Just a lil turtle- Playr's car, (the entire project) Options

[playr158]

Awhile ago Jeff told me to consolidate my crap so here goes

Spec:
1996 USDM ST


Stage 1:
-invader body kit, custom bumper scoop, Velox VX-6 18" wheels, Arospeed Coilovers, GT4 rear strut bar, several different exhausts, JDM tails, 5th gen power folding mirrors




Stage 2:
- supra front end conversion (only 75% completed at any given point)


all in all, it got the whole deal of under glow, interior neon, subs, amps, dual/single exhausts, CAI, SRI, TWM SSK, and most things under the sun you can do as a ricer.

now......that stuff comes to an end and the story starts over

Step 1: remove horrible front end


Step 2: remove motor (note you can see missing "sub" frame here



Step 3: power wash clean the empty bay


Step 4: Jack stands on 4 corners and remove suspension





Step 5: pointlessly tape up and start stripping






Step 6: black primer




Step 7: ditch the interior internals



Step 8: drive to jersey in overheating truck to get a bare clip (don't forget to remove excess)





Step 9: remove donor firewall



9b: remove my firewall


Step 10: replace with donor wall


Step 11: find Ultra super dooper mad JDM elephant tite Curren parts, drive Ghetto nascar van to get it


Step 12: install Ultra super dooper mad JDM elephant tite Curren parts




Step 14: ditch the sunroof its way too heavy


Step 15: ditch spare tire well, make more room under car smooth out floor board


Step 16: remove glass from doors (heavy, and you can't have windows up while racing)

Step 17: paint engine subframe hot pink because you can



Step 18:
Realize your garage sucks so put up ceiling: only partially finished, gotta get more and clean out the crap a lot more
(its a temp garage so we make do) car modification pictures will come soon



Step: 19 Carbon fiber license plate trim


more to come soon as I get more done

I don't hangout with celica/toyota people in the MAR. I'm around the Euro scene every once in awhile.
Only time celicas get together is if some of us really old members get dinner or something (maybe 1 celica shows up, the rest of us have other cars)
But you are always welcome to come out
