I thought I saw a 4age head and block for sale on craigslist. But I did want 4agze for sammie, she doesn't want forced induction. But Sammies car needs serious body work.

Yeah 4age head and block for $150 if I remember correctly. I'm not gonna go boost crazy, don't want the headache of maintaining the car every day and have it down every other month or so....4agze head and supercharger is fine with me and build a monster 7agze. All right you made me committed to this build.

NOICE!!! **** your going to build a Frankenstein like me hahaha. But suspension is big for me too.

Weather is so nice out today!

Attention Folks... Meet this Saturday 1PM Gregs House then we can drive out to Maple Grove Pro Kart.

Dunno....might have to do a timing belt soon. Will see if I can make it.

You guys are more than welcome to help...... , if not I'll learn it myself, will probably take a good day or two. Also if I'm up for it a new water pump too.

timing belt is not bad to replace. while at it, replace the water pump. takes a few hours, maybe more if you're inexperienced.

Any haters want to make it out?

You mean any haters wanna back out? Lol

I may start on it tomorrow or Tuesday with the timimng belt.

I can't help tomorrow, got class. More than likely Tuesday.

Just installed my CAI intake....didn't know it was that loud! Because my timing belt makes a whistling sound and the intake has the throaty sound, really sounds like a turbo. Unfortunely I won't have all my modifications by the time we meet up=ghey!

I'll be ordering parts tomorrow (timing belt and belt tensioner kit / water pump / all the gaskets that I need replaced) and get my new front brake pads in...will pick them up early Tuesday. Pick up a 6 pack of GATORADE maybe a crave case, pending if William is coming to help, anyone is welcome to come, pm me for address. De-assemble front bumper, fenders, and all plastic underbody and cowls. Then get to work!

So far:
Strut Bar = $50
CAI Intake = $50
Hood Gas Dampers = $60
Cooling Plate = $70
TRD Sticker and Key = $30
Modification Total = $260

Timing Belt ($380) and Water Pump ($70) QUOTE at a local auto repair garage for cheap! $450

Doing it myself:
Timing Belt = $19.99
Belt Tensioner = $54.99
Water Pump = $38.99-43.99
Water Pump Gasket = $2.99
Valve Cover Gasket = $28.99
Oil Pan Gasket = $3.99
Total: $154.94 roughly

SAVING: $295

1995 Celica ST TUNE-UP = $415 Because that's how Blizzard Tuning does business! HEY WILLIAM! What gen 3sge motor are you picking up? If BEAMS, I might be interested in the block and build it up.

yo yo yep we can do that..meet up at gregs place! ooh yeah talkin about that hey greg when can u hook me up with your welding dude???.. going to seafoam..the engine and put the body on..but first, will this weekend is going to be nice wanna do my front mount??? and maybe take off my piping and spray it black!! haha let me know..

ohh anyone got a pretty decent intake air filter they are getting rid of..going to fab up my turbo intake pipe this weekend too.!

How decent is decent? I have a somewhat messed up spare that can be used for the time being. 2.5in connector and the filter is somewhat slanted with a small to medium opening.

Its going to be a 3rd gen 3sge non beams. Still decently high compression.

John I'll help this weekend no problem.

Greg when are you going to give me your stuff so I can weld up for you?

Not sure, but just found out that my crankshaft pulley is really loose. Might be a loose bolt or possibly blown bolt that's causing the pulley to wobble making noise as I apply acceleration. Will see if I can tighten it, still I really haven't changed my timing belt so I'mma need to do that anyways.

Today went to the store and bought the timing belt, water pump with gasket, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket. The belt tensioner kit was way too much and would take three to five days for placing an order, so I didn't get that. I know that I'm gonna have to bleed the oil and possibly coolant, so may as well do an oil change. Any other suggestions that I should buy to replace?

When are you available tomorrow Will?
