i know im going to get flamed for adding 'dead weight' to my project car, but i appreciate being able to talk on the highway lol. 90-95% of the sheet metal is covered w/ the foil/foam insulation and im adding the carpet padding to the panels this week after work. i have found the BEST adhesive for this is actually rubber cement. you only have to cover the sheet metal if ur laying down the foil/foam. but u have to cover both surfaces (sheet metal/plastics AND carpet padding) when you're laying down the padding. I assume i added between 25-40LBS to the car with all this insulation, and spent ~$150. Totally worth it IMO.

sweet project!

eventhough i don't own a celica but i share the same love for the 3VZ
i have a 5S-Fe camry /w auto tranny and swapped it out for a 3VZ-FE with 5speed
gotta love the torque.
i'm in process of supercharging it with the 1MZFE supercharger...it's much easier since it's a bolt on with minor custom mods.

turboing 3VZ would be great as well but make sure u size it correctly
a recommended turbo would be a Garette T3/T04E 57 Trim w/ .82 AR

Good progress. This swap should be done in no time. Looks like the Houston crew is catching up with the NE Coast guys.
