Hello, my name is Toua Vang, I currently live in MN and have always been a Toyota my whole life.
Some of you know this car from before as this was previously snapshotgt's Celica. The story of acquiring the car: After my 5GC GTS and my S/T 20V AE102G, I was in the market for something unique (that's Toyota) and rust free so that meant travelling out of MN. Long story short, almost got a camry all-trac from the west coast or a 5gc from the east coast. Ended up in south coast to get Colin's 1MZ 6GC. 18 hour drive home and my very first ticket (speeding); totally worth it. First mod: 20mm/25mm spacers on the front/rear with the 7gc wheels. Nearly sits flush with the vehicle. Other things I have done so far: Audio system: A small sub and amp New intake filter: Coned shaped K&N filter to replace the old cylindrical one. Euro riser blocks: Reps from Teo, highly recommend his stuff. Wheels and tires: Fixed my brother's curb-rash 5-Zigen FN01RC and new paint w/ some new Yokohama S Drives.

BUMP! NEED UPDATED PICS ASAP!! LOL Sorry bro, gonna have to wait. Celica is on DD duty due to the FRS breaking down. I'll post pictures when I get the right fitment. Been battling with the FRS this whole week, long story short the shift select lever pin broke so had to drop the transmission just to get to it. Any recommendations on removing the broken pin is appreciated! As for the Celica I got some BC (BR Series) coilovers. Wasn't the original idea but I was rubbing on the struts (i think) w/ the new wheels. Here are the rear compared to my old setup (forgot to take pictures of the front; but it was a big difference in width). Also got some H&R spacers (15mm) for the rear. Was going to take the hubs to a shop but w/ the right tools ended up doing it myself! Got the rear running top camber bolts, maxed out at -1.75 (if that's the correct max, went of eibach camber bolt specs cause they look like them). For the front I'm running close to 0 degrees camber; but all these numbers are guesses until I go in for an alignment. Car was almost done and ready for alignment (no more rubbing or ugly gap); but the FRS broke so I had to raise the car up to DD and handle the nasty MN roads. Once the FRS is done I'll lower it again and get some nice photos to show. Plus I'm also waiting on my wheel caps, they've been on a 4-week back order. |
