What means GT???
p.s. Nice ride!!!

Usually 'Gran Turismo' In the states, it usually symbolizes the sport package. But we're not lucky like almost everyone else in the world who were lucky enough to get SSII, SSIII, and GT-Four without having to mod their Celica out like crazy. We got stuck with ST (base package) and GT (sportier package)

[SwissFerdi]

Nice pick up. Looks like the paint is indeed in pretty good condition. Mileage?

Good luck with it.

[Lenny]

156xxx miles on it. i'm gonna need some brakes soon. the squeaking is getting annoying lol. oh i forgot to tell you guys i pick it up last Wednesday.

I've never seen GT celicas in our region. But I've made such one by my self =)))

sweet i can always use some spare parts. lol oh just a heads up there is goin to be an open forum bbq held at griots garage in tacoma wa on the 8th of august.

[Lenny]

update: I put my car on the track at yesterday's auto cross. we had a total of 4 runs. first 2 runs were thrown away because of timing issues that said i did the course in 87.685 sec and 91.257 sec. the mishap gave me 2 reruns and i spun my 2 run. my fastest time was 62.764sec. not bad for a bone stock car on a technical course.

[Lenny]

so i was bored and snapped a 2 shots of my car in the griots garage parking lot. here are the pics

[Lenny]

found out what my wheels are. they are MB wheels Drifter. here's a link

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/w...amp;tmn=Drifter

[Lenny]

so i ordered wheel spacers last week and ordered tenzo r lowering springs today and some rear struts to. look forward to a big change coming up within the next few weeks

[mgnt232]

GL with the projects keep us upadeted!

[mak5603]

nice! what wheel spacers you go with?

[Lenny]

16mm spacers. So i got the struts 2 days ago the spacers yesterday. And my springs today so come sunday i will hopefully have it all done.

[Lenny]

so finished putting on the stuff minus the wheel spacers. here are some pics



front of the car


rear of the car


before the drop


doing the left rear




new left rear strut and spring

as it sits for now. it still needs to settle.

will take more pics tomorrow.

[ZGear]

For another clean white celi!

[SwissFerdi]

Feels good to put fresh struts and springs in eh? Makes it feel like a new car, partially. Congratulations.

[Lenny]

For another clean white celi!

Thanks!

yes it does. no more body roll. now i gotta test it out on the track.

[Lenny]

picked these up from a friend



now i just gotta get some tires.

[HectortheRican]

NICE! I love those GT-Four wheels. I think they're better than the 7th gen GTS ones.

[Lenny]

agreed

[SwissFerdi]

Y'know what, I think those are going to look sweet. Painting them a different color?

[mak5603]

Lookin sweet, can't wait to see it in person.

[Lenny]

the rims are goin to be painted but for now i'll leave them as is. Still need some tires for them. 225/45/16 is the size of tire it takes.

[Lenny]

so i got tires for the st205 wheels and they're goin to be mounted later this week. and got another set of wheel spacers.

[Lenny]

so after a while with no internet i'm finally back. let me tell ya havin no internet access sucks. i miss all the updates and info of what's been goin on and just throws me off. As for what's been goin on with me i've been havin some fun on the track with my car. here are some pics






^ I'm the one on the 3rd place podium

[delusionz]

Car looks great, damn thats some major nose diving there though, gotta stiffen the rear and raise the front a tad

[StylnPlane]

What means GT???
p.s. Nice ride!!!

It means Grand-Touring

GT- Grand Touring
SS- Super Sport (GM Term)
RS- Rally Sport (GM Term)
R/T- Road/Track
SC- SuperCharged
TD- Turbo Diesel
TDI- Turbo Direct Injection
LS- Luxury Sedan
I(BMW) - Fuel Injected
Ugh.. I could go on forever.
But thats very unnesessary!

[Lenny]

yeah i'm thinkin about gettin better suspension once i save up some money. maybe some ground control springs with some adjustable koni's would do as a budget minded upgrade.

