kurts progression thread, super clean dd mode (toy for the wife) Options

[kurt95gt]

so decided that I would do this instead of posting all over the place like I have been

start with a small back story of me an the car
my names kurt im 22 an been in love with cars for as long as I can remember my grandpa was big into muscle cars an use to race nhra drag cars when it was still small lol and he got me into cars young it all started with a 71nova (witch I still own since he has past away) an once I was old enough to drive I I bought my first car a 89 s10
an went crazy trading for a few then got my first job an got my first import a 94 celica st witch I loved but had to sell since a car seat wouldn't fit so ended up with alot of hondas but London story short 30 cars later I got my 95raise celica witch is what I wanted an have no need for anything else
I sold my last honda an bought the celica for 2500the in almost perfect shape with only 173000 miles on her
(beat my old civic in 4 different trys on the way home) since then I've found this site an found alot of things I loved to do
but enough with all of that
on to pics


the day I got her

the first time with her at the track still bone stock an ran 16.5

the first mods new header sri an rims

got bord an painted the rims an tinted some stuff

finally got my exhaust done 2.5 inch with no cat or resonator gotta love no emissions checks

quick photo op with my old civic



redone my console with custom gauge pod with mini gauges an homemade shifter boot (just ripped stitching out of old boot an copied the different peaces) an add some corning fiber overlay in

decided to sell the 17s an got stock 05 gt rims

last night I decided to put mudflaps on for little bit of a rally look
so that's how she set for now I thanks for reading
let me know what you guys think
