MAKING STUFF . . . . . Build videos of projects or shop equipment that I need and "I think" I can build for less. New shop toys that I buy and other ideas from my shop. "Improvements" Well MODIFICATIONS. I can't say every modification is an improvement ....... but at least I tried. It's about having fun cutting/ grinding/welding. A lot of "seat of the pants" engineering and re-engineering ...(re-re-engineering) when it didn't go right the first (or second) time. 🎖🏅🏆 Just a Note: Read my video descriptions. They often contain information about the video. I say this because many channels have the same video description for every video.
Man this is getting better and better! I actually can’t wait till it’s all finished up! My celica ain’t going to be a v8 but seeing this makes me just wanna go work on it lol
Literally just took this repair to a Craftsman I picked up. Was stuck fwd gear. Put a punch through the selector and hammed lightly on the pin while pushing the punch. Old thing works now.
This video is very helpful! Thanks. I have a whining noise and I put a stethoscope next to the crankcase pulley and it sure sounds like it’s it. Never changed anything on that side of the engine for 226,000 miles now, but I’ve changed a lot of things on the other side, lol.
Outstanding! I have a similar sized boat and have been planning on a trailer step project for a while. Your design with the aluminum is very clever. I may have to reconsider my decision on using steel. Thanks!
I was able to get a craftsman rototiller working today that has been sitting for 20+ years. LOL. Similar model. And shifter frozen like yours. But I managed to get lucky and was able to get it moving by persistence of many efforts, and dragging the machine around the garage. LOL. But works well now. I was interested in the lubrication point, so you video helped.
Hey I loveee this idea! My constructive criticism is, I think you should flush the angles and recenter the tail lights to make it more seem less and cleaner looking
@228TY Thanks for commenting. 👍 All good ideas... Except the opening outside of the tail light and in the bumper. Serve a purpose, They are hot air outlets. Check this video out at 13:20 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qg1ThYnuhWU.htmlsi=rLAkd-MF_VkvEJ_W
Could tell us what exactly were your symptoms? My cruise control light blinks but won’t engage. My clutch does need to be adjusted and you have to press it all the way in to start it and shift gears
@@CR-te7hnThanks. Yes, eventually, it is a dod motor. DOD has been disabled, but the cam and lifters are still DOD. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hV9abDdQCb4.htmlsi=2d8JYS2ssNE15woY
@joshmanwaring3848 Yes, it is. 5.3 ls4. It has been quite the project. I have it to the point of mechanically complete. And have driven/tested it a little bit.
@Jeff-mv5sz Yes, have lots of (time to kill 🤣) ,tools, equipment, and patience. Also, video it so we can see your ideas progress. All of the tips I can give are here 👉 ru-vid.com/group/PLHUWidjJ9X6T26LVBPT5fL7DovFXzloVb&si=pVsuQshpb2hs-s_s
@oscarwrodriguez7129 Welcome.... It is a modern Celica, a 2001😂. I have slightly modified it from its stock form. Check out my Celica GT-SS playlist for more if you are interested. Thanks for commenting. Please share so more people will know about this...
Just came across your build after seeing your Amazon review of a pressurized coolant reservoir that I just ordered for my 3.5 EcoBoost swapped Mustang. This is so relatable haha. So much of the work on stuff like this is little things. I had a few hours to work on my car yesterday and I never got around to the larger mechanical repairs that I need to get down. Pretty much all of that time was taken up by rerouting/cleaning up wiring and trying to figure out where I could fit components that I'm trying to move out of the engine bay. It's always a struggle with these things lol
@DCGarage Welcome to the channel, and thanks for commenting. I just subscribed to your channel. Yeah, the side quests always take more time than expected. I'm putting tires on my little utility trailer, and it looks like that's about all I will get accomplished today.
Jesus Christ!!!! I have seen some incredible builds and this is definitely one of them. I own 2 Celicas myself and wondered what a Celica with a v6 or v8 would perform like, drive, etc. You definitely answered my thoughts. Have you done any pulls on it?
@@TSRGarage I tried to tie it into the brake light switch and it didn't work and it's hard to get to. I found the AUX pin and it was much simpler. Nice not to have to shift and manually apply my controller at the same time lol
Got a chance to ride in this beast a couple weeks ago before the joystick install. I won't say it was fast, but I think I left my liver somewhere in what used to be the back seat.
@azzawozza3053 I have no idea🤷♂️.Never owned a car new enough to have one from the factory. L o l. A friend of mine drives a truck that has one, and he told me there isn't a switch to turn it off. That's gotta be annoying.
