Drissn's ES1 *Update*

[DRISSN]

Well its been a while since i've posted anything about my car on here. so i'll do a rundown of the progress in the past... 9 months.

How she sat when I got her

Then the first thing I really did, Pick up a set of Motegi MR057s

Those were on the car all of one day... Then i picked up some ICW racing TSUNAMI rims.

Then not much happened until June when i Put on an intake and painted the calipers

Then i FINALLY got a drop. Long needed i know...

Now I picked up an exhaust (still gotta reconnect the 2nd o2 sensor )
Its an ex header, hi flo cat, and full catback exhaust system. and damn it is LOUD. Anyway, Here are pics from today. Thats my friends celica ss-iii replica in some of the pics.

And heres a vid of the exhaust from inside the car with all the windows up. Cant really tell but it is stupid loud.

looks clean

Doesnt look bad. However......I STRONGLY feel that calipers should not be painted until rear discs are had.

 

[DRISSN]

rear discs cost money. caliper paint is $4. lol

 

[vjf915]

Yes, rear discs cost money. But I personally think that front and rear discs UNPAINTED looks much better than front discs painted and rear drums. Rear drums are ugly as s**t, and I think that before lowering and before any aftermarket wheels......rear drums should be swapped to rear discs. It looks so much sportier. This is all just my opinion though.

Oh and your back is lower than your front. Jus sayin jus sayin.

 

[DRISSN]

you are too damn hard to please.

 

[DRISSN]

and i'm not going to do a rear disc conversion. i'll do a 5 lug conversion long before that happens.

holly crap dude! I was in kentucky last year for work and i was right in that area. I remember seeing that cinema and like being there. It near Florence right? or it might even be Florence. Hahaha, small world.
I remember thinking, "This would be a great place to take some pics"
hahaha.
Nice sedan man. I'm also diggin that ford too.

 

[DRISSN]

yeah its near florence, technically erlanger but might as well be florence.

 

[vjf915]

Haahaha hard to please? Im just letting you know my opinion man. I think it looks good lowered. What is it lowered on?

 

[DRISSN]

i'm just kiddin bro. its on progress springs. 2in drop... it came out amazing... before i was not really a fan of the wheels but now i love them

 

[Robin...]

Looks good OP...

 

[DRISSN]

thanks man, its a work in progress. i still have some big plans for it

 

[lowlife9]

you should definitely get rid of that mesh screen filter being that intakes on 7th generations dont do zip that thing isn't filtering the air at all that just blocks large debris like sand.

 

[DRISSN]

it sounds so damn good though... maybe i'll pick up an aem filter or something instead..

 

[R3dline]

looking good man, that drop made it look 10x's better , keep up the good work

 

[DRISSN]

thanks bro! means alot comin from you, you're 7th gen was one of the first ones i saw and it made me want to make mine my own.

 

[Ace92028]

rear discs cost money. caliper paint is $4. lol

i am on the same boat as you. I painted my calipers because they were getting rusty within hours. I painted mine red and now there is no more rust just shine

 

[Hecz]

Very nice man, I'm digging the Focus and Celica also.

If you ever decided to sell your oem wheel, let me know!

 

[Lilredrocket]

I can dig it... The rims are a bit iffy, but not bad by any means. Nice car man!
