Daniel, you got some good shots! Thanks for taking one of the Rolla, with the lighting, it looks nice! Haha!

[jordisonjr]

Solid shots, looks like there was a good turnout.
How is it that theres a legal Gt-four in the states, that is able to be driven on the streets?!
Are those XXR 530's 19's ?!

It is legal. It was already legally imported and insured when he bought it. He's made sure that it's 100% legal for the US. It's quite a machine.

[Celica97smiley]

Yeah those are Xxr 530 19"s on my Celica

That's awesome. Is it registered as a track car or something?
I don't know much about st205's in the states (Im in Canada) but I thought the only way was to Vin Swap (Illegal) or have it registered as a track car, not for street use.

[narly_charley]

I'm not sure how they did it originally. He wasn't the person to originally import it.

That should be everything needed to put projectors in your Corolla. I'd suggest buying a new set of housings and doing those just so you have the old set as spare in case something goes wrong or you sell the car and need to swap back. Those projectors are capable of 55W but that shortens bulb life a lot...but also more than doubles the brightness!

Very Nice Rides as always!!
Glad the weather treated you all to a good day!
Pics are fantastic!!

Wish we could have been there, hoping next time ...

[soundman98]

Finally got the pics uploaded! Hope you guys have got good internets.

thanks for the pics!

you';re not as bad with a camera as you say you are

[richee3]

The camera did most of the work. Are you on Facebook? I uploaded several more pictures of your BRZ there. If not, I can email you the full size files.

I think I fixed my overboost issue. I suspected the second wastegate was seized up but I followed other leads first. Just grabbed the actuator arm and it was a little stiff at first. Wiggled it a few times and it moves much smoother now. Put a little compressed air to it and it seemed to work just fine. A couple of highway pulls should let me know. Then, next time I'm up there in Mexico, you guys will get the full 450 whp 2JZ experience.

How about rides?

In the Supra of course (get your minds out of the gutter).

Thanks! I'll keep you updated when funds become available.

You better have one of the Corolla Haha! Can't wait to see the group pictures where the left side of the group did funny poses and the right side did nothing. Haha!

[cheela]

sorry I missed the corolla because it was hiding in the corner. next time park it with the rest of us.

Daniel got a nice shot of it. It's not as worthy as your Matrix, trust me. Haha!

[LtSolid]

I'm glad I made it out to this meet , its always great seeing other celica enthusiasts

I was also privileged enough to sit in a Supra and be in the presence of a GT4, couldn't ask for more than that. Already looking forward to a spring meet!



This has to be one of my favorite photos of a celica ever

AGREED! that wheel gap on the gt four is SEXY af!

[narly_charley]

That's the GT4 lookalike, the GT4 didn't have the risers on the spoiler.

[cheela]

finally got the rest of the pics up. sorry for the delay.

























love that evo spoiler!













sorry, forgot my tripod so these didn't turn out as good.
































and lastly a few from the hike.













and of course the group shot.


this was suppose to be the "funny" shot.. apparantly half of them didn't get the memo. hahaha

[navseal345]

Damn. I look fly.
