here are some new pics of my attempt at custom door sills( i have new ones so i thought i would try something wit the old ones.)

Project iluminated door sills.
ok first remove the door sill, it pops right off, then i would clean it with some water and soap

< then note the position of the little space between the two plastic pices( you will be able to see wires)
this is where the light(i used an led) will be placed

<next mark the spot on the sill to show where the opening was under it (this is where u will cut out the lettering)

here are the tools i used,+ an exacto knife

it will need a little sanding but it looks ok

with your knife remove the small amount of plastic so the light will be able to shine through.

next i used a flat black spray paint to give it a beter look(keep in mind i never sanded the lettering down yet.


i will update more on how to install the light but as of last night they looked really cool!

[Johnnyny]

get that tip on and it will be good

[4-eyed-freek]

here are a few pics i took right before a bigs storm today, sorry im not the best at taking pictures

[4-eyed-freek]

heys whats new, at the last autox race i went to i kind of got made fun of because i was running street radials, so i took matters into my own hands and now there will be no laughing anymore! hahaha

project yokohama( celica 15 in rims and yokohama radial slicks)( they have about 50% left on them, they were raceed before i bought them for 30$ a pice)

[4-eyed-freek]

are advan and yokohama the same? does anyone know?

[mgnt232]

I may have to steal your pics and bring them to the shop. The exhaust doesn't hat on anything? or when the car is lifted?
Everywhere around me said that they dont bend pipe to the extreme that the stock is, and they said it would hit if it went under, but that was back when i was 16 so i just believed them lol. hopefully you can tell me differently

[Tigawoods]

nice rubber! cheap price too
advans are yokos

the only place the exhaughst hangs on is the muffler, and i was told it was going to hit the ground by the muffler shop so i brought it to another place and they said it would be fine, i have not had one probleme yet. do not listen to them it will be fine just as long as your car isnt droped so far. im sure it will work.

pm me if you have any questions

thanks! i didnt know if there was anything different from the two names. i hope the shed some time off.

[4-eyed-freek]

Nice tires awesome price, would love to see them in action.
Just a little fyi your tower bar is supposed to be horizontal not vertical it will make a diff. in accel/braking . Not to be mean but your not racing with those spring clamps are you?

[vincent_doggy]

I am gonna use this pics on my eshop front page, real nice.

[4-eyed-freek]

hey thanks! that means alot to me!

[Tech-Nics]

your car is SEX!!! I love Silver Celicas!!! The blocks look super clean on your car like it rolled out the factory with them on!

[4-eyed-freek]

hey thanks, i love the look of silver celicas also i love black ones.

yes i am still running with the clamps and i still have not had any problemes, no spring bend or anything. i just inspected them 3 days ago. i hope to get some coilovers when money comes into my life hahaha

[4-eyed-freek]

so we have some bad news, when putting on my new/old slicks one of them has a small leak so now i only have one, does anyone know where i can get a yokohama a005? or else i will have to get hoosiers, which i really do not want to do.

[azn87]

where is the leak coming from?? if it on the part where is meet the ground then its repair able or if it on the sidewall then buy another one

[4-eyed-freek]

its on the sidewall but after leaveing it, the hole got bigger and now the tire is shot, i even asked if we could patch it.


does anyone know if any of these will fit a stock 15 alloy celica rim?

Well if I'm reading that right that tire is 23.5" Outside Diameter x 13" wide x 15" Inside Diameter. I don't think you could ever get that on a 6" wide steely, but but even if ya had the right wheel I'm pretty sure it's not going to fit in the 6G wheel well either.

Roger

[4-eyed-freek]

hmm i dont know much about that kinda stuff so i thought i would ask. i have been looking for used slicks for 2 days now and i cant seam to find anything.

[RvA944]

I think the SCCA has a sell/buy section on there forum you might take a look there....

Roger

[4-eyed-freek]

cool i will take a look

[4-eyed-freek]

here are a bunch of pics from auto cross divisionals im milwaukee, and some pics i took at the locall park.
the day started off very wet.






times just went lower and lower until my final run of the day when i pulled it all together. i ran a 69.9
there was an mr2 with a v6 camery engine growling along.

[RvA944]

Looks like a really nice lot!!! WOW

And any time your last run was quicker then the previous run....... it's a good day!!

This post has been edited by RvA944: Aug 4, 2010 - 11:10 AM

[4-eyed-freek]

it was a two day event and on my last run i got a 68.900 which bumped me into 8th, wich is pritty good for running with street tires and haveing a fsp index.

[HectortheRican]

I like the work you've done so far! Keeep it up bro.

thanks! i was looking at your thred today, i love! the ssIII grill its the best!

