Love the stance!!!

Haven't had any issues with the JJR Spacers?

[whatthe]

No issues at all with JJR spacers man. I like these rims more than my rotas, they are more subtle oem silver colour. Just the 6.5" width is crappy. But that may all change soon.

car looks awesome, keep it up. Not sure if I missed it, do you have any pics of the TRD seatbelt pads on there? maybe with the nice shift and ebrake leather too? I'd love to see that.

^ There's something to be said about a stock interior (mostly that I can use my iPod suckaaaaaa). Looked good Mr. Wong.

Your pedals are not stock...

Looking sweet though, my dream interior...someday

[HectortheRican]

Is that a TRD shift knob? If so, does it sit flush with the vincent_doggy shift boot? That ring on the top is a bit annoying in letting me find a compatible shift knob

Haha the only reason my gas pedal and brake arnt stock cause i use the covers for easier heel and toe

Na its not its a oem spec leather knob.

My dream interior setup is two red sparco/bride fixed bucket seats. Arc/skunk2 weighted shift knob. With a nardi deep corn steering wheel. And guages that serve a purpose for my 3sgte if ever haha.... Im not overly fussed about speakers and headunit if you havnt noticed already

purring 5s engine, throttle blipping heel-n-toe action, "moar lowar" rubbing, scraping, etc ... sounds like this guy has an entire orchestra.

^ I was so convinced my neighbors were going to be pissed. Good night eh pal?

My 20mm adjustable whiteline rear sway bar arrived today. Hopefully i have time on the weekend to put it on. Changes should be black and white, and i will be able to really test them when i get some new mofo tyres! Good times

Im ready for some more power. It just really isnt enough, illl be happy with another 50kw atw >< . Theres like 2nd gear to 3rd low range is good and then when it gets up high all it is, is revs and noise but the speedo is only climbing slow and i feel nothing.

What on my mind is also changing the brake pads to these efm ones i have that i got dirt cheap and see how they go and also bleeding the brake fluid, dont think its ever been changed in its lifetime!

Lookin good, I like how in the background of the video you can hear sway bars clanking around, haha.

[whatthe]

Long story short. Driving home in peak hour traffic, sitting stationary and i hear a BOOM behind me a second later i feel the car behind me run into my ass. Pretty ****ing furious i was in the car, got my ass out to look at the damage. Then smiled and giggled at how minor it was, pretty much just a imprint of the mazdas licence plate into my rear bumper.

It really got me thinking how easily cars can crumble at such low speeds, sure i know they are designed to take the impact so us ourselves dont have to. But the damage looks so major from a 25-40km/h nudge.
Another note thank god my projectors are fine and i didnt run into the end of the car infront, i tend to distance myself between me and the car infront for things like this. And this proves i should leave more space, and i urge everyone to do the same if you love your car!

Now going to get a quote on my friendly smash repair and get my rear bar resprayed and also my front bar too (might as well haha)

Something totally offtopic, does anyone know does a st20X hood fit into the back of a celica?

[HectortheRican]

Sooooo lucky! Oh man, that would've been terrible And when I was getting the facelift bumper home after painting it, I barely fit it in the back with the seats down. Same with the RH fender after I picked it up from paint. I don't think the hood will fit...

[SwissFerdi]

Lucky that your car came away mostly unharmed. I do the same, I leave space to either allow myself to move forward or even into another lane. I always watch the car behind me when it's coming to a stop, and the car behind that car as well.

[Defgeph]

I hate tailgaters !!! Glad their cars got beat up and not yours. Idiots.

[sunwukongg]

celica hoods wont fit in the trunk/hatch. ive tried :l

[mak5603]

Yeah, it won't fit, at least my ST205 hood didn't, best way to transport a hood in a celica is just put it on.
