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

[mak5603]

Car looks great and the splitters definitely set the GT4 bumper off right. Very aggressive.

Thanks man! Was going for the aggressive look.

Your car looks stunning but you really need to raise the rear, imo.

Thank you, and yes the rear will be coming up soon. Just need to find the time to do it, haha.

[Ehrgeiz]

Oh, great! Will be one of the best looking on the board/planet.

[mak5603]

^^ Wow, thanks man, means a lot!




Sooooooooo........

I went out to raise my rear and ended up just testing out an idea that I've had for awhile with some big spacers I had laying around that I thought wouldn't work so well.. but did, so basically now the 30mm from the rear went up front and went fatter in the rear.. so, yay wider all around. Not what I wanted (fat spacers), still want wider wheels, but I'm satisfied for now. Still going to raise up the rear a half inch to inch or so. I'm just rollin around with it literally about as flush as you can get in the rear for now though, haha.

Also, next up on my list is a new exhaust, got a SICK idea and going to get rid of the retarded sh!t I have right now, finally! Thank God!







^^My Alltrac that isn't mine anymore in the background!

Damn, thanks man! Honestly, there isn't a huge Honda scene around me. Well there is, but they are all into their own lame things, haha. Lots of drifting around where I am so I can definitely say my styling is very "drift scene" influenced. Lots of clean 240's, rx7's, corollas, etc. rolling around with boss stances. Basically I just wanted to see that stance on a GT4 body because it has always been one of my favorite looking cars.

sell me those 25s

[Lil-Joe101]

Its weird being back stateside sometimes cuz basicly the "HellaFlush" trend is basicly the VIP Car trend. But Americans call it HellaFlush, My opinion its all pretty cool if done right like our boy mak has done.




This on the other hand is an absolute discrase to tuners everywhere n not cuz its a Honda, but because it looks unfinished, and down right lazy.

Mak good on u for atleast taking the time to visualize ur build first and for the love a god for adding the splitters to help finish off the look. Granted Im a bodykit crack head and all of 6gc knows it, lol. But I can reaspect a good lip kit as well. So thank u sir, lol

I think this guy went lower than you lol now this celica is hellaflushh lol

[BonzaiCelica]

haha^^ thats a pic taken 3 seconds before its about to take off into outer space!!

[mak5603]

That sh!t looks suuuper embarrisingly disgusting, haha. I hate my camber, but without adjustable RUCA's I can't really do much, no aftermarket ones available for Celica.. Plus my wheels wouldn't fit without camber.. I am working on getting some custom adjustable RUCA's made though.

Oh yeah, and I did raise my car 7/10 of an inch in the rear today! Looks waaaay better now.

And Andrew, I gave my spare set of 25's to my buddy that I sold my alltrac to because I was tired of having a sunken battleship in my driveway everytime he came over, haha. Sorry man.

[mak5603]

Here's with the rear raised up.

Oh yeah, I have a donk too.. Have coils for it, but no money for things like alignment and tires so it stays monster truck status for now..

How is it raised? Why dont u lift the front and rear a inch. Take a look at timmyfaces recent pics he posted on his thread. If u can get it likethatyou'll be looking way better. I say that because now it just looks like u have blown suspension

How is it raised? Because I physically raised it... If that was the look that I wanted that would be how much I would raise it.. It takes about 15 minutes per corner so I can adjust whenever I want. And yes, I have seen Timmy's car. I like it A LOT. Timmy is on 18's so his car looks higher than mine but in reality we are only about a half inch apart.. Someday I want wide 18's too, and my car will look that 1 inch higher that you like.

It's cool with me if people would like to think my suspension is blown, its not.. Those people just clearly don't get coilovers or the style that I am going for which immediately makes me not care too much what they think about MY car. I'm not going for some sleeper/ race car/ boring dd/ what all the other 99.99% of drivers on the road are going for. Im going for a flashy, clean, aggressive, gt4 clone with as little space between the fenders and wheels as possible while still being operable.

Doesn't mean that I don't respect your opinion its just that it's your opinion, and that is what your car is for. I think cars of all sorts of styles are cool.

Just bought my new exhaust! I'm pretty stoked, hope it gets here fast!

Really wanted to wait for my 3s for this but I just can't stand the pos that's on my car right now and need to get rid of it asap.

For the last 2 years I have had an HKS Carbon TI muffler which I was planning on running. It is such an awesome exhaust, especially if you like carbon fiber touches.. But, it is huuuuge, so huge it ultimately came down to the decision that it wouldn't last long under my car due to its vast size.. And I kind of fell out of the style of it, I want something a little less big.. So I sold it to a friend.

Anyways, brings me to the new setup. For the longest time I have been running my stock 5s exhaust manifold with a cat and 2.5" piping all the way back with no resonator. I really like the sound of it and I know my new setup is going to be LOUD but hopefully not too bad with the aforementioned stock manifold and cat.. If it is I'll probably add a resonator.

So, I'm going to expand to 3" at the tip, but fully convert to 3" with the 3s.

[mak5603]

Lol, so my suspension is completely settled at this point, and now needs to be slightly raised once again. Good thing I get free alignments . Guess you could say it rubs a bit, lol what kind of tires are those? This is what happened when I tried to drive with 3 people in the car..



So this is kind of irrelevant but I figured I'd share it anyways. Was actually a couple weekends ago, but I got the opportunity to attend an event with my Dad where we were able to drive a few top end Jaguars. I got to drive an XK-R and XF on a track they had setup (I had the fastest lap time for my time group when I left ). I also got to drive an XJ-L, which is their luxury model on some local roads, which was amazing. They have SO MANY OPTIONS! Last but not least I got to drive an XK-RS, which there are only 300 of in the world, 100 in North America. All of the cars were using 5.0L V8 Supercharged motors ranging from about 450 HP to 550 HP with amazing handling and brakes to go with. What amazing cars.

Anyways, here's the XK-RS





And the XJ-L



I also received my exhaust this past week. Pretty stoked to put it on. And, yeah. I DO know that it is going to be loud. I love the way it looks how I have it planned in my head. I REALLY fell out of love with the way any kind of "can" exhaust looks, so I thought I would do something unique. Will sound so epic with my 3S .





And just for fun.
