Deep down I wish I could've swapped the celica, but this thing is pretty fun.

Story:
Picked the car up in September of 07, with "engine problem."




I tried to get the car running for a couple days but decided it wasn't worth the money or time to figure out what was wrong with it. So it sat for a while before I had some time to start ripping it apart.



During tear down I figured out why it had "engine problems"...

At least I made a crank puppy out of it


Over the next couple months I picked up a rebuilt 6 bolt motor and some other goodies. The car also just kinda sat there most of the winter because of no real time to work on it.





Finally got things all put back together about a month ago.


Ready for the first test drive

Then calling in sick to go race it the day after getting it tuned.




11.7@126.

I think I really need a driver mod

Know its no swapped celica but I think its decently quick for what it is.

Plans for winter:
1. Get some slicks
2. Boost-a-pump (was running out of fuel with my single pump)
3. Dual valve springs
4. re-tune and hope for 500 on a dd dyno
5. make it look decent if I have any extra spare money
