Don't worry, I hear is happens to the best of us :) Hows the Cressida coming along? snob... its cause i don't have ne thing to cruise in while i get my cressida going :party: celica has been sold about 1 month ago now... been searching for chaser front cuts... found 1 but had low oil pressure... waiting on two coming over in about 2 weeks... i got about 9k to spend on just the motor... so i should have a pretty nice setup :) so.... waiting on cut bought 850cc injectors still deciding on what turbo (something big of course and can push 30 psi :D ) still deciding on ecu waiting for coil overs to come over from jap land... prolly getting the JIC set of import bitz still deciding on what cams to get about to buy some new wheels for it too so yeah... its getten there :) should see some REAL progress as soon as i get a cut i will post up progress pics as i go aswell... once i get the cut i should have it on the road in about 2-3 months and then a few weeks to run it in Pete p.s. sorry for going of topic :party:

  3. thanks for the input guys... and to think it use to look like this and i use to drive it around like this too :|
  4. hey guys I'm back... havnt really read through the thread but can i have feburary :D ive taken some recent shots and this on is prolly the best :D see what u guys can do with it cause i aint to good when it comes to photoshop.... i seem to find mspaint as my friend though :no:
  5. i do have to add one thing... the new front bar is the shit! it blocks all the piping and u can hardly see the cooler cause it all blends in with the bar... Pete
  6. Well well well... for all the people that may have thought i had gone into hiding... well.... maybe i did... i been workin on my car a bit and after 2 months ive got it back together after finding a few problems that i didnt want to know about! lets see... from day 1 i knew the sump was leaking so after lifting the motor we took the sump of and i got it rewelded so it wasnt rubbing on the x-member at the front... hard to explain... ne ways.... i got the sump back and put it back on... we start to lower the motor and we also find that under neath the sump between the cross member and motor that the sump was getten a little squished... sat there and wondered for about an hour cause this wasnt happening previosuly... ne way.... after a stupid thought i said to my dad... lets take an engine mount of and see what we can find... dad had no other plans so he thought why the hell not.... so we start taking it of only to find that where the engine bolts to the mounts.....the mounts had been drilled to an oval shape.... so when it was originally bolted in the motor was lifted then bolted to the mounts so it was sitting higher *not happy jan* so we made some new mounts and stuff and now the motor sits right... and we all know that i bent up the front end a little so we have sorta straightend it out now and i got a RA65 front bar instead of that ugly RA60 bar i had on there... made some new intercooler piping aswell so it wasnt leaning up against the radiator. *oh fun* and finally this weekend we put it all together... dropped some new oil in her... replaced the oil filter... changed the gear box oil... changed the diff oil.... and she purs like a dream... its actually a pleasure to drive now and not a bitch... there has also been some addition of some guages.... adjustable shift light, oil pressure guage, and water temp.... and ive also put some DBA slotted discs in the front and new brake pads.... also done the wheel bearings while we were at it.... i think now all i need is a paint job and interior and it will look smick... pfft much better things are to come after i sell this... ne way... heres a pic i have of her from today after fittin up the front bar and getten her ready for the start. P.S.... please ignore all spelling mistakes and punctuation as i am very tired.... been up at 6am yesturday and today workin on the car flat out to get it ready and i only just got home... Pete

  12. howdy howdy I'm Pete Respect to the old school celicas (RA65's) it goes fast... and thats all that matters :ninja: *1JZ enhanced* oh and I'm on the Goldy about 2 min drive from pauly with the very abused sprinter... and i still don't know how he drifts that thing.... go hard son!
  13. well i went for my first offical ride in the silly car. first thing i noticed was the richness.... popping and blowing big flames... built the exhaust half way under the car... so i put some big bad ass burn marks on the under body :D then i went for the first accel planting.... starts to pick up speed... "wheres the boost" *plants again* still no boost.... at this time the jaw had dropped and we pulled up and played with the waste gates... still no boost.. friend says.... lets take the lines of the waste gate... i thought... well what the hell.... so we gave it a try... still no boost... by this time it was getting onto 5pm... getting dark and it was getting harder to see what we were doing... so we parked it. started again this mornin after thinking on it over night... first thought was... take the cooler out and see if it was blocked... the turbos were spooling cause it was lettin gushes of air out of the bov when i let of... and the bov was before the cooler... so of came the cooler.. and there it is.... METAL SHAVINGS EVERYWHERE... *blinks a few times* cut the story down a little... when they were making the cooler pipes... they didnt clean them out after cutting them... so i took all the pipes of... cleaned them... shook the cooler a bit and lots of crap was coming out... i decided on not putting it back together... and getting a new cooler or getten the cooler flushed out... /rant p.s. more to come in the mere future :D
  14. battery is in the boot :D prolly ganna make a box for the surge tank and fuel pump or get one professionaly made made half of a tempory exhaust today.... its comin along nicely... get to go for my first real spin in it tommorow once the muffler is put on can't wait! laters
