You need to put a front lip on that bumper. Bad. I had a Eurou lip in black for a gt-four ..... But I solds it

Damn dude. I just got my tax return and was literally about to make a wtb euro lip, willing to pay an arm and leg Post haha what a coincidence. But I decided against it last second because I have some parts that are priority for my swap that I need to buy first. I totally would have bought it.

I got some front spats that will be going on real soon for the meantime though.

High five!

Did some small stuff over the last week. Installed some Volvo washer jets which are amazing. The old ones are like weak squirt guns squirting your wind sheild and honestly it didn't even clean good or cover enough area for de icing purposes..these ones are like arcing mist and cover like the whole windsheild . Then I put on some clear sides and front indicators. Here's some pics from a local toyota get together I was at yesterday:

How did you get Volvo jet nozzles on there?

Volvo part # 30655606

Super easy, just take the old ones out, and put the new ones in.

[HectortheRican]

Interesting... how much did they run if you don't mind me asking?

[mak5603]

£30 GBP, like around $40-$50.

[HectortheRican]

Damn, that ain't bad. After reading your description, I might get me a set.

[chacha]

wow...that's expensive...here at the dealership..it cost 12 bucks...but downside is they have to order it from the warehouse.

I plan to put one on the rear as a replacement but i don't know how high it will shoot if it'll be right on the windshield...do you think that nozzle will shoot off too low or too high for the rear (if you go a hatchback or lift-back)....can you test the volvo nozzle for the rear?

Yeah, it was a lot because I couldn't originally find the part # because I don;t know the technical term and I was getting frustrated so I just typed in something like "volvo wind shield jet" and these came up, the only pair of OEM ones with no neon or anything. Basically it was a third party seller of the OEM part and it was in Europe so originally I saw the price and thought it was US then when I realized it was pounds I just wanted them so bad I got them anyways, haha.

Yeah I will definitely try it on the rear as I want a new rear one too. It should work, the front ones aim pretty low but wide and cover the width of the wind shield which is really nice, if it works good maybe we can go halves on a rear one from a Volvo dealer now that I got the part #?

[chacha]

im fine with that...i just called them up...i figure since you got them for the fronts...it should be easy for you to just test fit them to see how they play out on the rear...my just drizzle water down, it doesn't even spray anymore; what's worst is, it stopped working, probably clogged up, but i figure the hole is the same as the front for the hood and from the looks of the nozzle...they all seem to be the same (might as well replace the worn rear nozzle too). I was just worried about the height the nozzle would spray for the volvo nozzle. let me know

Yeah same with my rear one. I'll check it as soon as it stops snowing.

[mak5603]

Sorry Chacha, still haven't gotten around to fitting the washer jet to my rear washer yet.

I received my TRD rain deflector for GT4 hood a few days ago. I went with black anodized and today added my own personal touch. Also did some work on my motor and took a lot of parts for cleaning etc. Was a pretty good day.

Here's a pic of what I did to my rain deflector, didn't get pics of it installed but will tomorrow. I think it looks awesome on the car.

[delusionz]

rain deflector looks great,

i like the gauge cluster conversion, nice touch in a US Celica I could imagine,

hey what did you do with the spoiler? it looks like you shaved off gt-four is that what you did? or is it just too hard to see in pics?

Nope, you're seeing it right. My blocks are shaved.

Thanks for the compliments.
