Takumi's 94 Toyota Celica ST Options

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Everythings the same no ones interested in performance or doing thing's differently. The honda "Scene" is stuck in the form over function twilight zone.

Dont u just love those lil punks, lol

^^^^^ That n they're everywhere, almost like skylines in Japan, lol. Im interested in the 7a build as well. Be warned tho Tak that it does have alot of week points as far as power n durability. Wife spun a rod in hers the other week n now she wants to swap like me, lol

One of you need a v6 in your life joe lol

I do its in my 98 Chrysler Sebring which is on its last leg if, if that

Ok let me rephrase that
One of you need a v6 celica in your life lol

Hey hey hey
I did almost nothing to my last honda that wasnt to make it perform better
It still had the stock y7 but was a mildly built vtec killer.
Only thing done to it that didnt help was i slammed it.
An it was slammed too aerospeed yellow coilovers on tokiko blue( i cant rember how to spell the name lol) struts
We hen it was done i had taken the adjusters out so it was just the spring lol but with my camber kit my front was only off by 2-3 degrees.
Sold it to a buddy who has basically f@$ked the whole car up

I think Im more relucktent to say that the fact of hard to find parts like with our cars is the appeal to me versus seeing them all in every magazine u open. I mean hell (no offense Tak) but Honda guys can almost buy a whole motor from wal-mart, lol. I just hate the idea that tuners are following fads rather than standing out individually. And I really hate the fact that everyone is doing this low, cambered out look. Yeah its gorgeous on VIP cars. because they are done right. But not on a tuner. Its looks absolutely retarded. What happened to the (and I hate to use this refrence) Fast n furious days, where people kited, painted, and lowered their rides and not cambered either. Im talking letting it hover just a lil bit over the tires. I miss those days. People took pride in their cars and had an artist vision with the wild body kits and sound systems. Its was great. Now a days its, lower it, camber it, put stupid tiny rims on (which is not at all JDM trust me I know I lived in Japan for four years) add an annoyling loud exhaust and call the project finished. JUST DOWN IN OUT LAZY!!!! sorry Im having a moment, lol

Its just how the times have changed i guess joe. I cant say im even trying to be all that different
But thats mainly because i really like the nice clean of the stock parts. An i do plan on getting close to the same ride height as mak but im gonna run 16's but im gonna do what ever i can to keep my camber within a degree of perfect. But thats mainly because i love the look of a super slammed car. Hell i even like the stupid rough ride.
I couldnt even get my shoe under my old civic lol an i dd that car for about 5months like that 60-70 mile a day

But itll still be different from everyone cause of what you cant see.

Wish the 1mz was done

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Exactly the stanced or poked and "JDM" has ran it's course every car is pretty much the same.

I've never owned a kit, but some lip or half bumper kit's like lucky star produced is good looking gut expensive.

When i fist got my dx on ebay springs it was terrible!



My old b1 build on my current accord lowered on gr2s and eibach pro's i can't stand DD'n a slammed car.

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

And the build which never made it to get tuned due to oil pump failure.

I enjoy the celica more than the accord i've had my 7yr run with honda time for a change even if the celicas power plant has very little aftermarket support i wanna keep it simple anyways I/H/E should be just fine for a dd.

No love for the hondas? lol

Anyway been awhile fellas. As for updates i ordered a few things nothing special, but a few things needed replacing so i figured i'd upgrade a tad while i was at it.

Custom air intake with a drop in K&N (Still waiting on my coupler to finish that up).
And a DNA (Generic "Ebay") header since my manifold and DP are done for. It should look pretty and be lighter atleast.

Like i said nothing special but i spent under a $100 bux and a "OE" type replacement mani cost more. I'll post pictures once stuff gets here or put on, Thanks for reading my short rant.

Please excuse my buddy Kurt, he gets a little emotional sometimes, lol.

[NYp8tBaller07]

The only Honda i would buy is an s2000, the rest are not with it imo.

Any new pictures of the progress?

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Lil-Joe101: You keep thinking this is going to turn into an all out build thread, but it's not lol. I will do things here and there but nothing that will put it outta commission for more than a day or 2.

Kurt95GT: Mine was a uncommon build atleast and i'm not done with hondas forever but i am for a good while. Every car may look the same but no too engine builds will ever be the same.

NYp8tBaller07: As i said i will post pictures once i get the parts or after i install them.


Thank's for the interest guys. Any input on small performance mod's that WORK throw them at me i will entertain the ideas.

You supply the "dollhairs" and i'll put in the work. Honestly this car's fun to me because it's reliable and RUNS might not be quick but it's still fun. A few things it don't need but sorta does is cosmetic repairs, paint, springs, and wheels the last two are what i am wanting but i need to find some wheels at a bargain first.

That's how my last Honda was going too till ky buddy desidd he wanted it more than I did lol
I'll probably be back dding a Honda soon enough
Think I'm buying a wrx or a rsx in about 6months

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Yeah the 6th gen virus has spead i'm sure later down the road it will get some more goodies. I just finally got my cuppler the seller sent me a peugeot key chain aswell? so once i trim up my SS piping i should have some pix of the intake.

Kurt i would go with something besides those too, but i would take a rsx-s over a wrx unless it was a bug eye (My favorite body style).
