Called my local Toyota dealership today and inquired about some celica bibles... Shop manuals.. Gotten this far without one. Its about time for me to get it, since ive never rebuilt a 3sgte. Needing all the info I can get, this needs to be done properly. They quoted me about 100$. I could get a free .doc online, but it's not the same as a book.
Cleaned up my shop a bit today, put my seats in the attic- they are HEAVY... Also putting the short block on the stand was pretty fun too. Noticed that KO racing has some pretty sweet stuff, prob get his rebuilt kit, TRD thermostat and ported fuel rail, when I get $- This spring/summer should be pretty solid so I'll have this thing built in the next 6 months.
Also when my loan is paid for this car I get the money back, then I'll have the money for a nice turbo, and then some. My short term goal is to get this running at stage 1 and built to withstand big power. this way i dont have to pull the engine again. Once this car is running reliably I'm selling my Truck, which I'm doing a brake job on calipers, rotors(bolt on maunaly locking hubs) and pads... $400 parts, PITA. Looking forward to having a sick gt4, that the brakes are much Easyer to replace.
