I have driven the car more this past summer than I have in any previous summer. I have had a ton of fun with it. It pains me sometimes every time I hear a rock kick up and hit the paint... since the car is so nice now. I know it is bound to happen though, and I have mostly gotten over that by...

Thanks guys!! I have another video under the car of some violent wheelhop! I am amazed how much it moves around even with the poly bushings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDhLMbh_J4g

I appreciate it! It's nice setting a goal for something nice! As for obtaining the skills.... mostly, I just honestly can't really afford to pay other to do things for me. I really can't imagine what it would have cost to pay someone to do everything that I have done! So in the end, I just...

Anybody interested in some videos?? I took it to the strip again the other day. I expect it do do terrible now that it is lowered a bunch and with smaller tires. but I still did pretty OK. 11.48 @ 124 mph. my best last time I went was 11.20 @ 123, but this is a much different suspension...

Thanks! It definitely stops a lot better now! I've been enjoying the car quite a bit this year. It's not normal for me to have it out so early because I always end up just working on it all summer! Here are some pics from the MSU car show. This one is my favorite! I have it framed on my...

This is the third and final update for today. Some friends dropped by to help me bleed the brakes a few days ago, just so happened to be a nice day, so I figured, why not take it out for a little cruise! The exhaust is basically dragging on the ground, and is just an open downpipe, but I didn't...

* reserved for brake updrades

As you may have read previously, I had some issues with my rear axle. after weighing my options, I figured that it would be best to fix what I have, and to get it narrowed like I should have a long time ago. I cleaned the housing for a few hours, ground material out of the cracks, and then...

Thanks! I finally picked up some brakes for it. Drilled and slotted Mini Cooper rotors, custom brackets, and 4 piston aluminum RX-7 Calipers. Was way less than I expected to spend. Was planning 1100 on the T3 kit, but I got these, with hubs and extended studs for 350. WIN, and a huge...

Some new shoes and suspension stuff for next season

Thanks TE72!! I'll figure something out I finally caved and got a custom vanity plate "TOYYOTA" Local Fall car meet A friend of mine, Sarah, took some rolling shots for me at the end of the season...

I have put about 700 miles on it so far. I have gotten tons of compliments on the paint, nobody can believe that it is a garage job. Its a pretty good feeling to know that all that hard work paid off I have discovered a couple major issues with the car though. Leaky head gasket I believe, not...

Here are a few more pictures of the car mostly finished (except for 3 pieces of stainless that I have been avoiding restoring) I received the rest of my duplicated stripe from W4 signs, and they are a perfect match and look great. Let me know what you think!

This is in my 1977 Celica Liftback

Thanks! I have been driving it the last couple days!
