oem bumper of celica st185, another view
Image photo gallery
installed HKS EVC VI in my celica. it looks nicely in the dash except the orange color. the placement idea was taken from turbocelica.nl :)
EVC engine bay hoses. turbo hose, wastegate hose, vacuum hose for hks ssqv blow-off
Firewall grommet.
this is where i route most of the wires. see the HKS EVC6 main cable already through it. its really tight, but doable.
the evc main unit cable and scramble boost wire installed in the vent. just drill a hole through the bottom of the vent box
HKS EVC 6 main unit display just installed in the air vent. the orange color is kinda annoying comparing to the standard unit.
HKS EVC 6 installed and running. also notice the scramble boost control function button near the shifter. It`s pretty useless in that position, should be on the steering wheel..
Painted all rusty spots and other places that had lost color or were to be repainted. with Rust Bullet
Rusty trunk. I did intend to paint it last year. So i got the paint off, etc. But didn`t paint it. so this year it got some rust already.
Trunk repainted. I put 2 layers of black paint over the "rust bullet" layer. Looks good :)
Wooden spare wheel cover, My dad created this, since the old cover was already torn in pieces from rust and humidity and oil (I had some in trunk :D)
This is all stuff I had in trunk, also that huge HKS IC wrapped in white. The car seems to go 2x faster without all this junk!
Spring cleaning. While painting, I decided to take parts off and try to fit the FMIC
This is stock st185 bumper support or crash bar. I intend to remove it or trim the inner part at least when I get to fitting the FMIC. If I eventually do remove it, I will probably go with RC/CS bumper, since the support holds the beautiful fog lights. The stock bumper is ugly without the fogs.
I cut the stock air box to see if it gets air flow better to filer or increase the sound. But I couldn`t notice any difference. And I do have another air box, so I wasn`t worried cutting this one ;)
