Well that sounds like an expensive mistake. but then again maybe owning a celica and doing anything to it is an expensive mistake in and of itself. hahaha. *sad*

Bruised knuckles are always included in the cost. Well, for me anyway.

yup. If you don't pay in cash, you pay in blood. sometimes both. lol

Either is gas or azz, no free rides...

anyways, took out the condenser, it was a pain in the ass, no visible metal strips, but im putting a new one any ways...



the most difficult task was to remove all ac lines. forgot how difficult it was to maneuver around the 2GR.




Installed the new condenser, not happy with fitment



hate aftermarket parts....



poor clearance



Most likely will use the OEM brackets, as they seem to have more clearance.

Not paying 300 usd for OEM condenser on a 20 yo car...

Next is to flush the lines one by one, they have debris, and oil.....

Booo aftermarket fitment.

aftermarket is cheaper. but its got its cons, on another note, i did not realize the expansion valve is inside the cabin, well....

that only means i have to take it out.... crap... more to do for a stupid mistake.....

I see the words burnt and fire but not the burnout update I was hoping for.
that sucks about the damn contractor. Seemed like they weren't gonna do a good job anyways so better to do that then let them finish.

Or put a lip on the front of the car with the TRD spoiler on the rear, then you can be business in the front and party in the back just like the mullet you had back in the 80's.

Like, "Honey can you bring me another pair of underwear" misfire OR like, turning down the radio because what you felt/ heard was concerning type misfire?
Time to sell the 2GR and swap a BEAMS.

not the kind of bump I wanted.... frown.gif
you were suppose to say serious turbo powa, not serious misfire.... guess it's time to go from BEAMS --> 2gr ---> 1uz. It's the only logical step.
