LOL nooOoOooO....i havent started on the 3sgte swap as of yet...probably start on monday and probably get a friend to do it as i have tons of uni work...but no there is no point really getting a 3sgte swap and have auto transmission. Which is why in my other thread i asked if the driveshaft on the automatic fit into the manual tranny..

[FortuneCookie]

WOW. Another GT-FOUR conversion... Makes me want to start mine. Wait a minute... I've already started. LoL. It must be "Convert Your Celica! Season." Keep up the good work. Imma keep tabs on this.

I really love what you've done with the interior, nice job.

BTW, how difficult was it to take off the emblems? Do they just pop off?

-Matt

[lubu]

well some bastard kept on prying my back emblem off so i figured better off to shave them, nothing hard really just use a sharp blade and try working on the glue but careful you dont wanna scratch ur paint.

BTW thanks for the nice comment, I like to have a balance between performance & looks.

[GotToyota]

Awesome, I'll try that.

But what did you use to remove the remaining gunk that was behind the emblems left on the paint?

Interested in your lexus seat mod.

What year and model did your seats come from?

What mods did you have to do to make them fit?

Are those side airbags I see in the pic?

Thanks

[lubu]

Look what i've got







the only missing things are the pipes and the heat exhanger...and i think i know who has them

dutchboy,

the lexus seats I think are from an IS300 I cut the rails from the front seats and bolted onto the lexus. Abit of work but worth everyminute of it. And yes those are side airbags.

Looks awesome, nice progress. I love that steering wheel. I have had an old school
soundstream deck/preamp in my truck for years and it still sounds great. They made some very
good quality stuff.

[lubu]

thanks...cant wait to finish off my 3s swap and get this badboy pumping....im a lil worry coz this amp will draws alot of current. Not sure if the 3s alternator can handle the load, for reference this thing accpets 0 awg wire

edit: I'll proabbly do the "big 3 upgrade " first and see how it goes.

[stetsonaw]

I got a new st205 cluster now...will deffinitely change those greenies with white or blue...i like LEDS but somehow the light is not as bright as the bulb's, even the refractors from VLEDS failed to impress me...maybe its just me.

[kerosene]

ahh so u got the DaVinic... Nice choice ^^

[lubu]

the progress....sorry the pics are abit blurry.
