Test fit! Lines up quite well. As for the rubber seal that goes between the bumper and hood....how are you guys modifying yours to make it not look ridiculous? Or is there anyone on here with the seal and metal slip cover that goes over the bumper lip that is willing to sell theirs?

A lot of progress has been made! The hood and bumper are nearly paint worthy! I've also got a few items that are on the way. My car had to be sent back to the body shop from previous repairs made in March, but I'm finally getting back on track.
If anyone would like the CURRENT Toyota part numbers for the items I've ordered LMK. I will post them, and hopefully benefit another 6gc'er. Items on order include: Complete Engine Overhaul Gasket Kit (I will source the part numbers to these items if needed), Timing Belt, Water Pump Assy, Oil Pump Assy, Wiseco Pistons 86.5mm, Eagle H-Beam Rods w/ ARP Rod Bolts, ARP Main Studs, ARP Head Studs, 2nd Gen Plug Wires, Distributor Cap, Distributor Rotor, Hydraulic Timing Belt Tensioner, and ACL Bearings. Engine Block is currently at machine shop being hot tanked and new freeze plugs installed. Will provide pic's when I can. -------------------- |

Been looking around today at different Manual Boost Controllers. Any body on this site ever use the "Grimmspeed" brand? Seems like a decent unit, and has a reasonable price.
Thoughts? -------------------- |

Hi,
QUOTE (bsamps4 @ Mar 21, 2011 - 5:37 PM) What on earth are these?     this is part of the anti-lag system, like the pipes on the ex-maifold and the 3way valve between intercooler and BOV, but just for homologation purpose in your car (except the bigger blue VSV, this is the OEM boost controll selenoid) greetz This post has been edited by Sunny: Sep 17, 2011 - 11:02 AM -------------------- KEEP COOL UNDER PRESSURE

Just got a call from the machine shop. The block has been cleaned, and new freeze plugs installed. The guy also mentioned that the block was warped between .002 and .003. That's not a lot of warpage, but I want it perfect. Right now I'm waiting on pistons, clutch, bearings, and ARP hardware. Then I get to bring all the goodies up to the machine shop, and the real work begins!

Good shiz Ben!
Good to hear everything is coming along nicely, even with the warpage on the block, and that your progress is still going well. -------------------- Has no more Celicas

Shouldn't be too bad. That's only the width of a dog hair.

Dropped the head off at the machine shop today to be pressure tested, cleaned, and 5 angle valve job. Got a sneak peek at my block while I was there. The new freeze plugs have been installed, and the block has been hot tanked.

Yesterday morning I barely tripped over all the parts in front of my door. So I went ahead and took a picture for you guys, but all parts have been taken to the machine shop. The head has already been cleaned, and a valve job performed. I'll get pics when I get it back. I should have the whole assembly back in the next week or so, and the build begins!
