cool thanks ill do that still gonna get a \"spare\" valve cover this one had to kinda rush at the end didn\'t get enough coats of blue and also had some old paint so its looking sloppy if you look closely (not like anyone will) but i tried to get that out and it just wont how would i remove that?

yea sticking with white i think blue car white rims would sit pretty nice i played around with photoshop a bit and got this (actually i did one with tires but its on my home computer not work computer ill replace it so excuse the no tires)


Y U NO HAVE TIRES?


hmm i wonder how they\'ll fit if i install the lowering springs and spacers def consider getting those tires like i said im buy 4 new winter tires for my stock rims before the winter starts and then 4 summer tire for the TC rims and thats not a bad price only thing your kinda far, NC is like a 8 hr drive my parents drove down there last year to visit some friends and spend a week.

White definitely looks good against blue; the contrast is really nice.

As far as the tires go, I apologize for being unclear in my last post but I meant I bought my tires for about 400 dollars; $392 shipped from discounttires.com. You could check there for your summer tires. Either way, the car is coming along nicely and you're doing great.

ohhhhh that makes sense i thought you wanted to sell me some. lol. also thanks on the PCV valve 4 bucks at autozone gonna replace it tomorrow.

also it seams that that rear pass side tire was causing a bad shake in my car i had thought it was the spoiler so i drove around without it a couple of days still rumbled so i put it back on today but yesterday because of the flat i switched tires and i noticed it didn't rumble or shake and then on my way back home a really tested it and nothing guess the flat was a good thing cuz it happened while it was already parked not me on the move.

playing some more w/ photoshop now has tires im getting used to PS a lil bit


might aswell throw some spoilerless pics i took on here

kinda busy weekend went to ny auto show took alot of pics ( if anyone is interested nyautoshow album )but on to what happen to my car after being in my basement since last october FINALLY installed the eibachi sportline and kyb shocks i got from stevenson. also decided to do it all in one shot New brakes Hawks HPS all around, new EBC slotted front Rotors, the SS brakelines, TwosRUS endlinks to go with the ST front an rear sway bars, and gave it an oil change while i was at it. now this week ill order the Falken FK 452 for the scion TC rims i just finished repainting white and ill be set just need to replace the broken passenger tail light and rain guards paint the thing and ill be set for now.

Pics of it on your car!!! Lol. Sounds like DWG this year will be sick.

Yea i wanna finish everything up way before then so far got the performance/handling end down need to get the look and exterior set then ill be a happy camper.
some quick pics maybe kinda hard to tell from pics
>>Before>>



>>after>>





also didnt like the glossy look so i resanded and made it flat white like it MUCH better
>>Glossy
>>


>>Flat>>





and to go with these i ordered these Falken FK 452 ... i was one click away from buying the rt 615k only like an extra 75 bucks or so but i didn't want to go overboard and sacrifice even more comfort (i can see why ppl with lowered stiffer cars avoid potholes like a plague now lol)

nice to see defgeph's skirts and splitters in good use.

Awesome work chap.

Agree the flat white looks epic

thanks guys now the only real major work is the body fixing that rust in rear quarter panel on driver side and full body paint then i can finally be happy. its a slow progress but im getting and i rather take my time and do it right our cars deserve that. thanks for the encouragement always appreciate it.

Hello very nice modifications. I like the window wind deflectors and I want to buy a set for my celica. May I know from where you have bought them?

i got mine from rpmgarage.com but i don't think they have any currently in stock the get them in every once in a while just have to be in the look out for them.
also try ebay they have em every once in a while there too.

I see spacers too! Can't wait to see it with the rims on. You think the car rides hard right now, wait until you get the TC rims and tires on lol. My Enkei's with the Fuzions make flex non-existent.

yea im hoping the spacers give it a little bit flusher look and everything still looks and feels good and has enough clearance all everything when i get the tires ill see how the spacers work out and look they guy i bought it off (trd-corolla) did have his car lowered (i believe) and it looked good on his in the FS thread and he said it drove well never had a problem.

also i never updated i switched out my kick plates and installed these. did this back in like January

so this is as it stands gonna go wash her right now but i def like the look maybe a lil too low but i like non the less. think im gonna have to take off the spacers haven't confirmed since i just installed a lil bit ago but i fear the back passenger side might rub i mean i look like it has enough clearance but any lil hole or elevation change might beg to differ. also spacers might just be too much for my taste i love the flush look but id rather be able to drive faster with more peace of mind. (got a lil trigger happy w/ the camera lol)



















also got the new rain visors to replace he ones i broke and hopefully will get the rear strut brace sometime next week

Sick dude! Looking great! That fitment is perfect with those spacers!

white wheels!!! they look PERFECT!

Your car is taking shape. It will look amazing; I love that color. How did you break your passenger side tail light?

thanks tiga i really like how the white contrast the blue and kinda sets each other apart and i gotta say the color set up worked beautifully on your car (have had my eye on it for a while) sadly the back passenger side rubs very slightly if i hit any pothole or bumps to quick gonna see if i can bend of push the inside lip up cuz i like how it looks with the spacers other wise i gotta take em off and get maybe smaller ones as i don't wanna mess with my suspension. also bad news the front driver side tire seems to be leaking air from some where don't see anything stuck in it but gonna fill it up and take it to a tire shop to get it looked at crossing my fingers (there new so under warranty but don't wanna install my stock ones again after i just switched them.

thank JohanFer yea its been a slow build but im at the point where i am really happy with the look and feel (maybe a tab too low for my comfort) just now desperately needs that paint job to tie it all together and i back into a low metal trash receptacle around my job to low to see on rear view but high enough to hit the light it has prongs so garbage truck can just lift em. learned my lesson always make sure get out and check there noting behind you car when your backing up.

>


I learned that lesson when I backed into someone coming up my driveway at the same time in my Camry lol.

What rotors are those and what's the cost of them? I'm trying to decide on a local drilled and slotted rotor of if just slotted is fine. Being that it's my daily, Slots are probably the way to go, as where drilled will just fill with rust.

Also, pick up a set of these ASAP:

Your wheels, they be missing 'em.

way ahead of you bro ordered them like 2 weeks ago there coming from outside us though the caps should be here end of this week beginning of next week. that's actually not a bad price though.

i ordered the rotors from thmotorsports.com there the EBC slotted EBC USR they were slightly cheaper at another website but with the shipping at thm being free which is one reason i go to that site, it came out over all cheaper (shipping was like extra 20 buck on most sites for just the 2). and from the guys i have talked to slotted for a DD has more advantages than drilled. i heard with drilled the rotor is some what weaker though there is more air flow so it stays cooler and with slotted it keeps dirt debris and air flow with out losing rotor strength and keeps break pad an even wear. but don't qoute me on anything i am far from an expert in rotors and brakes but that what i understand from the research i've done and talking to people but i've heard drill and slotted are a no no. pick one or the other unless its for looks.
