Well, what's everyone's next/current projects? Keep it real and not dreams please.
Right now, I'm working on getting together with some friends to get my Tein S-tech springs on. After than I'm going to be putting on my lip kit and getting it painted, vice versa actually. Then I need to find a spoiler. Also, I'm working on buying some 7th gen GTS rims. And, I'm waiting to get my Street Glow gold series neons working cuz a tube got shattered. Pretty soon my car should look like the little manga car I drew in paint with the spoiler. Today I will be tinting my tails.

Next?

Gotta get my car painted. As soon as thats done I'm going to do the NA power thing. Get my head worked on and buy this block. And get the cams done. Should give me alittle more speed & keep the car reliable.

After i finish my celica and move out the house, which i should not b spending money and just concentrate on this, i'm going after some old school big block power. I may buy my friends falcon w/ a 351 in it. And make it a drag car but i dont know. I think i'm going to need a bigger block than that. We'll just have to wait and see what i can get ahold of.

I'm currently working on: One AE86 SR5 to GTS conversion (built smallport 4AGE), two GTS motor swaps (one 87 AE86 and one 90 AE92, replacing a siezed motor and one with rod failure), tranny replacement for an EK9 hatch. I have like 4 4AGE's around the shop, a 4AC, a K20A3, a Civic D16 tranny, and we just recently finished a DA6 (for the third time) and a JDM B16B swap into an EG6...

As for the Celica... de-tuning her down a bit for daily driving. I'm also looking to buy/trade for an JDM ST202 from a dude in WA, which might turn into something, but I'm not gonna hold my breath on that one. I'd soooo love to build a 3SGE powered 6th gen... but options are limited... aside from that... juggling 2 jobs and awaiting school...
Consynx
simple and plain:
finish up exterior styling w/ little susp work:
Tint, JDM Projectors, Gunmetal Wheels w/ reg. lip, Tein SS Coil-overs, License Plate Shaved, Tail Light Covers.
boosted_K2
its no celica but:

1. finish the current project and get it running again
2. New exhaust (possably custom dual exhaust with 2 veilside or blitz cannisters)
3. New seats and steering wheel (most likely sparco for both)
4. Massive turbo upgrade project.

New axles! Yay!
Then saving money. School is expensive.

Well this sunday, I am going to start putting on the pakfiefer rear end thats made for a hatchback on my coupe. I thought for now I will use rivets since I can grind them off easy and warp the panels with my heat gun until they stay in place. I will then mold it in and fabricate(make them longer) the sides a la "neverstop". Im trying to trade my playstation 2 for my ex's camera. I need the camera so I can take pics.

Well, the car is waiting to go in for paint on the 26th to get the TRD wing, 'rare' ViS sides, and OEM extensions installed/painted. Once it gets home, hopefully around the 28th if all goes as planned at the paint shop it'll be time to do some suspension work. I already have new struts for all four corners (KYB GR-2s), and Ground Control coilovers ready to go on. Haven't decided if I'm going to try and tackle the task myself, or just let my mechanic do it. I think it'd be a good experience and that I have to start somewhere, so I'm looking into buying some nice jacks and the rest of the necessary tools. After the suspension is on, I have wheels to take care of. I already bought a set of MSR mesh wheels off of LatinKraze. He had said that one tire was flat but it turned out the rim was cracked, so I just got the rim repaired (on a side note, LatinKraze is a great guy, when I told him about the crack he actually PAYPALED me the money to cover it) and they're waiting to go on. Along with the strut installation I'm putting on the cusco rear strut brace. Once all the stuff I have (all that is mentioned above) is installed I plan on working on brakes/suspension some more. Looking at investing in some suspension techniques sway bars, along w/ doing the rear disk brake conversion (my car is an ST). Hopefully get a DG_Performance front strut brace, and then I'll go from there. Maybe next summer an engine swap or something, we'll see.

right now i'm saving up for my next project cuz it's gonna be a big one - i've decided to do everything at once next:

- tein coilovers
- strut brace
- sway bars
- 3sgte swap - either xatracing or local shop
- paint job

I am still purchasing equipment for my audio install.

I still need to get:

2 8" kicker subs for the doors
1 capacitor
2 10" audiobaun subs(dont rag me I cant affor what I want)


then once I have purchase these things I will do some fiberglassing, some cutting and some drilling to make my enclosure. But first I am going to sound deaden my doors and trunk area. I will also be making a false floor to where one of my after market will be visible.

IT WILL BE SWEET WHEN I AM DONE


After this I think my suspention will need to be upgraded I am thinking KYB GR2 and Aerospeed coilovers. Also some stuff from DG so that my handling will be greatly improved this will prolly be in December sometime or when ever I get to to it.

I have hood scoop that I want put on but before I do that I need a new front bumper(C-one replica). Then some side skirts and a rear lip. Then finally a paint job either blue or yellow I have not figured out which one but I am leaning toward yellow.

When I get her back with the 3sgte, body kit is next. I am having a very difficult time deciding on what to do. After that, its seats. Next year I will probably upgrade the turbo to a ct20b but I want to see how she feels with the ct-26 first.
turboinduction
Current Project:
TEIN springs
KYB struts
vented disc brakes
stainless steel brake lines

All in my garage waiting for me to have a day off wink.gif

Future (November - April projects)

Exterior-
Full bodykit (Blitz front/Z glide side/TRD extensions/ GT4 spoiler)
Custom hood by me (i'm not telling tongue.gif but its gonna be sweet)
Bullet fenders

Interior-
Custom paint job (was planning to do this project this month, but time is narrow and I'd like it do it when She's outta commission this winter - Two tone. Black on top, silver accents, dark metallica grey for bottom)
Autoleathers.com leather seats.
Momo crazy with wheel, knob, pedals, and boot
Sony Xplod everything (this might get bumped to next month if I have time ... parts are already in the garage)

Engine-
This is a toughy as I haven't quite desided what to do as of yet. I have about 10-20 grand to blow on a vehicle come November. I'm either gonna get a small truck (Ranger) or another car (MR2 / Solara). I've I get the MR2, I wont do much performace to the Celica as the MR2 will be my performace machine. If I get the Ranger or the Solara, I will build a turbo 5S with 250-300crank HP. Using all kinds of stuff. I'll have to think more on this over the next month.
Supersprynt
Swapping out the GT tranny for an MR2T tranny with LSD and a Clutchmasters Stage 4.
Front Mount Intercooler Setup
Water Injection
Upgraded Turbo

A lew of recent events some of thats being put on hold because my brothers n/a MR2 basically blew up so we're going to take that out, bore it, perhaps stroke it too, and put it back in.

The bummer with a project, is you it always cost so much more then you expect. Then crap break and you gotta fix that first...

-some acesseries to my nitrous
-get the damn nitrous hooked up
- side skirts

Then I'm done.
celicarocker

BLINKYxMUNKEY
next project for me is lowering my car. Ground Control coilovers w/ Koni shocks. Then when that is done, Im going to work on my system which i already have subs for, but no amp or wiring and will be builing a box for it. also, in the plans is think of a body kit or atleast get sideskirts.

Im in the process of building my own tail-lights using the body of the OEM tails. Then I am swapping the high beams with the low beams, and putting a turn signel in the high beams (outer lights.)
After that I am putting a cover over the area where the rear licence plate is located, and finaly putting a body kit on.

I have alot more planned!
