Sweet looking car bud, A mate of mine has one, The 1.8 Eunos RS Spec it is now as opposed to V Spec when he got it lol

He loves it although it is partial to tyres although that's likely his driving style lol



He has done a fair bit more to it but I've not got any recent pics

I live in the UK and watch Top Gear every week, some of the stuff they do is ridiculous, Made a van into a Hovercraft, Turned a car into a train and the usual stupid stunts.

This is one of my favourite episodes (In my local shopping centre with a Vette)

Took the cleaners 3 hours to clean up the rubber the Vette left on the floor

Not quite the same, It's the Pulsar which is the Almera or the Sentra as I believe America had them on some occasions (The N16 I used to have)

And for my pics

Damn Wildlife arguing with the Leon

My latest car (Not even Jap) but surprisingly quick and easy to tune





Leon 1.8 20v T Cupra producing 180bhp yet still gives back 35mpg when gunning it or 40-45 on a run, More than my Celica ever did,
6 speed manual box,
Easily / Safely mapped to 215bhp 230lb's torque,
Plenty of toys to keep me amused Traction control mainly which is needed

Removed badges is my only mod just has a few small niggles to sort then I'll be happy

If you've got a 94-95 the rails are either slightly different in length or width I can't remember which it was but it's not as much of a pig to do as some expect it to be

Over in the UK the 96+ rails are the same as the others so I'd not expect too much to be different possibly wiring for airbags but that should be about it,

Obviously you'd not be able to use the airbags in the seats from the 7gc

Do you have the 140's over there or just the 190's? GT's or GT-S aren't they :S

Hiya mate not been here for a while but yeah the 7gc rears fit straight in without too many issues and the fronts don't quite line up so they'll need a little welding done to fabricate them to mount easily enough

I'd recommend that you don't go for leathers as they wear very quickly and look ****e when they're marked up lol

If you go for the cloth seats from a 7gc 140 if you get them not the 190 version you'll get better seats

Here's mine from my white Celica





And yes I had the 7gc wheel as well, Makes a lot of difference to the interior IMO

You have no idea how much I regret selling that car mate :-(

It's the first car I've properly kicked myself for selling :-(

For the money he's asking and knowing fully well it's not been looked after no chance

Now that's not very nice Box lol

It's not that the car is bad by any means but the issue I've got is that I'm comparing them to my white one and the only thing that would come close is a faff but they're too expensive to buy in the first place let alone run lol

Today I sold my Celica

And that concludes the ownership of my latest and most probably my last Celica

I kept George for a grand total of a Month and 3 days LOL

To be honest mate if the US is anything like the UK then you'll sometimes struggle to find the right PCD wheels in a half decent fitment.

The issue I found when I had my MR2 which is 5 x 114.3 was that the majority of 5 x 114.3 wheels were on 200sx's, Soarers, Supra's and Skylines so the majority of them are too wide ie 8.5 or 9J

Don't get me wrong 'm not saying don't do it but if you wanted to you could make life easier by getting some alloys from an Impreza or similar then get your 20mm spacers?

I've just logged in after listing my Black GT for sale and I see Box has made a thread

It came up lovely after the hard work mate fair play,

The only thing I don't like is that it's Red

That's looking sweet mate nice work, you bought more projectors then realised you didn't need them?
Oh dear LOL

Ah fair enough then buddy :-)

My old FK's weren't damping adjustable though on the MR2 but then again they were cheap lol

I don't know too much on exchange rates over here but a set of Koni yellow's are 554 quid. As for ride height etc surely if you set up the car with the correct offset wheels etc you wouldn't need to adjust the heights etc anyways? I mean if you're going to lower for shows or you're on bags or whatever then yeah lower it all the time but I can't say that it seems like the adjustable ride height would be needed. I'd rather have the adjustable damping personally and save a couple hundred quid

Could you not get Koni Adjustables?

That could work then although I could say don't some GT's have SS Suspension?

We got import ones in the UK with SS suspension not always Mac lol

I maybe miles off here but if you get coilovers is the actual spring itself that's different or just the spring rates?

Smoked tails = Rice IMO,

People do it over here on stupid POS Vauxhall's and Fords and think it looks good but to me it doesn't.
I will admit though there's a g6 on here I've seen, literally slammed, either spoilerless or a duckbill and last time I remember it with baby blue 6 spoke rims with the different colour surround and it did look quite tasty but I think as it had the stance to divert away from the plate holder it worked

That's looking sweet Josh nice effort

Personally I wouldn't touch the rear plate holder on yours Ken, I've seen it done on a few cars including my old one and I don't think it fits in, I think the only way to do that would be to go for CF wrap but even then it still looks out of place IMO

Granted it's your car your taste etc but to me it's not so much of a good look

The first was an ST

The White one was my second one and I'm sure you can imagine how much I spent on that LOL

For the same money I'd put into this I could get something quicker ie a GT-Four if I wanted one lol

Certainly didn't.

3 weeks and I'm writing the FS advert already

I just can't bond with it if that makes sense. I keep comparing it to my white one and truth be told it's just nowhere near it for handling, speed, response or comfort

Yeah might well do, I don't think I need both my kidneys anyway
