What did they do in 2010? — Toyota Corolla Levin, 2.0 liter, 1996
I want to make a reservation right away, I'm not a fan of writing any results of the year. What was was. Only the best is ahead!
This post will be another entry in the annals of my baby's life.
Now he is in the garage. Yes, still! Imagine, it turns out the swap happens for a long time. Which month did we go with him? It seems the third or fourth? We will be born at the right time. I know this, as well as anyone else bearing their offspring. My head is pregnant with ideas and they will be implemented next year.
So, where did we start? From rolling the car, of course. Leva cheerfully went to winter sprints last mega-cold winter. we started up and overcame snowdrifts without any problems. Sometimes they didn’t obey and drove sideways in the city in corners ... It was sometimes scary, but I always managed to catch the baby so as not to mess up. And then he is such a naughty!) In the
hot summer I suffered in it with practically no air conditioning ... Traveling to the Crimea finally proved to me that my car and our love with him can overcome any difficulties and drive on almost any roads.
By autumn, he said that he was very ill ... I thought about 7A ... But the earth is not without cheerful people.
- Yes, what are you soaring about? Install 3sge and don't suffer! - here it is the good advice of a friend of the urologist. *yes, Vitos, it's about you* It was you who dared me to take this step. Well, another urovod supported the idea ...
And Seryoga and I started thinking about the project. For spare parts, they thought up and grabbed the following (the engine came to me already with tuners, whose shafts on it we still don’t know, unfortunately):
engine 3S-GE
shafts unknown
gears Toda
increased receiver
exhaust manifold HKS/Jasma
automatic transmission from MR2
drive from MR2 atmosphere
oil temperature sensor Omori
oil pressure sensor Omori
spacer for oil sensors Juran
engine control unit MR2 spark plug
wires TRD
oil cooler TRUST
front strut supports, adjustable, on ShS
knuckles all 4 and rear calipers from Celica ST202
brake pads rear BREMBO
brake pads front Allied Nippon
brake discs BREMBO
brake hoses all 4
attachment belts
dipstick engine oil
timing belt HKS
hydraulic timing belt tensioner timing
belt rollers
Toyota spark plugs iridium/platinum
fuel pump from GT-Four
plastic timing belt covers with seals
crankshaft oil seal front

Expected oil pump with gaskets.
We are looking for pillows and brackets for the engine and gearbox, wheels, and the rest of the little things there ... joys for the suspension, for the interior ... for appearance ...
Analyzing the left, we decided to open the old and good 5a-fe. Caps and rings were really bad. On one of the distributors badass. Zasran engine was decently, but could still live. The truth is not long. =)
Since the New Year, our bortovik (more precisely, as regards the project) has been crawling onto Ignitione dot ru in the LiveJournal team of the magazine. ;)
ps There are a couple of photos. But the laptop categorically refuses to transfer them from the camera today. So later.
I WANT YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR, DEAR FRIENDS! GOOD LUCK TO YOU, YOUR RELATED AND LOVED ONE! BE HEALTHY, FUN, LOVED! GOOD ROAD TO YOU, CREATIVE IDEAS, NEW IMPRESSIONS AND INTERESTING TRAVEL!
With love,
your Natasha)
Well, here we are already celebrating the New Year!)
and I wish you all the very best. May wishes come true.
Natasha, as I am already far away in 2011, I wish you to enter it successfully and realize all your plans, as well as all the best, and most importantly, health
Logically. And don't think of everything at once. We must learn from our own mistakes.
Sometimes I think that it would be easier to sell Levin with a practically dead engine and not mess with the swap at all. But that's no reason to quit now.
At this stage, there is no where to start from problems. I hope that everything will pass, if not smoothly, then without any problems. Thank you for your advice, understanding and support. I really appreciate the opinion of those who have already done this work.
if the car did not go after the swap, then you are poorly prepared for it, alas. Looking back, I understand that many things could have been done faster and easier. But it's done the way it's done.
Thanks to. Happy New Year to you too!)
We have the case when it is impossible to do it in stages. Too many things to change in the car to have. But the improvements after the swap, yes ... in stages, so that, as you said, progress was noticeable.
Swap is such a thing — look at my experience :)) do not despair and do not give up. Spend the swap in stages, and after each stage the car must drive. Then there will be constant progress. And there will be no such terrible feeling of helplessness.
Happy new year 2011, year of new achievements!
