JDM Non Projector Headlights $80 Any significance to these being JDM? I seem to recall reading they have an extra bulb hole, or maybe I dreamed that or something Huge significance as they are setup for rhd applications and will blind oncoming traffic in lhd traffic setting. Lol, because you can't do the cutoff modification that everyone does right? So damn dramatic. Yes there is an extra bulb that functions like a DRL. |

Moral of the story, stop while you're ahead and go to a 3S-GTE. At least that's my take away from it. I think when most people think of doing a turbo on a 5sfe it is easy. I will just slap a turbo on and keep the boost low. It is not that easy. The 5sfe is and economy motor that was not meant to be turbo'ed in stock form. Don't get me wrong, it can be done but for all the money a person will spend doing that, you could spend that amount on a 3sgte and have a 500 hp motor if you wanted. I went into building a 5sfte with the wrong mentality. I thought I could build it cheap and it would take less time and be less complicated. That was not the case. Yes, there are success stories of the 5sfte but most of them I know of they got at most 1 and half to 2 years out of the motor before they had problems. Now most of those people are swapped to either 3SGTE's, 1MZFE's, or 2GRFE's for the OEM reliability and extra power. There is one plus to doing a 5sfte, you will get really good at pulling the motor our of the car because stuff is going to break. When I first started my 5sfte build it took me 2 days to get the motor out of the car. By the 5th time (in 2 years) of me pulling the motor, I was able to have it out in 3 hours (not sure that is a plus). ![]() When I do my AWD Conversion I'm going to create 2 milspec connections so that you can disconnect the engine super easy. I've also considered cutting the main frame up front and creating a bolt in section so that I can remove the entire front of the vehicle and only disconnect the harness and hoses. |

Hey everyone, So when I had my custom exhaust made I decided that maybe I'll try using a different muffler from the typical canister type. This was the muffler that I choose: ![]() I like the sound that it makes with the resonator. Now I have the Megan Racing N1 that I bought off ebay just lying around and was wondering if I should replace my muffler that I have now with it. ![]() Just needed some opinions. Overall, if anything it'll most likely be for the look and if I don't replace my muffler then I might sell it. Here's how it looks with my muffler now: ![]() Do what pleases you. I personally weigh my exhaust options in the order of: Performance Sound Looks I have a 3" straight all the way back to a basic muffler, once I complete my AWD Conversion I have the HKS hi power exhaust waiting. |

This weekend, I installed JDM projector lows & clear highs and gave my car a MUCH needed wash/wax. Today, I ordered some ARP extended wheel studs in anticipation for new wheels that I'm aiming to have by the fall. Can I grab a link for those ARP wheel studs? I'm after something because I'll be running a small spacer to fit my Works... Nothing crazy ~4mm but I want to upgrade the studs and lugs to be safe. |

So here is my problem. I did the 6th gen GT4 brake mod on the front my 94 GT. And now when i stop the damn thing sounds like a fright train stopping, its so loud! The set-up i have is the GT4 calipers, ebc turbo supra pads and 2013 brz rotor. I have anti sequel shims and anti rattle springs and i just ordered the pad spacers from Toyota. I dont see why the lack of a pad spacer would cause this much sound. Any advice or help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone ![]() Have you pulled it apart and checked for any grinding spots? Also what pads did you get because that could matter. |

I thought it was funny today, I was updating my mods list on my Celica and it got me thinking about how much I used to dream about what I've done to my Celica and how proud I am of the steps I've taken thus far. I guess that's why I think I'm just sad that there really aren't many to appreciate it... At the same time I'm glad I don't have a mainstream car because it makes my build that much more unique. It's so tough, I want people to appreciate my car, but not build garbage cars themselves, and also be mature enough to have cool meets without getting the cops called. It's just impossible. I quit ![]() |

https://groupme.com/en-US/ It seems it can also be used on the computer... So maybe this would be a good way to get a free 6gc chat going? |

Hey Mods and Admins, there's this group chat app that people can put on their phone called GroupMe that can be set to use only WiFi (for those that don't have unlimited data) but since the chat is always something that is difficult to work with online perhaps this app could be an option.. If the mods all jumped in on the app and created a chat (I believe it also has moderator options) then people could pm the Mods their number to be added? Just a thought... |
