Hey all its been awhile since I posted anything about my car. To start from the beginning as a recap. I bought a 94 GT and decided I was going to do a motor swap. After a couple months I sourced out a clip in Canada and had it shipped to me. Spent a little extra time pulling the motor and making sure everything was clean and perfect before I threw it on to the GT. Spent a couple months on the GT (prepping it for the swap) and all of a sudden I get into a collision. Luckily the motor had not been swapped yet, but the GT was totaled. The sad part was, was that I bought it with the ST205 hood and bumper on it, so there goes about $1000 bucks ish in JDM parts. So later I bought a Celica that already had an ST215 motor in it. Car was a rocket, it was awesome and felt so nice. However I still had the ST205 motor sitting in my garage and I wasn't satisfied with that. So after 8 months of owning the ST215, I sold it to a close friend who gave me what I paid for the car plus his Celica ST (AT200) as a donor car. And that my friends is where the story starts. Sorry for the long and boring intro.
