I'm livingg in a country where my car is one of four! Shipped from the USA.
I need to order all parts from Japan. It takes around 3 weeks to arrive.

I don

[MAD_D]

I took the car in yasterday to fix the sound system first, to get that out the way.
hear is a list of what is gonna be fitted:

Head Unit: Sony Xplod , CDX-GT350
Active cross over: Radio shake (I can't remember what it's called :-p)
Front: Boston Acostics, FS60 6.5

[Boosted2.0]

Sounds like fun. Good luck with the project.

I'm headding to the sound shop now ... I will be drawing a new wiring diagram and will post it later

[00gtsGETemHIGH]

in bahRAIN it never RAINs? haha that's funny. but wow, this is turning into a detailed journal with pics. looks good and keep us updated.

[drewd]

cool man, looks like this project is going to come together nice.

[LightningRod]

Good luck and have fun!

[vegeta4ss]

for a first system, you picked some good components and subs. What is the plan with the 2 8"s and the 1 10". Custom box?

since you have so many details, you should start your own celica blog. If I had taken careful notes when I started modding on my car, I would have one huge blog for others to take advantage of. Its just a thought.


Good luck w/ your project. You should probably put some performance stuff on next, before this post gets moved to Audio/Electrical...lol

[jayspeedy24]

since you have a gts it has to use premium gas..so im not sure if they provide it or you have to boost it up..but make sure you dont use low grade bc you'll ruin your engine and it would suck to lose a car thats rare in your country.

[ekindbest]

yea good luck with the project.....

I made a costum box for the two 8"s and the 10" but Im not gonna have them all playing at the same time !!! I'm fitting a switch so I can pick between the two 8"s or the 10". I can still play them all (If I want to)

do u work for kinway motorsport ?? Coz I think I wanna go for the C-One clutch Kit with the Flywheel ... I already e-mailed some one but I would like to know if this cluch kit is any good ???

[MAD_D]

ok ... yasterday , they made the box for the subs ...

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/2771/dscf4682jq9.jpg

Then we made wholes in the front and the back!! The front is where the speakers are going to sit. The back ones are basically windows, you would be able to see inside the box from the back!!

We are going to have neon lights in side the box

[LightningRod]

Nice.

No, i dont work for ken(Kinway motorsport). I just help him advertise because he has taken care of me in the past.

C-one clutch kit is pricey. But I haven't ever heard anything bad about c-one and they make a lot of parts. Most people around here prefer the Southbend or RPS clutch and Fidanza flywheel. Since you are overseas, it might end up being easier on you if you just bought thru Kinway, or some other overseas company.

Choosing a good clutch will come from you making a good plan for your car and picking a clutch based on that plan. Now that most of the good parts are out, or coming soon for the celi more people can actually stick to their plans rather than making constant revisions to "the big picture"

[MAD_D]

nearlly done :-D

I think 2 more days and it will be done ...

http://img347.imageshack.us/img347/4391/dscf4715de0.jpg

I covered all wires with tape so they don't make any noise and I got a foum tape thingy and stuck it over any plastic and hard things so they dont ratel ...

[MAD_D]

here is the new wirring ... I have a switch for all amps so I can switch on/off any I'm not using ... that means I can use the two 8" or the 10" or all of them togather ...

I am getting two tsunami Caps 2.0 farad but can't afford putting any more money into the sound system now .. will get them soon tho .. I already got space made for them

Looks good. You guys using 3/4" MDF?

[celico_man]

wow, looks like you'll be having a lot of fun with your car. Keep it up man.

[lpphreakx06]

Looks like a lot of work, nice job.

[MAD_D]

Looks good. You guys using 3/4" MDF?

they are using 18 mm MDF for the box, 16 mm for the flooring. 10 mm in other places ... the thing is really heavy I think :-(

[MAD_D]

we finished makking all the wood work.

paintted the amp box silver from the in side but it tured **** !!! I hate it ... so I will need to get new paint tomorow or maybe I will get some pro painter to do it coz I'm bad at it :-p

I don't know but I started not likking the whole design :-( hope it goes better.

[Boosted2.0]

MDF sucks up water based paints like nobodys buisiness - use an oil based primer first and then try again.

