Chain

So this is currently how it's sitting at the moment, have custom number plates on the way so am pretty excited for them to arrive aswell
Thanks for keeping up with the things i did guys i appreciate everyones help, not to say more won't be done but things get a bit more expensive from this point on haha :)
 

Now finally onto installing my wingtips, i sanded them back and repainted them today as my paintjob wasn't what i hoped for. They are alot better now though!


This is a before photo without the tips


The wingtips aren't as glossy as they appear in the photo, not sure why it came out like that but yeah


Final product 


Really happy with how they look to be honest, definitely one of my favourite purchases so far.

Engine bay with the Celica Cover, i've ordered an Injen Spark cover and it will hopefully be here within the next few weeks.

 

 

Ended up accidentally ripping the roof wrap near my antenna and didn't have enough to redo it, so instead of re-wrapping the roof i found other things to wrap 

My mirror covers aswell as my mates' SV6's aswell 

The completed wrap, looks mad :)

Onto fixing my eyelid
 

The final product

Today i'm attempting to wrap my roof lmao, with my mate it's still not an easy job but for $45 it's a fun learning experience anyway. Any advice would be appreciated too!
Yes i am lazy and didn't want to take the antenna off, i'm just going to cut around it don't judge me
Before


Not too far off being done

Making all kinds of rear delt/tricep gains from this i can tell you

Great work. By the way how did you paint them?

Simple rattlecan mate, hung them from my garage as you can see and used these.

4 coats of primer (one can for me), as many coats as i could with the colour matched clearcoat and then to finish it off i'm going to do a few coats of the clearcoat finish. Costs like 50$ total man 

I wanted to post a photo of my engine bay all cleaned up but i'm going to wait for my Celica engine cover to show up, hopefully it's tommorow as it's apparently been in Perth the past two days? Hopefully nothings happened to it as the courier service it's being transported by is pretty sketchy.

Will update soon enough :)

Red Console mod done, looks really great. Need to cover the clock's green globe though ,just have to find it :') Photo's dont do it justice by the way, didn't realise they were of such average quality.


Painted my wingtips today, will need to install them tommorow so will update with that! Also will be fixing my eyelid aswell as the paint mark on there really bugs me. 

Cheers guys, until tommorow night enjoy! :))

6000k Lowbeam headlights installed, not as white as i wanted but happy with them regardless

New license plate LED lights and an Injen Sticker too, looks pretty good and won't be putting anymore stickers on i'd say.

New Foglight and Surround 

Installed 

My Modlist i completed today went like this;


Front Lip Off with my intake almost installed

|


Attaching the second half of the piping and tubing

Intake completely installed successfully :)

Will continue in further posts

The car is home and oh my god it is amazing,the shifting feels like a new car and the clutch has been adjusted and I can't express enough how fantastic it is compared to before. Haven't engaged lift yet, but will do that in the week sometime no doubt. Anyway, on to my first , and most exciting mod;

My intake!:) Me and my mate have been trying to install it for the past two hours, using the manual and such. We've got a bit lost as we're looking for a PWM vaccume switching valve, but I can't seem to find it? Does the stivo have such a thing or is it only applying to he XRS in America?:) hopefully will have it done by Tommorow afternoon!

EDIT: Actually after the upper resonator box or something? Can anyone guide me as to what I'm looking for please?

Also the clips on the front body kit are frustrating as hell to take off, might just take off my wheel and go under neath into the compartment that way for the filter .

Thanks dude, yeah really enjoying modding and driving it.

The car's still not at home, hopefully i get to pick it up tommorow as i've had this camry loan car in the garage and it's just not the same :(

A load of fun time ahead mate..

Enjoy it and keep us updated

I know mate i'm super excited, basically feels like an overhaul hahaha
I will man :)

Makes me a little bit sad to see how slow this forum is now a days, wish there were multiple builds going on at once but i understand the car is pretty old now. Still, heres a teaser of whats to come next week! 
Celica GTS Engine Cover, 3m of Gloss Black vinyl Wrap, Wingtips, 6000k white low-beam globes, 6000k LED fog-light Globes, LED license plate globes, Red globe covers for interior console, new passenger side fog light and my 2082p Injen Intake!

Car is being picked up early next week with replaced synchro and bearings, very very excited to get all of this done.

Yeah Bob Jane is fine, I get staff discount at the Kmart tyres though but I will definitely shop around:)

The car's been dropped off for the week, in the meantime I'll be waiting for all of my mods to arrive 😍

Pretty sure this guy has a fair few of them stocked up, just relists a few so that they get purchased and such. Hopefully you guys are interested if not, it'll be here anyway :)

I ended up buying from Amayama, far cheaper.

Honestly just going to talk to them because i'm realizing that it's unacceptable they're charging me anything fullstop, the car is still under warranty and to be fair i shouldn't have to pay for anything mechanical wise. 

Huge updates coming soon for the stivo, have an Injen 2082p Intake coming, new LED foglights, new 6000k lowbeams, wingtips for the spoiler, hopefully making a splitter with my mate and the RED led mod for my console. 
So excited :))

I started with a checklist aswell, but there's really not much point in it considering i keep adding to mine aswell.
Join the WA corolla sportivo group on Facebook too mate :)

I doubt you will even get the synchros and bearings for that price.

Synchros are being done under warranty, all of the gearbox labour is aswell. I only need to pay for the parts (the bearings) if they are needed. So just wondering if it's worth it.

Hey guys I need some advice, this Friday the car is being dropped at the dealership to have the synchro replaced ect. If it comes to be that the bearings can be replaced, should I bother? I have no idea how much that would cost so if anyone has any idea on the price range then please tell me. If it's less than 300$ and it'll help the shifting I wouldn't be too fussed, it's just anymore then that is a bit pricey atm considering student and all that. 

Yeah i'll see what i do, i doubt i'll lowbeam the HIDs, probably foglight i'd say.

So the mechanic at the dealership determined that the third gear synchro is wearing and needs to be replaced, hopefully it'll be done sometimes next week under warranty. It's a shame but im so so excited to start shifting smoother!

So i've installed a HID ballast for my lowbeam lights, but i've been reading that without a projector the lights go all over the place and just blind people whilst driving. Would it be better to hook them up to my foglights perhaps instead? I don't have the globes nor the cabling to the globes so i'd have to purchase them which i hope wouldn't be too much of an issue. Will see if i even if up using them i suppose.

I'm in WA though dude, JAX isn't available in my state.
