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!

Maiden Voyage last night. I forgot how squirmy the suspension on this things was! Sure is fun though Too bad rain is forcasted most of the week! I am ready to bring it out. I have a stripe to put on the side, but I found that 2 pieces of it are missing. I took the pieces that I needed...

Thanks guys! Getting closer and closer every day I do need to remove the front bumper and modify the mounts. They interfere with the intercooler pipe elbows, so I will have to cut them and make some space. Rare mounts.... but I don't want to go through the trouble of selling them and...

Rear end all put together minus glass Underhood put back together, glass installed, wiper stuff restored and installed Not your average garage paint job! Photobucket kills the quality sadly. It's like a mirror (its the lower part of the drivers door)

Someone sent me a private message asking about this swap. Their inbox is full, so I'm going to post it here in hopes that he'likes see it. I'll answer the other comments in a week. Thanks guys Hey man, check this thread out that I made. And read everything...

Can't wait to get it out on the road, even though I already did a nice burnout in front of my house :woot: I have been doing a lot of small stuff, installing seals, door mechanisms, window tracks, cleaning odds and ends. I am enjoying it though. I have also painted and installed my front...
