st162rocket's 87' BEAMS 2.0 GT-R

Re: st162rocket's 87' GT-S **back from the paint shop**

Thanks again guys, glad it looks good. The trim is back on freshly painted but I didn't have time to take pictures since I had to head back to Santa Cruz for school. I left my car at home so that the clear coat can harden. So for two weeks I won't have any pictures. I'll definitely take pictures once I get to wash the car.

I asked for 3E5 -> Super Red. It looks a bit brighter though or maybe thats how it was back in the day.

Yea It is. It stands out and many people stare .... I totally need to get an alarm for it

 

Re: st162rocket's 87' GT-S **back from the paint shop**

I'm gonna try to get one. possibly a classic nardi steering wheel.

glad I could help in the decision

haha...just had to put it on.

Well since I was color matching the bumpers, mirrors, side skirts and the mudflaps, leaving the door handles black would seem kinda out of place...well...to my eyes, it would.

 

Re: st162rocket's 87' GT-S **out of commission.....for now"

hey guys

Haven't been online for awhile....you know how it is....school took over my life.
Anyways....update on the celica......1st gen 3sge engine finally gave up on me. I was
heading up a mountain highway called 'highway 17' to head towards santa cruz
*for the locals you know what that mean* half way up it, KAPLOW!....crazy....bearing
from 2nd piston goes....and the piston begins to smack the head violently destroying
the spark plug and valves. sad5

So....

it looks like i might have an engine swap.....i'm not gonna give up on the celi...
....she soo much potential.

I always liked NA so im gonna stick with it and probably
go for either a RedTop BEAMS 3sge or the GrayTop BEAMS 3sge.

I found a website on how to install the GrayTop....but its in japanese....
http://sk-dr2.bglb.jp/curren/modify/index.html
help anybody know japanese or anyone that I can get this translated?!
Also does anybody know any good engine importers?
So i can look through their inventory and see find.

I want to get back on the road by spring hopefully.... :neutral:
