6G Celicas Forums

Hey guys


I dont really come here much anymore after selling the Celica and i never posted much before but i found this whilst browsing at work and thought i would share it with you all.

Maxi Tuning Toyota Celica

it looks really unusual and i haven't decided yet if i like it or not. the rear is cool but the wheels really let it down in my opinion.



apologies if this is a repost

phelon

there's none in the bristol area that im aware of, the nearest toyota breakers is in cornwall. the address is Florence Road, Kelly Bray, Callington, Cornwall PL17 8EG

unfortunately there aren't many options for the 6th gen in terms of aftermarket lighting, as 808 mentioned there are the after afterburners but they're not to everyone's taste.clicky
the options you have are to go with JDM lights or go with custom fabricated lights.

on a side note i noticed you're from portishead, is that the portishead near bristol?

you pretty much answered your own question there. T20 represents all the 6th gen models. for example the ST is AT200 and your GT is ST202 and the GT4 is ST205

if u want uprated brakes u can use the GT's (st202) brakes, i think the discs are 175mm and are a direct fit. the rears are the exact same so no need to change them. and get some braided lines aswell for a more direct, sharper feel in braking.

hey, u can gets some cams for it. there's a company here in the uk called piper that make cams for the 3sge. they claim an increase of 20 horses. the only drawback in these is the loss in power in the lower rev range but u gain more at top and an increased rev limit. also i don't think these would be ideal for town driving as u need high revs to get some power.

u could ditch the restrictive cat and a get cheap decat pipe from ebay, but ur gonna have to find an mot place that is open to back handers, or just switch the cat back in for mot's.

don't bother with the apexi safc as there is very few places here that have experience with tuning this piggyback.

yeh thats them. this part in the picture

i couldn't understand why there is a torx bit on the end of the thread as well as a nut.

i cant remove the lower part of the exhaust where the flexi pipe is situated. so far ive managed to shear 2 bolts, which actually helped a little, but i fear if i attempt to loosen the others it may cause more problems and i wont be able to remove the manifold.
is there any advice that anyone could give me?

the gt4 on their background is one-off custom kit that was made in germany

it shouldn't be too difficult, it's just gonna be a lot of fibreglassing and filling, which takes time and patience to get it right. however the supra bumper is much wider than ours, so cutting it to match the width might prove to be a bit tricky.
i wouldn't like to guess a price for the work, im guessing it would cheaper compared to anywhere in the uk, where i am.
the only thing i would recommend, would be to approach a bodyshop that specialises in aftermarket kits and tuner cars. try to avoid the average bodyshop.

its a do-luck bumper made for the mkiv supra. if u look closely under the headlamps u can see the uneven surface where the two have been joined

get some fast road cams. piper make some for the n/a 3s with a claimed increase of 20bhp. they cost about 450 pounds for intake and exhaust.

i think those rims would look nice and clean combined with a decent drop and the colour of your car. black rims on a black car is the way to go!

the euro gt fronts are bigger and the rears are the same size in the st and gt.

thanks guys.

i was a bit confused because i first read the sticky for wheel offset and it suggested a 36mm offset for a 7" wheel width and then the supplier gave a completely different offset.

so if i go with the 38mm will i still need spacers for the rears?

i've been looking at new wheels for the celica and found these:

rimstock

i preferred the team dynamics savage wheel, but in a charcoal colour.


the problem is that the supplier said the required offset for the celica is 48mm on a 17x7 wheel.
is this right? as i feel it would look too deep within the wheel arch.