[MAD_D]

I will do that and hope for the best.

I'm running out of money :-(

[MAD_D]

nearlly done .... just the last tuches

this is the paint job I'v done. As u can see it is **** :-p

I just don't have capacitors !!! Can that coz it (coz I don't think so) ?

the shop owner needs to replace the amp for me coz they did the wirring , not my fault :-p

I'll keep u postted

[vegeta4ss]

damn. You blew an amp as soon as you powered on? What kind of amps are you using?

[MAD_D]

I have been looking into the clutch flaywheel combo from southbend. I phoned and they siad they will let me know how much it would cost for the shipping.

but I got the prices for the Hass and the C2Power turbo kits ...

Hass : ~ 4400 US Dollars (with shipping)
C2Power : ~ 3600 US Dollars (with shipping)

I know that you get the Hass kit with the following :

Garrett GT28RS Dual BB Turbo, Turbo Manifold, Downpipe, High Flow Cat, Exhaust, 380cc Factory Style Pencil Injectors, Turbo Coolant Feed/Return Line and Fittings, Turbo Oil Feed/Return Line and Fittings, 2"-2.5" Intercooler Piping, Air to Air Intercooler, Couplers and Reducers, T-Bolt Clamps, Blow Off Valve, Air Filter and MAF, Vacuum Line and Fittings, VDO Boost Gauge, Greddy E-Manag, Various Fasteners, Install Items Etc

and the c2 power with the following :

Garrett GT28RS dual ball bearing turbo preset at 0.4 bar, medium sized intercooler, greddy emanage, harness, with preloaded map, polished stainless steel piping, tubular manifold ,hoses, water and oil lines to turbo and out
gaskets, oil line flange, Sard racing R2D2 Blow off valve and fitting (BOV), Apexi power intake and adapter

still learning about bouth kits and would like to know if I should look into other kit or other foced induction like S/C or even nitros !!!

Go Haas with the Hydra EMS or Power FC. Best option.

[Rico6983]

Man, that's all going to look nice. You must have alot of money to just throw into your car like that...... :thumbup:

[MAD_D]

what is the best Hydra EMS or Power FC ? and how much you think I would need to pay extra ???

[MAD_D]

Man, that's all going to look nice. You must have alot of money to just throw into your car like that...... :thumbup:

don't really have alot of money ... but I have been saving up for a while for the sound system ... and I will do the same with the turbo kit. but I think I would need to save up for a year :-p and maybe get a loan !!!

for now I wil keep on adding a part at a time ... I don't care if this turned out into a 2 - 3 year project ... as long as I'm hav'n fun and I'm doing it right.

as I said before I will be changging the clutch and flywheel, then the brake rotors and pads then save up for the turbo kit ... I

[Boosted2.0]

Its hard to say the Hydra is relatively new but has produced great results on many other cars. the Power FC is proven over time and less expensive, but has less options you might want if you plan on drag racing.

[LightningRod]

MAD_D, props for all the DIY. I wish I had the time to do all that.

[Boosted2.0]

Hey - how did the oil based primer work out for you?

will post photos later

[Ryude]

You are an inspiration! Keep us updated please, I'm enjoying the pics and journal :P

[MAD_D]

I don't think southbend really likes me !! they still didn't get back to me about the clutch fly wheel combo ...

[MAD_D]

where can I get the RPS clutch and flywheel ?? and is it good ...

another thing is would it be a good idea to get :

- New fly wheel bolts (stock)
- New Release bearing (stock)
- Direct Clutch Line (TRD)

and what is a push rod ? and why some ppl get extended push rod ?

[vegeta4ss]

RPS is a good combo as well, I'd put them up at the top of the list with Southbend.

Get the ARP flywheel bolts, its not a good idea to reuse the stock ones(if they would even go back in)

Always change throwout bearing while your in there, and the clutch line helps your pedal feel not to be so spoungey. The clutch line is debateable whether it actually helps or is a purely aesthetic mod.

