HectortheRican's progress thread Options

[HectortheRican]

I've been lagging on one of these, but I finally have the time to start one up. My mods will come slowly but surely due to minimum wage But I'll keep truckin'!

I was actually trying and trying so hard to buy a 240, I love the things, but every single one I'd find was either too expensive because they were all SR20'd and S15'd out, or too beat down and crappy. But then one day I came across this Celica because the poster had put '240sx' as a tag. I had honestly never even considered a Celica for a second, when I thought Celica, I thought 7gc, and I never liked those. But once I saw this Celica, I fell in love. And thanks to Spider77, I found this site and it's helped me since day 1. Now that I've got a progress thread, I'll start updating it often. Thanks for looking!

The first day I got her. I actually bought her from a member, vi-tuyen.


Then the very first mod when I started working... early June. Injen SRI w/ Fujita filter. Bought from trdproven.

Out


In


Then I picked up an OEM strut bar from a local part out in late June


Three days after the strut bar, I got into a fender bender with an 18 wheeler. I swiped his tire. Luckily, I was fine, and no damage to the truck, and little damage to my car.

Damage assessment: Cracked bumper, totaled RH fender, smashed sidemarker, bent strut, bent wheel.

Literally 20 minutes before the wreck

sexy angle

Then when I got home afterwards

Side


Front (see the obvious neg camber? lolol)

Got my brand spankin' new JDM tails from vincent today!


Unfortunately, I can't install them yet because I'm waiting on the JDM harnesses to get here from home. Hopefully they'll be here tomorrow, then I'll have some finished product pics! I've been waiting for these for half a year! To me, it's the 2nd best exterior mod I'll ever do, after my facelift bumper upgrade.

Word, they are WORLDS better than OEM, give the celica a whole new look. Many people don't know what they are looking at.

Hell, I STILL get mistaken for a Supra. I'm just like, "heh, THANKS!!"

Since I did my front end, with the combo of loud, tails, spoiler, and front end. 9/10 people that comment on my car ask if its a supra, lol and they are all SO dissapointed when I say no.
