Well i couldn't have picked a worse week to book off work to start this. its pissed it down all week and with my tiny garage and drive it means ive got nowhere near as much as i wanted to done.

this is the shopping list ive been working from

a few questions about this list:

will the modified N/A flywheel and N/A clutch handle the power of the standard 1mzfe ive read that it wont if im going for more power but seeing as i dont intend on doing anymore engine mods will it be ok.

what is the infamous 4th plug on the loom.

what and where is the gold block.

anyway heres the car its eventually going in

i bought her from a guy up in Preston for 200 notes as he thought the head-gasket had gone turns out he had been filling the coolant at the header tank and was over filling it making it boil over. since owning her ive changed all bushes for superpro poly bushes, fitted a pipercross viper air filter and hsd coilovers.

so last month i bought a 1997 camry v6 (1mzfe) for 500 quid with full service history and 180000 miles on the clock seemed alot before i went to pick it up but the whole car was in mint condition looked like a car that had done more like 50000.

and this week i finally got round to starting the removal of engine which was pretty straight forward after i finally built up the courage to get the angle grinder out (first time in 14 moths, nearly lost my finger to one)

hopefully ill be getting more done today but need to go bolt shopping first for some bolts long enough get engine on to stand.
