some highlights;
-2 sets of wheels
1 set x4 15 inch ASA wheels black with tires 2 good 2need to be replaced
1 set x4 16 inch 2006 Celica GTS wheels oem installed with new yokahama tires I got like 4 months ago.
brand new battery from TOYOTA about 3 months old
rear view camera, panasonic radio CD player with aux in for your phone, tablet or laptop, and subs

I bought this celica cheap with many issues which I have fixed, about 3400$ later just in parts, the car runs and drives like new! and im 100% sure you can put another 100,000 miles on it with no problems, I thought I was going to keep it for ever, but now I need a newer bigger car for work

im a die hard toyota fanatic and ive been restoring this car for over 2 years and a half but I dont have a garage or a driveway to park it, but my uncle told me to park it in his driveway for 1 month after that i will be having to move it around to avoid sweeping tickets which is a pain and paying insurance and registration for a car thats not being used. so here are the details

$*$*$*$*$ THINGS INCLUDED WITH THE CAR *$*$*$*$*$
# Pioneer radio CD player with AUX input to plug your iPhone, Android phone, or laptop **INSTALLED
# Pioneer amplifier **INSTALLED
# 2 12" inch infinity subs **INSTALLED
# a second set of 15 inch wheels with tires 2 tires are good 2 are bad, you can put a set of snow tires on this set and use them as your winter set and use the other as your summer set, that way the tires will last longer and its cheaper than just swapping the tires on the same wheels.
# a second set of tail lights that are red out and smoked for car shows
# a set of round foglights if I can find them
# all weather rubber floormats **INSTALLED
# rear view wide angle cameras with a 7 inch display PERFECT for new drivers --INSTALLED

THE BAD
# you might want to check the front right bearing, since I replaced the left one because it was bad, the right one will soon need to be replaced.

# the car could use a paint job and a few dents fixed

############ PLEASE NOTE ###############
IF you do decide to paint the car, PLEASE get in coordination with me so you can take it to a body shop on my day off, and I will buy the necessary tape and paper to mask the car and I WILL mask the car myself FOR FREE!!!, DO NOT trust any body shop with that, I made that mistake 3 times with some of my other cars at different body shops, and I want this car to look perfect even if Im not the one thats going to enjoy driving it!

I LOVE this car, and I HATE the fact I need the money to buy a bigger car for work, but eventually Ill get another one, once I save enough with the new job, but Ill definitely miss this one

Ooh ok, thanks

saturdays I work until 4pm sundays im off, what time would the meet end?

I think if the meet gets postponed to mid to late july no one should have excuses, since they would have more than enough time to get their cars ready for the road, I would like to show mines after the custom front bumper, but if the meet is before the vacation I wont be able to show it, but that wont stop me from going with my stock looking celica lol.
btw, everyone seems to be talking about money problems, is there like an admission fee of any sort? ive never been to a celica meet before..
also I might need to look at my gas filler components and check for rust or corrosion, lol too many people here with the same problem

the design on that spoiler could used improvements, to guide the air flow over the wipers instead of guiding it right to it..., if I were you I would make a custom one, im going to redo my front end so Im going to raise the hinges like 1 inch or so for the hood itself to guide the air over the wipers and then modifying the fenders to make it look close to normal, you'll see hopefully before next winter lol

Damn, if many people would buy 1000$ kits, I would start making my own original designs and make kits that would really work aerodynamically for track cars, some that would make the car look more modern, and some designed for better fuel efficiency that would be very aerodynamic reducing the big gaps for cooling down the engine bay but at the same time making the car more appealing to the eye, my car for example is going to be my project, Im going for a hybrid kit, sporty but without sacrificing gas mileage, I will post some pictures and start a thread when I start working on it, Im going to have like 10 days with no school this summer and im going to ask for 4 from work and hope for good weather since I dont have a garage lol if enough people like it ill start my own shop and sell hand made kits and tested for fitment on my own car before shipping

Im going to design my own front bumper, eventually the whole front end and then the rear, baby steps lol, but im going to make some small holes around where the stainless steel/plastic/nylon bolts are going to sit, put a washer on the bolts, pull fiberglass strands from the inner side to the outer through the holes using a hook shaped paperclip and fiberglass both sides of the bumper, sand, fill, sand, filler primer, sand then paint the outer side of the bumper, and have bolts where I can use some of the holes on the mesh to fasten with a washer and nut on the back side of the bumper and then trim the mesh with a hacksaw blade or rotary tool.

sorry for taking so long to reply, my account might say that im online 24/7, but I never turn off my computer and I always leave like 20 tabs open for all the websites I might use lol...obviously I dont have to pay electricity bills... and my computer is pretty darn reliable made it myself what can I say... lol

nice, I like the perf hex one

If im not mistaken the coupe and the convertible share the same taillights, but these are for the hatchback, hatchback taillights do not fit the coupe nor the vert, therefore if you do have a hatchback yes, these will fit no matter if its GT/ST/GT-four

Home Depo? gutter leaf guard or something like that?4
I personally prefer the honey comb plastic mesh, thats the one im going to use, you can get it on ebay for I think less than 40$ and it makes the car look more modern and OEM

I kindof got mixed up, I use both just like BMW, I do parallel rows of about 3 leds in series, but ive used just parallel, too like on the cluster of my GT, and on the turn signals of my ST and they lasted as long as I had the car(over 2 years) and not a single one burnt , but I used both like I said on the dome lights of my MR2, it just depends if Im making a strip, or a square/similar shape.


DAMN! I would love to see a picture of that monster turned on!

not a huge fan of yellow, but looks good, and the paint job on the tailgate looks awesome!, if I were you id get rid of the antenna at the same time.
I want to do a custom duckbill, delete the antenna, LED taillight and do a custom diffuser on the rear bumper as far as the rear of the car hopefully I inspired you and because of your cars color carbon fiber accents wouldn't look bad at all

UHHHH Gloss black engine parts!? im drooling!, so tempting since ive done so much gloss black around the car, I need to get into that engine bay lol

yeah like on a Tesla Roadster, BMW z3/M Roadster, and Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder that I can barely fit lol, and with the top down/removed the top of the windshield is in my line of sight LOL so I have to either look over it or duck my head a little to look through the windshield

Yes toyota did do this, my 1991 MR2 had dimming key ring on the door handles, ignition, and dome light

anyone else tried flat black Vinyl and fabric spray paint? I did and it looks AMAZING!, it looks like swede, but feels like sand paper! well not really but feels rough, im going to buy a spare set and try to stitch the real deal, and do swede door inserts and swede roof liner and sunroof cover thing lol, I have to take that off anyway to tighten the sunroof screws, apparently the vibration form the subs got it loose

C'mon Box, what are you doing posting on this threat? this is like the roller-coasters, you have to be at least 6 feet tall to post here
JK

bump, just sell them for the gas to take them to the post office + shipping

DUDE!, thats freaking genius! can you post a picture or 2 of the seats angle and of the area you modified?

yeah, Im 6'3 and I feel like I need my seat to move 2 extra inches back and 1 or 2 more down, for when taking my break at work, I like stretching my legs, also for when using the celica as a**cough** hotel**cough** also in case of an acident I would have more head room to not bang my head on the sunroof or mess up my hairdo lol

Im more of a fan of the one side stripe and a small one next to it Euro Style.
but I think you would make every minecraft player love your car , to me thats like sticker bomb, it looks cool, but to my personal car, I wouldnt do it, I like my car to look clean

PLEASE UPDATE!!! cant wait to see them on the car!

**cough** in series not parallel**cough**cough**