[jordisonjr]

Your passenger rear wheel is off the ground

[Lenny]

yep . took it to an autocross event this past monday and was lifting the rear tires off the ground goin through a sweeper. wish someone got a pic of it though.

[Lenny]

autocross from monday 5-30-2011


^ Me goin around the last turn


^2012 GT-R awesome seein that out there. owner's name is Eric. really awesome guy gave ride alongs to whoever wanted to experience the ride.


^ My friend Matt and his Xrunner.

[v1becelica]

^ My friend Matt and his Xrunner.

Want one of these so badly! Such a great truck, and so fun to drive. Not as fun as the Celiiii though

[block]

what do you mean it's not fun? it's faster than the celica lol. drove one and it's very nice.

[Lenny]

it's pretty fast around the track. He or his truck i should say is somewhat banned from the S.C.C.A national autocross until they find out what category to put him in. last year he almost blew his competition away. he was competing in the lowest class of S.C.C.A goin against regular minicoopers and civic hatch backs and cars of the sort. lol

Actually it means Grand Touring but Gran Turismo is what is used in like Europe. But in the end, i believe Grand Touring derives from Gran Turismo so i guess we're both right.

[Lenny]

so this past sunday i went on a car cruise around town (Tacoma, Wa). ended up at a pretty cool arcade downtown called dorky's arcade. most expensive game there was only 75 cents. had tons of fun.

here are some pics

new strut tower brace.

[Lenny]

so i had a choice to hit a dog or hit a curb. I chose to hit a curb.

on the lift at work


the wheel


the lower control arm & ball joint


i've managed to get replacement parts and got my car back on the road. everyone said i should've hit the dog but my instinctive reaction was to avoid it. i'm really glad that the wheels weren't the st205 wheels.

[rave2n]

oie that looks painful

[Lenny]

my co worker said that i'm lucky i'm not dead. if i hit a bump just right the whole thing would've came apart. the only thing holding it together was the control arm being wedged into the dust shield or backing plate if the brake disc.

[RabidTRD]

What kinda struts? If you're going autocross, I'd recommend urethane swaybar bushings too. With mine, I can kick my rear out without using the handbrake now.

[Lenny]

they're just stock replacements right now. i'm lookin into getting a set of ground control coil overs with a set of adjustable Koni shocks. once i have enough money i'll be able to take first place overall instead of third. lol but yeah the car handles pretty well for stock replacements and the alignment set up make the car tail happy. It's about 2.5 degrees of negative camber in front, close to negative 2.0 in back. as for tow settings i'll need to take a look at the alignment sheet.

Looks nice man! Im diggin the blocks.

@KAOS, i would man, but unfortunately my schedule is super busy for the next couple months. One of these years I intend to drive up for that meet.

[Lenny]

thanks man! and i agree one of these days i'm goin to find time to go to the Ogopogo meet.

[Lenny]

did some autocrossing this past memorial day weekend. here's a vid of a fun run. remember to keep racing off the streets take it to the track.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txzXdaNibc0

[Lenny]

just a small update. Ordered some wheel spacers for the rear to fit some new rims on the car. now just need tires for the wheels. pics of the "new" wheels will be up soon.

[SwissFerdi]

Nice autocross run!

[Lenny]

thanks! i'll get another one up after the 29th of this month. should be interesting since it's the middle of the season and everyone is goin to run harder to get a podium.

[Lenny]

new wheels 18in Axis.

[smkr3w]

I WANT those wheels sooo bad.
very nice!

[Lenny]

thanks! got them from my friend 2 months ago. came off a subaru. i have to run spacers front and back. i think around 25mm in front and 32mm in back. if not the wheels up front interfere with the brake caliper. but it does give the car a nice flush look.

[Lenny]

finally got done with uploading vids from last months autocross. everyone i meet says that my driving style is smooth. let me know what you guys think.
