Hey Sprees, I'm interested in buying a full interior kit (red) from you. If its not a hassle, could you provide a picture of how the inside of the 6g looks like with your red kit? Thanks |

Hey guys, I was just wondering would it be possible to replicate the GT4 hood vent on the stock OEM ST204 Hood? I dont want to do a GT4 front end conversion until I get a manual celica. I've seen this question on old threads, but they're really outdated, with no image sources. QUOTE Jgreening - Cut a perfectly sized hole in the OEM hood and buy the GT4 center vent. Drill the holes for the studs and presto - I have a vented hood for my really hot engine bay. The only question I have is can the GT4 vent be bent slightly to flow smoothly over the rounded OEM hood (unlike the GT4 hood which seems to be flat where the vent is)? So has anyone been able to do it and made it look flush, and could you provide a picture please? |

Hey guys I was at the car wash tonight, been busy all week with work so didnt get a chance to take some pictures/ clean the car haha. Anyways, as you can see, the tints are 20% and the new addition of the 6gc.net sticker I have other mods that will come shortly afterwards this march. Hopefully all goes according to plan. |

Heys, I have a silly question but anyways. If I bought a GTfour hood to replace my stock Celica SX 1995 hood. Would the GTfour hood fit onto my car if I dont have the GTfour fromt bumpers? Do you reckon the GTfour hood mixes well with ssiii splitters? |

It really depends on your everyday situation. Unless you're fitting performance parts to your celica to do sunday cups than go for it... but you really wouldnt want an ECU for everyday driving. When you fit an ECU into a stock celica, you think you've noticed something different but there really wont be much difference at all. ECU = Placebo effect. Might as well buy a packet of chips and stick it under your hood. You'll notice something too, your car's engine power will smoke competition for sure |

Just got my windows tinted for $185. They were 20% tints. I'll post pics up tomorrow. Now I'm saving up for SSIII front and rears. I want to also add some JDM stickers but not completely sticker bomb the car and make it look like ricer trash. Any suggestions? |

Hey guys, here are the photos of the oxidation on my spoiler and roof. So from what I've gathered, to do a diligent prep on the plastic parts such as the spoiler, I'd first have to give it a buff. After that I'd give it a thorough wash and get some course sand paper and sand off the unequal oxidized areas on the spoiler and ofcourse repeat the sanding again but this time with a finer sand paper. Give it another wash to get rid of the dust and then spray paint it with the metallic silver. I'd let it dry then repeat it again for another 1-2 coats. I'd then spray plastic primer (clear coat) on the spoiler. I guess that's it, haha. I'll post my progression over the week. Thanks |

Heys guys, after reading through quite a lot of threads in this forum, I decided to muster up all my courage to register myself as a member lol! Anyways, I just want you guys to kow that I'm a student who is very tight on money until I finish education and get an actual job I'll only be trying to do low-budget modifications haha. Anyways, so here I am, making a thread to show the progression of my celica. Just to inform you guys, I actually came here to learn and also ask for advice. I've never taken up an automotive subject for school, and I was also never raised up interested in cars, but things changed when my sister's boyfriend got my hooked onto celicas. SO yeah, I'll be asking pretty nooby questions and for opinions from you guys at 6GC.net I purchased my first car -a silver 1995 Celica SX- from my sister's boyfriend back in september, last year (Happy New Years btw ) . I had just got my licence, and was in need of a vehicle; I asked him if he would sell me his unused celica since I saw the celica sitting infront of his house for quite a while. He later told me that the celica was sitting there because the owner of the vehicle (his brother) bought a VW Golf and he just didnt have the time to sell the Celica. So I asked him if I could buy it off him and he gave me a really good deal... I got the celica for least than $2000. The car was basically sitting unused outside my sister's boyfriend's front yard for more than half a year, so you would have known what to expect, it was covered grass, which was ridiculous to get off (even with a high pressure hose), a crapload of brid crap (lol). I had to first of all get the oil leak patched up. The only good thing about the car was that besides the oil leak, everything else worked like a charm, I had to replace a few interior bulbs. I also replaced the stock headunit with a JVC KD-R326 (self-installation) with the help of my sister's boyfriend rather than going to a specialist to save money (the car didnt blow up, so I'm happy haha). I bought the headunit from Best Buy during the Black Friday sales for 40 bux. The same head unit is selling for 150bux at stores in AUstralia, so i guess I saved a heap. Anyways. I did all I could on the interior, buying a steeringwheel cover (cause the aussie summer can make the sterring wheel really hot) to seat covers. But what I really want to do for this year is refurbish the exterior and make it look presentable, as new and clean. I want to get rid of the oxidation on the spoiler and roof, the roof has been oxidized the worse, and it's a very unnappealing look on the celica. So I've been researching by googling and youtubing ways to get rid of oxidation. I've tried cutting compounds and wax/polishers, but the oxidation just doesnt want to come off. My last resort is to get it touched up but that'll probably cost a lot of dosh and being a tightass I want to find out other cheaper but as effective alternatives to save the bucks but get a decent/makeshift result. I'll take pictures of the oxidation on my phone soon and upload it to show you guys what I mean haha. I was thinking of doing a backyard job by first taking off the spoiler and spray painting it. If it looks good and the silver colour matches, I'll probably attempt to do the roof? I hope i didnt bore you guys but I'll be back soon with the pictures. I hope you guys can give me some pointers and suggestions. Cheers, Jason |
