Newbie i suppose
« on: February 24, 2010, 05:53:17 am »
Hi all another newbie to the site. Im a GT4 owner calling in from japan-land, and ive owned my car now for about a good year. And ever since ive loved and beat the hell out of my car ever since ^_^...i think she loves the abuse though...

Anywho, i dont have many pics i can upload now, but ive done alot to the car.
Mostly standard maintenance things, but also..

Front and rear swaybars
Front and rear strut bars
Steel-braided brake lines
Shifter cable bushings
TRD engine mounts
3inch downpipe-3in exhaust all the way back
HKS filter/BOV
TRD sparkplug wires
TRD thermostat
New 255lph fuel pump in a few weeks
APexi AVCR boost controller
Lightweight flywheel
Stage 2 clutch
Project Mu brake pads front-no name on the rears lol
TRD slotted brake rotors all around
Potenza RE-050's all around
TRD adjustable dampning shocks.

Not too impressive from other car builds out there, but its a start and its a fun ride to say the least...got an ever bigger list of mods in the upcoming future. Anywho, i hope to share and learn here like i have with the other celica sites, and hopefully meet some other owners out here in japan...maybe, lol....

Welcome to the club mate ;)

That's a nice start to the modding route. What plans have you got for your 4?

I'm sure you'll have plenty of pics when you get the chance ;)

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome, and as far as future plans go its along the lines of aftermarket radiators, and a water injection system. Im all about keeping things cool. As far as suspension imma go the tein set if i can.....anywho, before i say to much, anybody got any opinions or such about water induction on our cars? And also, what other crazy builds have you guys done to your cars....might give me some ideas ^_^

Woo! Those alloys don't look so bad actually, I'm not normally a fan of even numbers of spokes! Get that bay clean!

The dirty bay came after a nice day of playing in the mud. About a month ago, i had to change cluthces, so while the engine was out, i took some time to clean it all up....phew was it a mess....but always worth...

Good looking car and a smart set of wheels. I much prefer the clean look of a car without side skirts etc. A high rise rear spoiler is essential though.
