Erik D's Progress Thread, 96 ST Coupe Options

[Ruroniarc]

Hey guys. I've had my Celica for about a year now. I joined this site not too long after I got it. I've finally settled on a look for my car, and now I'm working on getting there. I wanna thank everyone on these forums for helping me, you guys have really changed how my car is gonna look. So, here it is... right now I'm in stage one : Goodie Gathering.

Ordered about 200 dollars worth of misc stuff lately. Here are a few of the things I got. More things are on their way.

First: 7'th Gen Short Shifter


96+ Stock Fog Lights


Sound To Light LED Modulator -- I'll explain later



Things that are on their way...
LEDs for my gauge panel
Clock filters
10k HIDs

Things that I've already done...
Changed my climate control blue
Swapped out radio deck with a Sony Explode deck
Halfway shaved my antenna (tape over the hole until I get the rest of my body work done.)

Things that I still need to do...
Get TRD splitters (front and rear)
Get 404 Sides
Polish and paint my stock 15s, and get tires for them (Or get Enkei 5 Spoke rims)
Swap out drum brakes to rotors, and get all new rotors and pads.
Get my body work done, and get it painted (Color semi-decided -- Stock Toyota Super White)

My other project...
I don't like coupes because they don't flow as nicely as hatches, but this is what I got, and I don't have the money or time to get a hatch. So I have to live with what I got. So I'm going to modify my spoiler.

The plans - I'm going to remove the center post, and create custom riser blocks on the sides. I'm going to engineering school in about a month, so I should be able to fab something up on the 3D Printer or the CNC Machine.

So this is where I am now. This weekend I'm going to be installing the fogs and the short shifter. Wish me luck! I'll update this thread as I complete things.
