So I picked up a gnarly 1993 ls400 the other day. Gonna swap the motor into the Celica. Can't find pin outs anywhere. Hoping somebody on here either has a shop manual for purchase or is willing to email some photo copies... I've read just about every year of 1uzfe is different in terms of wire color and other various plugs. Funny story on picking up the "sexy lexy": funny update
So we went to pickup "sexy lexy" on Saturday. (More on the name later) Meant to get on the road at 8am sharp. Well, I stayed up late drinking. Got on the road about 10am. It was 102* that day. Why do I always choose these days...
Had to drive from sisters, Oregon to aloha to meet the legendary A2O. He had a pair of front rims for me. I needed those because the "sexy lady" that sold me the ls400, had sold the massive 18" rims that were on it in the pics, and had purchased some 15" rims for it to replace them. But bob checked out the car and said the fronts needed the 16" but the rear 15" rims would clear the calipers.
Then after that we made our way out to Gresham, to the ghetto. We got the front rims on. Ez peezee. Checked fluids, started her up, put her in reverse, stepped on it. Nothing. The engine roared, the suspension compressed. But it wouldn't budge. Played with some ish, long story short- the 15" rims wouldn't clear the calipers (my buddy is a dingus, he torqued the 15" rims down even though they were interfering) so we tried filing the rotors down. No go. We tried an angle grinder. No go. We tried washers from Home Depot to try and space the rims outward. No go. So finally we decide "hey, let's remove the rear rotors all together. So we unbolted those turds and tried zip ties to hang them out of the way.
Well that wasn't going to work, zip ties are weak against hot exhaust on a 102 day. So we asked this ladies boyfriend, aka "cleatus" if he had anything. He got us some bailing wire. It worked. He however did not. This guy was nuts. The F-bomb was literally every other word. In the process, he revealed to us that his girlfriend is in Vegas seeing her daughter. They are both strippers. Lol. Lol. Lol. I could've called it. Later, on the ride home we found a half used tube of vag cream in the trunk of the "sexy lexy" Oh snap! I suddenly didn't wanna touch any part of this car! The long drive home I had this really uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, thought it was the extreme gross out I had from the cooch creme. About 2am, I woke up and pissed blood. No joke. Kidney stones blow. Been on the couch all day. Automotive adventures are always full of memories, am I right? we got home around 930pm... The whole drive home was miserable because, at first, the "Junkyard Cleatus plastic wrap special" window wrap was loud as crap, so we took it off. But did I mention it was 102 yesterday?!?! Yeah, that was a loooooong drive home.
