summer plans for your celi, let's share Options

[cheela]

Summer's coming up so that means, blowing money on our cars. So, I wanna know what everyone's plan for their celi is over summer whether it's just filling up gas or paintjob or engine swap. let's hear it for some inspiration.

as for me, my bedroom is full of parts that desparately need to be put on. I got my OEM sideskirts in primer that will be painted soon and put on. Then, I also got some TRD springs but I"m gonna wait until I get some new struts to put those in. Also have ATE slotted brake discs going on soon. as well as an ebay 4-2-1 header and I'll have the shop put on a magnaflow exhaust too. all in all, i'm gonna be one broke mutha.

[96stgreendemon]

well my girlfriend will be home for the summer so i can do whatever i want to the car without getting yelled at, first im gonna get an axle back exhaust, most likely megan coilovers or ksports, and possibly projectors if i can find any

[flyinglizard]

Full exterior overhaul and then possibly a swap if I have enough funds left.

[Ted95]

Going to start my st205 swap, put my oem skirts on, ssIII splitters, install my sportline springs and kyb struts,and maybe get my TRD wing if I have enough money

[nics]

complete gt-four front end conversion with new paint. fix the A/C and get some megan coilovers.

[soulshadow]

I'm going to take my Tractor and crush the hella out of the celi so that NO ONE can use any parts left on it and then recycle it. You wait and watch, I'll even make a video!

[RocketScott]

I need to get caught up on some maintenence stuff and fix some broke stuff before I get to the extras. I'm picking up a new radiator today and I have new wheel bearings sitting in my shop ready to go in. Might need a new half shaft for the passengers side too. Hope it's just the wheel bearing making the noise.

For extras: Need new speakers (all 8 of them are blown). Going to go over the paint on the entire car and fix all the little dings, dents and scratches. Soundproofing.

Starting to think about a V6 swap...

[SwissFerdi]

Probably going to just give it an insanely good detail since I've never done one...buff, clay, etc. The whole nine yards.

My wheels are getting paint soon. If I run into some money, I'm buying a replica OEM hatch visor and SS-III and TRD splitters.

Little maintenance things and then probably new wheels and tires, header, intake, and then pampering.

[playr158]

matte color, hellaflush, di-noc wrap, VIP wheels, stretch n poke tires, yellow fogs, that JDM noob drive arrow sticker, angled 4" exhaust, hood pins, and a body kit.

I'm real work will show up eventually

[Stambo]

drive it into a river

[AuffyZ]

Looking to get some cf splitters or lips for my car that I actually like... and finally get the driver fender replaced and painted. later this month is planned for custom air intake and cat delete 3" exhaust with greddy can. Other than that some TRD racing lugs in red and then back in storage for the winter months! God that was a short summer!

why even post noberto?

the 3rd gen swap will be done by summer, so it will just be waiting for the new TRD wing to come in, and enjoying the car.

[Tom88]

Well i just booked the car in for a full respray on the 3rd of may. Going to repaint the wheels white and fit a facelift bumper once its been sprayed. Then just enjoy it for the rest of the summer

NO!

That was what made Luke's car unique, the front bumper and splitters and fogs.

[dabazied]

Exterior revamp & paint..... Slammin her....... And possibly a swap if I can get to it before summer is over.

[terbear4god4life]

also wanna see if i can drop my time too mid 15's using better tires

[samir0189]

figure out how to wire and fit preface fogs, possibly with HID's.

[Shigexile]

haven't done anything major on the celica for over a year so i plan on spoiling her this summer with:

Buying seat rails for the seats i have sitting in my room for almost a year
Buy, paint, and install EUROU front lip to finish exterior
buy cf to skin interior
install vincent's bling bling door sills i have sitting around for a while
Redo my gauge cluster back to white

if i have time and money left:
c-one front and rear strut towers
s/t front and rear sway bars

dream big guys, or else you won't get anything finished

[schmooot]

my summer plan is to drive it.......owned it for 6 months and have put a total of 50kms on it maybe

[blu94gt]

This summer I'm just going to tackle my growing maintenance list.

Tires
Rear wheel bearings
Brake pads/rotors all around
Tie rod ends
Possibly new struts, or a Megan coilover setup
New front fender liner
Finish homemade intake

And sometime give the car an all over detail, pull a few dents, do a ton of touchup work then wetsand and buff out the whole thing. Maybe debadge while I've got the buffer out too. Don't have a lot of cash for mods, just stuff I can work in as "replacement parts."

[Spider77]

Get my sideskirts sanded, filled, primed painted and installed. Along with the rear splitters. And hopefully get the ssIII fronts as well. Oh, and finally wire my fogs.

[richee3]

My summer plans are to completely turn this car around. A few of you have seen my newest Celica. At the end of this summer, I want people to see how far it's come. It won't be done or anything close to it, but progress will be made.

[yarik83]

My goal is to make a tribute to mstoochn. I want to have his quotes all over my car. That and if there is room to spare... definitely castrolcelica's words of wisdom about keeping one's car forever.

On a more serious note. I dont know. Currently shopping around for other cars and driving this one into ground.

[JuMPiiN]

I'm prob about to under go the BEAMs swap in my garage with 3 friends and a lift. When thats said and done respray my car white and get my rims done in black then im done until i save up more...

[hurley97]

Steering rack, bodywork and paint for the Beams.
Roll my fenders and put new tires on my car, finally.

[Giel-celica]

Putting the 2 post gt spoiler on the hatch.
Take the black euro splitters off and repaint them silver.
Paint the front window wipers black again because they have some small rust spots.
Putting new wheel bearing on the right front.
Change oil and filter, Gear oil, brake fluid and rear roll bar bushes.

[1994Celica]

If you must know, a little preview

Powdercoat, Spacers, Top, Upholstery.

I just dont want to jinx myself and end up not doing it.

[nics]

wire some fog lights

[BoostedGT]

TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN!

[TiGZ461]

replacing it. just maybe if I would've started with a gt it wouldn't have been all that bad, but after driving my st around for so long I can't stand this car. Love the looks but no longer attached to it, not even a swap would change my mind. I need change

Getting another 6gc or just going for a different car altogether?

[2celicas2love]

jdm tails, riser blocks, SSI grill, DIY kick out my bad dent (too broke to afford real bodywork) , and maybe a DIY crappy paint job since I can't afford one lol. Maybe the turbo set up for the 7a with Smaay so he can start supplying kits for 6gc 7a's

[TiGZ461]

I might be replacing it for good. But I've just found a RHD GT4 for sale I think it's at the same place Jim gets his engines from for $9k. Kinda interested, but if it's not that my mind is stuck with either a 350z, Audi TT, Saturn Sky Redline, G35, Supra or of course the IS300 I mentioned a while ago. If I upgrade it has to be rwd, or awd. Not rushing into anything though, I'll know what I when it pops up.
