Hopefully member Arsaces will sell me the KYB SHOCKS I already have first dips on the TEIN Springs yes !!!!!!

I will purchase the seat covers from Vince doggy soon. I just need to go step by step with my build,

parts I need and if anyone has some input on parts I'm missing let me know please just don't mention ABS breaks that stuff scares me I like to control my car I don't like the car controlling me lol
I need the power steering lines from a gt 2.2 6gen celica and some stock mud flaps. I payed japukspares for some but they never arrived so he refunded my money back hopefully some one out there has some stock mudflaps?
also in need of a head liner and the sunroof was custom made so I'm just going to make it a fifth glass now and remove all the mechanism and no need for it to open since it never worked for me lol


I need to pay Jeff for the 5 speed transmission and labor however since a drunk driver hit my car I had to wait for an estimator to come over and look at my car so now I'm just waiting for the check and still debating on the paint job its either white for the body and gloss black rims tinted windows not to dark don't wanna break the law and smoked out lights or flat black body with gloss black rims and tinted windows not to dark with smoked out lights pretty much ghost rider lol

Also one more thing this car will be my daily driver however I will be spending lots of time at the race way I don't like street racing to dangerous for me plus I'm to old for that already and very new to this. its just not worth it.I don't wanna be another Paul walker when you want a car to go fast take it to a track a good controlled environment is always safe and we could avoid such tragedies I feel bad for his family and kid may Paul walker rest.

Any input you guys let me know I wanna get some more ideas I'm not big on sound systems and such I'm really more worried about handling and horsepower and of course looks I hope this was a good wright up for today?

see you guys

next time my car will be painted and ready for a new heart
