Re: Old School Toyota celica

you can do like Probezilla it has a non turbo 2jz with the stock 2jz-gte pistons and rods in it. check it out.

or you can use a 1jz. it's smaller then the 2jz but, it will still make all kinds of power with stock parts. I don't know how fast you want to go.
the 76/77 celica weights about 2400lbs stock and a 1jz or 2jz can make over 450hp with stock twins
an a 9inch. can be a 10's car on pump gas.

Dam!!!! how you do that?
I hope everything is OK.

Fast as I can with out needing to sign my life away... 2JZ sounds like a good option... I Prefer the wrecking yards for an engine because I can get it cheaper then on ebay and i am not afrraid to do it my self... I can get the motor and trans as a package for less then $500 if I can loctae a good usuable one in there... actually there was a 95 lexus a while back that I believe had that combo in it... My buddy has a few turbos so I am thinking for less then $1000 we can make it go fast... then when it breaks will make it go faster...

BTW thanks to every one for the get well soon!!!

What about smaller engines like SR20s, CA18s, and 4AGEs? I can understand the six for a drag car, but I think the fours would be easier to fit and wouldn't affect the handling much if at all. I mean good luck finding any of those in a junkyard in this country, but they are some capable little engines.

Wasn't it Top Secret that ditched the 2JZGTE in their Supra in favor of a 4AGTE?

Re: Old School Toyota celica

Like they say Go big or go Home.... Ya the first pic that looks like the joint exploded was The original damage. They had to put me under and slice it up to flush all the crap out. The x ray looks sick... you can see all the crap from the the cut back to the knuckle. Thats why the insicion was so far back. Then it was all stiched up... looks like about 10 or so stiches... The best part was I told the ER Doctor that at least I was wearing my safety glasses this time... The only person in the ER that new what a water jet machine was, was one of the female nursess... every one else I had to explain it to. a car presuree washer is roughly 3000 psi or so at the tip This machine increases water pressure to about 50,000 PSI at the tip wich comes out of a hole that is about .025 in diameter and uses a mixture of water pressure and garnet, wich to my understanding is the second hardest menarial next to a diamond. For those of you asking what is Garnet, it is basically a silica based sand particle that is mostly redish in color... The do actually use it for sand blasting applications too... Funny thing is my boss had his arm sliced open by a steel plate a few weeks back wich severed 5 tendounds and he thinks this looks worse and more painfull then his injury... I ran out side and said gotta go to the hospital and he was like oh shit how bad is it... pulled back the shop rag and he was like oh shit... , Did it go all the way through??? I was like no, but I think it got the tendound on top. He was like oh f*#$ now what are gonna do I was like well lets see what they say in the er and go from there... You could actually see the garnet in a straight line next to my bone in the x ray that ran all the way back to my knuckle... They have to treat it the same as a gun shot wound and flush everything out...

OPPS, I am a victim of my own stupidity

Actually the new GF asked what the hell I was thinking!!! at least she is nice and sympathitic though about it and not telling me how dumb it was... I tell you I am diffinatly getting better medical Insurance!!! The crappy HMO plan from BLUE CROSS that I have through a 3rd party for my cobra plan sucks... For what I am paying I can get a nice PPO plan on my own that covers dental too. This is the last month I am coverd through the old plan and I am signing up for a new plan this coming week. I may also pay for 1 additional month of the old plan directly through blue cross to make sure all my bills for this get covered... at least I will be getting a raise to cover the cost of my new health plan...

HA HA... Suprisingly not until later!!! Under water it feels like a jacuzzey jet... but I did feel the skin seprating and I knew oh shit thats gonna need to go to the hospital before I even saw what it did.... Then I nearly passed out from the pain... I am on an antibiotic along with a very strong pain killer... Cant really drive on the pain killer because it messes me up that good... then when I don't take it, like so I can drive and run my errons, it gives me a killer head ache, and I some times feel wosey from it after the fact... definitly taking care of it... I am actually going to get some more gause right now so I can change the dressing today...

Thanks to every one for the kind words!!! Even if I am a Victim of my own Stupidity

Thanks,
Joseph

Nothing really big yet. I've been accumulating pieces and parts. Yes, I'm in Nor Cal.
I travel all over to get parts. sometime I will travel to the next state.

Re: Old School Toyota celica

Actually I had an accedeint at work on monday Pictures below I have alot to do on both of the projects but I am going to try an assemble the fab 9 by this weekend... still waiting on space for the 55... The original idea was to go low buck on this thing since I got it cheap and between me and my freind we can throw something together with plenty of Hi Tech Junk yard parts... I can do all the chassis and fab and he is really good with engine/transmission and tuning stuff... What specifically did the 2jz motors come in??? What all should I grab from the Junk yard if I find a good one??? Just the engine or a complete assembly with trans and wiring???

the half price sale is coming up again so I need to start looking...

oh my ........................................ uuuuughhhhhhhh ! That's horrible. Seriously made my stomach turn !

Nice car, though

How Does my 77 look??? The headliner is actuall still intact but the lens for the lamp is missing... Couldn't get a good picture of it because of the sun light... Is there a place or site were I could find collecters looking for some of the original parts That I may be shedding from it???

Thanks Karey!!!
