My T23 Celica
 
Finaly i got my own car, bought it about a month ago and so far im really happy with it.
Going to get some work done on the paint, due to some spots in the paint.
And in a month or two im going to buy myself new speakers, head-unit and maybe a sub(most likely not). Im going for sound quality so no shaky bass that supresses the sound of everything that isnt bass.

Here are some photos i just took of it.

Plans for the future:
New wheels
TRD or HKS exhaust
New head-unit, speakers and maybe a sub
If im going with a sub im also going to make a glassfibre sub box in the same color as the car.(atleast try)

Sick!!

I love seeing the members ride section :). +1 for HKS!.

When I think of it, I should really update my ride section hmm

its nice, I used to have a 6 gen Celica and loved it

Martin-Andre 03-05-2013 07:34 AM

mglavina, you should really update your thread, i really love ur Mazda 6, beautifull interiour in that car!

Ive made a decision now, im going to make a glassfiber sub box.
But the box isnt going to be done untill late May sometime. Since I spent almost everything i got on the car.
My box will hopefully end up something like this:

Not that big but the design is almost right
But ill be selling my boat and moped soon, hopefully i have money to buy myself a good set of speakers and amplifiers.

mglavina 03-05-2013 08:19 PM

good stuff!

And yeah I really should update my thread the amount of mods now is pretty extensive lol

Plasti-dipped my wheels today, turned out pretty good, not completely happy with it, because of i have no experience at all with spray paint. Ill post up some new pictures later today ;)

Martin-Andre 03-07-2013 09:41 AM

As promised here are the dip photos.

I love the basic idea behind plasti dip, if you get tired of the old color, you can just peal it off, without any difficulties.
Im probably going to re-do all four wheels due to bad execution, wasnt easy to spraypaint them while on the car.
But the result is pretty much flawless matte paint if done right!

Things take time when you are in the navy. Low pay and no spare time. But 30.04.13 my new wheels will be on their way!

Hey Martin,that's a nice ride you got there :)

Martin-Andre 07-26-2015 06:51 PM

Thank you, RK!
The Celica project is dead tho. Recently started digging into a 91' mazda mx5.
I still drive the Celica as my daily driver but there will be no further mods to this car.

As it sits now i have had the wheels powdercoated in silver gray metallic paint.
2x10" Kicker Comp R Subwoofer run by a Audison amplifier.(this **** kicks)
Shorty antenna
Flaking clearcoat
Cracked windscreen
But technically great.
This will be the way it sits untill I put away the car to get a new windscreen, as for paint im probably not going to do anything since im most likely to sell the car when i get the MX5 roadworthy... or where i want it :L

Ill be making a thread with the MX5 soon :)
