I told my dad how i miss my old '90 celica. he said it's at his house. he put 600 dollars worth of parts replacing the cv joints, bearings, rotors, and some other shit on the front end that was all outta wack. (he really did put 600 in, and that's without labor, yeah it sounds like a lot but a whole lotta shit on the front end was fucked up, and he got tired of using autozone parts and bought toyota parts)

he said since the car was mine to begin with for 600 I can have it back again.

he said i should probably sell my 94 ram 1500 4x4.

he said i could take the money i use from selling my ram and dump it into the bike.


I definately am going to give my dad the 600 to get the celica back. It has 155k miles or so and a new clutch in a 123k and it should last quite a while longer. besides the gas mileage it gets is awesome.

I dont really want to part with the pickup though. it's very useful moving shit around etc..

what would you guys do? I might keep the pickup at my work on the weekends so i can keep both.


I dont even think my ram would fetch a price worthy enough of selling it. it has 213k miles even though the body etc are all in good condition with newer paint..

how much for the ram

[Edited on January 20, 2007 at 1:53 PM. Reason : i wonder if v-10 will bolt up to that transmission]

1/20/2007 1:40:50 PM

your dad is making you give him $600 for a car that would otherwise be sitting? what a choad.

1/20/2007 3:03:59 PM

i doubt it was sitting, considering all of the new parts used.

would you throw away $600?

1/20/2007 3:37:07 PM

having to choose which shitty car i have to drive would really suck. kyle you must really hate your life. at least you arent alone, the rest of us hate you too.

1/20/2007 3:45:45 PM

lol

1/20/2007 4:44:23 PM

I indeed hate you.

1/20/2007 5:14:36 PM

for the ram not sure.

about the celica he just wants the 600 out of it that HE PUT INTO IT. im looking up the kbb on the ram.

it has year old..

paint, water pump, radiator, brake master cylinder, fuel pump, fuel filter, altenator, clutch

i changed the tranny fluid, transfer case fluid (put new seats in transfer case) and diff fluid front and rear.

about choosing which shitter to drive... that's pretty much the case. the ram gets 15-16mpg while the celica gets 30mpg.

1/20/2007 6:41:42 PM

igor the first two drums in your transmission are heating up and binding together. Eventually they will weld themselves in this fashion. i saw it earlier this week on another dodge transmission. its very common apparantly.

so what are my options? in addition to a) swapping the whole fuckin transmission and b) towing it to a cliff and pushing it over?

1/21/2007 7:43:06 PM

V ten in the lude nigga!

1/21/2007 7:45:44 PM

^^ c) throw some lucas in it and drive the hell out of the bitch till it fries.

1/21/2007 7:49:56 PM

i want V10 ram. i want it NOW!

1/21/2007 7:56:50 PM

why...


i mean the early ones were only 300hp or so

1/21/2007 8:17:22 PM

but gobs of torque. it wasn't that great of a motor though.

1/21/2007 8:30:31 PM

310hp-310ft/lb i hink the factory specs

mine is going up for sale, pretty much best offer, transmission is fucked as far as im concerned, body got a ton of small dents, but no engine problems whatsoever

1/21/2007 8:36:04 PM

really? i was thinking it was like 425ft./lbs. or something at a pretty low rpm.

1/21/2007 8:57:09 PM

yeah, just checked... 300hp and 450ft/lbs.

1/21/2007 9:01:49 PM

oh word. still, the fucker aint going nowhere with that goddamn trammission

1/21/2007 9:03:51 PM

go get one from a junkyard and ill help you swap it in there, shouldnt take more than a day says the man who has been swapping an engine for three days now

1/21/2007 9:07:12 PM

yeah, that's what i'd do. even if you're going to sell it, you'll get more $$ and it'll sell easier. i offered to give him a hand with it also. we'll do it derby car style, lol.

1/21/2007 9:11:22 PM

it's decided. IM KEEPIN HER FUCK A CELICA IN THE EAR

1/22/2007 8:45:36 PM

why not just keep both? it's only 600 bucks. that thing was beat on the front end, but it sounds like your dad finally has it straight.

drive it daily to save gas or whatever, keep the truck to play/haul with.

[Edited on January 22, 2007 at 8:52 PM. Reason : .]

1/22/2007 8:51:43 PM

^yeah i'd have to keep one vehicle at my work. i guess that is what i would do then. lol be broke again.


the front end was beat thanks to muah im surprised it held up after the floggings i gave it. that clutch u replaced only had ... 20k on it

[Edited on January 22, 2007 at 8:56 PM. Reason : .]

1/22/2007 8:56:14 PM

oh lord, transmission jobs done derby style... bellhousing bolts are like the summer.


summer there, summer not.

1/22/2007 8:57:31 PM

^LOL

1/22/2007 8:58:00 PM

^^ahaha... true dat. hangin the car from a hoist. i actually put that wagon back together alot better than i had planned.

half of kyle's shit was missing before i even touched it. sheared bolts on the cv shaft carrier bearing, backed out bellhousing bolts, etc. wheel hop isn't friendly to fwd cars.

don't feel bad, clutches don't last much longer for me in anything.

1/22/2007 11:23:42 PM

i wheel hopped that shit everywhere.


i dunno how the e-brake still works on it either

[Edited on January 22, 2007 at 11:53 PM. Reason : ]

1/23/2007 1:18:09 AM
