Re: Vip's Celica All-Trac Project
May 7th 2009 - My car has been down for a couple weeks due to a cracked exhaust manifold. I took it off, did some grinding where the cracks were, and got it welded. I also put a stiffer spring in the wastegate so I can push more than 17psi. I'm also in the process of adjusting my valve clearances. Just need to get more shims and swap them out.

I also ordered a couple exhaust hanger mounts from Toyota that I was missing. My exhaust pipe was banging against one of the crossmembers which lead to the exhaust manifold prematurely cracking. Can't have that happening again!
