Took care of a few lil goodies for CelicaChikk today. Not a big update. Changed out the spark plugs and wires, and replaced all four factory speakers.

Those plugs... are garbage... especially in our cars. NGK Iridium IX are much better running, last longer and are more efficient.

BOSCH plugs foul out easily because of how little of the metal that actually shows. Jap cars usually burn a bit of oil due to sticky valves/valve seepage and it covers the end of the plug causing it to misfire.

The pioneers are great, after we installed them you could really tell a difference in the sound quality.

Hmm, never had issue with the Bosch plugs myself, but then again I did pull'em out once/twice a year and cleaned them off. I figured that was just the 7a being the...7a..

Considering that they are still brand new, Im not having any problems with them so far, guess I will have to check them periodicly just in case.

My new high beam came in today and since it is such I nice day I jumped at the oppurtunity to replace the busted one. I still need to tactle the hood/bumper alignment too. I figured Id do that when I order and recieve my gt4 bumper and hood.




Another little tid bit, I replaced the factory e-brake handle and Im still waiting for the boot to come in but here she is so far.

Get the boot put on an thatll look good
Got a link for the parts you used for that ?

Will that ebrake mod go down further? Flush like?

I think the gap is there for the boot. So eventually it will be flush.

Lol...If I would only read before posting =P - Thanks!

Its actually the same e-brake I have in my car. Eventually the factory boot will be completely cut out and the new one will replace that, so when it is all said and done it will look like this.

Latest update on SexciCelicaChikk's Celi. We got her windows tinted 20%, subs installed 2 Pioneer 12's, 760 watt Pioneer amp, volt meter, and water temp gauges installed. She has ordered a set of ebay headers and 2.5'' exhaust. Next month the celi gets dropped. Project is moving pretty steadyly and she is learning quite a bit considering she is doing everything herself.

wow, this is moving quick. everything is looking good. keep it up.
7a is a great engine to learn from and tinker with.

Nice, I like the blue. I'm totally jelly. Mine's red, I hate red. Nice to see a woman drive manual. Good luck on getting the car how you want it.

Helped her out at work today.

Thanks, its coming along. Right now Lil-Joe and I are working on it from the inside out. I just cant wait til I can lower her do the gt4 front end. She sits too too high for my taste.

Valve cover looks great
An its good to hear my wifes not the only woman on here thats not afraid to jump in an get her hands dirty

Yeah Joe txt'd me a pic of the valve cover, cant wait to see it in person tomorrow. Im a lil nervous

Im sure if its like everything else he does im sure itll look amazing

I ran over a dead canine dog and it left a paint chip under my front bumper and blood on my side skirt. I'm just glad it didn't break my sideskirt and my bumper. Lol.