Extended pushrods are used when your clutch is having trouble fully disengaging. It adds that little extra bit which helps the disengagement process. This is about all i know about them tho, so maybe someone can step in and provide more details here

MVP does the RPs clutch and flywheel ...

you said I should use ARP flywheel bolts !! do I have to ? or I can use NEW stock bolts (I mean go and buy new bolts from toyota)

if I have to use ARP , where can I get them on the net ? coz I don't know much about them ....

thanxxx for the help

[MAD_D]

ok .... now I need help choosing what clutch !!

it is from MPV (http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateE.asp?SubFolderID=279&SearchYN=N)

1- 'RPS Max Clutch with 6 Puck Sprung Disc for 2000+ Celica GT/GTS
2- 'RPS Max Clutch with Street Disc for 2000+ Celica GT/GTS
3- 'RPS Sport Clutch with 6 Puck Sprung Disc for 2000+ Celica GT/GTS
4- 'RPS Sport Clutch with Street Disc for 2000+ Celica GT/GTS

My car will be a turbo car but I will not be takking it to the extream ... I want a good clutch that is not a apain in the ass to drive ...

thanxx

[Boosted2.0]

I would go with new stock Toyota bolts. No-one I am aware of at any power level has ever had a problem if they used NEW stock bolts with their flywheel install.

[CEGONAX-MAN]

Awesom, congrat's

[MAD_D]

finaly talked to Andy from southbend ... he advised me to get the following:

SS Street Series, TZ Series at $425
Fidinza flywheel at $310

so all togather should come up $735 then add another $100 for shipping.

I like this more than RPS, as it should cost me $200 less

BUT ...

is the RPS flywheel better than the fidinza ???

[Ryude]

Flywheels are flywheels, there are only 2 things you have to consider. You have to decide if you want an aluminum or chromoly flywheel. Aluminum is going to be lighter, meaning better acceleration, but the Chromoly will be alot more durable and can be resurfaced in the future.

I chose the fidanza, weighs 7.5lbs. I believe the RPS flywheel weighs 9.5lbs. You might want to check on that though.

[MAD_D]

I thought I can get the Replacement Steel Friction Insert for the fidanza flywheel !!

ulrtarev (http://www.ultrarev.com/Fidanza_Replacement_Steel_Friction_Insert_for_Toyo ta_Celica_1.8L_2000_2005_%28GTS_2ZZGE_6_Speed%29-p39773.html) sell them for $45

would that not be a better slotion for resurfacing ??

thanxx for the help

[Ryude]

I believe Fidanza is the only brand that offers that solution, which is why I went with Fidanza. Other aluminum flywheels have to be replaced.

[TRDCeli808]

very nice project you got here. great progress too.

[Phatsprinter]

WOW A lot of work! It will be fun when done. Is there any warrenty on their work?

[Boosted2.0]

You can get replacement insterts for the RPS as well. The RPS also has the added benefit of never warping due to the segmented design. The center section on the Fidanza tends to warp if the clutch ever gets really hot.

so u are saying I should go for RPS ???

coz I thought they are better ... becuase of the segmented design. but it is heavier ...

[Ryude]

Well, I would go with RPS after knowing that. I don't think the weight difference is big enough to sway torwards Fidanza. But to be fair, I have never heard of a Fidanza flywheel warping :P

Boosted knows alot, listen to him.

All I can tell you is that if it were my car I'd choose the RPS.

[MAD_D]

ok I will go for RPS flywheel ...

what about the clutch ... Southbend or RPS ???

I would say southbend is better from what I heard and read about it but you should know better ... plzzzz advice me as I want to have the best setup :-D

thanxxx alot ppl

[Ryude]

I have heard good things about both the RPS and Southbend clutch. Anything is better than stock :P

[vegeta4ss]

im going with the RPS and southbend combo myself. I should be ordering in the next month or so.

thats my reccomendation.

Depends on your application and power level - both companies have many options to choose from. I would advise calling andy at southbend (Andy specifically) and see if he can advise you on whats best based on your intended useage and power level.

[BuRn1nG]

ive had the rps flywheel and street stage 2 clutch for 5 months now and i got to say they are the best combination. The flywheel doesnt feel too light or too heavy, its balanced. the flywheel also has a good design.the clutch is VERY strong and and grabs quick. I highly recommend getting the RPS flywheel and clutch as a combo, you wont regret it.

