The Celica is Running!

Well yesterday after putting everything in the right way I got the celica running. I couldn't get it gear though. So today I looked into it and found that I am just retarded and needed to adjust the clutch pedal so I did that and hell yeah took it for a test drive and it felt good. I can't get on it yet since I am breaking in the motor but I can still feel that I have more power in it then I did before. I also pissed off my girlfriends parents whole nieghborhood when I was test driving it because right now I am running open header so it is quite loud. Infact after I got done test driving it for the last time while trying to tune the carb I pulled the car into the garage and 10 minutes later a cop went driving by. OF course the cop couldn't do anything because no one was working on the car and it was shut off and in the garage. I also got a red neon with an all show no go crap on it trying to race me and I Didn't even try because I would rather keep the motor strong and I pulle dup to him at a stop light and tried talking to him(was hard because of the loud header) but the guy was like "that is loud" and"is it fast" and I told him that I don't know because I just fired it up and he gave me a look like he didn't understand why I didn't know yet. Anyways I still need to tune my carb right, put my exhaust on and get it aligned but that sholdn't be too much.

I have the 22R that came with it still in there. I ended up boring the cylinders 40 over and putting in Toyota 40 over pistons and completely rebuilding the bottom end and top end and put in a TRD stage 2 cam and LC engineering valve springs. I also put on a Weber 38 carb, flex fan and removed all the emissions and vacuums lines that are not needed.
