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

part of me just wants to mount them on a wall rather than on the car haha

[playr158]

So let me get this correct

MK4 Supra N/A Apexi two piece rotors redrilled to 5x110
Celica ST205 calipers

and full ST205 rear setup?

Yes.

In the future I am going to look into new 2-piece supra rotors

[playr158]

hrm I need to look at my ST205 rear pieces to see what shape its in when I go install my coilovers.

[Tigawoods]

the dust shield in the rear needs a good amount of cutting so the calipers can mount. There also need to be 5mm (about 2 washers) worth of washers between the caliper and the mounting hole

You might want to consider a plate instead of the washers to achieve your offset... As we also run washers on the race car (we are running ST184 / Camry Calipers up front) we were trying to figure out if the washers were allowing the calipers to twist under load.... We don't know for sure - but we do have some wonky pad wear...

^^^ what he said. I have them like that but planning to weld something as he described

[Tigawoods]

yeah you and I had talked about that briefly.
Some sort of rectangular shim that connects both mounts together.
Probably can make something, no need for CnCing, as long as the metal I get is 5mm!

[Tigawoods]

legal (kind of) and back on the road


and after 10min of driving to break in the brakes

That sucks... Is that a defect notice, or notice for speed runs / 'dangerous driving' (heavy braking)?

[Julian_Navia]

If your car is drivable are you planning on going to C&C anytime soon?

citation for lack of inspection.
LUCKILY
I told him I was getting it inspected and emission tested tomorrow (which I am)
and he said just to contact the PD once Ive passed and he will write off the fine

its probably going to stay in PA for another few months I think

[Julian_Navia]

Nooo

That was very considerate of him! A close shave then

wheel/brake combo looks so sick Tiga, yellow fogs really pop too with the yellow calipers! its going to look pretty sweet flying around the track man!

[RabidTRD]

It's a good thing we delayed the Pagoda meet lol.

I'm going to try to make the new date even if I'm running on winter tires.

[Tigawoods]

welp I failed my inspection test because my car was too loud.

I really need to get back on the track! Having not driven the car in so long I feel uncomfortable pushing it around corners

Lol there probably would have been like 3 people there if it werent delayed



here is another crappy phone pic. I think I may take home my lighting equipment this weekend for a proper shoot. Havent done one in a WHILE

[SwissFerdi]

Damn man, that makes me toasty in all the good places.

[J-man]

Can't wait for the new photos if you decide to do one soon!

[RabidTRD]

It's like McDonalds going on behind your wheels! I love it! Hahah
