>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


Chicago? Then you should come out to the Midwest meet this summer.

Yea when the date is set I'll see if I'm free. I got nothing to showoff though, but I'd like to see what others have done to their celicas.

Quick update...
1. Got that bug out of my headlight
2. Swapped out old ripped up shifter boot

But I still feel that I have yet again neglected the car for a while.
So here is a list of things I'm forcing myself to do before next summer:
1. Finish my wide front fenders
2. Add the front lip
3. Sell my euro front splitters
4. Fix my fogs
5. Black headliners
6. Repaint the whole car
7. Restore my ADAVNs
8. Get rid of the springs and go full adjustable suspension so I can finally drop it.

Let's start off with repairs thou: I need to do a parking brake overhaul.

pretty much living at work.
Most of my projects' SOP is at the end of the year so I should be able to go home earlier in the next coming months.

I can go to meets, spend some quality time with the car, find what parts to buy (gun, compressor, etc) and work on my list.

Drove home in the snow wearing the Potenza 760 last night. Fun at first but not when the snow starts accumulating on the road. Time to change to the the Yokohama ice guard. Its that time of year again when your hatch falls on your head.


I also changed my shift boot to a carbon fiber like fabric since the old one was in a bad condition


I also replaced my parking brakes. Take a look at how bad they were!

I was surprised how expensive parking brake cables can go for.

I'll most likely need new rotors for the rears soon. Any recommendations?

Get these. Got sick of hatch falling in my head. Finally replaced mine two years ago. They've been awesome.

And wow. Those rears brakes. Lol

Old news but I wanted to update this thread...
So I finally got rid of my eibach sportline and KYB GR-2 setup and got the BC Racing BR type with swift spring upgrade.

Not too much of a difference but it is much stiffer.
Dropped it a little too low with the 20mm spacers so it rubs often. I need to roll my fenders soon.
Anyone know where to rent them?

Do you still have the old setup? What's your plan with it?

No i tossed it. Front shocks were shot and rears were going to go soon too. Springs were pretty rusted up.

Damn. I needed some junk to throw on the 'vert, so that I could keep my stuff before junking it.

Got some tweed and redid the headliner. Use polyester for the sunroof trim.




Going to work on the sun visors next. Looks sloppy now but I'll touch it up as I piece it together.

Sweet! I should do mine but I'm afraid of the sunroof hardware. How hard was it to get around? Looks good.

You do need to take the sunroof out of the car but it's pretty straight forward. I think 10 bolts or so. Having a friend helps a lot.