[MAD_D]

phoned Andy at Southbend last week and he advised me to get the

SS Street Series, TZ Series

but one thing I just found out that I'm not to happy with is that Southbend uses Exedy !!! I thought they made there own ...

[vegeta4ss]

yeah this is new news to me as well. I guess it is still a good clutch, everyone has good feedback about it.

[Ryude]

Exedy is a great clutch, don't get it confused with the Exedy ripoffs on eBay. Also, Exedy makes an OEM replacement which is why some people think Exedy sucks...It's exactly the same as stock!

[MAD_D]

sorry its been a while ... I was a bit bz with things ,,, anyways, still din't order the clutch and fly wheel ... I just want to pay my cridit card bill first then buy the stuff ...

I ordered some stuff and receved them yasterday ... I will take photos of them and post them here ...

got new front and back brake pads, engine cover (under the car) all three pices, all the clips, screws and mountings for the under panel ... flywheel bolts and fly wheel pins ...

I fixed the front brake pads yasterday ... and I will do the back today, I will take detailed photos of how I'm doing it ... so maybe I do something wrong and you would let me know ...

thanxxx

[MAD_D]

opss ...

I think they send me somthing wrong ...

does any one now how many flywheel bolts I should get ??? I ordered a full sit from toyota and they sent me only five ,,, I thought they should be at least 8 !!!

am I right ???

Ummm, yeah... should be 8. :ugh:

[timm3r]

you should have gotten arp bolts from monkeywrenchracing. yes all 8 bolts should be the same

[MAD_D]

thanxx ppl ... I wound need to order that and wait another three weeks !! ******* ...

I will let you know what happens

thanxxx again

[vegeta4ss]

so what are the upcoming plans for the celly MAD_D?

Has that system turned your interior into a vibration and rattle nightmare yet? I know my subs did that to mine until I put down some second skin and lined the panels with felt padding.

[MAD_D]

hey ... the system turned out great !! I know I didn't keep u updated ... sorry

anyways ... I'm running 2 8" and a 10" ( I can switch between them) ... I don't play my music super laud so I guess that

as you can see there is this red stuff in the thread , that is the sealler ...
as I have been told by the good ppl on this forum , you can not reuse the bolts becuase of this seal thingy ...

anyways

the part number is 90910-02103
and you'll need 8 of them

and it's red :-D

http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/5772/dscf4778ya0.jpg

anyways , I hade some small problems ...

1. the cars stock earth cable is short / I made a temporary extention
2. the batterys hight is less than the old one , the battery holder wont hold the battery in place / cut a 16 mm piec of wood and put it under the battery to make it higher ....

I'm sleepy ,,, I'm talking rubish ... I'll come on 2moro and post the rest sorry ,,,

:-p

[vegeta4ss]

nice. Still making good progress.

[kortik]

what about C-one chromoly type R flywheel should be lighter that RPS and its made of chromoly but if you already boguth RPS then ignore my post.

[MAD_D]

I think I lot of know that I hade some problems with my car

[Boosted2.0]

I would wait to see the full extent of repairs needed before you spend money on more mods. If you over-revved chances are good that you have some bent exhaust valves

[02celica]

thats an awesome sound system dude how much for it all!?!

[LightningRod]

Car's coming along nicely, but like Boosted2.0 says, keep up with the maintenance on your car before you throw in more mods.

[MAD_D]

I got the car back from Toyota 2day ... they did a full INSP , they said I only have to change the pump and the drive belt ( not the timming chain ). it sounds a bit crazy but they said its because I shut down the engine as soon as it happened ( with in 5 Sec)...

anyways for now I will change the pump and the belt then get a full INSP and hope everything is ok ....

I will get the MWR main and rob bearings to becuase every1 said I should ...

can some one tell me what are they ???? are they the bearings that hold the camshafts >>> ????

thank you

Main bearings go between crankshaft and block. Rod bearings go between connecting rods and crankshaft

[MAD_D]

Main bearings go between crankshaft and block. Rod bearings go between connecting rods and crankshaft

so that means I would need to take the engine appart if I was to change them ?

Yes, but since your oil pump blew its a good idea to tear down and check for damage anyways.

