yeah, the factory side skirts look boo-boo when added with that lip. Looking to get possibly get the Ridox lip with CF accent to go with it.
  Granted he added the Home Depot lip to the front lip to get it to set herrafrush with the side skirts. Or I might go with the Do-Luck sides with CF accents as well. Still up in the air aboot it. This post has been edited by NgoFcukinWay: Mar 14, 2016 - 8:55 PM -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}

Almost forgot, saw my old Celica yesterday. Still looks the same as it did when I owned it, nice to know it's being taken care of.

You might could use one from a 4th gen Firebird, it tucks under the battery tray with the filler neck running out to the side since there's nowhere else for it.
Speaking of Firebird, ordered a radio install kit and other small stuff like wiper blades and filters. This post has been edited by Box: Mar 15, 2016 - 6:23 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Popped the front bumper back on the Celica and took it out for a spin before the storms came in. Was nice to drive it again, forgot to not drive on the one road because it's badly frost heaved from winter so I had a little bobble head going on. Got the brakes good n hot, I think one side may be sticking a little, I need to take a closer look before too long. My temp gun battery was dead so I couldn't check it, but the ashy streaks on the rotor tell me I got it hot, could have also been the 4 60-0 and then 2 80-0 stops to 'rub the rust off' from sitting over winter.

Think I might have found a set of wheels for the Firebird, a set of chrome(meh) 18x9.5 rims off a Corvette wrapped in Nexen tires. Was leaning towards getting something off, or made for, a BMW as the bolt pattern is only off by .65mm and they'll fit without issues just to have something different since EVERYONE does Corvette rims. Seeing that I need tires anyway figured would make sense to find some rims I like with good tires on them as there's usually good deals to be had that way.

How do you accidentally partially charge? Or did you mean discharged? Anyhow snapped a picture of the radio at night:

Radio looks good.
I spoke correctly. I screwed the can tap onto a can to make sure it fit the can and tightened all the way, not paying attention the pin wasn't fully retracted. So I had to charge in 12oz of 134a to my system, I got pretty much all 12 in there, but it's too cold outside to put enough heat load on the system to get it charged by pressure correctly. Seems to be leak free though, but leak wasn't my problem, high highside pressures were my problem which I think was due to missing 1/2 the fins on my condenser. -------------------- |

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

For some reason the hatch speakers and tweeters were replaced with a coaxial set so will be replacing them, brother found a 4" woofer and a tweeter from Dayton Audio that's supposed to be really good.Ahhh ok gotcha, that's lame. I would say hopefully it'll be warm up there soon but it's 51º here as I speak. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