[HectortheRican]

thanks! i was looking at your thred today, i love! the ssIII grill its the best!

Agreed! Even though it's an ST It still adds some flair though!

[4-eyed-freek]

personally it wouldnt matter if i had and st or a gt there both great cars i have driven both and the only difference is power. but as long as people are haveing fun thats what matters.

[HectortheRican]

Oh I don't care about having an ST either. It's just that the SSIII grilles are for, well, the SSIII's. That's kind of like telling everyone that you're an astronaut when really, you work at Pizza Hut. That's what I was getting at. I LOVE my ST. It's slow, but I get there in style.

[4-eyed-freek]

i have some kid that i went to school with tell me that i should go buy a real car and that my celica is slow as sh**t, he drive a grand prix with blue light woo hoo i could care less if he had subs and spinners, i personally think celicas are very sexy, under rated cars.

[HectortheRican]

Yeah, my friends always make fun of me, but they're just teasing. No one around here really knows much about 6gc's, so they just label it as a decently fast, mini-Supra looking car and go on about their way. But I agree, our cars have curves to spare

[4-eyed-freek]

EBAY HEADER BABY!!! finsally something to add a bit of power. i didnt want to chance anything so i have to wait till wen. to get it put in.

[HectortheRican]

Lucky! I have my header but I need to save up some more money to get a new cat. The previous owner welded it to the original down pipe -__-

[4-eyed-freek]

hmm sounds like he was reallly thinking when he did that

[4-eyed-freek]

here is a little project that anyone can do that i thought was pritty cool,
things you will need, 10 feet of wire.
2 led lights(any color) 12v.
a switch.
drill.
about 30 mins of your time.

here are the end results..



this is what its like in the light.



they didnt have blue so i thought red would stand out nice. it WILL NOT drain your electricity, i left them on all night. you get alot of looks when its parked on the side of the road.

[4-eyed-freek]

mhmm more goodies, cooper lites, prototype slicks, just what i needed for autocross. plus the header is finally in and im going to have to put another muffler in because its way loud!! but it looks so nice(only if it would stay those colors forever)








im going to go to the junk yard and look for some rims, paint them black and i will be good to go!

[4-eyed-freek]

i always wondered what my car really was before i found it, and today i finally found out. the kid i bought the car from, bought it from another college student who one night came home drunk and wanted to shave his door handles off, (hence the 95 white celica st doors on the car)... well he was so drunk he just ended up taking the door handles off all together. then im pritty sure he watched fast and the ferious one two many times and wanted a body kit, i thnk he was drunk again for this part(enuf said).... the car was sold by his parents to an auto place in town when the kid i bought the car from bought it there. the car had no door handles, only the dash and back seat were in the car, no hood, front bumper, or fenders. and one bad paint job with rust. then i found the car bought it last feb. and here it sits i my drive.( dont know anything about the car before the two owners i have just told about) im gettin there lol

[Stambo]

sounds like your car had a longg life

[mak5603]

That stinks, at least it has a owner that cares about it now. I bought my car from a female school teacher from Cali, haha. Needless to say it's changed A LOT since then. Good luck with restoring it and continuing the project!

[4-eyed-freek]

thanks guys! its been a long hall but overall im starting to reach the point of enjoying driving the car around and not worry to much about anything else. but i will never stop tinkering on the car.

[4-eyed-freek]

well it doesnt shock me to see that the people in my town are stupid, i found out today that my car was owned by someone who probably wasnt what the person who told me he was, really was. (srry travis, they told me one crazy story) and i shouldnt talk before i get the whole story. so lets start over shall we. my car was owned by a 6gc.net-er ..(TaKtikal_6G)
it was a parts car, and was then sold to the auto dealership in town. i had the pleasure of meeting travis today and he seams to be very keen with 6gc's. (sorry if the post above affainded you, thats what i was told by the owner before me.) other than feeling like a fool now.. chears!

[4-eyed-freek]

here we go again.. sitting around and i go and buy stuff haha.. here is whats new.


also i got a license plate thing-y lol .. new brake fluid and pads. cant wait for autocross either woo

[HectortheRican]

I would probably get the TRD oil cap, haha

And I have Tom's seat belt pads, I don't use them though..

This post has been edited by HectortheRican: Sep 11, 2010 - 4:28 PM

[4-eyed-freek]

are the toms ones nice cuz i was going to get a pair for the back seats if you wouldnt mind selling them depending the price.

[HectortheRican]

They look nice, I just don't really like seat belt pads. Problem is, they're back home in Texas. I can see if my mom is willing to pack them up in a small box or something.

