i'm too cheap, i just got a regular Gates belt because it came with the idler and tensioner for like 40 bux
Non-interference engines FTW!

good news! I finished putting on the crank pulley and belts and topped her up the coolant and she runs without leaking!
bad news is i might need a new battery.....

now i just gotta bolt on the splash guards and put the headlights and bumper back on and she'll be back to driving condition!

It's so good to hear her voice again =D

Sweet, congrats man.

so here's a crappy picture of when i was done putting everything in.


So after i was done everything (minus the headlights and bumper) since i parked it over snow, the snow melted and refroze and created a nice layer of ice under each drive tire so i whipped out a couple a big pots of boiling water but that didn't really work, so i shoveled behind the car to get more back and forth room which didn't even benefit me since when i tried it got loose and i somehow ended up with the car turned around but in the driveway, so whatever, i'm happy!

The aftermath of 2-3 hours of trying to get out

so she's out and waiting for her bumper and headlights, then i gotta go get it re-registered and she'll be back on the road!

put the bumper and headlights back on last night and couldn't resist so i took her for an illegal unregistered spin around the block (sorry officers -_-) and man is she quick.....at least compared to the celica

not sure what i'm doing with the 323, thinking about swapping both engines so i can have 2 running cars =D

Hey Evo I know this is an old picture but I like the custom "Melted" part of the bumper in this picture!!!

not sure where your talking about since i only had this car for probably about 36 hours before it was ripped apart and scrapped XD

I know the previous owner of that car very well!! It was Colin Etsell a very good friend of mine!!!! The mark that I am talkin about is in the bottom left hand corner of that photo I reposted!! He had melted the bumper with a spot light right after he did that motor swap!!

oh is that what it was, again i had the car for a very short period of time so i never actually really looked at the car itself, just ripped the motor out and the parts i wanted from it and then it was taken from me but i got most of what i wanted off of it
and yeah i remember colin, great guy, put up with me texting him questions like 2 months after buying it from him XD

Haha yeah he's a good guy!! I have bugged him alot since I got this project!! I will probably do alot more of it too since its not done yet!!

this project? which project? i've never heard of it!
you have to make a worklog with pictures now =D

Oh I have pictures but have been to lazy to start a work log!! I guess I should though!! Oh an I guess my car is the fourth car in Calgary to have the raised spoiler(from what I have seen on this forum)!!

Make that worlklog Tav! Show off that awesome car you've got and that rare body kit.

The rare body kit that I can't find anywhere and which I would trade for stock hahaha

Rare is rare man. If you're willing to pay to paint I'm sure you can find a good quality stock rear and front bumper around and here, you could cover the cost with the body kit easily.
