Seeing the lack of meets in my neighborhood, I may have to look into This one.

"The Guy " ? :lol:

Chris /Oh/ O'Rourke.
www.celicaturbo.com

Not sure if he is doing Anything with his Shuttle now a days ? :shrug:
He is busy with Another business. http://www.outbackww.com/

> other than that, i'm not sure who else there is

The number of AT owners is dwindling isn't it ?

I emailed Chris about 6 months ago and the shuttle was still down. He spends his time on his new(ish) business now. Poor car has been down for what 2 or 3 years now?

Looks like I may not need one. Compression showed 90 on 1st cylinder and 60 on the other 3.

Added some atf and turned the motor over a few times and re did the compression test, 120 across the board. Remembering that one of the cats is gutted I wondered if maybe something was being too restrictive on the motor since I got even numbers the first time on 3 cylinders. I pull the o2 sensor from the downpipe and do the compression test once more. 190 across the board.

I went and got some gas to put some in because it was getting low and then ran it to burn off the remaining atf in the cylinders. Car was able to idle decently and NO MORE SMOKE !!!!!!!!!!! W000000000TTT

Sorry telling the story of how I thought my $3k rebuild went to waste and then it working and sounding beastly with the bung for the o2 sensor open makes me excited.

I was gonna rebuild it since it already has a .49 trim wheel in it. :smokes:

Sure is, today I'll pick up tune up items since the plugs have a bit of burnt oil on them and my alternator went bad+battery because of the time sitting.

BTW - How would I go about finding other 3S owners in Houston?
Oh and to all of you who are needing motors etc. - I know an importer who is trying to nearly give away several ST-185 clips so if you need engines badly and wouldn't mind a whole clip instead - hit me up.

PM sent for a friend

Finally got the price - $1500 without haggling all with body parts and dashboards - sounds good to me. If someone needs a tranny or everything but the engine I'm down to split one. Otherwise they'll put it on the truck for you with a nice Toyota forklift :smokes:
If anyone is actually serious about buying one I'll hook you up with the guy so you can do your own haggling/business etc.

Ew yeah TX weather with no AC. Unless my alltrac is in tip top shape to show off I probably take it down there, i'll just stop by with a car equipped with working AC.
