Did Dennis put the Z-wheels on his Celica now?

His Bluebird looks way to cool on 14" black steelies to put them on that car, so on the Celica they went

projectrollas: it's a TE27 spoiler, bought on ebay

cuu;looking good. Drop a 4age in while you are at it ?

[The Doctor]

Stripped the interior out today, and started removing the cage.




Started removing fluids and surroundings from the engine, so it can come out for the welder (if needed, but engine needs to come out anyway).



Friday, the car is picked up to go to the guy who's gonna weld it for me. If it returns is time to put on the flares and spoiler and such. Sfter that it's paint time ;D


And 1 good weather bonus point today was this:



That's my stock driveshaft (from the K40 gearbox) in the T50 which is going to sit behind the 2T-G. It's a direct fit 8-)
Boxes are the same length, i've got a subframe for a 2T-G, so everything should swap in easily ;D

[robokill]

2tg? did I miss anything ?

[The Doctor]

no, not really, i'm just going the 2T-G route

[banpei]

I think a 2T-G suits your car better than a 4A-GE.

[The Doctor]

it not only suits better, it fits better.
I've got EVERYTHING to drop in a 2T-G without any problems.
No welding, no drilling, no modifying things.

I need to do some wiring, but i also need to do that on a 4A-GE (and a LOT more). 4A-GE mounts aren't the same, gearbox is different, my driveshaft WON'T fit a 4A-GE T50 etc. etc. etc.

But the car wil not drive as nice. The 2TG is a very heavy engine compared to the 4AGE.

[The Doctor]

sometimes you have to make compromises

[The Doctor]

got her stripped today, it's gone to the welder, when it's back i'm chopping away the sound deadening en make her ready for a new layer of paint ;D
