Celica Forums General Discussion General The TPR GTT-S

As most of you know about my recent hell trip to Florida. Heres the pics of the process my car went thru. I only scanned the major ones, but there are others...

First we cut my original GTS in half




then we put on a rear end of a black 2000 GT



the shop owner was awesome enough to fix all my dents I had as well



so then we sanded her all down and put her in the booth




and she came out great



then we swapped out the GTS suspension and braking system into the new rear end



Then i drove home that night (stopping over in atlanta) and heres a pic taken a couple days ago

looks like new..they did an awesome job of the 'reconstruction'

Yes they did, Im just finally glad to be home and away from that place...too much shit

glad to see all is well. when i read the title i thought you had just gotten a turbo.

well anyway, does it feel any different than before? is the chasis stiffer/weaker?

(knowing you, you probably had some extra stich welds in dey places.)

would i do something like that????? noooo! ok maybe ...

yes we strengthened the frame and its slightly stiffer!

sorry, but what happened to it in the first place?

<- i havent been on much lately.

haha, well i was invited down to FL by my ex gf. I stopped over in Atlanta the day before. I was coming around a corner and my tire fell off my rim in the passenger side rear. My ass end swung around and clipped oncoming traffic. then into the woods. Wasnt going very fast (maybe 30-35).

My stay in FL was even more eventful

JEzus Chris...I'm glad you are ok...WHy didn't you call me in Atlanta...

this was the day after we had that mini meet I gotta be back down in ATL for the 21st of december because they gave me a ticket for "not keeping my lane"

all brand new.

wow - isn't a cut n' shut a bit of a grey area legally?

Thats what people are telling me, but my insurance company and the autobody shop did it without a problem?

That's all that matters then!! as long as it's a good job and safe enough for you to drive

I think the legality comes into it when you are selling the car, you need to inform a prospective buyer what's been done to it. Unfortunately you probably wouldn't get a lot for it

...hehehehehehehe...not keeping you lane...that's pretty lame...call me or kenny when you get down here...we'll meet up again

...good job on putting the pimp mobile back together chris...good luck on the upcoming bizz. ur gona get from just bout most of us when ur up and running again!!!!!...take care

holy crap...

Funny thing is. You can inspect it all you want, and you'd NEVER know.

Some states I heard it is ilegal and if you try to resale it good lucky. but the job looks outstanding just make sure you keep you wheels on this time

Glad you were not hurt

were your lugs loose or something? do you know what exactly happpened?

wow

daymn!

thats f'in awsomne that they coudl do that great of a job. how much did that cost to have done?? I am sorry it happened int he 1st place but welcoem to florida Newxt time ur down stop by gainesville(UF) have a little celi meet.

My rear passenger tire came off the bead while i was taking a corner causing my rear end to swing into oncoming traffic, then into the woods

heres a pic of the damages

ouch, ouch and thrice ouch!!

(that a tpr exhaust btw? )

no thats a stock exhaust, even I dont have the finished TPR piece yet.

Thats my elbow in the last picture!!

see kiddies, this is what happens when you use too much VTEC!

Oh!! sorry i didn't read your 4th post carefully.

Damn man, I would have thought they would have tossed that car after that much damage. I'm really impressed how they put it all back together.

Damn man it makes me to see that.

Glad your ok, and waiting to see the Final TPR products.

what a change, they did a good drive, i hope my car was never involved in something like that!

yeah when can we expect more TPR products and how is the production of the intake and exhaust coming. Are you buried with orders or are they being shipped quickly.

...VTEC????

inside joke between a few celica owners and I.

im taking waiting lists so i can mass produce them and get everyone done at once
