Tigawoods' 1995 Celica, Racing n Stuff Options

[Tigawoods]

after a long (in my eyes) hiatus from June 2012, finally back on the road





So here is the story of my celica.




so i dont get to ramble on too much, lets start out with the first picture i took of my car back in 2006 when I got her.


the first mod that i did was my JL speakers all around. nothing special. i wasnt too much into the whole 6gc scene until a little bit after.

i then stripped the hub caps and started putting every sticker i found on that car!







then i had finally gotten into the 6gc scene and started to mod her. first things first, a $70 weapon r intake from a fellow member. needless to say i felt badass installing it seeing as how it was my first mod.

after that came exhaust, a nice n\' rare SP1




THEN TRAGEDY STRUCK!
i had thrown a rod and my car was up for about 3months, saddest moment ever!


after all was said and done, i got a new rebuilt block.

the day it was back on the road


this is the first pic i took with my new camera



Then after not having it for a while i wanted to get her gifts, thus leading us into the...
BAD IDEA PHASE







end phase


then i put on my XS auto headers the NIGHT before i was leaving for my freshman year of college. ended up rushing and cutting to hastily and had a bad exhaust leak. and a lil bit after put heat wrap on the rad tubes
also i got one of the limited DCR 3points




then after a month or so, my engine quit on me while cruising around pittsburgh. had to tow it back home to the shop the block was built at in philly. ended up being a bad head gasket.



then i just started buying stuff while at school and putting it in

SPENDING PHASE

oprahs favorite things!


since the cooling panel deleted the hood prop

[richee3]

Whaaaat? You went for the projectors? That's gonna look great!

[Tigawoods]

I hope so! Im still excited about the LSD more than anything else

[Keiri]

This car is going to return so much sexier than when it went in the garage. The project is looking good Mike. Road-ready by Spring?

[ricochet1490]

You'll love the hood dampers!

Easy to install....
But a word of advice! Either add a THICK washer between the bracket and the hood, or put the bracket in a vice and bend it slightly outward. It will otherwise contact the hood and leave a small dent / paint scrape. I would opt for the latter, my .02

Thanks for the heads up! I have spacers between the hood and latch already to space the hood a bit, so if i keep them in there, i should be good yeah?

I have a shirt i got back when I was more into drifting that says "hooked on lsd" and the words glow in the dark.
Now I can wear it because I actually have an LSD!

You got some good things goin on out there.
You should get a CF hatch for the beast, in fact, I know someone who has one for a great price.

I had always thought about it. If the price isnt too high grab it maybe.

I need JDM fenders more than a cf hatch. got them lying around?
