the machine shop  Full Gasket set, timing and water pump. Water Meth Injection, Three Pod Guages, Turbo timer, Fuel Pump. Berk Downpipe Possibly a nicer radiotor like a KOYO. Would Love to Dynamat the whole inside but haven't done the research quite yet Member on here is trading me his Precision Front Mount, including an ebay BOV (but will probably upgrade that) and all the intercooler piping already measured up and ready to go For my Top Mount. Let me Know what im missing guys. Im tired as hell from a long day at work but felt like rambling lol. Seriously would love to hear you guys chime in and tell me what you think. I know I know i like hearing myself type. |
