but u have gt-4 riser blocks with SS-III emblems... talk about mixed msgs. lol

looks real nice

they are not just for GT-4's, the riser blocks. Have a check in the SS-III thread, they came standerd on the late spec ones (+97)



celica looks tidy, future plans?

Looks AWESOME, especially in this color. I'd never thought I'd like a celica in this color.
Next thing you need are spacers! smile.gif

(And a new more powerful engine of course)

Definately looks good with the coils in. But cmonnn mate drop it lower!! Theres always ways around your driveway. Planks of wood in the drain area to even it out. Or get some concreate and even it out. Or just park it outside. Oh yeh nice bronze 7gens stockies.

Lookin' good man! Since I had to move to Albuquerque for college, I'm out of a job. But once I start working again, I'll be getting my coils too! I already have a set of camber bolts and a pair of Miata Racing Beat end links. I really wanna get a bushing set tongue.gif

I can't wait to see what else is in store for her!

Now you just need some nice spacers! And for the love of Zeus, not hellaflush haha

moar lowwww!
then spacer to flush out the 7th gen wheels would be very rad.

i know whacha mean about rough roads with coilovers, i dread mine a lot of the time.

Also, I think you should throw on an Apexi N1 muffler to replace your current. Straight cut looks so much better than angled.

current project: looking :(
I still need to take the short drive to check this car out.

Looking good Demon.

thumbsup.gif on the Pedo Peek. LOL

Has no more Celicas
Sometimes i just wonder why? seems like every freaking time i do something to upgrade the car something else takes a $hit, like with the coilovers, get them installed and find out i need new CV joints, ok i can deal with that, get the new CV's installed and the axle seals need to be replaced now or the cv is getting a bad seal, not to mention im burning oil worse than an old dodge mini van, just tired of everytime i do something its always something else that needs to be fixed...... end rant

its called opportunity for improvement.

do this, dont put oil, burn your engine and then sell me your shell for 500 bucks..

and ferdi, its an SSIII to me


This is a great progress thread, the car is really coming together nicely. How long did it take to paint those panels? It looks factory

I have a number of paint issues with the celica (terribly faded, few tiny rust spots, couple dents), and I wanted to learn how to do bodywork/painting. I have experience as a mechanic but I dont know much on bodywork. I know thats a real broad subject but I cant afford to bring the car to a body shop for this stuff and I would love to learn myself. Surprised no one has put a 'how to' or anything yet on painting or bodywork, but I have no problem being the first to do so if a few ppl would donate some good instructions!

Dont wana hijack this thread, sorry so I started a new one to continue this elsewhere:

...and that can be a Maserati if you want it to be, dont listen to that 'its not a SSIII' BS haha, its your creation. Lookin good

same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said
Hey thanks, and not too long i think prep and all about 4 or 5 days, but i had other stuff i had to do too so it could have been less, but its not all too bad, only way i have learned is by doing.....
Oh yeah and update, finally stopped leaking tranny fluid, got tired of it leaking so without ever messing with anything besides changing the tranny fluid i decided i was gonna install a new CV and a new inner tranny seal, 4 hours later and im done

finally have an update, spent the last few weeks molding and perfecting my splitters, just painted them and here are the results, more pics will be up later, but its looking like i dont even need to cut and buff the paint








Ok here are the pics, not the best pics but you get the point, the red primer in the first few pictures helps find high/low spots in the paint or chips things like that, filled all those with some glazing compound and the small pinholes where the bondo had air in it, but all those black circles you see are places i marked to be filled, there is not a single imperfection in the splitters, paint was a pita because my fan filter blowing out got clogged which caused some issues but looks pretty good IMO worked at least 20+ hours on getting these perfect and molded to my car but the result was worth it
