traffic is a bitch... i hate being stuck in traffic.
anywhoo Daniel is right. Beams only works on facebook because all the info is provided on there through vaguely constructed questions such as: "hey guys, how do you swap a beams?" or "does a 3sge beams fit in my gt?" or the ever pondering "what iz beams?"

[Box]

Refried BEAMS.

[bloodMoney]

No, these days you learn how to do BEAMS swaps on Facebook.

It's retarded how true that comment is. Did anyone else see that ebay short shifter thread? After the first few posts, I just gave up.

[njccmd2002]

I've been seriously considering leaving all the FB celica groups. I hate people.

I don't have facebook... What are the Celica groups like on there? I know that newcelica is 98% dead and is almost exclusively on their FB page now. Sad really... Only six/seven years ago is was hoppin'.

[njccmd2002]

see, i type beams, and this page gets traffic...

Narly, faisbuk groups suck, too many idiots promoting **** information. Its not even a joke, ask the same question 6 times a day. the awd tranny can be used as fwd if its plugged...

you're not missing much man. remember back in the days when we would all yell at noobs to use the search button. yeah,... it's like that but they just don't use the search button after we tell them anymore. lol

I don't use facebook because I'm too nice and spoon feed people, it's a method of self preservation.

[njccmd2002]

couple days ago worked on getting the a/c lines sorted out. because there is too much heat in the bay needed to protect the lines...

DSCN1809


DSCN1811


i have to get them painted to complete the look, and it also reinforces the bar as well

[njccmd2002]

i got this from prime.....

DSCN1803


quarter inch extended slave cylinder rod, and of course new tranny gaskets.... the rod and the normal shifter, makes shifting the 2gr much better... it was a poor choice of clutch.

[cheela]

First, you give so little, now you give so much!!?!

The a/c is coming along now. soon you can have the top up and leather seats freezing cold!

Engine bay is looking cleaner, those red wires though...



and what's going on with the top of your bar, looks like you rolled it once already? lol

[Box]

will update some... for cheela....

Oh, I see how it is.

Do you have an ACT clutch in the car?

That was the only time we needed an extended slave cylinder rod. I HATED that clutch.

[slavie]

There was a guy on ToyotaNation looking to swap a 2GR into a Gen4 Camry. I sent him your way. He decided not to do the swap. What's up with that???

I had ACT clutch, the stock level one, in my 5SFE Camry mated to a Fidanza FW - I don't know why, but I would always smell clutch after some city driving, and the thing wore down in like 15k miles. Odd. I don't think I'm that bad at driving shtik.

[njccmd2002]

which i dont get, because engine prices are lower now, and the swap can be had for almost same price if not less than a 3sgte. Sure people like turbos, but the 270hp on a fwd sucks. but i guess this is one of those things that will never catch in the car community.

beams is catching up several years later
