4ABHGE's Silly Car

[4ABHGE]

Without being able to clear my defect on the 82, I started to look for a daily, after considering my options the Celica was exactly what i wanted; 2zz, independant rear suspension and some luxuries

The car I bought has 240xxx km on the clock.

When I picked it up everything drove well apart from the engine, which stuttered and made noises and just didnt pull at all.

So we ripped apart the engine, cleaned the OCVs to find it full of sludge and grime!
Slapped it back together and the motor drives like new!

The plan is just to build it as a quick car in the hills which has all the creature comforts you want in a daily :)

Current mods:
- ZRE152 Stereo (bluetooth+usb+mp3+aux)
- Suzuki swift antenna






As we were cleaning the OCV for the vvti, we needed to remove the belt to pivot the alternator out of the way. We ended up rounding off the tensioner, which caused a fair few dramas!



We managed to get a flat hex socket on there, gave it a good pull and JUST as we were about to slip the belt on; this happened.



So we came up with another solution using our trusty 2zz-rope (long story short it saves every 2zz we've touched)



Now vvti is still a bit rattly but it works, and lift kicks in really well! Loving it! :D

I've tried so hard to get used to a Celica without a wing, but it's so ugly :( At least get a lip :p

Good thing it doesn't look like a 4wd anymore.

[jaay]

What happened with the steelies with 155 tyres?

[ben yip]

how much it costs you to recondition the engine?
