Another week has gone by and it was time to go check up on the progress of the Celica. The things needed to be done last week seems done and these are this week's to-do-list. First up is my prized HKS Silent Hi-Power exhaust system. It consists of a box and muffler tip. What I really love about this exhaust is the power it gives and the low bassy sound that could be heard when driving slowly but a nice roar when at the high rpm. The muffler body receive quite a blow and is now dented. It is still usable but the airflow will be affected and might sound off. The solution here would be to replace the muffler although there is a need to cut it off because it would be hard and expensive to get another such muffler. It is sad to see it go like that.
Next up is the rare TRD Mechanical Sport bumper. At first I found a replacement but the stupid workshop did not buy the bumper because I had blue fog lights but the replacement comes with yellow fog lights. Now I could not find another one and this bumper will be send for repair if possible.
Finally, the last and most troublesome part. The brake system is finally repaired but the suspension is the problem. The awesome but hard to find superstrut legs is crooked. In its current condition, the wheels will be touching the car wall. Usually, owners would change the whole set but I could not do that because it would be expensive and it is almost impossible to find one for superstrut. However, luckily I met up with friend who suggested a good solution to me. He have stock absorbers and proposed to me to replace the crooked part with his stock. It seems like the only way I have to repair and use back the same suspension.
