Tigawoods' 1995 Celica, Racing n Stuff Options

[Tigawoods]

after a long (in my eyes) hiatus from June 2012, finally back on the road





So here is the story of my celica.




so i dont get to ramble on too much, lets start out with the first picture i took of my car back in 2006 when I got her.


the first mod that i did was my JL speakers all around. nothing special. i wasnt too much into the whole 6gc scene until a little bit after.

i then stripped the hub caps and started putting every sticker i found on that car!







then i had finally gotten into the 6gc scene and started to mod her. first things first, a $70 weapon r intake from a fellow member. needless to say i felt badass installing it seeing as how it was my first mod.

after that came exhaust, a nice n\' rare SP1




THEN TRAGEDY STRUCK!
i had thrown a rod and my car was up for about 3months, saddest moment ever!


after all was said and done, i got a new rebuilt block.

the day it was back on the road


this is the first pic i took with my new camera



Then after not having it for a while i wanted to get her gifts, thus leading us into the...
BAD IDEA PHASE







end phase


then i put on my XS auto headers the NIGHT before i was leaving for my freshman year of college. ended up rushing and cutting to hastily and had a bad exhaust leak. and a lil bit after put heat wrap on the rad tubes
also i got one of the limited DCR 3points




then after a month or so, my engine quit on me while cruising around pittsburgh. had to tow it back home to the shop the block was built at in philly. ended up being a bad head gasket.



then i just started buying stuff while at school and putting it in

SPENDING PHASE

installing hid\'s in february

then she sat for a while, not being modded, she was content

just thought i'd let you know the Hankook Hyper Drives are coming up, at Hyperfest at summit point race way!!! it may be a distance for u, but it's soooo worth it and i highly recomend it! $40 for 20 min session, you can sign up for as many as you want! basically a HPDE or track day, but instead of paying $250+, it's $40!!! register soon if you want a spot. choose from 4 sessions i think. I'll be there, but i donno if i'll race cuz idk if my celica will hold up :-/ if not, i'll be taking pics!

Hyperfest Home page my friends went last year, and they said it was awsome!!

[Tigawoods]

oh yeah! i forgot about that! im going to look into it, ill let you know.

wish me luck. im off to the races
summer event #1

[Tigawoods]

got first. there wasnt too much competition though
just me and one other guy.
an 81 BMW 320i
the guy had a butt load of driving experience.
he was stationed in japan. had an R32, did gymkhana and raced on the mountain roads with his buddies.
i underestimated him at first.
Me&BMW

Heat 1: 92...... 87
Heat 2: 86...... 85
Heat 3: 84...... 86+1
Heat 4: 83.4.... 83.8

i had to leave early so i didnt get my trophy
i hope for the 2day Holbert Memorial Event next weekend, more FSP's come out of the woodwork. it kind of sucks not having any competition. then i dont know how im doing

last weekend i was about one second behind a older civic. Its so hard to keep up with them because their so small. The course was mostly really tight turns. I did manage to beat a prelude though. So i was happy about that.

[Tigawoods]

sooo tired

here are 2 pics





details later

[rj8807]

idk bout you, but I like to run the course with my EYES OPEN more then closed. Idk, i just run better lol

nice pics. cant wait to here details! oh ps, good job on the first event! do you have video?

[Tigawoods]

hahahaha i didnt even see that LOL

ive been super lazy taking videos haha.

ive started to compete at the Susquehanna region because there are more people in FSP.
here are the results for the first event i attended
http://scca-susq.com/results/2009/09-06-07-axresults.html
i made a mistake by running in the 1st heat. the top 3 cars ran in the 3rd so i didnt get to see how that ran and actually better my time compared to them...i dunno whatever haha

i like being behind. gives me room to grow


next weekend is going to be a biiiig weekend for myself and my car
