Chee La's celica progression thread thing, 7AFE ---> Greytop BEAMS Options

I NEVER scraped when dropped on my Eibach Sportlines. I barely scrape tucking wheels with my D2 Coilovers... the only thing that scrapes is my low hanging exhaust and sometimes the front splitters. You'll be fine with TRD's. Your roads can't be worse than upstate NY roads.

that's good to know. yeah, I know TRD and Eibachs aren't that big of a drop so I'm not too worried.

FULL tank of gas and my won't even move. hahahah!
broke the alternator adjusting/locking bolt/bracket while changing the belt. sheesh!
I should stop doing maintainence. ends up being more work than it should be.

[RabidTRD]

Working on my car is always 1 step forward, 2 steps back, then 2 steps forward and one step back... depends on what I'm fixing, but it usually ends in rusty broken bolts and more repairs than I need to do.

[cheela]

ain't that the truth!

[SwissFerdi]

I don't even have rust to use as an excuse, but I hear you guys on that.

[cheela]

Well, got it all fixed up now.
been driving around for a while wingless, then decided to throw my euro riser blocks on.


(sorry for the sucky quality)

GTS RIMS!!!! I miss mine so much. I recommend you to never get rid of them. Sold mine and now I'm missing them. Lol. Your car looks much better with the gts rims.

[cheela]

LOL. yeah I know. I love them. I looked for mine for a long time. Trying to find a decent set without curb rash and whatnot. Most people use them for winter tires here so they suck. hahahah.

I think it matches my style that i'm going for. OEM/JDM stuff so it only makes sense that a set of OEM rims will match my car. I've never liked too many aftermarket rims and the ones I like are out of my current price range. hahaaha.

Agreed.... except mine are a stepping stone to something even more awesome.... OEM Caldina alloys (Like Richee3)

My old ones had a mean curb dent and a lot of curb rashes from the previous owner. I'm thinking of getting a set again next year. Lol.

[JoshuaM]

I bought 2 sets and picked the best 4 wheels.... then sold my second set for twice what I bought it for So total price for my 4 nice wheels was like $110 or something

[cheela]

yeah, I got mine for about $150. Had my sister and her bf go pick it up for me while I was in Korea. hahahaha. too good a deal to pass up and they were FLAWLESS with tires as well.


SMALL UPDATE FOR TODAY:
changed my oil finally after about 2 weeks being overdue but didn't drive it anyways. just sat in the garage.
also, change my brake pads to EBC Green Stuff and man!!! what a difference!!! they bite like crazy.

[cheela]

finally got the fog switch and relay put in.
hooked up my set of fogs to test and they work!
now just waiting on the second set of fog lights to come in since the first set broke in shipping... hopefully they will come through.

[Syaoran]

I'd like a set of 7gc GT-S wheels too

[cheela]

I'd like a set of 7gc GT-S wheels too

hahah. look around craigslist or newcelica forum. they're always selling them.



ANOTHER UPDATE:

after 3+ years of having the trunk drop on my head during winter I've finally replace my struts for the hatch.
bought them off ebay from a company in Wisconsin funny enough. but they work great. easy 3 min install lol.
but they're quite strong even with my spoiler+euroblock combo. springs right up.

Mine were blown so I bought new Monroe ones from rockauto before the winter and they're already done again...

[rave2n]

I've scraped on eibach sportlines, but its mainly entering a business where the curb high.

Splitters, yea. They are gunna get hit.

FL roads are horrible.

was it hard to do? I'm thinking of doing to same.

[cheela]

no, it was all plug and play. the control stalk just switches out with a few screws and then I just crawled under the driver's side and plugged in the relay. I already had the fuse for it strangely enough. but not sure for yours since yours is pre-facelift and I don't know if you have the wires for it as mine is all there.
