Hello!

First off, My name is Maverick
I have been building a 2004 Celica GTS for the last two years.

http://www.newcelica.org/photopost/d...15619_n_1_.jpg

here is a link to the celica build thread.

My first Mod was to swap the Celica and FRS wheels out because honestly the OE wheels are awful.
Then I made a custom intake.

Yesterday I drove to Nags Head North Carolina, my odometer has about 500 miles on it now.


Tomorrow I am ordering J2 dual exhaust and a Injen or Takeda intake As soon as I finish getting them installed, I will order either lowering springs or full coilovers.
I am just trying to take things one day at a time and enjoy my warranty.

New exhaust today.

Fitament is off, but it sounds great!

Another fellow NC.org member. :D

Good progress so far. What other plans do you have later on? And do you still have the Celica?

What exhaust is that? How much did you get it for and would you be able to put up a vid? I'd love to see what it sounds like off of still stock car :D

Yes, I still have the celica. It is sitting in my garage. I am building the engine again in it right now.

As for the exhaust. It is the J2 dual SS 4.5 inch tip catback. I paid just over 4 for it. there are a couple of videos on youtube of it. DNA's video is the most accurate sounding imo.

Future plans- Coilovers within the next month or two. Greddy intake, Five axxis kit, cusco or megan racing rear LCA's. Front and rear sway bars, strut tower braces, uni chip. Eventually I would like to boost it, But I want my warranty to be over first. I will be getting different wheels and tires soon hopefully.

I am also interested in Fabbing up a custom intake mainifold out of aluminum and polishing it. Thank God there is a dyno down the road for me to test potential gains.

As for carbon fiber hoods and trunks, that's a NO No, I grew out of that.
I am interested in a BBK and a cf lip, side lips and a rear diffuser.

:drool: I should have most of it done within six months.

4k?.. And any links to the YouTube vids?

Reserved for photos and updates. This is mainly a record for me to keep track of what I have done.

i swear, everytime i drive passed the auto hobby shop, your car is in there. whos going to be fitting your rocket bunny fenders? i was thinking about doing the fenders as well, but havent found a shop around here i trust to do it

Well if the vendor does not cancle my order and I end up installing them, I will be doing it myself. Also You see my car at the shop, because I work there part time hen I am not on duty.

aaaaaaaaaah i see, well sir i may just have to ask/pay you to do my fenders. whos painting them?

Well my order is supposedly canceleed now.

There is a shop downtown I have paint all of my things. I had them pant my wifes car last year and its super clean :)

If you want me to do it I can, But I will have your car for atleast 4 days. I take my time and do things perfectly. You can have the fenders painted on your own and it will be cheaper.

oh the car down time isnt an issue, its my third vehicle. you going to try and order the fenders from some where else?

Dude you need to update this build journal! I think I saw your car today parked outside the auto hobby
