    Here is my car when I first bought it









    Happy is a kid in a candystore.
    Even though I bought it I had to do some repairs. The exhaust had to be completely replaced and some more stuff. Of course than I didn't know about forums yet.




    I started changing things about the car.
    Altezza lights
    Some meters
    Painting interior stuff




    But than, less than a year after I bought the car, it appeared to be using quit a bit of oil.
    As a student I wasn't the most rich person but also didn't want to part from the car.

    So a KLZE was bought.

    Somebody in a famous movie once said "With great power, comes great responsibility"
    For me with great power comes great stopping power

    Sandler brake discs
    Ferode ds2500 pads
    Goodridge brakelines

    My stoppingpower went from 1680 to 4560 !!
    (perhaps old was bad to, but a big improvement)



    After this my audio was created. Together with a friend we started as two noobs making an audio layout







    In the meanwhile I've destoyed 1 woofer (after 2 weeks already) and 2 amps.
    The newest amp



    The woofer is a bit large at the moment but who knows what will happen in the future.


    Next up: New wheels !
    Searching for over 6 months to find the wheels that I was really fund of. In the end I've found them in Belgium and so far I've only seen one Toyota Celica with thesame rims. Uniquenesss :love:

      After making the nailsfield a littlebit better on the audio it was time to buy some bumpers.. Bumpers as in Rice ??
      Yes bumpers as in Rice :mrgreen:

      I like them so worked hard, saved up money and bought a nice kit.
      But... it didn't stop there. Of course the car had to be repainted.

      So..
      Repaint in Panther Black which is a metallic black with some blue sparkles in it.






      And off to the painter.
      These nice guys did some more things.
      ANGRY Eye mod on the hatch !!! :welder:


      no more sidemarkers


      rearbumper adapted a bit


      Hood with scoop and evil look


      Skirts molded


      And of course the hatch




      Huh? What's this... a hole in the trunk?


      Ow yeah.. for these baby's... Like it or hate it :welder:


      Finished after painting and stuff



      At that time my car was valued at 15,500 euro.

        After the painting job I went to live in San Diego for a while so my project back in the Netherlands come to a pauze.

        Of course living in the US has its advantages so parts collecting started.
        Walbro fuelpomp



        Thermal spacers


        MSD window switches for vris control


        Magnecor leads


        Millenia alternator


        Aasco 9lb fly


        Clutch line


        And some laughing stuff



        Back in the Netherlands all those things had to be installed of course.
        When taking the clutch off for the flywheel it appeard the clutch was already smoked !! :crying:
        The MF>LKJ sold me cheap *ss ebay clutch that was worn out within 1,5 year /25k.

        So the ClutchMasters stage 3 had to take it's place and be resistant enough against the nitrous vailance.

        Then I did some more wiring stuff





        some separte fuseboxes for aftermarket stuff






        Bought a rear seat of the second gen (like it better)




        Put a different testpipe under the car


        Bought a SRD ebrake cover ~ and redid the armrest


        Then I bought some seats Which are sooooo good :love2:



        And started working on my intake manifold
