Wow, that really sucks kindasad.gif

Such wasteful destruction though... they probably made out with about $50 worth of sell-able stuff, whilst causing hundreds of dollars damage kindasad.gif

how would someone know you have hid, unless theyve seen the car before......

If they knew the car though they'd be complete whackjobs to think HID ballasts were the best things to steal tongue.gif

He mentioned on Facenook that he thinks the people that did this knew the car. I don't understand people sometimes. kindasad.gif

They did try to steal the radio but failed.
I guess they didn't have the proper tools because all I saw was crow bar damage on my interior panels.

I'm guessing the HID were stolen because they tried to unhook the batteries (which they also failed to do) and saw the HIDs sitting there.

They weren't going to leave without taking anything....

Not celica related but 2 weeks after my car got broken into, my girl's EVO MR got stolen. Happened in the same parking lot at my condo on the night of april 9th northwest suburbs. Ipass shows they went east towards chicago through the tolls on i-90 by cumberland.

People in the chicagoland area, if you see a graphite grey evo 9 mr with a COBB exhaust, scratches on the rear bumper passenger side and dented rear driver side door let me know please.

My breaking in and her theft are most likely the same group of people says the police.
One of their car is a maroon dodge durango with a banner across the windshield and the other is a silver van.

Thanks for reading bc I'm really furious about this. No one makes my gf cry.

Found the EVO in Chicago in one piece. I haven't seen it in person yet but according to my gf, everything seems untouched.
As for the Celica, window is fixed and HIDs ordered.

What I learned this year so far, not many of my friends give a crap about my Celica but they care so much about the Evo lol.
It can't be helped. Only a Celica owner really knows the true greatness of a Celica smile.gif




Seeing CheeLa's and Richee3's progression I feel like I need to get back in this but sadly, you won't be seeing much until I sell my condo and buy a house with a garage!
Hopefully this year thou, I'll get her lowered with spacers.

I had some help from evolutionm.net and the guys over there ran my plates online and found the car in a police impound. The police found the car in a abandoned parking lot couple days after it was stolen.

Wow, that's incredibly fortunate! Glad to hear you got your Evo back unscathed.

Damn... this all reminds me my story from 2008 frown.gif. They stole stuff in value of $25 but made total damage for $1900. Fingers crossed to make everything sorted as soon as possible with minimal loss.

I know it gets me mad because I had a really pristine, non-washed out original interior panels which are REALLY hard to come by these days and they break it in half without even taking what they were after.

I never get tired of the "ss4" front end. I'd love one on mine. Beautiful build and I'd choose your celica over the lancer. Lol.

I met up with bloodMoney at a local car meet but he was disappointed on how I still had the stock rims instead of the ADVANS.
"Shigs, you really NEED to change the rims. It just doesn't look right" LOL

As I mentioned here, I don't feel safe to park my car here at my condo (especially with the ADVANS on) so I opted for the next best thing I had... GTS rims.
But the GTS rims too weren't in the best of conditions so I took the time last weekend to clean them up.

Rusted up GTS rims Before and After sanding


Yes, I didn't want to take the tires off... index card is your friend


Side by side comparison of 1 coat of base and primer


Applied 2nd coat


Now 2 coats of clear and the baking (well sun baking) stage


The results were better than I expected! Now, I hope I won't be embarrassing any Celica owners. LOL

You don't feel safe with your Advan's on? Don't worry, they're totally safe in my garage. I'll take then off your hands for you. smile.gif Better just leave the whole car attached to them too. wink.gif

amazing is every single person who used "SS-four" design has in fact unique car because:

- my one is "facelifted" on 1996 ST205
- Shigexile has (as only one btw) "pre-facelift" on 1994 ST204
- sarintr "facelifted" on 1995 ST204 http://www.6gc.net/celicas/ss-4-8225
- vidmav has on JDM SS-III (1998 ST202) also "facelifted" http://www.6gc.net/celicas/1998-ss-iii-hatchback-10789
- and palooke used it on 1996 ST204 convertible with slightly more from GT4 bumper... http://www.6gc.net/celicas/ss-four-c-4594

The same idea but always bit different results in the end. AT200 one is missing in the list smile.gif


helllooo)))

The Celica looks so cool with the SS 4 look. How easy was that to do? I live in Chicago btw and I'm sorry to hear about that B & E bs... That happens way too often around here
