Got home from school about a week ago and i decided to do a lot of work on the car. removed some rice and added some jdm hotness.


painted the calipers black. they were yellow and very ricey.


finally got my GT4 rear strut tower bar.


removed the power antenna and installed an S2000 fixed antenna. thanks asg14 for the how-to.



finally i gave the celi a tune up and washed/waxed it. here's some random pics i took today.










popo


some future projects;
-remove some rust from bottom of doors
-window tint
-auto-manual tranny conversion
-3s swap

You have one of the nicest/cleanest white celica's on this board. The only thing I didn't like about your car was the yellow calipers, and you fixed that. Did you have to take off your calipers to paint them? Are they the stock calipers? And finally, what brand paint did you use on them?

Thanks,

thanks a lot for the compliments. you dont have to remove the calipers to paint them. when i painted the calipers yellow i didnt take them off but i did remove them this time. i just wanted to make sure that they weren't rotted and rusted out. i had to rebuild the rear calipers so im glad i checked. i used dupli-color caliper paint that you can buy at any automotive store. you can also use high-temp engine paint.
