Hi all, I'm not sure who is still here from when I had my other 6gc, but I just picked up another 95 yesterday, which makes this my 4th celica, and my 3rd white celica Here's a couple refresher pics of my old 6th gen, maybe someone will remember those better than my description of it:
First it was stock: Then it got turbo'ed Then the engine blew up Then it got a used engine and a paint job, shortly before selling it Now the new car: It's got 175K miles on it, but only about 60K on the engine. I bought it from the second owner who has had it since 1999, making me the 3rd owner of this garage kept and well maintainted celica. I counted only one small ding in the whole car! My plans as of right now is just to make it even more aesthetically pleasing, it's going to be my daily driver so I don't think I'll do anything too crazy, but perhaps a beams swap down the road... So what do you guys think -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

Sorry I've been slacking on the updates. Here's what I've done lately. First I bought myself a JDM rear strut bar
Then for christmas I got a new subwoofer, an Alpine type R. The old infinity sub I had finally blew, but I was pushing 500W through a sub rated at 250W so I was pretty much expecting it. Now I have a sub that can handle 650W RMS, so shouldn't have that problem anymore Unfortunately the sub was too deep to fit in my box so I made a spacer for it real quick. Here's a pic of the box in place. It fits perfectly in the gap between the rear seat and strut bar. A couple pics of me wiring in the alpine amp. I mounted it underneath the passenger seat because it fit perfectly under there and I like things like that to be hidden, I don't like clutter in my cars and I HATE exposed wiring, so hidden away it goes Lastly, for christmas I also got a set of 8000K HIDs. And that's it for now. I also got a distributor rebuild kit so I probably do that next week to finally fix my oil leak! Getting real tired of that burning oil smell every time I stop the car because oil is dripping on the exhaust... -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
