Glad to see she made it to Texas in one piece.
Kinda weird seeing her belong to someone else...

She took a flight? I wonder how much would that cost...

dude - where about S. Texas r u ? I wanna come take a look.

Laredo Tx., you should come to the Laredo Performance meet on May 27 that I was talking about, small $5 cover lets you run for the rest of the night, its gonna be a good event w/ different contests.

I will try to make it -- not sure if the celica will be done by then

I really hope it will be, then we can show what celica's can do!

hey guys, got an update!

Black car: blackouts for high beams(one of the lows was destroyed when the headlight was smashed on the convertible) Eyelids, and i switched the rims....

The vert is sitting in my backyard waiting for new belts, a/c compressor, and crank pully
(ac comp clutch stopped spinning, crank pully popped out, belts melted eachother apart)
put the gold rims on for now since its not moving anywhere, but my bro said they can stay if i paint them silver or gunmetal...

I really don't like the black out lights or eyelids. I think they make the car look cheap. Other than that, LOVE the car. Awsome buy!!

What the....Chanh55 would never do that!

I mean this in the nicest way. Leave the car the way Chanh55 built it.

Throw some JDM lights on the front.

x 2. Its your car now and its up to you what you do, but just remember......he made that thing look PERFECT. Anything less than that is a step down.


Hey if it isn't fast enough for you, then let me know. I'll try and find a good home for it here on the EC.

Do what you want with it mate, its your car and you have to like it so even if you wanted to change the entire thing to your own liking then no one should think any less of you or criticise you for doing it.

I think it looks smart, but I know if it was mine it would get lots of changes, but thats just me.

Yeah man it's your car... do what you want. I was just kidding around. =)

Dont go chrome on the wheels. If you think its slow, chrome will just slow it down even more. Its heavy.

#45

Just to specify, I didn't mean anything negative by my comment before. I was just saying that whatever you DO change should be at the same level of the previous build so that the car doesnt take a step backwards.....only foward.

Beautiful car. W00t.

CHIN! ....to be honest the lids were done as a way of lowering the excess glare from the hid's, cant get pullred over ya know? As for the next choice of wheels, im going with something with a deeper dish or more euro style....with the gold ones, the crossmember would smack every bump in the road, and let me tell ya, the roads are BUMPYlol, and with these, the car doesnt bottom out as much, but the tires rub the fender a bit.

prefer those to the gold ones mate.

Chanh55

#49

Looks good man... deep dish is what I was ultimately going for, that would look so nice. I only painted my rims gold because I was too cheap to buy new rims and hey it worked.

I say... paint the rims you have on now gold and keep the lip on the rims the way it is. Pure sex...

Oh yeah... since you broke those sidemarkers, you should do the JDM sidemarker mod. I never got around to doing that either... you promised to finish what I started! You must obey... hahaha

lol yea, the markers somehow flew off, so i covered it with electrical tape for now, i took alot of pics this morning car looks so much better in person than what my camara portrays though, its 4 years old and only 3.2mp!

im not painting my $700 rims though, noooway haha, the chromish ssr professors have a 2inch lip!

how much boost are you running?

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

95celgt

#52

the guage reads 6.5 psi at the most

Silver94CelicaOwner

#53

Geez, no wonder. Stock boost is 7psi, so its probably just barely hitting full stock boost.

Time to troubleshoot guy. Then you'll be more happy with the power.

you have some type of boost leak, restrive exhaust, CEL, or some other problem going on. no wonder your car feels really slow.

stock boost should be about 10psi. 7 is a bare min the car runs at when the ecu sees a problem going on.

13psi is where the car starts to come alive, and 15psi even better.

lets see, the BOV doesnt sound the same anymore compared to how it used to sound when i first got it, it used to make a cool, water splash sound and now it just makes a very short pshh.

exaust is a custom downpipe, and followed by the greddy sp2

car has a CEL which is for the speedo not getting a signal, but i doubt its this because its always had it

Car used to feel like darthvader on steroids, my 40-50% then is wqual to my WOT now...

so you think its the bov? car has simalar prob to brianforesters, have to give it gas as well to turn it on and dies if i let go upon initial start up, after a while it will idle ok, im leaning towards bov(boost leak) and AFM malfunction, although the car doesnt throw codes aside from speed sensor
