A little bit of background to my story and what I call an almost miracle
WOW, I can't believe how much of a coincidence its been for me. The same day I crashed my car which was on Dec. 13 2010 was the same day that Erahman posted up his 99 Celica GT with beams swap for sale. I couldn't believe that the opportunity presented itself so quickly. What are the chances of that. I mainly believe that its just the fact that I've been wanting to get a beams swap since September of 2008. I actually bought a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R 750 in July 2008. I was all ecstatic when I bought as anybody else would be, but when I found out about the beams swap thanks to Maikl I actually regretted buying the motorcycle. It then wasn't until may 2010 when I crashed my bike in the canyons that I knew the beams engine would be mine very soon. My parents have Triple AAA plus which allows you to tow any vehicle free of charge as long as it is not more than 100 miles. So I drove down to San Diego and the tow truck took my new Celica to my house I have to say that my dream car wouldn't of been possible if it wasn't for the fact that my grandma let me borrow $4,500. Those $4,500 that I used to buy the celica went a long ways. Erahman took real good care of the car and only put about 3,500 miles on the swap since June 2010. He has replaced a lot of maintenance parts. The one thing that was an upgrade was that fact that my celica now has ABS, power windows, power door locks and rear disk brakes!! feels damn good to be unique. Over here in So cal there are 4 million civics and 2 million Integras. and probably only 4 or 5 beams swap in all of California. Walbro 255LPH fuel pump purchased from Tweak Tuning and WRC Style Rain Deflector given to me for about $8 thanks to batman! if anybody has a trd one in near perfect condition I'll trade you for my wrc one!!!

I just had another thought for your lack of power complaint, are you even revving to 7000?
the 9000 rpm tachometer sort of ends around the same place as the 8000rpm tachometer, the numbers are closer together so when your hitting the 7000 according to your dash it may only be around 5800 - 6000rpm. if you rev it up to the limiter, just see what point on the gauge it bounces at, it should be either 7000rpm or 7200rpm at the cutoff point (can't remember 3SGE, I know 3SGTE is 7200). the way the UK guys do it is to use/wire in the entire JDM cluster, put an MPH sticker over the KM/H lettering and then use a 1.6 divider speed signal adjuster so that the speedo and odometers tick over in miles, it also raises the speed cut limit from 200KM/H to effectively 200MPH This post has been edited by delusionz: Jun 1, 2011 - 7:18 PM -------------------- Mike W
