    My 1977 7M-GTE CELICA! Finished! Test drive vid on page 18!

    I set the R154 into place today, I got pretty lucky, the transmission tunnel does not need to be cut! Only one spot needed clearance, and a few taps of the hammer took care of that! The only cutting that I had to do was the shifter hole, just has to move back three inches. I cut out a...

    Digital dash speed sensor

    I purchased a JDM 7M-GTE and R154 for my celica project. It did not have a speedometer cable, instead it has the electronic sensor that was for the digital dash. If it matters.... My friend and fellow member of supramania (7MGTESUPRAPAT) told me that he thought the engine and trans were out of...

    As of now the plan is to have the 7m left stock except for exhaust and intercooler becasue the stock stuff will not fit anyway, still have not decided on a muffler though. I just want to get it running and driveable for now. Next year, considering the car runs and drives, I want to do bodywork...
