Which is your current project ? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #16261 33 posts Started by Ricky
I was just curious, Which is your current project, one that you are working on... not one that you are dreaming on.

I have several projects going on at the same time...

car is already lowered 2"

1. I am in the process of changing my 18" wheels for 19" AXIS MOD with TOYO Proxes. My 18" are the same wheels with TOYO proxes
2. I will be painting all 4 calipers and the part of the disk that shows in the rear.
3. painting the inside fenders (all 4) as well as the underneath of the car (chassis)
4. just got the clear front sides and signals.. wil be replaced next weekend too

I will then take a quick break... and prepare for my next project... The body kit and then the audio system... >biggrin.gif>

So tell me what's your project ????? >biggrin.gif>

I'm working on modifying my front bumper still. It's a slow process since I have to put it back on whenever I want to drive anywhere.

New Toyota project coming soon...
Guys & Gals,

When adding the wheel to the car dont forget to paint the calipers with heat resistant paint (at least 500 degrees) !!!!!!!

It is a very simple thing to do and it makes the car and rims combo look so much better. >bowdown.gif>

You can find a kit that includes the break parts cleaner and the paint for 4 calipers for $15 at you local auto parts and even at Wal-mart. >biggrin.gif>
well as for rite now............process on painting the whole car either white or metilica brown......but planned on swapping my motor to 3sgte later.
right now
GETTING MY CAR BACK!!!!

after, lambo doors and maybe a 5sfte project if i can't find an all-trac >bowdown.gif>

Jared Harwell
1) prepare to sell TRD c/f spoiler
2) fix rattle behind gauges
3) attempt to fix mis-alignment of fender
4) find a new switch for the sunroof

dream-land:
5) Tein SS Coil-Overs
6) Cheap SSR Comp knock-offs
7) Neverstop's gauges
8) fully black interior w/ TRD seats
my current project is swaping out my 5sfe and putting in my 3sgte the old motor is out and working on putting the new one in but ran into a few problems but it will all work out hopefully >rolleyes.gif>
Get my car back Friday and then, after driving it for a couple months, its kit and a total paint job. Get the seats recovered after that and then I am done.

QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback]i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
