Here are the wheels (slightly dirty from new brake pad brake dust) and my new rotors! They're beautiful

Ah man sorry to hear about the spoiler. But seeing how fast you're going with all this you can recover in no time! btw sexy rims.

Thanks about the rims, I like them too .

Yea, it'll be fixed in no time. I have a dead line of next month for this ALL to be done, so I'm rushing through this asap. Plus I'm impatient, so I do this with everything I make.

hey man if you ever need any help just hit me up im just over the river and Im always in cbus doing a promotion at BoMA or Spice.

Awesome, I'd really appreciate that whenever you get a chance. I have some headers to install that I need help on and eventually (hopefully, if the guy contacts me again) some new seats. If you have some stuff to work on as well, I'd also be more than happy to help. I travel all around the state for a volunteer group I'm in anyway.

wat kind of seats r u getting

Absolutely jack now lol. The guy who was trading me the seats for my parts bailed on it without letting me know. I have some white and black seat covers I could use I guess. We'll have to see. I'd honestly like something a bit nicer that what I have currently. To be honest, I'd just be happy if the seats I had could be fixed. I have a couple ripped seams on the side showing insulation, but other than that they are quite nice.

We'll see. Money is getting a bit tight atm, so I think I'll be waiting on getting anything more elaborate as for as seating goes.

^ Vincent's seat covers are the answer. $250 for all four seats.

Yea, I know.. they look amazing. I just need to sell off a few things first.

about your hood i have the same hood and i just opened up the hood hole slightly with a dremel and the oem nozzles fit fine

Kinda hard to dremel a hole that has paint on it. The last thing I want to do is start chipping on the paint and then worry about it spreading, ya know? Besides, these ones look almost identical to the OEM ones and make mounting to the underside significantly easier.

Just an update:

Spoiler will be here Tuesday.

This week the spoiler blocks and spoiler will be resprayed/sprayed. The spoiler blocks had some paint issues that they're fixing for free.

Next weekend, the decals go on everything except for the large "CASTROL" logo on the spoiler, since.. obviously..that part will still need to cure.

Hopefully the weekend after that, the headers and new stereo/speakers will be installed with some much needed help from Aerl.


Pictures will come with each step . Basically, this will be fully ready the first week of December when the final decal is put on the spoiler.

There cant be many Castrol Celicas in the US....will certainly stand out from the crowd.

Third time's the charm? Just got the third one in today...



At least I'm hoping..sigh. First one had a crack down the underside in the center. The second was the replacement that had the mounting notches that the spoiler blocks go into filled in with bondo. Then the first was "repaired" only to crack again. Now the third (and by far the dirtiest, but hey! no cracks!).

Both the new spoiler and the old spoiler blocks will be taken into the shop tomorrow to be painted white. If you guys don't remember, the blocks weren't painted all the way in the back and were rough. They are fixing those for free, though he's not spraying the spoiler for free even though it was their repair job that failed me.

Can't wait for Saturday. The car will look like a Castrol car then.

I also have a new surprise. I got red, rally mudflaps for the car! And they're even that much more amazing as they were specifically made for the Celica, and will have the Celica (90's style) logo in white on the back of each one. It's the little touches that count, right? It's going to seriously look amazing. Can't wait to show it off. After that, it's headers and stereo/speakers. I'll have pictures this weekend of the decals though.

wow, nice...

Where did you get that red emblem?

eBay. However, I think I got the last one he had.. could be mistaken though .

Btw, speaking of which, the back emblem is now on the car as the replacement came in last week. I'll take a picture of that when the decals are on.


EDIT: More good news. Maaco said they'd paint the new spoiler for $35, the parts of prep materials, since they messed up on the last . My day just got 2000% better

There was actually a white 2 post spoiler for sale on Ebay with the Castrol decal already on it not too long ago. Lol. Sounds like you're getting a steal from Maaco.

Yea, I saw those.. but the spoilers were heavily damaged (paint wise). I think Maaco feels like they gypped me on the repair job (...well, they did) and that's the only reason why they're doing this for me.

The spoiler and blocks will be done soon

i cant wait to see this with all the decals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hurrrryyyyyyyyyy.
