The other adjuster tilts the backrest and remembers it's position, when you pull the lever and the seat comes forward, you can push the seat back and it will remember the exact spot you reclined it to, my 1995 SS-I had that, 1996 & 1997 JDM seats don't have it, unsure about 1998 (beams red.)

On our 1996 Jap imported Celicas, the seat only goes back to a default position. If you're anything like me and only find 1 position comfortable (all the way back, bucketed full and tilted 2 clicks past the seatbelt) then you'll hate 1996 seats and probably never try to get anything off the back seat from the driver side.

The door sills are a very nice touch.. I got them on the gt4 but not the ss-iii, I wonder if all jdm gt4s got them since ss-iii didnt even get it until 1998.

That cold air intake is pretty nice, but you may want to reconsider the routing as it's awfully close to the exhaust headers.

You can pipe it through the factory cold air tunnel but it requires some haxxing...,

Pop off the passenger side wheel arch cover, unbolt and rip out the intake resonator box,

Unbolt the fuse box on the passenger side to get to the factory cold air intake pipe, pull that out...

That will give you two possible holes to shove your aluminum intake pipe through, you'll have to hammer the holes out to enlarge them enough to get a 3"+ diameter. Use 45deg & 90deg silicone couplings if you don't want to scratch your fancy pipe there.

The part I'm stumped on though is how the hell do people relocate that fuse box, some setups have it moved to make a straight path for a pipe to go through, but there is no plug you can disconnect that i can see to make an extension patch loom.

Some touch up paint on the tyres, done one side atm ran out as i was doing the other side. The paint wasnt the best, it was sticky and thick. Up close its uneven. Going to try my luck tomorrow finding some tyre paint or some paint that works well on rubber. And starting over. It might not be everyones cup of tea, but hey i like it.

Pics for now.

[Nartanian]

Very very nice job I think. Now all you need is a drop.

[SwissFerdi]

It goes against some things in my head, but I LIKE that. Props.

Bought this tyre pen specifically made for dressing up tyres lol. Worked a hell alot better. And alot easier to apply.

[Tigawoods]

[Rusty]

Some local guy was selling the SS-III kit front rear sides spoiler (with the toms lip) for NZ200 which is about US100, they didn't know what they had lol

cool so you finally have the HB projector light, you can finally get those installed
so you have the toms lip and SS-III splitters, are you going to change them every couple of days

In progress, going to finish it off tomorrow !

Bumpers back on, need to go out for lunch. Only need to put the undercovers and screws back on and can start cruising again. Tested my 10,000K last night. Looked like a scanner of light, blue light. I cant stress how good the cutoff is on projectors. And of course how awesome they look!

[delusionz]

Nice looking bits!!!
