This new motivation is monitored and controlled by a grip of GReddy hardware now located in the cockpit. An A-pillar-mounted boost and oil pressure gauges monitor, well, boost and oil pressure levels, while psi levels are dialed-in with a GReddy TVVC manual boost controller. To reduce heat soak after shutdown, Christmas also had a GReddy turbo timer installed in the dash. Back under the hood, Vitek blue braided hoses are combined with polished Weapon R engine cap covers and a blue powdercoated valve cover for the finishing touches.
Proving again that she's no fool, Christmas beefed up the suspension with B&G springs that team with a custom application of Tokico shocks.
Up front are units intended for a Corolla and the rears were originally meant for a Subaru Legacy. Torsional stiffness was bolstered with a Freedom Design front upper strut tower brace and a custom unit designed specifically for this Tercel in the rear. The brakes were fortified by adding a Zex performance brake kit and stainless-steel brake lines. Two often overlooked areas in the never-ending quest to go faster, brakes and suspension enhancements in the face of serious power mods are a must.
I Love What You Do For Me
I bet the marketing gurus at Toyota never had anything like this in mind when they came up with that slogan.
Right now, Christmas is stoked that the work is done and she can enjoy driving her Tercel everyday. She thanks her long list of sponsors (see hit list), but especially her boyfriend Ali and the rest of the guys at Autothority. We hope to see Christmas' Tercel assault the show circuit, and when it's not humiliating ponycars on the street, make some runs down the quarter. Regardless of what she does with her 'Cel, one thing is certain:This car goes way beyond being just "a bit more original." Way, way beyond.
