There is allot to update on the status of the car. I purchased it with no motor or trany installed, with nothing in the car either. Just recently stitch welded the chassis and was preparing to install a Celica 2ZZ engine.

I have decided to install a 1ZZ engine with the TRD supercharger in near future and the 6speed. Considering there were only 4 brand new superchargers left in Toyota wherehouse across the US I have already purchased one and am planning to run it with an AEM EMS.

I have included some pictures of the status of the car as an update. I have recently, actually today, gotten the car running and drove it in the parking lot. I will get some more pics and somewhat of a writeup soon.

Engine trany installed


driver side rail notched for 6spd


cross member installed for front trany mount


cross member front mount



passenger rail notched and boxed for clearanced for front of motor


tight fit for the water pump pully. you can see the spacer I made for the front motor mount. Also notice the notch in the upper section of the mount where the new position is.
