hit 140k today, put on new brakes and had my air conditioning serviced

Yea. Seems my seats lacked some cord system, and means to tie down the front bottom portion of the seat.

I just ended using alot of metal wire, and those staples, and creating my own little system....not perfect fitment, but 100% better then what I had.

today I painted my celi deep blue. Pics up in my profile! And I blacked out corners, tails, etc.

I planned out my next cruise route. For all you DFW'rs. I'll be taking 377 to FM2871, to Aledo Rd, FM 5 South, Muir Rd, Savage Ln, Bear Creek Park, Airport Rd, Old Annetta Rd (or back on FM 5 South), FM 1187 to White Settlement Rd, to 820. Or this is its easier....


Probly wont be this coming weekend (as I got other obligations), but next next weekend. Yea me!

needs more twisties

Yeah, thats kind of hard out here. Sides, you looking at a 1hr 48 min drive (given time of day, blah blah blah). The twistiest place from here is either 2 hours away with another 2-3 hour cruise, or 2 hours for 45-1hour drive. So given the time involved getting to those places then the cruise, then the drive back...its about 5-7 hours. But with this (and dont let it trick you) its not that bad, really. I already ran most of it. This is about the best one thats closest here, and im not done looking yet. I'll post some pics and hopefully small vids (if I can get the cam mounting down) of the little run. It'll be in the cruise around DFW thread.....(formerly DFW Meets), keep an eye out.

Showed the GT-Four today, got lots of good comments and lots of people were checking her out. All in all I spent a good 8 hours straight out in the hot sun in a black t-shirt and walking around most of the time. I feel kinda funny now

Oh yeah, and I washed + waxed her last night in the dark. In the morning I found a few spots of wax that I missed, but the paint feels nice and smooth now

barely driving my car lately, just bought a maxima.. still love my celica to death tho!

Wasnt actually today but on saturday i had the car on Rolling Road. I dont have the pictures of the graphs at the moment but il get those up later.

165.1bhp was the result. Given that i have a 2inch hole in my backbox and a small fuel/air issue thats not bad for a 16year old car! Il be going back in a few months to hopefully improve on that.

hit 180k miles, finally got the white leds for the dash to go with the glow gauges, topped off the oil and washed her, still waiting on the coilovers though......

got a wiper insert for my rear wiper. now to get my springs back from my friend.

put in a new starter and some rust proofing underneath.

Fixed my annoying loose headlamp rubbers.

Bought a torque wrench and im in the process of changing all gaskets, ext. still trying to get the head off, and im debating on whthere or not to just send the block to the machinist and bore it .20 over.... cant really make my mind up.

today i yelled at a guy on craigslist because he had a 6th gen celica listed as a 2003

If it makes you feel like your not alone, I blasted a guy selling the first of only 500 all tracs ever made....in history. I asked for some pics, but the guy called me a prick and never responded back to me. So yeah, those people do exist.

hows it looking?

Good so far no bent valves, pistons rings ext look good. I think I'm going to send it to the machine shop bore it .20 over and get the head shaved. Since it's out and apart.

Not too bad that mate.

the decat will free up a few more if it's not already on, and as you say, the hole in the exhaust won't help

Good stuff

do it!
