I got it back yesterday! it took a whole frekaing month, but i cant complain a misshift is a lot of damage. The parts list is huge.

Anyway it's running really good and i only had to pay $400 for a new clutch and flywheel. (they wouldn't put a TRD)

I got me new rims too

congrats man. i know how you feel. it's like driving your car for the first time again. just make sure to brake the new motor in. give it about 1k miles b4 testing it out.

BTW....every single time you shift at high rpm's, just make sure to keep you mind on shifting to the right gear ;)

I'll be getting my car back tomorrow too. it will be about a 1 1/2 years since i drove a "worry free" celica

this whole mess (http://www.newcelica.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=97895) with dealer not putting the car back together after doing the lift bolts.

i actualy authorized the mechanic to drive it home. i'm stupid. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons/34.gif

u gave permission for some1 else to drive your car?? that's a BIG :nono:

EDIT: from the dyno sheet on you sig, i see your car is a GT. so it won't be as bad as some1 else driving a GTS

http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons/11.gif GT? since when does GT hit lift at 6300 and rev up to 8300?

that dyno was actualy taken with timing chain 1-2 teeth off and vvti not working (full retard). hopefuly i'll get better results next time.

EDIT> it's a torque graph.

lol ....ma bad

i can't read the lettering in ur sig, so i didn't realize that's it's the torque graph :gap:

but i guess i should have seen the high rev limit. but then again, i can't even make out the #'s that well

:sadpace: i'm like a bat during daytime without my glasses/contacts
