6G Celicas Forums

The NC looks small from so far away.

Already picked out, waiting one of the owners to fully commit to sell and the one is definitely ready just trying to line our schedules together

Well hopefully they're not like me then, or you're screwed.

In positive news stretching and massaging has loosened things somewhat, can at least move the patella a little. Going to finish cleaning up the exercise bike this weekend and hopefully get it upstairs out of the basement.

Welp the owner decided not to sell, but that’s ok. I’m picking up my newest celica next weekend from rob

For obvious reasons, spectator photographers must be at quite a distance. There's a lot of body roll going on if you zoom. I'm too lazy to crop as my real rig is borked at the moment. Perhaps the official pics will be better.

Here's the guy that took my photo nailing a cone.

CONE KILLER!

So got the bike cleaned up and rode the bike for a bit until it started to hurt and then stopped. Maybe it'll help with loosening the tendons and ligaments throughout my legs and around my knees. I did try the clutch out in the Audi before just to see and I could probably use it all day without problems, so it's more the weight than the movement. Plus on the recumbent bike the pedaling motion isn't far off from the motion of clutching, so it's definitely weight/resistance that's the catalyst.

Saturday I get to pick up new addition!!!!!

Woo! New to you stuff is the best.

The wife and I tried our hand at vinyl wrapping. Looks good from a few feet away, but we definitely aren’t going to quit our day jobs. Before and after:

Doesn’t look bad, I love it

It has a few wrinkles in it so it doesn’t look great up close, but looks fine from a few feet. Next up is the bar across the grille. The rear bumper on the Trail has a similar valance that we’ll be wrapping black sometime in the next few days as well, so it will have more of a TRD Pro look.




Long term goal is olive drab green and black, like so:

I’m going to be taking a stab at wrapping my newest addition when I get it Saturday. I understand you pay for quality, but 2500 on low end for a wrap is kinda crazy, practice makes perfect

I completely agree. Fortunately the 4Runner is pretty flat. We picked one of the hardest pieces to start with. We got a feel for it about halfway through. Don’t be afraid of the heat gun and stretching the wrap. Hopefully your pickup will be easy to wrap!

yup. wrapping the 4runner shouldn't be too difficult as it's mostly flat. That's why I considered doing it on my RA29. 6gcs and supras are very curvy and don't have much straights/flats so it's a bit harder but still doable.

Boosted! And it’s a 6gc sooooo let the games begin

Well if you think about the cost of the vinyl to wrap a car, you'd have to **** up A LOT of vinyl to come anywhere close to paying someone else to do it. Really it's kind of insane, for what some want you could do a basic respray.

I've become really interested in this Autoflex stuff, it's like really nice PlastiDip: http://www.autoflexcoatings.com/showcase/

Side note been doing massages, stretches, and using the recumbent bike. Hopefully it's enough.

Richee you need to get yourself a trd pro grill on that.

Doesn't matter, I just noticed a bunch of spiders hanging over it so it has to be set on fire.
