My new car!

Hey guys i Picked up my ST162 on friday afternoon. So far im very happy with it and am looking foward to doing it up a bit. Can anyone tell me any mods that are more of an uncommon one, that suits the car (ie you wouldnt do to something that isnt on a toyota or a celica.) I also saw a ST162 with sleepy eyes, where the lights are half closed. Is that hard to do? I heard you just have to change a fuse around. Anyway, Im happy with the car and its alot nicer and quicker to drive than my first one
heres the car domain linky

nice and clean,
although the SX celicas all came with the 3SGE, the 3SFE came in the ST celicas as far as i can understand. i've owned 2 162's and they both came with the 3SGE engines.

nice car 
now sleepy eyes is actually easiest to do with just a little bit of hand-eye co-ordination
pop your lights up, switch them right off, and then flick the setting to "up, but not on" and catch them on their way down.
voila! sleepy eyes!

nice and light at the cost of your left nut, titanium itself is a very expensive material, add to the mixture that it requires a special environment filled with a non-reactive gas to weld, plus the fact that most exhaust shops dont carry that equipment...
stainless is all the go oh, and titanium sucks for small screws, something i found out on my RC Gas truck, they're shite, quite a suprise

With the sleepy eyes thing did you just wind them up with the mechanism on each light undreneath the rubber cap or did you do it the hard way ?

I like both wheels dude. Probably the second ones match the car most

the do look a little dull but they also come in white, and grey, and i think gunmetal grey. i thought gold wheels would look good on a maroon car though or white, opinions? i personally dont think chromies would look too good
how do you wind the lights up, i just did it the way RobST162 said.

that looks crazy
maybe chromies arent so bad if i find a nice pair. my next issue is mounting 6" splits in the door, anyone that knows st162 doors is going to understand the headf*ck here....
has anyone done it that can show me pics, or offer adivice, etc. I havent got the speakers yet, but that was my origonal plan to have 6" splits or 6.5's and then 6" compo's in the rear with a 10" sub
If anyone has done this can they please show me a picture of how you have done it or possible ways to go about it
Thanks - Josh
