Ok....sooo....I know it's a bit late for me to start it but might as well do it now. Lol. I bought my 1997 Toyota Celica GT for $4,500 on February 27, 2012. It had 175,000 miles on the cluster. It was in very good condition. The only problem I had on it was it had a CEL light on. Which was just the speed sensor in the cluster not working. Replaced that and the CEL was cleared. Also my car didn't pass emissions test but I eventually had that fixed after running on premium and Lucas Cleaner. Overall I was more than happy to pay the overpriced $4500.

[JoshuaM]

damn, you and JoshuaM are way ahead of me. I gotta get me some projectors so I can keep up with you two! hahahah.

if only it were possible I would love to get our cars together and shoot photos of them. lol!

You've had plenty of time... Tisk tisk

Haha, yeah... I'll need to follow Box back on one of his famous weekly trips accross the pacific (See running joke in Today I... thread ).

Sorry to keep you guys waiting but never had a right time to take a pic of my car. So I finally took some after work. Will take better pics whenever I get some time to clean and take it out for a photoshoot.

Went from 8k lo to 5k lo. I couldn't stand driving around with 8k. So hard to see. Lol.

Looking Good! XD

Is that pic with the 8k lights installed? Looks very blue


And has anybody made custom crystal style fog lights shaped to our current housings before? (I was thinking about this for myself )

[ILoveMySilly97]

Looks much better mate looks fantastic

You need a Toyota badge in the middle though a black one would suit

The previous owner had debadged the car and added toyota emblem decals to cover the holes. I had removed them because I'd rather have a debadged car than a decaled car. Lol. Thank you.

looks great.
clear fog lights would complete it

Thanks. You meant clear fogs as in the lighting? I was thinking of changing the lighting to 5k too. Not sure yet though.

beautiful!

Thanks Cheela.

It has the 5k in it. For some reason. If you look into the housing it'll look more blue than when you look at the lightout. It's close to normal to white. Just perfect for my bad eyesight. Lol.

yeah I joined 6gc earlier but that was when I was a broke college student. I had to scrap up change to get my parts and somehow $600 headlights didn't seem to fit in my budget. hahahah.

but yes, if box can make it across the pacific in his than you should have no problem. hahahah

[Box]

Looking good. Just makes you wish the projector headlights had been standard equipment.

I wished we had central Cali meets. Would be perfect for the north Cali and south Cali 6gc to meet half way and be perfect for the cen cal 6gc.

Looking good. Just makes you wish the projector headlights had been standard equipment.

I wished it was. Would've been a lot cheaper. Lol.

Nooooooooo!!! Found out that my drivers side cv boot is torn. Looks like it's been torn for at least a month or two now. Man....I hated replacing my passenger side and now I'm going to need to replace my drivers side sometime in the next month or two.

Haha. A lil too late for that. I was going to take my car in for an alignment tomorrow but I'd rather wait til I get my axle replaced first. So I wouldn't have to take it in again.

[Box]

Just means you need more duct tape. Yeah, I'd just wait until you have the new cv axle installed before having it aligned as well.

[cheela]

yup, mine just ripped last month too. sucks!

[ILoveMySilly97]

Going to head to AutoZone and order a replacement.
