6G Celicas Forums

thats excellent, thanks alot for the help.

btw, does a ssII have the same break as a normal GT?

hi there, i'm in the process of buying a 1995 white ssII import, i'm quite excited. I'm
trying to get most of the parts i need to modify delivered before so i can get
them on the car asap.

but my problem is that i'm not sure what lowering springs do i buy, springs for a
GT4 or normal GT springs.

any help greatfully recieved.

i used to get the back end out on my old celica rather well whilst attempting to drift but it does wreck your hand brake (parking brake) and its not really proper drifting cos you can't get the back end to swing back round in the other direction like a rwd. not as controlled as a rwd i don't think either imo.

i want a set of those!!!!

i used to leave my standard tail fog lights on until one day i let my brother
use my car and saw how blinding they are. perhaps i can try changing the
fog bulbs to the same as normal bulbs......

damn, thats what i didn't want to happen. is there any way to make them both come on?

thats what i wanted to hear, thanks alot. batmans car looks excellent, nice and smooth.

just got some JDM rear clusters and was thinking, some of you guys have both lights on each cluster lit up.
Do they do that as standard or do you have to alter them, if so how? thanks

(i would try them out but my car is having the kit fitted, )

they looks really nice being that smooth n shiny, i often toy with thr idea of taking
my raisers off, smoothing them and repainting them.

looking at the comparison between the 6th and 7th gen.... i would spit on the 7th gen, and rape the 6th gen ... my personal reference ofcourse =7

love the terminology

the 7GC is a nice car, its more modern both in looks and in features. Aftermarket parts are dirt cheap so although you may have 6k to spend if you keep yours it'll still be an older car.

what tail light options do we have, not many. the 7gc has loads, same goes for headlights, bodykits, and various suspension and exhaust systems. Seems like half the things done to 6gc's come as standard on a 7gc, e.g. projectors, swapping seats..... i know all our 6gc's are sleak and curvy which is great and it does seem that new jap cars have lost there charm but unless you have a gt4 you are rather limited with modifying it cost effectively. (for power)

up to you though, just offering a few pro's and cons.

btw, have you considered buying a supra? i dont know what they go for over there but you could get a turbo'd manual over here for about the same price.

Make sure the gold badges fit the rear as i bought a pair & the front was fine just a bit bigger but the larger badge wouldn't sit flush on the rear so i had to put the old one on & gonna spray it soon.

i'll check it fits later, thanks. are there any spray paints that give a shiny gold finish rather than a metallic finish? i have looked for some in the past but had no luck.

you can either just pull it off or slide something like a credit card behind the emblem
which will leave less of that sticky crap. Either method will work better if you use a hair
dryer to warm up the adhesive foam tape stuff.

with regards to the middle toyota emblem, the holes are not that big and if your car is
dark theyre not too noticeable. you could always stick the emblem back on if you
don't like it, or you could buy a gold emblem off ebay which i think look the nuts, i'm
putting a gold one on mine soon.

where do you get the stickers from, might sound a bit thick but i can't
find them on the site anymore.

i'm having a kit fitted as we speak and think a sticker would look good
on the ends of the skirts

i think red stands out nice and gives the impression that they are uprated breaks, thats what i did on mine. beacuse of the complex spoke patttern of your wheels also dustin, black aill not show through much.

i think it looks good, it would look good on the rear end of a side skirt.

hi there, the lambo doors look classy as does the car. i don't know if its just a reflection but are your toyota emblems gold? if so where did you get them from? i've been lookiing for ages but have had no joy.

Yes i can see the dimples but drilling a hole is the easy part. If there is no thread, how do you attach the blocks to the spoiler mate. The screws wont purchase on anything surely?

i just used two heavy duty screws on each block, i was dubvious aboot how secure it would be but it actually fits on really secure.

cheers for all your input. i' gonna go with castrol magnatech fully synthetic.

only about 400miles. its done about 90,000 miles so iguess semi would be best then?

i haven't changed my oil since i bought my car a while ago so i think i'd better give it a service. Just wondering what the best type to use is ie. synthetic, semi synthetic or a good quality non synthetic? cheers

what is that screen below the climate control?

thanks, i've got some of that somewhere, i'll give it a go.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

i'v just de-badged my car, front and back. i tried to get most of that sticky foam crap off but theres loads left. has anyone got any good methods of getting it off.

i've got a few pics on my profile (i apologize for the state of the car, in process of modifying rear at the moment.)
