[the] suprica was far from all OEM parts .... that entire front was made up of aftermarket pieces sans headlight and hood. Bondo is technically aftermarket, I guess ![]() ![]() -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

Nobody cares whether it was OEM or aftermarket. It was a piece of sh!t that was discarded once completed. And, given the amount and size of the fantasies in this planned build, it will either suffer the same fate or never be completed at all. /thread. /discussion about fantasy hack-job car

nobody cares about a incomplete version of a car 4 years old that doesn't exist any more.... get over it old fart Dan, people are giving you so much crap because you've been doing nothing but talking about this. I remember talking to you 4yrs ago about this same topic, and you told me "just wait, in 2yrs it will be done". Here we are 4yrs later with another thread full of unrealistic plans and zero progress. If you really DO plan on building a rwd celica (of any hp), then START WRENCHING! So far Ive seen you spend about 500bucks on that curren front end, and thats about it. You have huge goals (rwd+500hp), yet you try to nickle and dime a rear end. This is starting to remind me of all those posts Mac used to make back in the day about the super amazing celica he was going to have because the typical swap sucks so much. Nothing ever came of that either. I expect weekly updates, with pics from now on! ![]() This post has been edited by lagos: May 16, 2008 - 1:55 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I expect weekly updates, with pics from now on! ![]() I don't realese all my pics ![]() ![]() Building isn't all about wrenching though, I've been consistently researching suspension application components and which motor + tranny setup i would like to go with. This is a very difficult aspect of this build since so much of the car depends on it. My friend owns an IS300 and will be boosting it shortly while its down for that i'll be taking measurements and figuring out how "compatible" the parts are. currently i'm concentrating on firewall parts (brake/clutch/gas/support beam) restoration as much of it came with lots of rust. fyi a lot more than $500 has been spent on this car already. yall assume too much ![]() This post has been edited by playr158: May 16, 2008 - 10:04 PM |
