6G Celicas Forums

so here's what been going on in the past few days:
I've installed the weapon-r intake on my car and it sounds pretty nasty.
On the silver celi, I've take out the crash bar, frame rail adapters, a/c compressor, alternator, fuse/ relay boxes, radiator, a/c condenser, windshield washer fluid holder, cruise control, and some other odds and ends.


Here's how it's going with the radiator support (it's almost off, just a little bit more of cutting)
Tomorrow it will be off and will get bolted onto my car, then after that's on, everything else will go on for a mock up and then test drive!






So far so go! I have about 8 hours on my hands tomorrow so I'm really hoping I can get a lot accomplished!

Alright so today I got the radiator support off and got it onto my car! I'll be having my neighbor welding it on sometime next week. As for right now it is bolted on, but it holds very well.
I completely mocked up the front end just to make sure everything fit before I have the rad support welded on. So far, so good! The only thing i didn't mock is the hood because it the last part to go on and I can't do it by myself.
Also, I have the aftermarket intake on and it sounds veryyy sweettt!

Here are some pictures from earlier today when I was working on it:


So I fixed the hole in the fuse/ relay box by just replacing the box, I didn't mess with any of the wiring thank god!:

So that's it for today, not going to be able to work on it until Wednesday =[
Going to visit R.I.T. out in NY.
Leave some feed back!

ah so this is why you had a radiator support lying around. Good thing you kept it! Car looks great, bet you cant wait to have it all back together

Yeahh lol I actually have two now because I took that one off the silver celi and put it on my car and the red one is from a junk yard car. I'm hoping I can get some of the money back for it!

Here are some updates for you guys on my progress.
Not much has been done to my car because I'm waiting for the radiator support to be welded on, which should be on saturday.
I've pretty much been doing all the work to the Silver Celi.
I know you guys know how they usually look when everything is intact, but here it is mostly disassembled:






Looks pretty nice eh?
She drives way better and is soooo much more comfortable now. The interior was specially made in Germany and I just love it! haha
But on a serious note, I like the interior without all that colorful sh*t in it.

Here is all that I've done to my car:
(just placed the hood on it to see how it lines up)







So even after the crash, everything still lines up great! I'm soooooooo freakinn happy!
After the welding, everything is going back onnnnn and she'll be back on the rode.
Oh yah, almost forgot that I'm putting the silver doors on my car because there's way less rust.

More updates as I progress more!
