i think you just try to turn it, while the car is off obviously, and if theres some resistance to it then its in good condition. if it spins freely then you should replace it. i've read that on sf before and someone just mentioned that in a recent thread today i believe.
i remember seeing that car in a thread a while back. the thread was mainly body kit ideas photoshopped on to get different looks. this one had about three or four different designs on it. so not too sure thats what it really looks like. could be.
i say yes. that cheap, you can use parts off of it, and if its not what you thought it would be then you can always part it out. but that na intake mani with a 7mgte timing cover is weird, should be able to tell whether its turbo or not. any pics?
the grooves aren't deep, only surface. i just went by a toyota dealership and to get a part and i asked them about the noise while i was there. right away the guy helping me said the rotors were warped, at least the driver side. i'll probably get them turned this weekend if i can. thanks for the...
the marks are in a 360 pattern all the way around the rotor. the grinded area might be about a half inch wide at most. the pads i bought are bendix, they were the "top of the line" at advanced. i'm not sure if the rotors have ever been replaced, but doubt they have. maybe that'll help you help...
my dd is a '95 corolla and i replaced the brake pads about a month ago. every now and then there will be a pulsing grinding noise that the brakes make. its only on the drivers side i believe, you can see some lines on the rotor where the grinding is happening. i took the pads out and wiped them...
the stock turbo hits full boost pretty early, around 2200-2300rpms. so theres no lag really. as for the fuel system, if you want 450hp then you'll def have to get at least some 550cc and you will need a high flow fuel pump. as for boring the block, i don't think that adds any power to 7m's. as...
as long as you do everything right then yeah it'll hold that kinda power. definitely do a metal head gasket and arp head bolts or studs. and some arp rod bolts would be a good idea too.
awesome project you've got going. i'm sure with the celica being so much lighter you'll be able to take you dads muscle cars when its all done. what are your plans for mods or goals for the project?
does it smell like coolant in the inside of the car? the heater core goes out a lot in our cars and leaks all over the passenger side carpet. coolant would disappear in my car and it turned out to be the heater core. check the floor in your car to see if theres coolant.
i just talked to a guy at my shop and right when i mentioned the arp rod bolts he said they'd have to resize the rods once installed. so he knows what he's doing so i should be set.
all us macon and warner robins people def need to meet up. my car should be done sometime in may though. i got a ride in his first 2jz mk3, it was freakin awesome!
