johnnehh's Progression, 1996 Celica GT Options

[johnnehh]

Something to look forward to tomorow. Cant wait, car is going to look fine.

You sure? I think my car is going to be 'TRUCKIN', haha. I'm pretty sure it will sit about an inch higher...

Anyone wanna give me some lowering springs? I'll pay for shipping!

[whatthe]

^ We could be 4x4 buddies.

What are you talking about? Your car looks like it was meant to be a little high. Looks like a race car haha. I want a white celi so bad

You're a lucky guy.

Mine's just going to look like a guy who doesn't have enough money for lowering springs so I sit like 4 feet from the ground

[marco-polo]

[johnnehh]

I pull up to Les Schwab...

Well, atleast I know they're new...



Put dem tires on, boy!



Make sure they're legit enough to be on my baby...



Finishing touches (Painting the brake calibers black)



Time to throw em' on!



I DIG IT.



As I was paying... It pulls up. I WUV IT!



Mmmm.

Can I get those stockers to go?





Mann, they look SO much better than I expected. Haha. I'm SO happy :]

Looks real nice..you have done alot in such a short amount of time...

[92-gt]

Looks really good. Next mod, slam it! lol.

Keep up the good work.

Looks great man...I know the feeling of elation at having rims. And you've got an intake, header, more horses out of the box, and 5 gears...lucky guy. Now give that sucker a drop and it'll look finished.

What do you do for work?

I detail cars. And build and sell computers. Haha.

[whatthe]

Are all your streets always empty? You always seem to be able to take pics when your car is half turned at a intersection?

Okay, I assume the latter is pretty damn good business. I just wonder where the hell you make all the cash flow. Pretty cool that you can do it yourself though. I also have a little wash and wax type deal going on, but it's not taking off as much as I thought it might.

A housing company started building streets and stoplights and everything for a new housing development they were building, and then got shut down because they didn't have a permit to build on wetlands. So all the roads out there are just empty. It's pretty awesome, if you ask me

Try asking some of your family members. That's what I did. I detailed my aunts car, grandmas car, etc, then then tell their friends.. etc etc. I have more business that I can keep up with most of the time!

Well, only my brother, dad, and mom live in this country.

[johnnehh]

Not really an "update" but I removed that heat shielding under the hood... Looks like they forgot to paint :[

The next project will be painting it black to make it look decent.




EDIT: there was supposed to be a before and after pic but my computer hates me. Sorry for the useless post, lmao. I'll edit this post tomorrow when it's light outside. I deleted the other pic and lost the link

[SwissFerdi]

Yeah, your wheels and engine bay look similar, I guess it's the red strut bar.

[richee3]

Now that you have those rims, aren't you glad you didn't paint the stockers?
