what?

old or main?

its the one before the newest ones

with the pop up lights

but not the bulky one

yer it does make that much of a difference

had me and mrs and i notice

and i notice a whole lot more with 4 people in it

SLUGGG

haha

went and got info on my project today =]]

2jz gte manual into a mk3 supra =]

ok

i took mine up a slight hill and timed it off my deck

and i got in the 9 second mark

then later that day i clean and oiled my pod filter

and havent even floored it past 4000 yet =]

and i got some weight in my car including 2 subs

haha

so

i dno =]

ill see what i can manage when i loose a bit more fuel

ill let you know in better detail later =]

and i seem to shift at about 5800

it gives the shift i bit more power i think =]]

but thats just me driving =]

good luck at the track though hey =]]

haha yer 5sfe is a pretty ****ty motor

quite good fuel economy

but my one does go pretty well?

can beat commodores and im sure it will get to 100 in under 10 seconds

ill test it out soon =]]]

iv raced other celicas with 5sfe and kills em

its even beat a t18 with a 4age =]]

well to stop lights dimming

capacitor for my sounds system =]

that sounds good =]]

mmm

now

HID's

price me? =]

just like to know your opinions on this

i was gonna buy the 2jz engine and do work on it

pistons, valves, springs, cams, turbos, sump and everything

just wanted your opinions on the difficulty of getting it into a mk3

do different models have different mounts or cross members

what modifying needs to be done?

has anyone here done this conversion?

anyone know where you can get rarely new motors?

in perth or companys that can fly them over ?

is there any upgrades you need to do to sit with the laws?

where would you be able to get a mk3 chassis?

btw im a mechanic so i know all the rebuilding the engine work and converting and all

any warnings about doing this?

just wanted opinions before i get into this =]

thanks

they look better dont they?

i can get them for cheap anyway

if i know what to get

what are these crystal globes you speak of?

got a picture of them?

which coventrys did you work at?

haha

i know this is old

just wanted to 100% clear it up

celica's handle heaps better then lancer

drove a 03 sports lancer

with brand new tires that i fitted (this was on a test drive at work)

took it

hammered it around roundabouts corners

handles ****

its to big

it feels like its gonna tip

just

yuckkk

yes they are the same

exactly

cheer up at l;east there not $180 tires like mine =D

hahahahaa

all depends on the state they were in

if they were alright state they may use them

but i highly doubt its the mounts

the mounts bolt to both the car and the engine

so if you change then engine to a different engine

you will be changing all the mounts and moving

which might be modifying the crossmember

yer id say get your guards flared aswel at a panel beater =]

thats like $200 i think

not to bad

they're shorter

cause

think about it

a normal car

normal shocks

shocks have like a chamber inside

with a piston

so if you lower the car

you take away room for the piston to move

so if you hit a pot hole

BANG

the piston hits the bottom

lowered pistons are shortened with a longer chamber

but king springs should have them

or head over to pedders or something hey

either one

if you have a spring compressor go ahead

otherwise

strip the shocks off

go to a mechanic

and say

put these in

make sure you get shocks for lowered vehicles

i made that mistakes

blew my pistons in them

im a mechanic

and ill tell you im about

95% sure its shocks

cause i had it

and when i did my shocks done it was gone

yer i am relatively poor

but i dont wanna spend much money cause im saving to get a supra =]]

but im a mechanic so everything else is tip top shape =]

hahaha yer i know hey

but its really good if its plain footing

not even going over 3000 revs

lasts me over a week

only time i ever put my foot down is if some little show off car is next to me trying to go

haha like a hyundai accent last night

or my mates lancer

and everytime i go past him

"I SLOWED DOWN!!!"

but **** footing it EATS your petrol like fat people eat chocolate

not exactly springs more shock absorbers

but yer

go kings springs and they'll put shocks in to

wel they better

that should cure it =]]

haha

and the car like jumps up and down?

lol

its **** shocks dude

mine did do it

there on their way out

i replaced mine

and they went hey

never again

now its nice and smooth

not that iv tryed

yer iv tryed the new ones

there the same

just not enough power i guess

oh well

iv got the problem when my subs go off my lights dim abit

haha so yer

mayb when i fix that?

smaller alternator pulley you rekon?

its 55/60 watts

12 V

iv checked the power coming from the connectors aswell and when the engine is running its at 13.6 V

is there anyway to make it brighter?

ok heres the thing

i bought arctic blue H3globes for my fog lights yesterday

and H4 globes for my headlights also arctic blue

cause the ones in it now are pretty yellow and ****

so i got the fog lights done

there not that white but yer

then i took the headlights out

and they were already arctic blue

WTF

why are they yellow?

they should be white?

may your pedal needs to be adjusted

that happened to mine

the pin on the pedal where you adjust came loose and just kept going lower so my clutch was activating as much

so check that your brake pedal and clutch pedal are in line with eachother

mine did the same

it got really hard to change

now its fine

but sometimes if i try to change from first to second when i floored it and it gets to about 6000 revs it crunches into gear

annoying if i try go

haha

but oh well

it had it when i bought it

but you can get em from wreckers

they always have em

you can get bonnets for like $100

and the tires are 215/40R17 kumho ku25

iv past the pits and everything like this

haha

absolutely nothing wrong with that car

except for the door trim loose and like sqeaking

the knock was my pod filter kncoking on the chassis

but now my front speakers arent working and the amp that powers em isnt getting power

so gotta find out whats wrong

and im planning on getting a supra soon aswell =]
