Went on another Photoshoot since my brother is in town for the holidays. Went to UIW for the scenery they had. Hope you guys enjoy the pics

This is how the car will end up looking for the year 2012. Hopefully my plans will work through for 2013 :D

that celica either needs more of a drop or more beef on the tires...it looks terrible with all that wheel gap and that strech..pics came out great tho!

 

Yeah he knows, he's just on stechs right now, that day is the first day we test fitted the new wheels.

 

Update

Blacked out roof and shark fin antenna :D

 

On the Celica, are those our 18x9.5 +38 SBC RPF1 custom?

 

Have you gotten tuned?

 

I believe so, same exact specs, he got them off some member from the NewCelica.org forum.

Not yet, waiting for a few more things

 

Well just an update and need a few input/opinions.

Relocated the battery to the back, and changed the intake. Pretty much that has changed it that its shorter, comes straight out, no bends and then the filter.

I used my old CAI pipe and hacked it up to fit, the MAF sensor bracket on there wasn't right, so this one is working better.

But problem is now, AFRs keep going up and down, car bogs, and you can feel sometimes like its going to die.

I haven't drove on it hard ever since, but when I do hit boost, it has died before even while I was still rolling?

CELS are for the maf sensor, I wanna say it was P0101? and also misfiring, the P0300 codes, and one for the o2 sensor reading rich.

Is it possible that just changing the pipe caused all this? I think I just need to get it retuned.

 

Yes.

Post pics, and get re-tuned.

 

Before:

You can barely see the intake pipe going under the battery.


After:

 

Car looks great man. Did you relocate your batt?

 

Thanks! & yes its relocated to the rear

 

Not much done lately. If anyone cares...


Swapped trunks with a local that had a LE.



Cleaned up, rebadged, & added my new spoiler that I had sitting around since January.



Also latest pic of the interior.

 

Noticed that my dipstick will come out a bit and oil will come out when I do small pulls, it wasn't the first time it happened. What could be the cause?

 

No one?

 

crank case pressure

 

you can drill out some holes on the valve cover to relief some pressure or u can rig the your oil cap with a breather filter.

 

something like this

That's what I found out as well after a google search. I've also read it can be your pcv system?

Also tonight the weld from the pipe on my dump tube on the waste gate has broke off. Are there any effects that can cause this? My car has been running rich since it fell off?

 

Well the weld from my dump tube off the waste gate broke off. Now it's literal open wastegate, no dump tube at the moment.

But ever since, the dip stick isn't shooting out anymore since I go into boost?

Maybe before while the weld was breaking off, there was a leak causing the dipstick to shoot out?
