11/25/07 UPDATE:
Engine is out..


Rear Poly Sway bar Bushings, Couldt find them in the States..
Got them from the UK


So..i'm Staying with my 1st gen 3sge..i just want this thign to run again, i really would had liked to see a 3sgte in it but i just have way too many projects and i'd rather see my supra get the attention it needs..But the celica will get done 1st.

 

I bought a 2nd gen off of ebay, After its built up..My goal is 200 At the crank.

Brakes..
calipers and mount are off a 2006 scion xb = $100 ebay
brembo rotors = $120.00

Interior..
buying new black carpet, race seats
Got door skins from the junk yard
having a headliner place localy do the headliner

The 3sge will be for sale after the 2nd gen is done too

 

eh-heh, How is that?

 

ya i only did the fronts in the brembo..the backs are still oem
really wanted to the 5-lug conversion but just wanted to get the brake part of the car done with

 

SCION XB Brake set-up = 4 x 100 bolt pattern ..Stupid
Everything except the strut is all xb and yea i had to re-drill where it mounts

 

The xb's have bigger rotors = better stopping power
By bolting on the xb mount/caliper i was able to install bigger [drilled/slotted stockers]
Was a cheap way to do a big brake set up.

 

Def man..the celica crowd are the only ppl who really appreciate the work i put into her..Round here if its not a wrx,evo or vr4 equivalent..You get laughed off the scene

 

When i get the 2nd gen in with a 75 shot..It may a lil more respect.
but the Supra is what will eventually hand their asses to them..but the celi is 1st on my list right now..It is worlds closer to being finished

luvinmycel:
The hardest parts to find were the scion mount/calipers..Youre best bet is to someone that went with the actual big brake set up on his xb on scionlife.com or simular website And you drums on the rears ? ? = Ewww

celic_gt2:
A very few amount of the high hp AT's around get respect but even those guys arent among the big hitters
