Representing the Celica crew! This was delivered to me today... A 1989 ST165 GT-Four. It's in good nick, no nasty patches of rust and nearly all of the electrics work. It even has electric seat lumbar and bolster adjusters!

It'll be stored in a garage over winter, then I will be restoring it to its former glory. And yes... those are aftermarket hub caps, haha.

I wish I could like this more than once. :drool:

Congrats! Beautiful car!
 
decided i needed to get something a little more spacious and practical earlier this year when we had a baby. but being a car guy I needed something I could still tinker with and make my own. I sacrificed manual transmission so i could have all the bells and whistles like leather heated seats, hid's and led taillights, and this unique paint color.

08 Mazda 5 Grand Touring in Golden Sand Metallic. Megan Springs, 18" staggered Enkei wheels.

So I ended up doing ONE more track event this past Tuesday at NJMP. I'll post a few on-track pictures later today or tomorrow. But for now, these are the final pictures of the season. The car is going into winter hibernation now. :(

My 'track' tires are pretty much shot after this last event. I'll probably be moving to a 17x8 wheel and 235/40/17 Toyo 888s in the spring.

When they get like this, you know you're doing something right! 👍:cheers::cool:
 
May I ask, why so many scarecrows?

I just washed it. And you know, birds and all. :sly: One can't be too careful.

Actually, it was the remains of the scarecrow decorating contest for Halloween. I just thought it would make an interesting back drop. But I had to work quickly because I figured it would be 'frowned upon' if somebody saw me drive my car into the middle of it. :P

So here are the track photos from NJMP. (This was a different event, Nov 3rd, as opposed to the Oct 17/18 I wrote about a few pages ago). And oddly enough, the weather was much better compared, and 2 weeks deeper into Fall--go figure.

I just have to make a quick plug for Mike Woeller from Windshadow Studios. If you're in the south Jersey/Philadelphia area, the guy just does great work. 👍

Ran nose to tail with this guy for most of session 4. Great fun. 👍



(And I'll leave the video here just for fun) Session II.
 
New family member. Sold the old black one in favor of a fresher-looking EP71. And yes, the Compe Rally wheels (first pic) came with the purchase as a bonus! Although they're not in the best condition, which means they'll undergo some restoration later.

First up, new wheels and tyres/tires: 14" Enkei IRS!

Not perfect, but far better than it was before.
