6G Celicas Forums

after a long (in my eyes) hiatus from June 2012, finally back on the road





So here is the story of my celica.




so i dont get to ramble on too much, lets start out with the first picture i took of my car back in 2006 when I got her.


the first mod that i did was my JL speakers all around. nothing special. i wasnt too much into the whole 6gc scene until a little bit after.

i then stripped the hub caps and started putting every sticker i found on that car!







then i had finally gotten into the 6gc scene and started to mod her. first things first, a $70 weapon r intake from a fellow member. needless to say i felt badass installing it seeing as how it was my first mod.

after that came exhaust, a nice n\' rare SP1




THEN TRAGEDY STRUCK!
i had thrown a rod and my car was up for about 3months, saddest moment ever!


after all was said and done, i got a new rebuilt block.

the day it was back on the road


this is the first pic i took with my new camera



Then after not having it for a while i wanted to get her gifts, thus leading us into the...
BAD IDEA PHASE







end phase


then i put on my XS auto headers the NIGHT before i was leaving for my freshman year of college. ended up rushing and cutting to hastily and had a bad exhaust leak. and a lil bit after put heat wrap on the rad tubes
also i got one of the limited DCR 3points




then after a month or so, my engine quit on me while cruising around pittsburgh. had to tow it back home to the shop the block was built at in philly. ended up being a bad head gasket.



then i just started buying stuff while at school and putting it in

Looks like business.

why so much grain? high iso?

yup. old camera cant handle iso bumps, plus its in a dark garage and I have been playing around with more grainy photo's

I remember the old days when I absolutely hated grain..

This, right here, is paradise.. love it all Mike great job dude as always

Thinking of sprinkling some Time Trial events into this years event list so I can finally get some actual on track time.

Mar 15-16 - Summit Point Main Circuit (wdcr cca)

April 5-6 - Summit Point’s expanded Jefferson track (Philly SCCA)

May 3-4 - Summit Point Main Circuit (wdcr cca)

August 22-24 - NJMP Lightning (Philly SCCA)

Sep 13-14 – Summit Point Main (wdcr cca)


sprinkiling may be sparse since each event cost around $275

Its out in the wild now! Seems as if it will be around $800 for the Active Pro, which I would plan to get without the GPS unit.

oh god, it can control up to 8 motors.... rebound and compression.... This is a must once I buy my 2 front coilovers in a year or two....

jk, that's almost $1,250 if you get 8 motors....might be more like 4 years from now lmao

either way itll be an investment man hahaha


more details on the extension kit, which would probably be the better solution for the system to fit the ST204/ST202 without having to space the hood

very nice interior

Its like a daily driven racecar in there lol

Probably mentioned it way back when, but what harness bar do you have? I really like the way it's setup.

Thanks! Just a few more bits until its "finished"


basically -_-


I believe its just a universal one with custom welded brackets.

:drool:

Confetti? Must be a party! :yay:

Sick!!!!

nice, congrats!

What are you doing with your old seats? :3

Not a darn thing. Waiting on mounts for these seats and they won't get put in till April
