Went to toyota today. Guess what they do not have the mounting in stock. They have ordered it by air freight and should take a week to arrive. So Celica will be off hte streets for a week. Will take the opportunity to fit the front M's brake pads I just bought and maybe fit the 4-1 exhaust header which has been lying in the garage for months now.
I was thinking to put back the catalyst as well as in my opinion there is not much difference without it except for the noise level.
One good thing about the mount is that it only costs $42 and about the Toyota dealer is that he is stocking TRD parts as well.
Finally the Celica is back on the road. This is what it went through in the last month:
Replaced front and back engine mountings filled with polytherane
Installed 4-1 header with decat pipe to match the rest of the exhaust
Removed the Blitz SUS filter and installed the original air box witha new Toms' panel air filter
Removed the resonator pipes in the fender for the Air box and routed a flexible pipe to the front of the engine
Replaced right hand side drive shaft bellows
Replaced brake pads
Results:
A bit of vibration inside but not excessive, but magically all the wheel hopping disappeared :-)
Header made a good difference for to end power but I feel I have lost some torque at the mid range.
Overall I'm quite satisfied.
