6G Celicas Forums

no problems whatsoever, i had this exhaust on my old celica and never scraped it. A lot of guys on here run the exhaust under like this.

The only time I ever had issues with the exhaust hitting the axel was when I tried jacking up the rear end to upgrade the suspension... LOL.

See, I hate local shops. I asked them if they could do that and they tell me "Oh no, it'll not work the same. Blah blah blah 450 dahrahs"

I got mine done in Fall river, IIRC its the same place a handful of people on this site have gone. It cost me just over 200 for the exhaust when I showed up with my own muffler, resonator and high flow cat. The only thing I wish I did was put a flex pipe in there. I'll do that soon on my own after I get better at welding.

Cars come along way man, looks great!

im going to look for the part numbers this week for the non abs lines, i should still have them floatin around ill shoot you a pm sometime over the next few days.

Got the skirts on there and the front lip:

Wow i want this lip too!! Im looking evrywhere and cant find one.. how you got it?

Some minor progress...

Started to modify the DCW shift boot pod to fit a bit better. There was a small gap at the top and also there is no mounting clips so it just sits there... (This piece was a prototype I convinced Doggy to sell me, his work is absolutely top notch, this was never put into production so that's why it wasn't finished) some progress pics below.

Also, I painted some trim a dark silver color. Came out decent, I'm going to put a few more coats on and sand it with a really fine grit.

and.. i found a plug that works for my for light switch from an old interior harness I had.

more pics..

you can see that if i push it forward it matches better, but then there is a gap below..



so I still need about an eighth of an inch of glass on the top to fill the gap, if i don't have it pushed forward


And the new silver look. I like it.



And the tint..

GREAT thread Jesse, I'm diggin your attention to detail.

I have been trying to get that lip for the longest time...im about to give up...very nice...if you part it out one day, ill buy it from you.

Some more progress.. got it to fit better and glassed a clip on there. The second clip will be attempted tonight. I think two of them should be enough to keep this piece in place. It fits real snug now that I have it fitting better, but I like the idea of having it clip into the factory spot..

Finally got my act together and finished the DCW shift pod. I moved from CT to FL so it got neglected until I got settled, but now I have a lot more space to work.

It clips in, fits snug and looks great. I spent a lot of time working on this piece since it was such a high quality part to begin with. I wanted to do justice to Doggy's work since I was modifying it a bit.

new garage:









how it fit before..

That's a ballin' stealth gauge setup, I love it.

Looks like an early model c3 stingray. Hand over the keys.

Been a while. I replaced my clutch master cylinder since it was going out (even after I rebuilt it). Now I'm dealing with a bit of rust before it gets worse (already bad in one spot).

I'm also starting a new project.. can you guess what it is going to be when I'm done?

New Project:








and that nasty rust..

relocating the gas pump?

Nice clean solution with those gauges.
And the new project of your's? First I thought that you want to modify the housing of tail lights and use led lights. But now I think chacha may be near rhe truth

correct

I'm doing a similiar set-up to what a member did on his a while back. I've always wanted to move it behind the light there, finally bored enough to do it. Hopefully, it comes out alright lol

oh man i remember that car, white correct? do you have a link to one of his threads? I havent seen a pic of that car in years.
I am glad to see you are still active in the celica realm!
