i know im going to get flamed for adding 'dead weight' to my project car, but i appreciate being able to talk on the highway lol. 90-95% of the sheet metal is covered w/ the foil/foam insulation and im adding the carpet padding to the panels this week after work. i have found the BEST adhesive for this is actually rubber cement. you only have to cover the sheet metal if ur laying down the foil/foam. but u have to cover both surfaces (sheet metal/plastics AND carpet padding) when you're laying down the padding. I assume i added between 25-40LBS to the car with all this insulation, and spent ~$150. Totally worth it IMO.

sweet project!
eventhough i don't own a celica but i share the same love for the 3VZ i have a 5S-Fe camry /w auto tranny and swapped it out for a 3VZ-FE with 5speed gotta love the torque. i'm in process of supercharging it with the 1MZFE supercharger...it's much easier since it's a bolt on with minor custom mods. turboing 3VZ would be great as well but make sure u size it correctly a recommended turbo would be a Garette T3/T04E 57 Trim w/ .82 AR |

Good progress. This swap should be done in no time. Looks like the Houston crew is catching up with the NE Coast guys.

pulled the wiring harness off, and the tranny off. took the trans to the car wash and cleaned it up. found a large crack in the transmission case
 so i'll have to rebuild/replace and hope it works fine!
