Sammakko's first non-toyota, Yeti.
 
Good afternoon folks.

I've been a toyota guy my whole life, but after renting a GT86 while working in australia, i couldn't get it out of my head.

Fast forward a few months, and I purchased used, a 2013 BRZ limited.

Mods so far:
RPF1's, 17x9, +35
BFG Rivals, 245 40
Supertek intake/filter
muffler delete.

Mods i'm working on:
Koni rear struts, koni rear sleeves and perches, Eibach 450lb springs, HVT rear perches with custom machined lower bushings.
Koni front strut inserts, stock strut housings cut off, new perches welded, Allstar Performance sleeves, HVT zero-lift camber plates.

I'm intending on fully prepping for STX, but need to sell a few other toys first, including my '74 Celica GT.

Have you got any pictures of your Celica?

Those are such beautiful little cars. I miss mine badly. :-/

i have more welding for the lower perch to finish tomorrow (i hadn't eaten in like 9 hours, so i could only manage a few tack welds on the perches), then a quick cleanup, and off to powdercoating. haven't decided on a color for the housings yet. . .

Sammakko 03-17-2015 06:11 AM

Powdercoating came out awesome!

they're ready for install finally.

The celica GT is my dream car! so cool that you owned a nice example like that. Looking forward to seeing more from your build sir!

Any plans for power mods or are you going to focus mainly on the leg work of your car at this point?

i'm in the midst of a 400+whp toyota starlet build. for now i'm happy running ridiculously expensive e85 on my stockish BRZ, while finishing MeJulie.

word of advice. if you run across a healthy RA21/TA22, buy it, and then immediatly PM me. i can tell you how not to blow over 10 grand on basically nothing.

side note, i did sell it to a guy who didn't destroy (stance)(drift turd) it.
