sweet.
not enough people have the balls to paint their CF hoods... it adds a whole new dimension to the hood. Double take material all the way.
"hey look at tha- wait... WTF?"
very nice work.
cept now people are going to ask you "hey, how'd you get the paint to look like that??" while they're pointing at the CF part...
First one I've ever seen in person, let alone in fargo.
Just wondering if they're on FS and if they maybe want to sell me their car.
I see it all the time on 25th street.
Toyota sells the cavalier as the "toyota cavalier" in japan.
That's why there's TRD stuff for them. Pretty lucky actually...
if you're going to spend 150 bucks on that switcher, you might as well just spend like 500 on a new receiver that has everything you need... 3 sets of component video and 3 digital audio ins.
Or, just use your xbox as your dvd player and get rid of the dvd player.

She doesnt look like a "weed smoker" at all. GOD DAMN what was this chick thinking?!?!?!
what exactly does a "weed smoker" look like??
y'know, so i can ask them for pot instead of the cops...
I see it every day too... to say it's "pink" is an understatement. It's like nuclear fusion pink. Like if the sun was pink, it would be that color pink.

Saw a white STi sitting out in front of take 2 on 45th tonight around 9:50 or so. Light shade of tint, stereo going, looked like aftermarket front bumper, 2 chicks walked out and drove off in it. Had exhuast too. The front bumper looked a little messed up though
That's the chick that works at green mill. I think her name is christine. I also think it's not her car... since she drives a blue 350z during the summer months. The one that says "fairlady" on the windshield.
there's a chick that works at green mill that drives a white four door subaru every day... i've never looked close enough to know if it's a wrx/sti/rs or whatever... it looks like it's been hit in the front at least once...
no one will take me seriously, but the 5e series engine from toyota has a MASSIVE base of customers looking for aftermarket support.
There isn't any support at all for tercels and paseos beyond 80's style body kits... I'd be willing to donate my car for research purposes if i got a cut rate on the resultant turbo goodies. A mass produced equal length turbo manifold would be a first for the 5e-fe and 5e-fhe guys everywhere. And since it seems like everyone that owns paseos and tercels is pretty short on money 99% of the time, getting everything needed for turbo purposes in one kit is usually the only route people will take. Right now the only shop that's doing ANYTHING for these cars is in Miami, and that's a long ass drive from here...
If you want a taste of the base of people that would be interested in this stuff, you can check out http://board.tercelonline.com and let the people on there know what your plans are. I'm sure you'll spike some interest.
yeah that was me, stanger. I remember your car. You bought suspension stuff, but something was wrong with the swaybars, like they were smaller than stock or something, that's too bad... My car was the dirty ass red tercel sitting in the shop.
stichucky - is your hood the one that the scoop ripped off at the track? If so, it's still there, but as far as being fixed, i have no idea. You can send me a private msg if you want his number, i guess.
The thing with caleb is if you want your shit to get done, you gotta bug him all the time about it. When i took my car there for the swap i stayed there with him until like 1 am alot of those nights because i had a feeling if i wasn't there, he'd be doing something else. I'm not talking shit, cuz i think he does amazing work... everything i've seen around here that's a product of type-r has been amazing. But you gotta kinda keep him on track. But you know what they say...
CHEAP
GOOD
FAST
Pick two. Caleb is cheap and good, just not the quickest guy around
the owner of the prix took it back and loaned him the grand am instead.
trust me, i'm a bored mofo and usually end up at type r for an hour or two a day...
hey guys, I know no one knows who I am anyway... but he's there pretty much every day. You just have to go between like 3 and 6 PM. If you're driving by and you see a maroon 2 door grand am, he's there. That's what he's driving now.
and he owns all the cars outside except for the black RX-7, so no worries about customers, really.
He has a phone number, but it's shared with a couple other guys at his house so posting it on here would be kind of rude, i guess.
He did think it was kind of funny that there were people concerned about his whereabouts though haha
thanks everybody.
and chuck - i saw your car last night at like 2 AM. Looks f'n sweet man... but now the white wheels have got to go.
good luck at the show, I might swing up there after work.

the metro has a suziki swift GTI engine. 1.3L DOHC. 100 hp stock, good for a 0-60 of about 8.5 and a quarter mile in about 16.5. That's in the swift, in the metro it's probably even faster.
i've seen it up close. It's pretty badass.
hey everyone
i've been reading FS for a while but never posted before because I really don't have anything to say.
I have a 94 2 door tercel with the following:
5efhe engine from the toyota Sera
5 speed manual tranny
custom short shifter
2.25" mandrel bent exhaust from downpipe back through a magnaflow performance cat, single core resonator and dual core resonator (no muffler)
KYB GR-2 struts front and back
TRD lowering springs
Anti-lift plates
upper strut tower brace from a starlet GT
Paseo 4-bolt pillowball strut mounts
anti sway bar from a paseo (not installed...yet)
custom fabricated throttle cable bracket
custom fabricated intake setup (mainly stock)
K&N air filter
paseo cluster
paseo seats
800 watt stereo, all pioneer, clarus and MB Quart
custom made door panels/speaker pods
trunk release and fuel door release from a paseo
DX headlight conversion
miscellaneous custom dents and scratches...
I'm sure I'll get flamed here, because "it's just a tercel"... I have good intentions though. A GT28 turbo with a fmic is definitely in the future, as well as better suspension stuff.
anyway, you've seen it if you're ever at Type-R.
