So, after talkin it through with alot of my friends, parents, family, etc. I decided that Im gonna keep my celica. Im gonna still be taking it off the road for a few months. So i decided that while its off the road, and im working im gonna put some $ into the car to get it back up to par of where i want it. So i decided to do a list of things i need to get done with the car. My goal is to have it all done by august 1st. So...pretty much, i need to get all of this done in the next 5 months or so.

Tint windows, re-upholster/re-cover rear seats, fix seat back *amp pulled the backing of my rear seats off cuz of its weight*, move amp *obvious reasons*, get oem strut bar covers for rear, weld up e-brake bracket *part of it got ripped off and i gotta tig weld it back into place*, clean up/paint calipers, buy new/used rear controll arms, recondition controll arms, install control arms, get new window gaskets and install them, get new drivers side vent, re-paint interior plastics, get jdm tails, get jdm projectors, fix wobbel in shifter *gotta tighten down the bolts*, new sway bar end links for front, get new wheel bearings on all 4 corners, wrap up exhaust and intake piping in heat wrap, re-vamp intake, fix door rust and hatch rust, undercoat car, clean up rear strut bar, get new TRD plate frames, fix paint chips and blemishes, de-badge rear, new front strut bar *probably cusco*, install gauges, buy DCW single pod, paint and install 5th gen mirrors, get new sunroof, re-do headliner

So, the list starts tomorrow....first step stage 3 of my celica. wish me luck

recent update: Last friday i did my rear brakes, and wheel bearings. Took 3 hours cuz of the stupid wheel bearings. If you see my post about how to installl them, you'll see why. Any ways, so thouse got installed, car drives 1000 times better. So i drove home, get home go to put my good rims on, find my CV boot blew apart. So i tryed to fix it with some zipties...didnt work and ended up blowing my boot completely off. So that kinda sucked, but what sucked more was Nader and i went out to the local Toyota Nation meet, and some duche bag with a crappy paseo hit my door with his and left a nice scratch. But plus side to it, the guy gave me $100 in fresh $20s to fix it..lol. So any ways, havent done much to the car this week because i havent had any time..plus the weathers been weird..it was +20C yesterday and today its -3C and snowing. Yeaaa...gotta love canada. So tonight i spent a bit of time finsihin up the wiring on my gauges. Unfortunatly the t-fitting i made/got for my oil pressure sending unit doesnt work. So i have to wait on gettin a new one. So i installed the volt, and A/F and ran the wires for the Oil pressure but its not hooked up. I also got rid of alot of my old hackjobbed wiring from when i first got my car. So any ways, heres a pic and some videos of the gauges. Im thinkin my O2 might be messed up now because I was gettin a check engine light coming on yesterday and today when i get the gauge hooked up..it keeps bouncing for no reason. So im thinkin my 02 might be on its way out. Good thing i tapped into the main harness not the 02 wire. So any ways, enjoy. Next week, sway bar end links, polyurethane mount bushings, poly urethane strut rod bushings and new tattoo..lol




Just remembered too, i wrapped my short ram in DEI header wrap to keep the temp down *headers are stupid hot even wrapped*. Its nice cuz the engines got a bit more throttel response and it also brought the sound of the short ram down more, so now its mostly the exhaust you here. You'll hear how quiet the car is in the videos.

EDIT: First video, the car was shut off for about 4 hours..so the O2 was really cold..hense the no reading.
