Takumi's 94 Toyota Celica ST Options

[kurt95gt]

I know what your saying
I made the switch from honda to yota cuz i wanted something different
All my buddys still run honda but now their starting to sweat cuz of the v6 swap celi settin in my garage lol

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

The car scene here in the stix isn't big, but you've got us true enthusiast which most of my friends have sprayed sn95s or boosted eg's my buddy evans got a gnx and a 415whp hatch, but like i said they might be 10 of us in the whole county that enjoy everything thats had work put into it.

And i just posted in your thread loving the swap my friend i'm sure the LSV boy's won't know what hit em lol i'd say you could wax more than half of the honda fanbois we see everyday with ease.

[kurt95gt]

The only honda in my town is my buddy/next door neaghbor 98 hatch
Its got a b16a with idk what done to it. I know hat one point not that long ago it was dynoed at around 195hp at the wheels before he got the computer tuned.
most of the cars around me are v8 muscle cars so got step up to keep up lol
But i always got the nova for v8 high horse power fun lol

Did the homedepot lip real quick today it def needs some mesh looks decent from the front but from the side you can still see the gap to much.Oh well it was like 10bux in total counting the rivets mesh should make it look a bit better.

Exactly what i had in mind minus thinking it's "JDM" lol, but i might put my bisimoto lic frame over it aswell. Idk yet, and yeah for $10bux i'm not going to complain atleast my rivets are straight unlike most that do this.

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Can anyone photo shop me a black hood on the car? i just need to get a better visual before i commit to it.

I greatly appreciate it, if anyone can.

Could you please explain how did you do the front lip? Thanks!

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Could you please explain how did you do the front lip? Thanks!

Went to wal-mart got 16ft of gardening edge ($4.83 IIRC).
Then roughly cut it to length (Cut it a little longer than what you need you can trim it when your fitment is how you like it).
Drilled my too side holes so i could rivet the passenger and driver side in place to hold the lip on.
Then i eyeballed the lip and rivets as close as i could. Shouldn't take longer than 30mins give or take.

I used the following......
An electric drill.
A drill bit the size of the rivets (Or there abouts don't go larger though).
Rivet gun and rivets.
Gardening edge.
Box cutter for trimming the sides.
And not necessary, but helps to have a good eye and a extra set of hands.

Hey Takumi more pics sir, Im eager to see this build......no wait TLC and how its comin along.

[dliverance]

I'm in for more pics as well

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Well might be a bit had the hood prep'd got it all ready to spray, i sprayed the corner and bam fish eyed like crazy. So i'ma check the gun and lines, it might be awhile before i get pictures.

Thanks for the interest fellas!

[Lil-Joe101]

Make sure ur pre/cleaner isnt oil based bro, that would also cause the fish, but Im sure u already know that. And also be sure to run it thru ur gun before painting, prolly just a dirty gun.

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

I'm 90% sure it was a dirty gun, i tried it on a few test panels after cleaning it and it did just fine. So i'm gonna try it again tomorrow and hope it turns out halfway decent.

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Not the best picture but it'll do for now (My cells camera screen is scratched as you can see). I'm going to wet sand it and do 2 more coats atleast, but with this ME it has to dry for awhile before you can sand or shoot it again in like a week plus CHEAP PAINT WOOT.

Bisimoto tag frame LAWL.

Correct.

Have you considered painting your high beams yellow to go with your Fujiwara theme?

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Have you considered painting your high beams yellow to go with your Fujiwara theme?

Not really a theme going on here, but it crossed my mind although i wouldn't paint them i'd use a film just incase i didn't like the look.

Question....Would you fellas think painting the hatch black would look better or just the spoiler?

It's a toss up so i would like some input on both.
