Wow, thanks heaps! Huge compliments. What car do you drive (I recognise your sig, and Brian someone's US RA65 on celicas.org)
Unfortunately it doesn't go that well. Engine still leaks oil somewhere though I can't really tell, smells like burnt oil after a hard run but doesn't seem to be coming out of the exhaust. Perhaps leaking an being cooked on the outside of the engine I guess (hope) rather than being used as such. Actually smells like burnt degreaser (I guess) instead ever since I degreased the top half of the engine to try to diagnose the oil leaking problem - guess I didn't rinse it off well enough!
Drove behind a truck and got some chips in my windscreen too that I will ahve to fix, and the rear windcreen wiper rubber deteriorated so last time I used it it went scratch all across the window 
I'd love to take a Ta63/4 for a drive one day to see how the 3tgte goes in this chassis. And compare it to a modded 22RE. A lot less torque, but perhaps lighter? I'm a bit confused, on Matti Kalihati's [spelling] site, the stock specs of the 3tgte seem to be ~150lb/ft torque, but in his carina the lisetd stock specs are more like 200lb/ft. Which would make a big difference.
I lost my digi cam a week again so can't take more pics until I buy a new one sometime