[elcelicagts]

lol. you one cool homie from the Bahrain!

everythings comming along nice. i really like that flywheel bolt's picture!

good luck, with repairs.

not sure if turbo is best option for you situation though, because of lack of tuners......

maybe you should look into charging or nitrous. i would suggest 50 shot or 75 shot.
and bolt on as much as is possible. or charge, maybe get the blitz since its pretty much plug and play.

but since you got an 2000 gts you could also greddy charge and use the pfc with some of the maps on this site.

either way audio system looks nice.

this is what my friend here told me ... I should SC becuase its kinda bolt on and its more Daily car material ....

TRD is owned by Toyota Motor Corp. and their racing history is over 50 years already and they are still very strong in Japan. I think TRD know what we need for our Toyota (performance and safety). Most aftermarket product do not care our Toyota cars because they will not need to take any responsbility if our Toyota get into an accident by using their product, but TRD DOES CARE because our cars is made by Toyota and TRD is 100% under Toyota. I know we modify our cars because we want our cars go faster and faster but dont forget that our life is more important than our speed, so safety always goes first. Our company choosed to become an official TRD dealer because we know TRD has the best quality and their products are the most safest.

[QUOTE=MAD_D] BAD NEWS ...

I ggot my car home 2day on a wentch ... Toyota left everything in the boot all the things they took appart ...

in the stuff I found a smashed oil pump, broken into pieces and craked pump case thingy ...

anyways ... I found another Unpleasant thing

Unorthodox racing pulley

[kabal57]

Did you buy the car used? Is toyota paying the warranty work or is that coming out of your pocket? I know some ppl here had warranties voided because of pulleys, I was just wondering if that was the case for you.

He imported it to Bahrain dude - pretty sure its considered a grey market car - warranty is not even remotely possible in that case.

is that sports or max ? when i bought the max the pressure plate was black

[GrimIndustries]

I love my RPS Street Max!

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

Uhhmm... clutch break in is typically 500 - 750 miles of light driving, as in no hard launches, don't rev it past 4000 rpms, things like that. Basically, just baby the car for the first 500 miles

[kortik]

I have the same and its a max=blue sprots=black

[MAD_D]

mine should be a max !!! I got it from MWR

[MAD_D]

205/55 won't affect the car much other than the ride depending on the tire you get.

[MAD_D]

thank you ...

I bought a Bridestone Potenza GIII ( 205/55R16 89V )

they feel good and look good to

[MAD_D]

I have been struggling with time here , got a new job and I don

[youngxlos]

dont get a dc header, wait for PPE to finish the header.
dc header was dyno proven to lose power

[vegeta4ss]

x2, I run one currently. At first I thought it was faster, but it was just a little louder. As time went on I could feel areas where power wasn't like it used to be. I cannot wait to get it out of there for even a ported header or this PPE

[MAD_D]

just reilised ...

MWR kit comes with , custom Crower billet chromoly rods and Darton Sleeves.

so I wouldn't need to rods and I have to make sure soem one can do the sleav'n.

[Ryude]

You asked how much horsepower to expect, and that's a tricky question. It's really hard to predict the power a build will make. But if I had to take a guess, I would say around 300 whp. Which should be more than you'll ever need.

[MAD_D]

its been neear enough a year of me be'n on and off the project ...

anyways , this is the latest news , I bought a 2008 MX5 for my wife but offcourse I would be driving it also ... so a second car problem is out the way.

I was going with the basic set up and a Bllitz SC ! but I think its just not enough for me ... I want more

My goal is 300 - 350 HP

I 'm going for the MWR turbo kit with :
mahle pistons
Rods
Rod bearing
main bearing
valves
valve springs
studs
oil pump
fule pump
boost control
gages

koni suspention
sway bars

koyo radiator + hose kit
TRD 160 thermostat

stop tech brake kit ... I have alrady ordered it form JSC speed.

will ordering the rest of stuff from MWR as soon as they replay to me

I stripped the sound system down and will be redoing it ...

I don't know if I would have enough money for some apearance mods ! at laset re-do the seats ...

[BossmanGT]

I like the set up man. Keep it up!
