Here is a side by side of the two axles Wish me luck swapping all those damn brackets over! I am sure you can guess which axle is which.

suspension upgrades..... just the axle and some traction tweaks to avoid wheel hop. soooo basically not too much until next year Brakes..... ummm... just replacing rotors for now becasue they are warped and also upgrading to bigger back brakes becasue they are on the dodge axle, but they are...

Over the last 2 days I have gotten some stuff accomplished, Been having some girlfriend issues so I am just going to stay home and work on my car every day, sounds good to me. -bolted the throttle cable up to the firewall- -Enlarged the hole that WAS for the complicated celica factory...

Problem is finding a way to convert the front to 5 lug.... there are not too many old toyota parts around me that I can scavange....

ok... If I get FWD steel wheels for the back I think I can keep it looking relatively stock except for the offset. The Hopefully the tires will be able to sit under the wheel wells and that the fwd offset will be enough. Based on rough measurements it should work, but it isnt in the car yet so...

Thanks for all the comments guys! It really makes me want to work on it more often now that people want to see it done! I am defiently going to go sleeper with this car for now, for more than one reason too.... I will not be able to get matching wheels for it.... the front will be 4x114.3...

Comments? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

After reading many different things about installing the 7m engine to a ra29 I thought I was going to have to cut and change the angle of the mounts, This is NOT true!!! All you have to do is put a total of about 3/4" of spacers between the block and mounts and that is all! The steering...

I forgot to point it out but.... the 7m engine with 5m mounts was slightly too narrow for my stock 20r crossmember, by about 3/4 of an inch. All I did to solve that problem was put some big nuts in between the block and mounts and used slightly longer bolts. After I did that it bolted right up...

lots more pics to come.... prolly tommrow, still no power at the house, I am at work...

Shifter hole was way off, about 3 inches So I marked it..... And cut it out And then I just plan to flip the piece I cut around and then weld it back in (welding will take place later in the build on this piece) See that bolt on the...

From a previous search I did on this I found that you shouldnt put anyhitng at all in there, you may as well find a used set of electronics......sucks.

I had the EXACT same problem with my clutch, may be a different cause for you, but its worth checking. Most clutches have springs in them to dampen shocks, but mine had rubbers. The rubbers had all broken (dryrot and abuse lol.) the 20 or so broken pieces got stuck everywhere, ie; between...

I sure hope it will be fast :) It was defffffinently way underpowered with the stock 20r, but 30mpg! lol I changed my mind on when I am doing the axle swap, I am going to do it now while it is still in the garage instead of waiting for it to break. its going to be a lot of work...

I measured from my engine mounts to the back of the block and then from the crosmember mounts rearward and set the trans where it should go. My celica is the RA29, I dont think the tunnels are much different though.
