For that price I could get a used 911. Or a Ferrari 512TR. Or a slew of other European exotics that are actually fast.

Im from the NW suburbs btw. Nice to see another Chicagoland guy.

If you want new, Rockauto.com.

If you want to try used, car-parts.com and search all the junkyards.

They had a super bowl commercial about the new NSX.

lol.

If anything it looks more stretched than it really is due to the camera angle. I have 195s on my 15x8s and its BARELY stretched. Granted I spend most of my time in the drift community so my version of barely is probably a little different than some. A 215 though should be fine. I doubt you'll have any problems.

My buddys MR-S is so much better. I'm kinda pissed he's gonna sell it for a Lotus.

Yeah, I worked at a local tuning shop called MXPi Tuning. It was a Toyota shop (even though I spent most my time working on S13's and Z32s) It was shady as hell. I ended up getting kicked out cause I told the owner off on some ****. There are seriously only 2 shops in the area I trust and Ive known the owners for 5-6 years since I first got into drifting. ILLGarage and Touge Factory. **** the rest of the local shops, other than maybe Fizz (but I've heard quite a few complaints about their techs). It is really hard to find a reliable shop.

Today I went and filled out W-4's for my new job.

An Elantra? Is it at least a GT? Not that it matters because it's an Elantra. At least trade it in for a Corolla. lol

This will be epic when its done.

Did you use new nuts for the strut mounts? And I mean the center nut with the threaded nylon that attach the top mount to the strut. If you re-use them, they can loosen over time. Have someone zap it quick with an impact and make sure its actually tight.

Mostly dubstep. I also listen to J-Rock just to confuse people. Nothing like blasting Dir en Grey or Despair's Ray though a shopping mall.

NOS stickers. And manufacturer banners.

Hey guy with the Civic. We understood it was Honda before you spray-painted the "H" logo on the hood and roof. Then you put a "HONDA" vinyl across your windshield, and "H" logo on your back window. We get it, it's still a stock Honda. Mighty D-series power.

If I didn't have my Celica or Miata, I would probably get either an FC or AE86. Preferably the Trueno Coupe variety.

This is my Celica ST 6 years ago. Wasn't in very good shape then, in horrible shape now. lol. This is the only pic I even want to show because it's current state frankly makes me a bit sad.

They are XXR513's 15x8+0 with 195/45 Nexans.

Another picture from when I first got it. Only mod at the time was a Trust shift knob and Garage Vary front lip (yes, a real one) You can also see the front fender of my buddy Kevin's MR-S.

My Miata (silver) and my buddy Miles miata (white)

My friend Kevin uses the Duraflex TRD knock-off kit on his MR-S. He has had no complaints. They actually hold up ok as well. He drifts his MR-S as well as auto-x and road racing, and his front lip will generally last almost an entire season. If you don't track your car, you probably won't have any problems at all.

Hello. My name is Michael. I've been a lurker for about 6 years, but didn't make an account until about 3 years ago. Sadly, I don't think I ever posted anything (at least not that I remember). I've had several Celica's come and go in my family. I currently own at AT200 and my dad owns at AT180. Both cars are stock and rusted out. The AT200 is just my winter beater and daily for when my Miata is torn apart. (It's a drift car, so it's torn down quite often sadly)

BUT

My AT200 was my first car and I've always had a deep love and passion for Celica's. Lately, I've been thinking about getting a new daily driver and I can't get the idea out of my head of replacing the Celica with...another Celica. This time an ST204. Sadly, I'm between jobs now, so it won't be for awhile. However, I do plan on becoming more active on here along with other Celica forums in the meantime. Something I should have done years ago. Thank for reading my long introduction and I hope to get to know some of you better.
