Ok so I now have my Caldina clip sitting at my house and I was so excited at first but now I'm having second thoughts. I can't find anyone in Houston that I think can actually do the job correctly and I don't want to spend 2 weeks in Florida so that Hux racing can do the swap.
I am one of the founders of the Houston Toyota Club which has around 100 members but I worry that we will be able to get the job done or will I end up with my car messed up and driving my POS daily driver - 92 FORD Exploder. Also I only paid $1500 for my clip because I found it locally and the clip shop had no idea what they had - naturally I jumped the gun without thinking and just bought the clip. Now I have offers to sell the clip for $3000+ and I am really hung on my descision. If you look at my profile you will see that I have been modding the car with the intention of swapping and I have tried to build th car intelligently towards that end. Hell I even bought the car (traded my '95 for it) specifically to swap. It would be my dream car and I have no doubts I would keep it forever but why am I feeling so jittery about it? is this normal for people who start the swap? Has anyone on here actually completed a swap from a Caldina? How did the wiring go? opinions? This post has been edited by Negative: Jun 2, 2005 - 4:39 PM -------------------- ![]() |

Hey Playr - just checking out your profile - how did you do the black headliner? I've got all black leather and carpeting and I've gone through great lengths to maintain the all black look with red lighting and mods but I hate my gray headliner - it gets dirty too easy but the stuff Toyota sprayed on it works pretty well. It comes clean with just a paper towel but I'm getting tired of messing with it. Black headliner would be really cool.
Thanks. -------------------- ![]() |