[4-eyed-freek]

here is whats new, last weekend i went to autocross with my freind who has a black 94 celica st. it was wet and cold grrr!! but very fun.
this is the first run of the day, yup its started to rain hard right as i pulled up to the line.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfjOEGe6Qug

here is what im spending my money on, new pads all around pluss i machined my rotors in school, it will all be done thursday.



and i got my trd pads in, they dont look half bad.



i will post more pics and video later, off to school right now.

[4-eyed-freek]

here is a video of the first run of the second heat. srry the videos dont start rightaway. just fast forward a bit lol.

[hatchy_gt-s]

IMO I would have gone with better brake pads over trd oil cap/pads...

This post has been edited by hatchy_gt-s: Sep 21, 2010 - 10:35 PM

[4-eyed-freek]

it doesnt matter to me, the ones i had took out were way shot so anything new would be fine, and for 75$ i do beleive i bought the more high end pads without going and spending alot, plus i am a college student at uti so i dont have all the money in the world to spend lol.

[4-eyed-freek]

here is my old pads proof that they needed replacement hahahah!!!! oh and did i mention my class work partner sheared off my bleeder screw after i told him not to touch them!

[4-eyed-freek]

i just moved to chicago for school, while cleaning out all my stuff i found an sd chip so i pluged it in and found these lol!! the first pics i ever took of my celica.. lookin all clean and sharp!

[4-eyed-freek]

just turned 346 xxx on the silver bullet this morning! just the break-in stage muhahahaha

[HectortheRican]

[4-eyed-freek]

a long night and alot of lost coolant ive been working on the coolant bypass, and running hose to the cooler and back but i had a few bad goes at it lol. first of all i didnt tighten down the hose clamps so i made it 100ft before i lost some coolant. then i drove it around the block a few times and noticed that it was dripping here and there, so i opend the hood and saw another line that i didnt clamp down was leaking so i shut the car off and went to push the line into place and BOOM,... SLPASH... AHHHH!!!! FU*&^*K... yup i got a 100degree+ shower on my face and arms.. so i wait for it to cool clamped it down and slowley brought it home. tomarrow im going to go get a bunch of clamps and othere little things to finish it off, but whats cool is it works! woo hoo, minus the slight burns i now have..... mother was not happy when i woke her up to tell her.

[HectortheRican]

I have 8000K HIDs and I LOOOOOVE them

[4-eyed-freek]

the # of people i have ticked off so far with them is just crazy.. so many people flash me now hahah

[HectortheRican]

Lol me too. It's worth it. You know, technically it's illegal to have HIDs in reflector housings.

[4-eyed-freek]

yea, i love the feeling of breaking the law a bit...makes me feel like a bad a$$ hahahahah just kidding

[4-eyed-freek]

[Euphoria]

just passed 350xxx on sunday! still running strong!

350 000 miles? thats nuts, I was thinking my car was getting old at 250k km's lol.

[4-eyed-freek]

never gets old lol...only like 200 more miles and im already at 351k. people can call it a rice burner all they want but they wont ever get the gas millage or millage out of there cars that we do.

[Zake]

[4-eyed-freek]

i will take some pics and post them.

[4-eyed-freek]

[richee3]

Looks good! That's a nice touch. My IS has everything wrapped in cloth in the interior. Kind of makes me want to wrap quite a bit of the Celica's interior like that. You beat me to it.

[4-eyed-freek]

i dont think he trusted the road too much, nor did i since there was a snow storm earlier that day.

[4-eyed-freek]

yea it was snowing a bit and the roads were wet and slick...plus my car is an automatic so i put in 2.

[4-eyed-freek]

wooo sway bar enlinks!! cant wait to get them when i get home!

[sunwukongg]

i like that youre really enthusiastic about your car. but in my opinion i think you should go for a stock front bumper and stock fenders. itll totally clean up the look of your car and make it look A LOT better..your car right now just reminds me of a snake cause the fenders look like scales and the front bumper looks like it has fangs..lol but that's just my opinion. not like it matters. lol

any updates? how are those sway bar end links treating you?

[sunwukongg]

i am letting him be. that's why i said its just my opinion. and thats why i said my opinion shouldnt matter. if he likes his car the way it looks than good for him.

check out a junkyard

[4-eyed-freek]

yea, there are a few by me so this weekend im going to search for some goodies!

[4-eyed-freek]

ok, it been awhile sence i have posted on here, i have done a few little things here and there to the car, nothing major. but over all.....im frustrated., beyand belief. i have been now trying to find a stock bumper and fenders, and its impossible. i have searched all the junk yards, online, pritty much everywhere, and nothing!(orelse they want way to much for it) its gotten to the point where i want to just take my front end off say heck with the police and drive the car with no front end. i have a friend with a stock front end but he wont come through and make the deal i asked him, so its been about 2 months now and no luck..... F#@$%K!!!
