Nope.. thats is probably Tom's car though before he repainted it Electron-Pearl Blue though. There is only one other turbo Celica in town beside Tom and I's and thats Mikes which is a multiple of colors right now with a current CS bumper and hood mods going on.

I would but I'm currently trying to fight a small leak in my headgasket, ARP studs only stay for so long before you have to retorque them. I'll be doing a retorque this weekend and we'll hope all is good, but its been nearly 3.5+ years since the original stud and metal headgasket install, so at this point.. its a crap shoot if its going to work. If not, then I'm going to let it sit until Sibling Rivalry on August 4th, baby it up and back and then put her down for a new HG. Lets hope thats not the case though, I just feel its been to long now for a retorque to really help. We'll find out soon enough.
I finally got the turbo engine pulled apart today and surprizingly the rod and main bearings are in specs. The MHG that was in there looked really f*cked up from where somebody put coppercoat on it. You can see where it had runs in it and where it blew between #3 & #4 cyls.....The head is going to tachyon for rebuild/lapping and so is the block when im done tearing it down.
I also saw the clutch is almost done....
found a broken bolt holding on the PP....
NO Gaskets were used on this engine on the bottom end at all.
Cross your fingers for me !

well, you could see that somebody sprayed it and it looks like they just plopped it down on there right away instead of letting it dry.......you can just see it didnt mate well with the block.

Well, i gotta ship parts out for other Supramania users. Hopefully i will be able to get my block over to Tachyon to get it measured and cleaned so i can go from there.
