ah that shark fin is hawt... cant wait to see everything done
whats the colour you using/code? its a really nice red.
Looks great - I especially like the rims and tire choice and the GT4 look. The only thing that looks off to me is the shark fin. But that's just my .02. You are gonna take it off to paint the car right?

good find playr158...when it comes to cars, you can never be to sure. always better to be safe than sorry

those matrix seats honestly dont even look safe for a racing seat. to much cushioning IMO. from makers of recaro and sparco you'll find minimal cushioning and more reinforcement.
o m g, i cant wait to see this all finished and running! haha price tag will be a killer though...
seeing this doesn't help when i'm about to sell my gt4 frown.gif

unfortunately mine also needs alot of work and my head is screaming "sell it"!

frirt off we must remember that i am NOT building a RACE CAR, if i was building a serous performance car safty would not be an option... my celica on the other hand is a small low budgit project that me and my bf decied to go in on as a learning experience for me to understand what it takes to build and owen a nice clean import street car!!! i love my celica and i wanted to give it a second chance at life, while not braking the bank. the seats i bought fit the budget and the style i wanted and i think thay will serve me well... biggrin.gif

not trying to bash you but safety is always a concern. were not saying they wont hold up, it just has yet to be proven...my observation is from the comparison on how they look compared to brand like recaro...they just arent appealing to me
today i got the hood spoiler in... at first i tryed to get one from toyota but thay have stoped making that part... so i searched for a used one and got a few leads but no follow through from the sellers... so finaly i heard about eurbuni corp making a univesal hood wing that looks like the factory gt-4 hood wing.. so, i ordered it up and this is what i got... cwm13.gif

its realy nice and durable, and almost has a perfect fit!!! all 4 predrilled holes in the gt-4 hood line up with all 4 of the wings post, it dose sit a little higher than stock but look grate!!! the only thing thats needed is a little sanding and shaping to the bottom of the wing post so that it fits snugg agenst the hood... i am very pleased with this product and would recomend it to any one who dose not have the this part on there gt4 hood!!! thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif
its looking good, im ready to see the final product smile.gif

Cool plate, is it authentic? or is it one of thouse sticker on metal plates?? I got a real France Plate with my screen name on it that i bought in Nice when i was on vacation.
Valo666.. yes its very real!!! not regesterd thoe, but i love it so much!!! one of my fav mods!!!

today was slow but good!!! im still waiting on bumper brakets from chapion and a spot in the paint booth to open up, so i started sanding on the trd rear wing to pass some time. i bought the wing from another member on this sight for $75 bucks 2 moths ago, he told me that it was fiberglass and this what i find... cwm13.gif

what the confused.gif
IPB Image

it couldnt be biggrin.gif

helllllllzzzzzz yeaaaa!!!! trd carbon wing!!! bowdown.gif bowdown.gif bowdown.gif
IPB Image

i cant belive this happed, i wanted a carbon wing from the start but thay are very expensive so, i opted for a used wing and still got what i wanted!!! i am very lucky wink.gif
what i dont under stand is why would somone want to paint this wing after paying so much for it confused.gif


i also got pics of the celica as it starts to go back together after being jamed in, enjoy!!!
