well i built one before that wasnt half the cylinder head i have now, and it pulled 325 to the wheels at 10psi with a 20g. im expecting 350-375 i'll be happy with that, im running to much compression for any more without making more upgrades. and that other engine was cast pistons moly rings forged rods. he's still driving that ol' gal after 4 years. i wanna get a good year out of the bottom end and then build my hybrid engine hahahahahhaha!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

 

I used to have a 79 celica GT, just didnt have money to put into it. miss it

 

DAMN!! Ran out of hardner after the first coat!! And in my anger i walked to close to the side and my suit dragged it. ****! Back to sanding once this is all dry. Then we'll try again. Arrg I almost had a succesfull day.

 

Unnnnnnnnnbreakkkkkk my hearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttt

Haha, dunno why that came to mind when I read your post. **** sucks man, but I am sure that it will look awesome when it is done! You should drive it around flat black for a few days. Or atleast let me see it when it is like that!

 

Hey dre, this is my neighbors celica, it looks EXACTLY like this:

 

OMG OMG!!! thats my color but mine is a coupe. wow you just dont see cars like this anymore its time for mine to come out of hiding. i took the fuel assending unit out the other day, i need to have a new one fabbed up, mine is rotted in two. cheap jap metal lol j/k she is a diamond in the rough, but she will get back to her old glory, this time in black

 

Too late brah!! The mishaps I had today were in the color coat I will have just enough paint to do it again I think. If not then it is going black!
I am about to head back out to sand it down and get rid of all the **** that blew into it from the window paper doodoo!

 

Man, I cant see how you sand. I hated sanding. Hell, I did a crappy sand job on the whaletail haha.

Oh, if you need some 1000 grit, I have a sheet or 2 left at the house.

 

That is the same color as my first SA. Didn't like it, it was very... 80's oriented.

 

Why don't we do your car Flat black Stu? I am doing the FB that color once the wide body and everything is done. I need to do that one next after the shop is cleared out a bit. I Have another FD coming in to get some interior paint work done.

 

I am thinking of going Pure White. Or something like that. My car was originally white. I like the silver, but Black would be good too

 

I haven't seen Le Mans in forever. I think I am going to watch it again....

Well, after a successfull weekend with the SA. I decided to push my luck with her today. I drove it to RotorSports today to let Bryan check it out. He really liked the bridgeport. So after leaving there, I figured I would drive it to work. I can't believe how well it's running. Man, I hate that I'm selling it..........

 

Well, you may hate selling it, but it will help you out right?

I will go bridge soon, and I cant wait for it!

 

All you need is a gasket kit.........

 

Hopefully. I just don't want to break it down and see that I need new housings as well.

ANYONE HAVE A FIBEROPTIC CAMERA I CAN BORROW?

 

hey guys i need your help! i bought an amp and was wondring where in my 91 can i run the power cable through the firewall....! help thanks johnathan

 

Drill a hole, and use a gromit. Just dont drill through anything important.

 

any volunteers......i'll buy the gromit i just dont have a drill.

 

yeah man, it's not that hard to figure it out, just find a nice spot and drill ...or if you can fit it in with the throttle cable or something like that i guess that would be cool too.

 

Dave that cars looking good man, stop getting stuff in the paint. you have to paint my celica next anyway lol j/k wheres every one at tonite? kinda quite.

 

Yeah tell me about it Andre. Welcome to the world of painting In the end it will all be worth it.....so I'm told!!haha!

On a positive note, I learned that I do not like the new primer I got and tried out on my car. It sprays and lays down really nice,..but it sands like absolute ****!!. It ***** up and then sticks the big splooge of urethane ontop of what you just sanded.. So back to the old trusty primer I was using. It sands awsome.

My arms are absolutly dead!! They feel like big sticks of gummy worms.ALOT of sanding in the last few weeks.

 

Lol. Sounds like your in it for the long haul

 

Dang Dave. I hate to hear you haven't finished it yet. I hate painting. That's why I let someone else do it I have found some info on bridgeporting 6 port irons. If Dre is game, I would like to experiment with the S4 irons laying in the garage. I think it's very promising.........

 

Got the video done from Sunday...........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgc09rsZnbI
