no prob - with better suspension that should help you out a lot

>

Thanks Mario!

Joe was at about 50% so not pushing too hard ... we didn't want to completely leave you behind

I was pleased with the alltrac's performance given the fact the suspension is old & worn & original to the car.
the only things we have to help around corners is a Torsen LSD in the rear + the Falken Azenis

Next time we'll have a completely redone suspension - GAB 4 way adjustable struts, Jspeed springs, whiteline RSB & new bushings .. should make the handling a bit better

Havoc, sorry to hear about your tranny, but glad you're getting it all fixed up.

If ya'll are looking to do a really big meet, Kansas would be a great place ... Heartland Park in Topeka is where the MR2's/Elises/Alltracs used to meet in past years. they have a drag strip & a nice road course so there would be events for everyone. maybe it could be an all gen Celica get together?

the REAL SA car meet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TT, GT, SUPRA

post the damned video!

no death i wasn't talking about you calling me an ashole when i drove by havok with my siren on he was shaking his head calling me an ashole lol

Sh*t - is it such that you can still drive but have no 5th or is it like the whole tranny is dead? Reason being is cause I'm getting an E153, Rear Mount, Axle Carrier and Axles from an SS-III clip here in town really cheap but it's not like I can rush the guy. As far as I know the clip is still not stripped down and when you're swapping that's not something you wanna do fast - best to take your time and label/photgraph everything you can. I know the guy doing the swap and if I know him at all it'll be at least a month before my parts are ready to go.
If you don't need it cause you're in a bind I still know one person who needs my old tranny anyway so no big deal any way you look at it.

What I wanna know is how cars like mine and especially Itchy's can drive around swapped on S54 and beating the hell out of it for years and yours takes a dump on a basically stock 5S?

Fixed.
No offense to the Poopra but untill they shed the travesty that is the 7M they remain Poopra's. I wonder if that's anyone Alex knows? I swear that boy knows every Poopra [And no longer Poopra] in Texas. 1JZ's everywhere.

>
Just so you know - It was the much younger people in my car that I left for. Despite the fact I'd been up since 6am, sunburnt, hot and clutch leg mutiny I was ready to stick around and/or head for SA

F*ck ya'll - I'm from Texas!

Sux - I can't see the video cause I just got a new comp and the firewall won't let me DL flash player but with Snap at the controls I have full confidence it was extremely well made. Our video is bouncy due to no car stand for the camera but we all went up a steep steep hill at one point and it [Appears] that Lisa couldn't bring the camera back up due to the G's we were pulling. It's great vid of Snap and Zero. As soon as Photobucket let's me finish the DL's I'll get them right up. Raw shaky footage but cool nonetheless.

Snap - can I get the raw footage and the vid you made for Houston Toyota Club's records? You'll get full ownership/props of course.

nice vid. I don't any "legal" ones but I'd share if I could! aha.

It kind of is for D-Man - he was the most psyched out of all the Houston crew and was the only one of us that didn't at least make it there.
D-man, Look at it this way tho - only Alex and I we're able to make the run in the hills out of the entire Houston Crew.

BTW - Houston/Lufkin/Victoria/and hell whoever else would want one - I got HTC stickers in red [of course - I'm out of the rest] if anybody wants one. Hell - Alex and I are HTC OG's - we'll give them to whoever we want. They get you 20% off parts at Joe Myer's and Don McGill Katy BTW.

Texas highways are 70mph Yellow speed limit signs are "suggested" but the 70mph stands in the absense of slower white speedlimit signs.
Snaps a mod - he's not gonna break the rules - trust me.

I cant drive around without 5th. I drive way to much just from work and back, it was bad enough driving it home. But id do more damage then just going ahead and fixing it. Its going to suck every bit of cash i have out of me but it will be finished 2mrw. And i can tell you exactly why it crapped out even tho its just a 5s.

1, people that drove it before me suck and dont know how to drive a standard
2, it has 222,000 miles on it. Give it some credit. I checked out all the reports that i had when i bought the car and i carfaxed it before i bought. Its never had any tranny work done to it.

>
Yeah, i am the happy-go-lucky type. Besides, i'd have liked everyone to take a look at my car before it undergoes a few changes. Oh well, ya'lls loss. (too bad that you didnt get to see the crapyest car that couldn't make it )

HTC stickers? I'll be haveing one. i'll put an HTC on one side, and 6gc.net on the other

And Texas hwy laws are pretty insane, hell, they've been known to be higher than 70 before. This is us facing a gas shortage problem But we dont have to follow the rules of the other states. We're still the only state that demands the respect of a country (and the only state allowed to declare ourselfs our own country...again...)

Texas... FTMFW.

No - not saying anything against it at all. 222,000 is a respectable amount of time for any tranny to last and I'm sure the uphills on the way to Austin took a few more Houston miles out of her. Your gonna be lovin a new tranny anyway. Better get yourself to my house and pick up that other poly mount while you can for the rear since it will be out anyway - no excuse not to upgrade it [especially when I'm not asking anything for it]

hah! well i have to wait till the thing gets back to me first. But i think a trip to your place to hang out is long over due anyways. i got to get that Cover for under my CD player anyways.

>
Maybe not since we got you 90% fixed up - there were a couple of cars there with body damage worse than what you got. Plus we needed the representative Vert.
1 5th gen GT4
1 Vert
1 Coupe
and a buttload of HB's


BTW - I got plenty of stickers - you can have two.

>
Yup - I know right where that is - I'll put it with the mount. You better get it to your mech tho before he buttons it up - you know how much of a B it is otherwise [Pretty much why it's not yet on my car]. Wanna stop by on the way home tonight?

That guy wouldnt put it on. I just called and he gave me some BS about Warrenty and it not being a part he ordered and (what cought my attention) was that if he did put it on he wouldnt warrenty any of the work he did. So nah that will be some im doing myself. And to be honest if you want to just give it to me, ill take it and just do it when i do my shocks,Springs and CVs since ill be under the car and now that i know how to get that stupid mount in and out it shouldnt be a problem. Remember, we had so much trouble because we didnt life the engine up by the Oil Pan thus not getting it high enough to get the mount out. it should be a walk in the park the next time around. and to add on to it, i have a new front mount finally that needs to be put on so while im under there i might as well just do the inserts too

Did you ever get with Kirk? I need to order a set and split it with you.

nah i hadnt yet. but i check not to long ago and he had updated the Thread and said he was still doing them, for the same price. let me catch my breath after this tranny stuff and ill go in halfs with yah.

Cool cool - I'm in no rush. i gotta find the poly sway mounts and endlink bushing first. plus I have zero wheelhop as is and my motor moves not a bit

WOW! Looks like a yall had a great meet! Great turn out. Great Video. Austin is the BEST.... I miss the heck out of it...sigh

Good Job!

>
Oh yeah duh! That's why you didn't reply to my invitation - you already did two meet threads back huh? Sorry to keep buggin ya.

>

I get a bigger discount at Champions Toyota as well. I'm not sure if it covers non-Supra parts, but hey, it's worth a shot.

Thanks guys for all the comments.
