haha yea thanks it nothing against the celica for being only 19 years old, ive gone through quite a few cars and the celica was one of the better ones i think mine just has some sort of vendetta or something against me, which would make sense ( we all know celicas are very vengeful creatures) haha |

no dude, sorry but it doesnt i know they have different trannys i just dont know what tranny i have either, the tranny in my car has been replaced at one point, by what tranny, i dont know i know for a fact that my car was rebuilt (says it on the title) not just like, modded, or suped up but like they took two car halves, and put them together well thats explaining it simply dont worry, i know its not as simeple as putting two halves together anyway, what im saying is this this car was wrecked, severely, and they put it bacc together.... from other cars, so.... is possible they used a gt tranny, and engine which, they didnt, but its possible lol and no, the "k" isnt stucc on my keyboard i just refuse to use the letters "c" and "k" in that order lol, yea its ridiculous, but i have my reasons a few of you may know why i use double c's instead of ck and every chance i get i use BK haha, if you dont get it, dont worry about it |

mine has about 180k miles on it and everything started breaking down a few weeks ago lol im in the process of replacing a few things in the last two weeks alone i have bought: new front cv axles new clutch new brake master cylinder new ball joints new water pump yea, and im still not done, a few more things and it should be like new i bought a prelude one time for what i thought was a good deal the day after i bought it, it started falling apart the bumper actually came off while i was driving home the next day all the ball joints had to be replaced along with all the brakes, new rotors all around i ended up spending a couple hundred restoring it after i was done tho it was an awsome little car until some bitch hit me going 80 mph then blamed me for the accident the overall message is this: if YOU put all the hours of work into it, then YOU will enjoy it more than anyone else would |

just an update so my engine unfortunately is a 7a-fe good news is the axle works great noise is gone from that side handles perfectly but bad news is this: because of my lucc, another completely unrelated problem has arose i need a new brake master cylinder alas, i thought my car would be ready tonight after three weeks of different stuff going wrong one more has come up haha, im in a good mood tonight tho so i suppose i will just order a new master cylinder tomorrow morning and to answer the question about making an axle i didnt exactly MAKE one my old one was the perfect length, so i measure it and cut out a precise lenght from the shaft then i put it into the middle of the new axle i had bought ( which before i worked on it was significantly shorter) at my shop we have machinery and tools that helped me to make sure the shaft was kept perfectly straight and i welded it myself, so im sure it will hold its not exactly the smartest idea but i really had no other option im still unaware of what tranny is in my car so i couldnt find the right one and my method was really a last resort |

well it was wrecked at one point i figured that much out my guess is they needed a new engine, and the 5s was handy because im pretty sure they weren going for performance just trying to get it running well the guys who owns the shop its in isnt coming to his shop today so i cant try comparing pics or figuring which engine i have. im just having alot of problems because i dont know what engine and tranny i have the main problem im having right now are my cv axles arent matching up to anything celica so im just going to take the new one, and extend it to the lenght of the old one everything else on the axle is the same, splin count, diameter, etc.. and im tired of waiting on my car to be fixed tonight.... i make my own cv axle everyone keep your fingers crossed |
