Mak5603's Project, Dual tip exhaust and splitters on! Options

[jmeyer]

Czwalga had some issues with him too during his rally build. I feel like there are members on here that personally know him and should be able to help you out. Start a thread, if you paid and he has not delivered your parts you are intitled to a refund.

Haven't posted here because all of my progress has been going towards my st165 lately.

However, I took my 6gc to a car control clinic yesterday, and afterwards I had a chance to shred on the track (pacific raceways). Oh man it was soo much fun. Lotta understeer though, Lol!

update?

[mak5603]

I've doing lots of little stuff here and there, just haven't updated. I work 6 days a week and go to college so no time for any major updates, unfortunately. Plus, snowboarding season is coming soon! So just got a new board, jacket, goggles, etc. so very few funds left for the Celicas for now.

I was spending a lot of time on my alltrac but unfortunately the notorious hose from hell burst and I have yet had the time to fix it, so no alltrac for now.

Some of the stuff recently:

Went 5mm wider in the rear,
cooling panel,
Carbon fiber hood struts.

[mak5603]

Wowzers, long time no post. Lol, it's funny because my last update was at the beginning of snowboarding season, and now this post comes as snowboarding season comes to a close.. Wonder why? Between that and going to class to obtain my Aerospace Assembly Mechanic Certification I've had little time for the celi. But the sun finally came out so I brought my spring/summer/fall wheels out of storage and threw my coilovers on. I already posted pics in the "official" pic thread but figured I may as well update the progress (if that's what you want to call it ) in this thread.

They're D2 coilovers and I am still using my +25mm spacers in front and +30mm spacers in the rear. Fenders are obviously rolled. I haven't really messed with them much since I installed, because it's been kind of crappy out. So I just wanted to put them on and slam it for now, haha.

Anyways..

I guess it's a little bit lower than stock height cars...



Oh, and this happened kind of recently

slammedd, looking good my dude.

[kurt95gt]

Hes not bowing down hes trying to look under your car
But that looks sweet hope you got smooth roads

[mak5603]

Thanks guys!

Haha, no the roads aren't anything exceptional. I can get to work and back with only a coiple minor exhaust scrapes, but some of my recreational activity routes need to be altered for sure, lol!

I was going to say... You're brave to have it so low on our roads.... unforgiving, they are.

It isn't bumpers bottoming out that I worry about though - my tires bottom out into the fender long before my bumper drags.

[mak5603]

Super unforgiving. It's pretty scary driving on some roads, I need to fix a couple things if I'm going to end up keeping it anywhere near this height, lol.

[95CelicaST]

Mr. Two is too herrafrush for that level of ride height. I cringe enough on my drive to and from work - I don't want any more scariness.

[mak5603]

Yeah man, I can't wait to get some better wheels. Some 17x8.5-9's. Mmmm. Soon enough..

[RabidTRD]

Mr. Two is too herrafrush for that level of ride height. I cringe enough on my drive to and from work - I don't want any more scariness.

My co-worker wants me to do this with my Celica. I just got my new rims on today and I'm already dodging potholes and areas that Rochester construction decided to just... cut out of the road. No thanks on that low. I like having an oil pan.

[mak5603]

Lucky for us we don't drive mazdas and our oil pans actually sit an inch or two above the crossmember. So if you hit the oil pan, you really messed up, haha.

[mak5603]

Did a bit of dampening. Oh boy, this thing feels like a freaking Amtrak! If only the roads were smooth so I could enjoy ALL of it..

Can't wait to add more power!

And eventually more grip, if you know what I'm saying.

[mak5603]

Just some more cell shots. I REALLY want to find a place and go shoot some real shots, but I get too excited in the meantime!









Lol, I have to roll the car to clean off the whole tire...



I can't quite tell, does this look negative to you guys?

[mak5603]

So I sold my Alltrac the other day . Fortunately it was to a really good friend of mine that I know for a fact will take care of it and only make it better. He already has great plans for it and is an experienced Toyota tech and has had a few MR2s and is very familiar with 3sgte's. He's just looking for a boss daily so he can park his drift steed for awhile.

I would be more sad, but ultimately I intend on making my 6th gen the same thing just 7+ years newer, so its not that bad..

Thinking about getting something boss..

How to: Light Detail of Undercarriage:

Step 1: Slam car!

Step 2: Find clean fresh patch of grass.

Step 3: Drive in it and reverse out (repeat as needed).

Process should look something like this :






UGH! I want new wheels SO bad!

I'm going to find some cool spots to take pictures at real soon.

I got some Bridgestone Poenzas mounted today. My buddy works at a shop so we used a lift. The only way to get my car on a lift is to jack the front and rear up and swing the arms in. This picture is my car on the lift at its minimum height! LOL!




And here are a couple cell phone pics I took from the Scion FRS release event I attended. I got put next to a Skyline.

[SwissFerdi]

Nice R32. How do the tires feel?
