    Project Thread my collection of old toyota's

    Thanks for the update and info. I looked on Simmons website and I think you have the F90 models. Their stuff look really well built and light, but at that price I'd stick with something more common on this part of the world (SSR, Work, Volk). Nice to see your kinking ass with you Celica on the...

    Injector cap what if broken!!

    I appreciate your concern smitherz, but since I live in Canada, exchange rate and shipping is a much more painfull and expensive thing. For now I just want to get the engine running and in the hole. After that in a year or two I'll get the engine out and get those kind of things done alone with...

    Injector cap what if broken!!

    I was quoted 50$ each for balancing and cleaning. I'm gonna try to find cheaper solution. I dont really want to spend that much money until the engine is in the car and running ok. Why can't I just buy the stupid caps??? Thanks MWp and Cribbjs

    Injector cap what if broken!!

    Exactly sorry I didn't had the proper term. I was also wondering if there's other engine using similar injectors. It might be cheaper just to score good ones at the yard. I'm gonna try to find a places that does injector cleaning. Any bad behaviour without pintle caps? Big thanks

    my d*mn seats!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I took one appart because it was doing the same thing. I found out that the motor was on the left and the movement was transmited through a rod with spline at each ends. Now the splines are all stripped and I don't know how the right hinge seized, but there's no way to move it. To reach the...

    Progress on 1UZFE > RA65 swap

    I'm a 1985 Celica owner and I had the same dillema. The only thing I could say is that a 300hp 22re-t will be already maxed out, so not much more gain to get if you get bored. You will have lag and the engine will still look like **** when you pop the hood. Lets face it, the old design 22re...

    I will check that Zuffen. We removed the rear brake line on the proportionning valve and we couldn't get any pressure. I checked and rechecked the FSM and it see like something is closed there. there is an antileak on the front brake, but not on the rear one. Do this thing need a pressure...
