Hey Box,

I love the R1 Concepts setup I put on the Silver Celica, stops on a dime and looks good too. The pricing was rather competitive, especially since I went with the slotted, drilled, black rotors and ceramic pads. I couldn't find a better complete set.

As I told Sandusky 1977 aka rob about R1 Concepts, make sure to look up their ebay store rather than their actual website. fraction of the cost. They are amazing, I install them on all of my vehicles

My brother is also thinking about getting some Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, so let us know what you think.

He hasn't ordered brakes yet, but he was going to get them off eBay. He had to put it off because the Audi needed like $700 in parts to get it up and running properly again.

Today I took my car out for a drive to make sure everything is in working order for the track day this weekend. On the course of my travels I got to park next to a stock NA Mark 4 Supra. Here is a picture side by side.

Typical Supra owner, doesn't know how to park, at least this one is within the lines.

Repainted my TRD strut bar and about to sand down and repaint my hiro spoiler for the vert.

I installed new tie rod ends and sway bar bushings.

Today I. . . . . . . was walking around junk yards looking for a couple spare part for my Celica. I popped the hood of a Toyota Camry and look what I found.

A 1MZ-FE, ooooh how I would love to drop one of those into a Celica. This one looks like it needs some love but everything is there.

Last night I finally got around to replacing some of the rusty or corroded bolts in my engine bay. Tater pics!

^wrong thread. update your own thread. hahaha.

You’re not my dad!

Wow.

Anyway those are some interesting bolts, wouldn't imagine you could get much force onto them with the Allen key though.

You’d be surprised. I’ve torqued some recessed head bolts down far last what I could’ve done with a regular bolt in the past. Never in the Celica, of course, but good old Joy CM33 was an entirely different, much rustier, less reliable, more rugged piece of steel than then Celica is. In any case, these bolts don’t need any serious torque. They’re only holding one headlight tab, upper fender bolts, radiator clamps, washer fluid reservoir, etc. in place. Nothing moving or mechanical. Even so, the new grade 8 bolts are stronger than what Toyota used. I’m just replacing bolts because I’m tired of looking at rusty bolts though.

today i ordered a whittline adjustable sway bar for my gt4

Just ordered some new tires! And getting my wheels refinished.

so... this just happened yesterday.




got me this celi for Fuh REE.
not currently running but I'm waiting on the key to be mailed to me to so I can start tracing what could be wrong.
