Recently took the Celica on another BC road trip with a friend of mine and his Audi S5. Found some fantastic roads in the vicinity of Needles, New Denver and Kalso. The brakes got so hot that the wheels started to tick/clank as they cooled.
I've got some pictures I'll post up when I find a new place to upload them, I'm out of room on the forum's gallery.
As for the car itself, it's now up to 157,000 km and still running strong. Upcoming mods:
-Purchased 17x8 et35 OZ Cronos from the GT4OC to replace my 16x7 et30 Cronos, so they will likely be up for sale sooner or later.
-Fixed a faulty tachometer (bad capacitor)
-Waiting on new OEM bulbs for some burnt out bulbs in the HVAC unit, although I also ordered some LED replacements from SuperbrightLEDs.com which I think will work. Will compare them back to back to see how they look.
-Ordered new rear hatch gas struts - originals are getting too weak to hold the hatch open.
-Ordered new rubber exhaust hangers (some are discontinued) because the exhaust was starting to rattle and rub against the rear subframe and rear right CV boot
-Thinking about ordering a set of the TTE Mirrors from the GT4OC.
Pictures to come.
