That's what I would've been sitting on.. lol







Meh, I figured I ain't seen an interior done quite like this.... Something Different...

Just swap the cushions and covers from the passenger to the driver side, what I did.

E>

Lol, actually.... that's very clever.

Still Totally goin denim tho...

FYI, that limited edition above the badge is just a sticker. but yeah, don't know if you can peel it off nicely and reuse.

Yeaah, I actually noticed that today while I was putting the wheels on. Im Kinda relieved it wasn't painted, now I have no reason not to paint the entire car the same color...

What's Mario's favourite kind of pants?

Denim denim denim. Denim denim denim.

I SHOULD do her up super Mario style.

The white celly, with the red fenders, with the denim interior. A lil one up mushroom above the exhaust... Totally...

BAM! Outside of my new, way better, place of employment.

Lol

looking better everyday. great job so far.

What is this state inspection thing?

>

Thank you. I mean it. I've put many hours into her, here in my Apts parking lot... I glow every time I drive her those extremely short distances. By the end of the week I SHOULD have enough money to.finish off the running gear and get her registered... And legal.... For less.


(And to my surprise, my land lord has been SUPER cool about me putting in work out there. Granted, I clean up every time I stop working on it (even when I leave to go get parts) although theres a rule in the lease agreement to NEVER do ANY kind of auto repair here... So I'm extremely grateful for that.).


>

And as for state inspections.... It's this little thing Pennsylvania does to attempt to make sure your car holds together safely for the next 12 months. Lol and on a related note: since I'm employed now at a said "inspection station" I'm reasonably certain i can get my stickers finally as there is a 4-2-1 header equipped lol and Pennsylvania TOTALLY frowns on catalytic converter deletion devices.(hefty fines + repair cost = more than I care to spend.). But if anyone asks.... you dunno nuttin!

Seems silly if you ask me.

Ehh the cat thing is easy to get around. Especially on newer cars.

I'm just being a little paranoid about it. I've had too many fines in the past for dumb stuff.

Well, got a letter this weekend from penndot. They're suspending my license next month... Yet AGAIN. (this will be the 3rd time in my life :smacks forehead:) I made a couple bad decisions last year, and just now I'm paying the price.... But, it will only be for 90 days. At which point, I should be done with her completely (yea, right. A project is NEVER complete. ) now, its just a matter of patients. Obeying... Waiting... It'll be all worth it too. I got to test drive her in the past week, and she's definitely still got some fight in her. But, what feels like bad strut mounts, and a blown rear
motor mount, makes her road feel a little askew. Lol
So, I'm going to put her back under the knife.
So come time this fall when I'm all legal again, she should be sporting a new stance, and a couple other upgrades... (turbo perhaps? Nitrous? We'll see what the budget allows)

So, Until the month of Oct, (which will mark a full year since my hardest days in recent memory) shell be prowling the pavement... So, until then... Celly sleeps...

it's bad when I know exactly where you got your parts from, who you got them from and the fact that there's so few of us in the general area. We neet to have a pitt/butler/armstrong county/ clarion county meetup. The general vicinity has a handful of us. Oh and to the asshole driving through butler who decided to paint their celica white because they kept getting pulled over, KNOCK IT OFF! Now I'm getting pulled because they think i'm you and there's like 3 of us from here to pitt. It's some chick and she's ruining it for everyone.

>

I agree completely, both with the fact that we need to band together here in the area, and that dumb broad needs get her license pulled.

But, to stay on a positive note: we should totally orchestrate a meet some time. And do it annually, or semi-annually or whatever. So we can exchange info, and tighten up our 6 gen community around these parts. As I've spotted quite a few around the monroeville, turtle creek, Churchill,penn hills, and I saw one in mckeesport too...

