Love the attention to details! Giving me a lot of good ideas for my 85 Celica

Thanks!! I'm trying to capture every gritty detail I can so everyone who watches can easily replicate it!

Keep the build going... I have the same car and would love to see how this turns out...

[@winguard96]

Absolutely! I bet you it'll be awesome, can't wait to get her running. Still a lot to get figured out, and I hope you'll continue to watch as I work out each problem! 😁

[@Beardchanics]

Nice progress, bring on the exciting stuff!

[@winguard96]

Thank you!!! Hope to keep up this pace, and finish the car before the end of the year! 😄

Ever check out the CarTuneNZ channel? Tons of esoteric 1/2/3UZ info. The guy works incredibly fast and knows the engines like his own reflection.

[@winguard96]

Oh totally! Kel's video formats are hard to watch, but there's great info in them. I have a playlist with so many of his videos saved. Helped a LOT when I was doing timing belt / oil pan stuff back in Episode 6!

You should put a glob of silicone over the ends of the exposed rivnuts.

[@winguard96]

For what reason? Corrosion protection? The rivnuts are zinc coated already, so that'll help some.

[@2Skinny]

@@winguard96 Exactly. It will also help prevent moisture from migrating into the truck area and around your battery.

Slow Car Salon will teach you the skills that a Zoom class won't. 🧐

@@winguard96 well, we’ll probably be going back online since my school had a spike in cases

[@tony0hndz]

Hi any new videos whatever happened to the Celica?

[@winguard96]

Sitting pretty in the garage, haven't had a chance to work on her as I deal with other priorities.

[@anthonylecona7731]

Would a 1uz from 96 ls400 work too?

[@winguard96]

Sure it would. Running a stock ECU and preparing for smog-readiness is more challenging, however. Thus if you use a 1996 Series 2 1UZ, run a standalone ECU and new harness. :)
