celica going through puberty:, one year anniversary today Options

[6th_celi_vert]

Just thought i would show some progression pics over the past year that ive owned this particular 6th gen.



First off, the tradgedy.

when i was 16, i bought my first 6th gen. LOVED IT. Sadly, i was more a ricer than anything because i couldnt afford anything else. I had a set of 17s on it, that was about it. Anywayz, to make a long story short...i ended up acting stupid and flipping it 3 times over a bluff.




fast forward 2 years later. Ive been driving a 1996 camaro, and hate the damn thing with a passion, i really want another 6th gen so the search begins.

i end up finding one just 13 miles from me hiding in barn! a 1995 Gt convertible 5-speed. PERFECT, exactly what i was wanting.

The day I brought it home:

It had a rebuilt title, but had been done professionally and desperately needed a paint job. It wasnt in the best of condition, but i had plans of changing all that.

After a complete tune up, magnaflow exhaust, and AEM intake, i had enough money saved to get my first paint job on the car. I also blacked out the tail lights.




Then I started looking for wheels, my friend upgraded his Srt with 18's, so he sold me his black powder coated stockies, i loved them and painted my calipers red.





Then i said "BYE" to the camaro.


And bought my Blitz bumper and D1 fenders.






then a few months later i purchased the VIS carbon fiber Zyclone hood, new convertible top, and New Shiny blue Subaru Dupont paint with HEAVY metallic flake.

I have just put my vader skirts and rear bumper on also, but i dont have any pictures of it just yet.
the car will be painted the subaru bluenovember
That brings us to today. I have just this week bought a CT-26 turbo, intercooler, and piping and am talking to Dr. Tweak about a swap. Hopefully, my motor will be in by march or april.






Thanks for the Support and everything 6GC, if it werent for you all, i wouldnt know what in the hell to do.
