Since its almost the end of an amazing experience driving/modding my Celica I thought it would be cool to take one last look of the events leading up to now.

August 2006: Happy Happy day... I got a celica! from a local auction



decided to clean it up a little bit..



decided to get some small fog lights lol (fail)





man these are some oldddd pics lol

2007: EVO 9 nearly took my life.. the celica saved me smile.gif driver side door was completely smashed.. got it replaced but the frame damage was never fixed.
I couldn't find any clear turn signals.. so I decided what the heck might as well paint it silver.. (success)




you could still see the lights when I turned also so it was a pretty sweet deal

after 2 years of driving like this.. I decided it was finally time for a change..

2009: year of the GT4 you could say.

February 2009:

convertered my front end to GT4.. and decided to get a nice UK plate... to help express my hate for the car that nearly took my life



got some nice 18 inch sport tuner rims..





Decided to take some pics with a couple friends



Underground parking lot






Shot with a supra



May 2009.. The hood of destruction.. forgot to close my hood and yea.. a fixed windshield later, I got a damaged hood.
Decided to get a little TRD badge to put on the front grill so maybe people wouldn't notice the hood.



September to November 2009: the swap that lead to the end of a dynasty

If I could go back in time.. I would tell myself not to do it.. a swap is just not something for college students.. you don't have time or money to finish a swap.. even if you've done the research there's still going to be hidden surprises. As far as swapping the engine in.. that was a success. it actually only took a day and change after getting the 5s out.



I wish I had time to finish the entire swap process.. its a shame the celica regime has come to such a abrupt end. When the car is sold.. it will be a sad sad day.. frown.gif

With the stock BOV plumbed back into a pod filter intake like that, does it make a "tu tu tu tu tu" sound or none at all?

I havent really had a chance to drive it much other than just revving the engine but it does make a litte sound, nothing distinct though

i dont understand why are you selling it after doing a swap man.
i think that if you do a swap to your car is because you are going to keep it!

I just don't have the funds to make it 100% complete.. and even If I did I just don't have the time either.. so far in 2010 I've only seen my car a couple days. Its not fair for her to be sitting around.. when someone could be driving her..
