Since I'm most likely going to get a larger, four door car as a DD next year, I've been thinking I should go all out on my Celica. Still allowing it to be street legal, just barely.
 Originally I was pondering whether I should put a 4 point cage in, but now I'm pretty sure I want an 8 point cage. I know it's going to be a pain in the backside, and I already basically know what to do after reading czwalga's rally car thread, but I have some questions still. 1. I have a sunroof. I want to get rid of it, but then again I don't. Pros and cons of having it? 2. I've gotta take all the plastic out and everything so the cage would fit right and so nothing catches fire while welding. Duh. However, I still want a nice interior. I'll leave the dash. Would it be real difficult to make some cool aluminum interior pieces? Any input is welcome. |

I just want to make a badass car. I have quite awhile to think about it until I get another car.

You want to make your car look really fast without actually being anywhere close to it, your like most other 18 year olds...I did it

Unattractive cars FTL... But I didn't know the 7A-FE wasn't the best option for badassness. |
