>thanks man! I'm not even sure if the paint job is going to happen in the spring or not lol
it all comes down to what happens over the winter, but well see!
and that was my other reason as well cause the NE winters are horrible! lol
I'm hoping to do a ton over the winter with her.
I do, however, want to get the skirts and rear splitters molded on before the winter or at least just the skirts.

do you have a thread for your car?
(i didn't look to see if you did haha)


ya i feel ya .. and ya i have a thread on my 3s swap goin right now. its kinda on hold right now bc i need money but its close lol

what was wrong with the silver celica? i dont understand why u pulled apart a perfectly good celica to fix a crashed celica?

Mike W1996 Toyota Celica ST205 GT-FOURGT2860RS turbine, TiAL mvr44, JE 86.5φ piston, Clutchmasters FX400, APEX P-FC269awhp / 273ft-lbs
I'll give you a list right now:

tranny was crap, when you drove you could barely go above 10mph and the rmp's were at about 4k
MAJOR exhaust leak!
interior was painted like 5 different colors
smelled horrible inside the car (musty or moldy smell)
rotors were grooved and pretty much shot
the spare wheel area in the trunk had a huge hole at one point and had putty filling it
a lot of rust under the car
it had a rejection sticker since 2006 (i think that says something)
and some other stuff as well


Updateee:

Parents are getting me JDM tails for my birthday smile.gif

I'm glad someone else can now appreciate the benefits of having JDM tail lights (benefits include, but not limited to, confusion from Celica owners who know nothing about JDM, sexiness increased 10 fold, and pillowing pride at the awesomeness of them)

Lol enjoy!

had fun with you, dustin, and steff as well! smile.gif

as for the tails, im going to cut and tape up the wires for the extra two bulbs cause you can see them glowing a little at night lol
I think if you cut them, your blinkers may go super fast. Not quite sure though.

it's one of the driving lights so i wouldn't think so, but i could just throw some electrical tape around them and cover them that way haha
Yeahh you may be right lol. I just got the JDM harnesses for mine, so I didn't have to deal with it.

i have the jdm harness as well lol
do all the lights work fine? like when you have the driving lights on, do two light up and when you brake, do two light up?

If you have a JDM harness, you shouldn't have any extra lights. Just the two brake lights, the reverse light and the turn signal. And yeah, my two brake lights are on when I'm driving and they both light up more when I brake.

well i mean i have the jdm harness but im not using it lol
i threw my usdm one on the jdm tails and i put the jdm harness in a usdm set and put them in my shed so the bulbs wouldn't get damaged haha
Switch NAO! Hahaha tongue.gif

lmaoo i mightt, but I have 3 sets of usdm harnesses so im mostlikely going to mod this one.
I'm going to do the orange piece delete on them over the winter.
I might add a green LED strip inside that housing when I do the delete and run it to a seperate switch so I can use it as a driving light. The same thing is going to happen with my highs and lows, I'm blacking them out on the inside and then putting a green LED strip in each and use them as driving lights smile.gif

Oooh creative! I'm fine with the amber in mine for now, but once my car starts cleaning up, especially once I get new paint, I'll more than likely do the amber delete
