This isnt really an update, but since im bored heres whats on the shopping list,
-Door visors
-Tein or megan coilovers
-Red long extended Rays lock nuts
-Three point front strut brace
-Four point lower arm bar
-Rota DPT 18x9.5 ET35 Matte Bronze <- i cant afford,
Some goodies should be rocking in abit more than a week. So stay tuned
And i told myself i wasnt going to spend anymore money on my car and save for a gt4. Now im telling myself i can do both.
Also hunting down a RHS high beam projector, as that is what im missing from my set. Thinking of running 10,000K lows for more blueness. My 8,000k arnt cutting it anymore. I swear they have gotten more and more white and less and less blue...
ps. Picking up a set of 7gen rims tomorrow.

you should buy some ksport coilovers i hear they are pretty nice... and a lot cheaper.

pics of the projectors installed??
any chance of adding sway bars to your shopping list? you were talking about maybe getting some awhile ago?

Yeh Rusty projectors wont be on as you will find out when you read my updated signature
Sway bars, i do have the intention on purchasing. Modding is an expensive hobby. Coilovers, im swaying towards megan or bc since ive heard so much good things from trdproven about the megan
And the 7gen rims.

And more goodies have arrived.
Thanks to darthripley for the door sills. Great seller.
Before
Off
After
The door sills are a great addition and very noticeable everytime i step in and out of the car.
A CAI with a k&n pod filter from chromeintakes.
Before
After
For the CAI i felt minimal to no performance upgrade. I couldnt hear much difference either. Could be due to the fact that my exhaust is loud already. Throttle response is only a tad better and i could only hear the pod filter at higher revs 4500+. But only minimal. I was hoping for abit more torque + throttle response. But that aside it is a nice addition to the car.
[b]My Build Thread|Flickr|My Blog
seriously does ALL your money just go straight to your car haha, the celica door sills look awsome and the CAI looks cooler than a short air intake but knew it would be minimal difference.
Agreed^ but the intake filter is right next to the header/downpipe. I don't think it's gonna be getting much COLD air which is probably why you aren't feeling any significant power gains. I piped my CAI to the fender and felt and heard a HUGE difference. I had a video of the sound but it got deleted on my camera. But since i'm scared of hydrolocking, (it has been known to rain pretty hard here) i've cut it and made it short ram.
Intake definitly looks cool tho..

The pod filter is actually routed under the battery. I was going to get the accord cai, but i was too cbf taking off the fender for all the trouble to install the cai. Going to go for another hard drive around tomorrow.

Actually they are not cheaper, and Megans have better ride comfort.

i got them to handle. the stiffer the better
if you want adjustability and handling but not a stiff ride. megans n teins will provide

The other adjuster tilts the backrest and remembers it's position, when you pull the lever and the seat comes forward, you can push the seat back and it will remember the exact spot you reclined it to, my 1995 SS-I had that, 1996 & 1997 JDM seats don't have it, unsure about 1998 (beams red.)
On our 1996 Jap imported Celicas, the seat only goes back to a default position. If you're anything like me and only find 1 position comfortable (all the way back, bucketed full and tilted 2 clicks past the seatbelt) then you'll hate 1996 seats and probably never try to get anything off the back seat from the driver side.

The door sills are a very nice touch.. I got them on the gt4 but not the ss-iii, I wonder if all jdm gt4s got them since ss-iii didnt even get it until 1998.
That cold air intake is pretty nice, but you may want to reconsider the routing as it's awfully close to the exhaust headers.
You can pipe it through the factory cold air tunnel but it requires some haxxing...,
Pop off the passenger side wheel arch cover, unbolt and rip out the intake resonator box,
Unbolt the fuse box on the passenger side to get to the factory cold air intake pipe, pull that out...
That will give you two possible holes to shove your aluminum intake pipe through, you'll have to hammer the holes out to enlarge them enough to get a 3"+ diameter. Use 45deg & 90deg silicone couplings if you don't want to scratch your fancy pipe there.
The part I'm stumped on though is how the hell do people relocate that fuse box, some setups have it moved to make a straight path for a pipe to go through, but there is no plug you can disconnect that i can see to make an extension patch loom.

Some touch up paint on the tyres, done one side atm ran out as i was doing the other side. The paint wasnt the best, it was sticky and thick. Up close its uneven. Going to try my luck tomorrow finding some tyre paint or some paint that works well on rubber. And starting over. It might not be everyones cup of tea, but hey i like it.
Pics for now.

Very very nice job I think. Now all you need is a drop.
