eNtrax's 3rd celica (3S-GE/5SP)

new look and new wheels next week

 

sorry nate, gotta post it before i get lazy!!

ALMOST done. just need to repaint the alltrac bumper!
7th gen wheels, 195/55/15, st162.net/rear/side decals from 89celicagt, dirty shot,

 

i was going for an oem look, plus 5x100 is such a pain to find wheels for. Either too expensive or wrong offset. I like how these have the same offset, rotation travel, center bore. I may go for the 16'' oem if i can find them

with these set of tires, i learned to mount and balance tires on wheels!

 

more pic dump , i had a 2km stretch of straight, but had problems getting past 190km/h...still needs more tune up.
changed the gaskets after the first portion of the exhaust, the two-pipe; need 1 new stud...

also did the starter relay fix. no more hot re-start issue.





yeh a little bit of rustbugs

me thinks i need a new distributor...or rotor/cap. rough mornings, restarting sometimes sounds like it's on 3 cylinders.
need to weld on a flexpipe too...
and i think my input shaft bearing is going too. faint whirring when car is accelerating/decelerating, clutch engaged (foot out), but sound disappears when i step on the pedal (disengage clutch). gears change just fine, no crunch (except for typical reverse)

 

snow! i guess i'm more of the type to mess around with my car than keep it garaged away from the fun!

my buddy was leaving the same school i was at and he always records his daily trips for fun. i just so happened to be just ahead of him so his video caught me sliding around lol

 

thanks!

they were factory standard for usdm gt-s and convertibles! Easy to find, but the mudflaps at the front are hard as most have torn off. They're the same side skirts as jdm gt-fours!
