how much did the new suspension parts cost you ?

lets see.

$150 for the Susension tech sway bars, got them as a package deal on my parts car.
sportlines $130 but have had them for a while, bought them from a member.
KYB's $200 but I made my dad a deal that if he bought me The struts for my car. that I would install the struts on his camry, the shop was going to charge him $720 to do his camry. I went online and ordered the struts for both of our cars for $516. so basically i got them free just had to install them for two cars. good deal for both of us

[QuintinGT]

only suggestion i have is the 3 spoke rims.. gotta get something with more but looking great man!!

Great car , i love the interior work you done but i think its time for new rims ! lol ,

Now its time to update the wheels.

3-spoke Advan's ftw
3-spoke anything else ftl

well It seems like you guys are trying to tell me something

Well here you go
you'll just have to wait to see them though. Dang I guess if you really wanted to you could just read the box and look them up, oh well
I Bought them Brand new for only $105 a wheel



I've been busy this weekend. I'm house sitting for my boss, And I got the key to the Bodyshop Haven't left much.




Is header wrap supposed to darken?
Or should I have not started the car till it had dried? oh well whats done is done.
Looked cool steaming


So any way I wrapped my header and used the rest on the intake, probably won't make much of a difference though since its not a CAI.




Oh ya and this turned out pretty good

I Polished the aluminum part, it looks sweet. You can't really tell in the pic,


Two Words

ONE WIPER




Heres what I filled the other hole with.

since I dont have them on the hood anymore

And yes it does actually work, although this link may not, if its doesnt Ill fix it when Im on my own computer.


Wow that turned out to be a really long post, thanks for looking

[m0dd3d1]

Wow! Very nice....although I couldn't see the video. Really cool idea though.

[Insanity-74]

ST = Suspension Techniques

I do hope your joking with that.

Sorry but there is no way an ST sway bar is thicker than a GT sway bar...at best they will be the same.

no, he's saying that he got suspension techniques sway bars, he just called them "ST" sway bars for short. they aren't from a celica ST.

these should work

[Chanh55]

Nice car man... I like all the little innovative mods.

You should get a mini-tripod for your night shots and interior shots. That way it's not all blurry.

Good work.

[elvasoshexai]

wow... today was the first time i saw this thread... and i'm really impressed with all the innovative/creative mods! keep up the gd work!

[QuintinGT]

Im really close to being done with the Exterior

Heres some teasers

Goodbye moonroof And before you all tell me Im stupid for taking out the moonroof, I have my reasons, wanted more head room.



shaving some more stuff off


This might blow your mind at least I hope it does.

Yes this is the driver side whats missing?



this was a couple days ago its painted now, and looks amazing, but you'll have to wait untill its all together to see it

[pnoywitmustrdsau...]

hey quintin, i was wondering if you still have your oem rear struts after you installed the new kyb struts

[QuintinGT]

nope tossed them they were in bad shape

[m0dd3d1]

Did you save the Toyota emblems while you were at it? That's pretty cool about the antenna hole, although I do like my moon roof and I like the rear middle brake light. I definitely understand what you're saying about the head room though being 6' I'm always banging my head on something.

Post Pics!!!

[DSToyo]

ahh snap, you doin one of those flip down license plate things with the gas? i love the mods!

no gas cap cover any more/relocated filler neck?

How much is the roof costing you?..i got a car that had a solid roof in the first place, but the guy who first owned went out and bought some cheap after market sunroof that leaks now. I was gonna just get a patch pannel welded in, but the cheapest quote i got was $2500 just to do the work cuz they wanted to weld an entire new roof on it.

yep it completes my shaved look

You know how to weld? I did it myself, and yes I replaced the whole thing, welding a patch panel would warp the roof so bad you'd never get is straight again.
It cost me $200 for the roof with headliner, and the rest of the necessary bits.
