Just a lil turtle- Playr's car, (the entire project) Options

[playr158]

Awhile ago Jeff told me to consolidate my crap so here goes

Spec:
1996 USDM ST


Stage 1:
-invader body kit, custom bumper scoop, Velox VX-6 18" wheels, Arospeed Coilovers, GT4 rear strut bar, several different exhausts, JDM tails, 5th gen power folding mirrors




Stage 2:
- supra front end conversion (only 75% completed at any given point)


all in all, it got the whole deal of under glow, interior neon, subs, amps, dual/single exhausts, CAI, SRI, TWM SSK, and most things under the sun you can do as a ricer.

now......that stuff comes to an end and the story starts over

Step 1: remove horrible front end


Step 2: remove motor (note you can see missing "sub" frame here



Step 3: power wash clean the empty bay


Step 4: Jack stands on 4 corners and remove suspension





Step 5: pointlessly tape up and start stripping






Step 6: black primer




Step 7: ditch the interior internals



Step 8: drive to jersey in overheating truck to get a bare clip (don't forget to remove excess)





Step 9: remove donor firewall



9b: remove my firewall


Step 10: replace with donor wall


Step 11: find Ultra super dooper mad JDM elephant tite Curren parts, drive Ghetto nascar van to get it


Step 12: install Ultra super dooper mad JDM elephant tite Curren parts




Step 14: ditch the sunroof its way too heavy


Step 15: ditch spare tire well, make more room under car smooth out floor board


Step 16: remove glass from doors (heavy, and you can't have windows up while racing)

Step 17: paint engine subframe hot pink because you can



Step 18:
Realize your garage sucks so put up ceiling: only partially finished, gotta get more and clean out the crap a lot more
(its a temp garage so we make do) car modification pictures will come soon



Step: 19 Carbon fiber license plate trim


more to come soon as I get more done

When its all in one place you can really see the amount of work your doing.
Very cool. Haha hot pink sub frame thats a mint idea

[stetsonaw]

like the curren conversion.

[Cutrara]

What engine are you putting in?

[playr158]

*hopefully* 3rd gen 3sgte.....its a 100% straight bolt in & plug in motor for my car. (electronic wise) tranny & 1 motor mount are of course the fun parts.

[808celica]

[Jaws4God]

holy crap that is awesome! we def need more people on here doing those kinds of mad transformations!

[celicast3sgte]

try an awd swap too. awd curren/celica. would be interesting....

[presure2]

lookin good dan, good to see progress being made!

[CelicaZR]

Good stuff Dan
It will be pretty unique once its done

[playr158]

try an awd swap too. awd curren/celica. would be interesting....

plan is to set the motor up in FWD, to start, and tune it on FWD. For the sake of time and $.
Once the motor is tuned (hopefully not breaking too many axles in the process) and running like it should. I'll take on a RWD setup.

since i haven't done the rear end yet, the rear tirewell area has not been touched.

but if all you wanted to do is eliminate the tire well. You could use a flat sheet of metal with beads rolled into it (maybe 4 across) and that would be sufficient.

looking good keep it up

[97Celica]

You...are insane sir...and I like it

[96ST206]
