Decided to buy a beater to get me around when i get the major work done in the upcoming months. currently saving for an engine/tranny rebuild and turbo charger. going the 5sfte route, my car needs to be able to be fixed quickly when it breaks so jdm 3sgte parts kinda scare me, i'm not gonna be shooting for a ton of power anyway, just enough so a mini van cant beat me to 60, i'm figuring a modest 6 to 7lbs of boost should do the trick.

mechanical problems suck, seriously drained just about all my project money, but I now have a rebuilt transmission, new clutch, new motor mounts,new cv axles, repaired the broken flex on the front pipe. now that she runs good again i can start saving to continue my project smile.gif

I'm thinking now the turbo idea is out, just gonna have my mechanic rebuild the 5sfe thats in it and bring the car as close to new as i can get it.

I want to get my trunk repainted since i removed the wing but i dont want to lose my ghost emblems in the process, i know a lot of people have debadged there cars but I kinda like my badges the ghost badges really look awesome on a black car

Your car is looking pretty nice and I'm loving that Celica logo on the seats. Are you going to put on a body kit or keep it stock looking? Have you tought about just putting in a 3S? It might cost about the same or a little more as rebuilding the 5SFE you have. Just an idea......

not vincents seats, i went to an upholstery shop and had them done and paid extra to have the logo embroidered in. vincents seats would have saved me alot of money by comparison though, i paid just under $1k for the upholstery job.

i thought about the 3s long and hard however i fear using a turbo motor for delivering pizza, i also considered a redtop but i need availability of parts as its my only car and i need it for work, cant wait days for a part to arrive so for now i am just looking at rebuilding the 5s even if it does end up costing a little more

Its good either way you do it. So, what are your plans for future mods? I cant wait to finally get myself a convertible again. I miss the feeling.......but for now, I'm still driving my '89 MX83 Cressida.

right now the only plans are some body work, a paint job and rebuilding the 5s. after that i may start looking into future mods like coilovers i'd really like to drop the car about an inch or an inch and a half

who needs a stereo! not me! nixed the 10yo aftermarket that was humming with the alternator spent a little time fabricating a custom mount for my cell phone to dock in the double din opening. it will connect directly to the factory amp after i pick up a female to female headphone extender.
btw sounds incredible not going through that crappy old ass stereo anymore the factory amp actually performs quite well without a head unit.

updates to the audio system


replaced the factory amp with the alpine power pack


replaced speakers with 4 alpine 6 1/2 in coaxials


under the passenger seat a 250 watt kicker amp for the subs in the trunk


2 of these in the trunk not set up to thump the neighborhood just enough to fill the missing lowend the 6.5s cant produce


lastly replaced the aging acer a100 with a nexus 7

finally broke down and bought a replacement shift boot got one from bluecelicawife should have it by monday

lastly i will have a header and new downpipe sometime soon
i really should try to keep up to date on progress rather than waiting a year between updates lol

I took it to a shop and paid them to replace it.... i am assuming they spliced into the speaker wires but i know they ran a new power wire, ground wire and new remote wire as well as power, ground and remote for the sub amp under the seat.

ok new update: suspension overhaul! Front and rear Monroe OESpectrum struts, Monroe Strut Mounts (front and rear) Eibach Sportline springs, left and right lower ball joints, tie rod ends (inner and outer), Sway bar links (front and back). poly bushings for the front lower control arms from paul in poland, front and rear sway bar bushings all ordered. after all the parts arrive its back into the shop and hopefully will ride and steer like a brand new car again... well i still need to get the rear poly bushes from paul but ran out of money. maybe next month when I have some car money available
