Re: New to Site from alabama

Where in Alabama are you located? I'm from Tennessee but about 1/4 mile from the TN/AL state line above the NE corner AL.

Re: Chattanooga, TN *update: bought a RA21*

It's a Mazda transmission. In the service manuals it's referred to as the "R" transmission. Don't really know what it means just that it can take lots of power and high rpms.

Re: Chattanooga, TN *update: bought a RA21*

There are mods to the water passages in the head to force the water to flow from rear to front. Drill out the rear holes in the head then tap and use set screws in the front passages to block them. Set screws need to have a small hole drilled in them for steam/air to bleed off and not cause a hot sp...

Re: Chattanooga, TN *update: bought a RA21*

Over at projectzerog.com we've came up with ways to move the thermostat to the front of the head and change the water flow to suit. The CAS can be eliminated by using the 2G crank and cam sensors which mount on the front of the engine. External water pumps do have one advantage, they can easily be c...

Re: Chattanooga, TN *update: bought a RA21*

Chattanooga, TN *update: bought a RA21*

First off, must say that I do not have a Celica. About two years ago I bought a 1 owner 85 GTS. The GTS had sat for a long time, so it took me three months to get it road worthy. While freshening up the top end and fuel system, I installed a Supra limited slip and new suspension bushings. I had 5 ca...
