Whose car was this originally, 'Berto?
PS: Looks great!
Has no more Celicas
this was scott project in michigan, over all the condition of the car is average to good. Closer to good.
Has several issues, it was a project car, so i knew some gremlins come with it.
Not will be a main project for me, but it will be converted to a daily driver, will swap a fully working engine to it, and in the end until i find another beater driver/ emergency car, will sell...
So ill do all the work, someone will get a nice car, and ill have fun, they will have fun...
of course that may be months before i do it. Or may not be done at all (the selling part).
is a turbo 3rd gen 3sge with st205 ecu and some custom work. It pulls hard, but it needs lot of work
-Brakes squeal due to bad rotor
-Engine has idle tick, really annoying
-Manifold has a crack
-Rust in rear suspension
-no clock spring
But over all its a good start.....

For the idle tick check the valve clearances, one may be out of spec. If it's by a large amount you need to pull the head and check the valve and valve seat for problems.

The real question here is, which car pulls harder- the new STi or the new Celica?

I thought about picking this up to replace Abby, but the 'project' part scared me. A LOT.
~bloodMoney
Really not a bad shell. And every project can be finished. Glad you did not. I would have been depressed.

so....... did you get the miata too?
looks good. It'll get the right treatment and be lots of fun.

Nice progress man, the engine setup doesn't look bad at all deffinetly looks like a fun project to play with and tweak. Look forward to seeing it come along!
*you can buy a clothe spray paint to refurb the seats, when I cleaned mine I masked off the centers once dried and sprayed the black trim and made the seats look brand new again, multiple light coats gets the job done perfectly. Just an idea to think about I guess, sears look great either way!

do they feel hard? thats how my carpet felt, and rubbing it started to make it fade again.
any how here is to more today, as i upgraded the rear speakers, and cleaned up the trunk, missing quite a few pieces, that maybe a junkyard dive will help...
I had some alpines laying around from previous dead cars..
had a chance to inspect both rear gutters and to my surprise they are awesome....
and had to vacuum the rear carpet, i wish it was spring at least so i can wash it...

did you scrape off the tar or is yours just that beige color?
tar is still there, is beige. Being a budget build, did not want to spend too much time in it.

Oh ok! Well if you want to shave an easy +/- 10 lbs go buy 5-10$ worth of dry ice, spread on tar then light taps with a regular hammer. It will come off real easy and break into small pieces.
i just wanted to share a few words with you guys !
!@#!@$@#%^%#$&%@$@@#!@#$#$#@$#$
ok back to work, never, ever, ever work on the rear susp without a torch. I aint going to buy one this time of night....

st205 powered ss3 coupe
i needed to get the rear spindles out and broke some bolts, and cannot get the control arms.
the rear susp frame, is rusting, and needs sandblasting...
i have to get the whole piece out, and will disassemble outside the car...

The long through bolt in each hub is tough to get out.
I used a torch, massive impacts, and a sledge. Then I bought new bolts (ruined from the sledge).
The through bolts on the subframe shouldn't be too difficult, worse case cut them, and new bolts again.
my st205 swapandour Beams swap
Today. I did the same thing with customer's car.
Yellow ST202 ,original super strut, but very poor maintenance.
All ball joint are loose, front wheel bearing NG, and all super strut component are loose.
Today just finished rear side. I replace all 4 arms with solid rubber bushing type.
Tomorrow I will replace wheel bearing and super strut components.
yeah, i already priced them, it was not something I was looking forward, but anyhow, since ill be driving this car for a while, poly bushings are going in...
