I'm going to build her from the inside out to make sure she stays reliable and fast. I have a whole list of parts but will start with the ones I got. The rest should be here tomorrow (would have been today if I got to UPS in time) only got 2 things to share. The flywheel- your typical...

Thanks I needed a bump! Parts are arriving I got my pistons and flywheel today the rest has come in I just have to pick them up! I am so excited I’m actually shaking!! Pics will come very soon.

Looks like it is going to be one sweet set up once it is done. I can only dream of having something similar.

I am trying to figure out what compression I will end up with and how it will affect the car. The head will be machined 10thou with a 2.0mm stopper gasket and pistons that .020 over and are rated to 9.0:1

Wait a sec... was that sarcasm? :icon_razz I guess I should really worry about getting my car running and more low before I bother with thoughts of rims.

Crap, but they look so good. Thanks JDub Last shot

Thats sick. I was wondering what motor that was and I'm glad to see the 7m in there. Good work and lets see some numbers!

How much work would it take to make a rim with a +40 offset fit under a mkiii?

You done yet? I want an update!

Good god. If the car even runs then I think we have a new Supra of the year!! What do you have planned for the moldings, color matched?

hmm I thought I already subscribed to this. Great job! I never realized how good these old Celicas look and now with some power it should be a lot of fun.

Congrats on getting her on the road. Now just get her driving straight then mash that right pedal!

Thanks, only one problem though. I would love to mess around and build the motor my self but I rely on it to much to go wrong and need it back on the road as soon as I can so, most of the work is going to end up being done at the shop. Oh well, anything to keep the car on the road right? I...

Pulled a lot of the bigger stuff off the spare motor today. I will be calling a few machine shops on Monday to get a quote on the rebuild cost. Pics of the motor as of an hour ago: White tips? The only thing keeping me outside at 34*c

Hey pete great build so far. Where did you get the poly motor mounts and torque damper and did you decide to get your flywheel resurfaced, or go with the lightweight flywheel?

Very nice, it is cool to see so much effort put in to one of our cars. And I really like the dashboard you made, it is very clean!

Looks great. I wish I was as far along as you are.. Oh well sounds like a great (and very similar) build :biglaugh:

You done yet? lol I cant wait to see the motor installed!

Sorry I was referring to the motor I am getting rebuilt

^^I plan to plug it in now that I know I have a block heater :biglaugh: I thought synthetic was bad for new engines?? Doesn't allow it to break in properly or something like that. (Sounds weird but I know I have heard it before) Exactly. I don’t know that Houston will ever get cold enough to...
