6G Celicas Forums

Sorry for the lack up updates, I have been offline for a while.....

The car will be ready in a few weeks, it is booked in for a show in April so the spray shop is being organised..

Some new pics here...

Any comments welcome....

Sorry for the lack of photos on this, I'm gonna upload some more in the coming days.

We are working on the paint at the moment, going for "Super Red 2" and deep dish split-rim alloys to finish the job.

Once the car is finished we will have all the molds prepared and we will make a few kits available.

The fitting should be pretty easy thats the main aim of this project to make the finished kit as easy to fit as possible.

Other than fitting spacers to the wheels the rest of the job should be straight forward.

Thanks for the support...

What are the chances the car will start after being in the shop for 2 years? hehe

The bumper is made from scratch..the bonding is just for this 1st car...we are taking a kevlar mold of the finished kit so we can reproduce it.

Adjusting the suspension and adding wider wheels was the bit that held the project back really.
Plus other project cars, the Celica got pushed back a bit in the priority stakes!

It's coming along now though!

Sorry this is taking so long guys, we had to redesign the main kit on the car.

We are trying to get the wide arch kit designed so we can make the kit as bodyshop friendly as possible.

But we have an update...the kit is being finished as we speak.

The sprayshop is waiting for the car now and should be finished shortly.

If anyone is interested in seeing the work in progress I have put up some pictures here..

I have had 235/40/18 on my Jap import GT (2.0i GT) for the last 4 years and my trannies fine.

And I drive the life out of it so there's yer answer!!

OK guys, a bit of bad news......all the items are gone......just after posting this up I had a guy call over and pick them up.

There are a load of riser blocks available in Ireland though with all the SSIII imports flooding in. the autobreakers near me has a few still on some wrecked SSIII's

I'll see how much they are and let ye know

Yeah its the same as the one there on the red celica picture. its the Lip.

I was looking at the shipping guys.....as far as I can make out it costs a fortune to ship anything from Ireland to the States. (Not just from Ireland, but from any European country)

Has anyone checked with Fedex etc?

Whoops!

If anyones interested in this kit, i have it sitting in the garage at home.

Was planning to get it fitted to my celica, but theres no point at the moment, I'm going to be changing the car pretty soon.

2x side skirts,
1x front underbumper splitter
2x GT4 riser blocks
(same as in the pictures.)

450 Euro + carriage for the lot if anyones interested, they are already primed and ready to be sprayed.

I'm located in Ireland btw, thought I'd post it up anyway since they are just gathering dust.

I thought the torque was a bit weird myself until 3 other 6th gens went up and got virtually the exact same torque graph.
Appears that it is normal.

Well I finally managed to get my Celica GT up on the rolling road.
Unfortunately I was only running with 3 sparkplugs when the figure was taken due to a faulty plug cable.

I bought a set of Magnecor competition leads yesterday and got them fitted.
I could see the increase in power straight away.

Well for what its worth here is the Dyno chart with 3 plugs firing...



I am going back onto the rolling road in a few weeks to get another reading.
The only modification I had on the day was a Blitz filter.

I am hoping for around 187bhp on the next run.

Someone sits on my hood...THEY are screwed!

There is a fibreglass hood....

The bodykit is finished, its just being fitted to the car now and should be going into the spray shop in the next few days.

Once it's out, I'll get some pictures up!

First guesstimate is at around 650 dollars before shipping.

If anyones interested in setting up a group buy or something,
I'm sure that would come down by a lot.

Anything is possible!

The cost is being worked out as we speak, just trying to figure out the postage to the US.

At last its ready...have a look if you want to see the basic look of the skin.

I have the JDM Celica GT
2000 twin cam
3SGE

Standard engine except for Iridium plugs and Blitz cone filter.

I get 147mph

ner ner ner ner ner!

It's not only for heat and noise reduction, its also designed to come apart when it comes in contact with fire.

It shreds itself and falls down to suffocate any engine fire,
Think of it like a fire blanket on steroids

I use Max Wax by Simonez.....I don't use anything else!

Mines a roaring mucksavage!

Anyone know what the power rating (BHP) is on the 2nd generation 3SGE?

Any good?