Your a lucky man, i'm trying to find a rear bumper support, mine wont pass inspection without it. Most of the other ones i've seen while traveling through there are beat to hell or someone is babying it to the extreme (as they should). I bought mine smashed from a college kid for 500 bucks and repaired it. But my local guys told me that one just went to the scrapper in harmony so i'm going to try and salvage parts first. Its a whole florida car so if you need something hit them up it's wagner foreign salvage (724) 368-8831 We definitely need to orchestrate a meet soon. My car is bordering 200k miles and if you saw it you'd never know it. I love this thing and we need more enthusiast. Where do you reside?
My mechanic said theres less of these around than we may realize and I need to start piling parts.


And yes she does, it's absurd. She got pulled over right in front of my house a week ago swerving in and out of 2 lanes.

Thank you. I do realise how fortunate I am, considering all that's happened in the past three years. I'm extremely grateful however for how everything transpired, however. Even the hardships as they did. Had it not played out the way it did, I wouldn't have met my amazing, supportive (celica owning) girlfriend, wouldn't have ever gotten this car, AND, I would more than likely STILL be an arrogant douche as well. Lol

I've noticed the comradory that fellow celica owners share as well... As ive owned Honda/acuras, Chevys, and fords.. Never have I experienced such a pleasant car community before. (Others are pretty much a pissing contest)

I'm actually in turtle creek myself. (there's four other 6g celicas in this town alone I've spotted including my gf's, one being this Uber clean OEM white one with factory skirts, I saw an "elderly" man driving it.)

Best of luck on your build as well, as I've also notice how sparse platform specific parts are. mine personally has 207xxx on the odometer, and runs surpringly well. (i suspect a newer motor, I need to stopbeing lazy and check the vin numbers to be sure it was swapped or not. Lol)

I'm not sure what ur financial situation is, but there is a 6g convertible for sale just up the street. It has a "custom" paint job, black with what appears to be harlequin racing stripes. Pretty cherry condition however.

But one of these weekends we should do a meet, maybe have a meet/ BBQ in the parkinglot here for 4th of July. As I'm sure my neighbors would love the activity(seriously, they would support it. Lol), and my landlord probably couldn't care less just as long as we clean up after ourselves.

Speaking of dumb ass broads driving a Celica. On my way home from working yesterday some bitch in a 7GC was behind me. The entire time I noticed she kept swerving side to side, sometimes crossing over the center line. Turned off onto the road to my house, as does she. She gets worse as this road is fairly curvy. I'm assuming she was texting, which is now illegal here. I had to pull into my driveway faster than I like to so she wouldn't hit me...

>


Well I'm gonna shoot you off a message man. We definitely should do something. Fourth of July weekend will be a cop fest though and there's always that chance of being shutdown. My wife wants me to do a 3sgte swap with h a 6 speed automatic tranny because she refuses to drive a 5 speed but thinks my celica is "pretty". Most women and celicas don't mix you got lucky bud.

>
I disagree, Celicas are TOTALLY women's cars. 7th gens especially... Around here, you can totally tell which gender owns a 7th gen by it's condition. Beat all to hell, it is and always has been a college girl's car. Leave phone number on windshield FTW.

>



It's the same down here in NC, Dan.

But at least we know of one female 6th gen. owner who takes care of her car.

>

My dads been saying that all my life but people say the same thing about miatas. As long as its not covered in flowers and **** these cars look like baby supras in my eyes. Even had someone ask me if it was one a few weeks ago. Their car knowledge must have been pretty limited but I love these damn cars and girls have a tendency to beat the hell out of them.

Not all girls are rough on celicas
Liz tends to baby the coupe more than I do lol

While we're on the subject what kills me is when you're reading through eBay and Craigslist ads, and you have "FEMALE OWNED AND DRIVEN." Really now, so what does that mean anyway and what are you trying to imply?

>


My wife scares the hell out of me behind the wheel. She'd rather wreck into somebody instead of letting them go when its her turn and they pull out. Women drivers scare me, the stereotype is true for a lot. You don't know how many I see texting and driving it's scary as hell.

I've seen a few just in the last two days... How most people get their driver's licence I'll never know.
