Lose over 70 pounds, All new Celica Diet is sweeping the nation! 56k beware Options

[djultimate]

no, it's not really sweeping the nation.... just my garage.







bye-bye back seats! rear view




front view

Spare tire - 26.5 lbs
Jack/tools - 6.5 lbs
Rear seats - 32 lbs
Mounting brackets & hardware for seats and seat belts - 7 lbs


Seeing as how I'm a total F***tard, I broke some of the mouting hardware for the plastic pieces. Anybody have parts number for these or know where I can get them??



I actually had alot of fun tearing the car apart. Next step is to apply sound damper to pretty much the entire interior (anything metal). Then I plan on building a "floor" over the seats so it's level with the trunk space. That's where I will mount the subs, amps, caps, battery, and nitrous bottle (if i get nos)


Just got the car last week. It's a 94 ST hatcback. I also have a 2001 Nissan XTerra so the Celica is pretty much my hobby car. Haven't done much so far.
-I relocated the cigarette lighter to inside the arm rest...


The wire fits perfectly through the hole next to the coin thingie


Why would anyone do this? you ask.... because this panel is the perfect size and location for a bad ass switch panel.


Blue Clock



More to come soon. Blue instrument cluster and climate control lights are next.

What do you guys think

I gut mine in the summer. I've pretty much done everything in this thread. I've also lost/broke a lot of mounting hardware in the process. The best thing is I can throw it all back together in 30 minutes if I want to.

I was also going to recommend removing the sound-deadening tar but someone beat me to that.

However none of you are as hardcore as johnl from celicatech. He took his 91 GTS and stripped out about 450lbs from the interior and engine so he could autocross it. There was almost nothing left of the car. He welded in a steel post (from an old parking meter) across the dash (after he removed it) for rigidity, and I think he even relocated his power window switches to the center and mounted them on a piece of tupperware.
