First Update Since the Death of the Z...56k beware
Thursday, July 27, 2006 2:34 PM
Well since the Z got totaled last November and me getting a new car in December I haven't really made any posts about whats going on. Well here is the progress so far since ive had the 03, its completely base and stayed stock for all but a week. Anyway mods are in the reg and at the end me and a buddy went on a lil photoshoot w/ the 03 and his 92 celica.

The car as of April 2006








thanks to J to Envy for those pics at the April 1st meet in Peoria.

This is the car after I got it out of the shop after being in a hit and run accident. Long story but the guy got caught and now the back end looks a lot sexier than it did before.






a lil JBO love...











and here are the most recent pictures of the car...as of last night.









and now some pics of me and richs celica that night.





















and one picture of the old car for a rememberance...



C&C Welcome good or bad I can take it. Also ive been contemplating painting the SRT-4 rims matte black...what do you guys think?



Also special thanks goes to Jay for helping on a lot of the installs w/ this car, love ya bud.

Go with the matte or semi-flat black IMO Looks pretty good, why couldn't ya put the damn rims on before I traded my LSS rims for Kevin's steelies?! Arse! haha



What a great place JBO is!! <<<

Yeah dude nice car. But i shouldn't have to tell u that i have been with the Z (RIP) and the 03 from the start of both cars. Watching them grow is almost like children. LOL. But too bad my car is lower in the rear then yours and i do believe my car looks amazing sitting next to yours in these pics. Later OBizzle.

P.S. Don't hate on the celica i am a cav supporter as well.

Looks Good, I would try and leave the wheels lip silver and paint the rest of the wheel black.



Best Time 15.917 at 86.86MPH

Paint the the wheels flat black, the whole thing not just part of it, otherwise looking good so far though i do prefer a lower drop :p!!

thanks guys on the comments.....i have no idea why the rear sits so much higher it is the S.tech drop but im considering changing the spring out when i get shocks/struts. oh and thanks again nick for the amazing deal on the rims and tires.

Love the toyota tails but i guess u know why. The rims are better then the steelies and the tires were much needed. (a stockish ecotech cav should never spin tires on dry pavement in 3rd gear.)

Looks good. I'd paint the SRT rims gun-metal, or a dark grey.

if u change the springs, change them to Eibach Sportlines i would say combined with some tokico dspecs or koni yellows unless u go with ground controls on either of those shocks/struts or full coilovers, haha just a few ideas being thrown out there for ya Anthony u know me haha!!
