My Celica, with BEAMS Options

[aspen]

So here's my Celica as she stands now:


And when I got her, nearly 6 years ago at 139,000 miles:


She's a 1994 GT. Fully stock when I bought it(wheels aside). Perfectly clean. Never been in an accident.

Now it's got whited out JDM Tails, ST Suspensions sway bars, new Konig wheels and Megan Racing coilovers.



A few weeks ago I started getting some possible signs of a broken head gasket. So, I decided to dive in and do something that I've been wanting to do for a while.
So, today I got:

Gaskets are on their way. I've already got a new clutch and some motor mounts. New cluster is on it's way too. Just setting to work on electrical until then!

Now you're onto something. The motors get horribly gunked up in those ISCV's. Regrettably they can't be cleaned without actually taking everything completely apart. I tried just spraying some cleaner through the throttle body on mine but had to actually take it off. I despise those screws that Toyota used to attach the ISCV to the throttle body... They're those lame Jap spec super soft metal screw that strip out if you look at them wrong.

I'm sure your TPS is fine. I picked up a brand new one from Toyota for mine. They aren't adjustable on the BEAMS but when I checked my new one with a multimeter, I found that there's just enough play in it to send the wrong signal to the ECU. Whether it would make a difference or not I don't know, but I did have to twist mine as far as I could before tightening the screws.
