I recently purchased this car, and am looking to do EXTENSIVE modifications with it. I have only done minor modifications, and they are in progress, but I envision this car turning heads, as well as some time slips.
Current Mods:
- Painted interior accent panels (in progress, pic below)
- Reverse Glow (elgauges.com) gauge face (also in progress. in the mail, will update following install)
Planned Mods: (Mostly what I can think of at this moment. Not all-inclusive)
- Interior
--Custom car seat covers (leather)
--Completed paint on accent panels
--Replacing fabric door panels with leather (seat match)
--Complete lighting rework on instruments (from "Pumpkin Orange" to blue)
--Navigation system to replace stock 2din radio
--CarPuter (Also to control EMS)
--Custom headliner
--Window tint
- Engine Bay
--Cold air intake
--Ported exhaust/intake
--Flywheel, pulleys, belts
--Painted engine panels (Plastic panels)
--Turbo (8 psi) with GReddy E-manage, injectors, intercooler
--Custom exhaust
- Suspension/Braking
--Tein shocks w/PBUM and EDFC
--Big brake kit
--Strut tower braces, roll control
--Camber adjust (if needed)
- Exterior
--Shaved door handles, antenna
--17" Aluminum wheels
--C/F hood and trunk lid
--Custom one-off mods (Electronic)
----Brake light on wing to resemble Caddy light. LED chase in direction of turn signal
----"Celica" impression under hatch release assy. removed and backlit
--HID Halo headlights
--Tail lights
As you can see, I'm pretty anxious to get knee deep in this car. I am also in need of some help to get my car to where it needs to be. The interior is very good, but the exterior is needing some work. This car will be well maintained, and will be a daily driver. The biggest issue with this baby is keeping it CARB compliant. (Military on base) Let me know if you can help to realize this car's future!
