6G Celicas Forums

Hello friendly 6GC Community and other guest of this site!

Bit of background info =)

I've recently got my license (so im young) and as my first car I got a Celica SX

The car was bought new from the dealer and has been in our family for the whole time. At least I can say that I trust the previous owners of the car Thecar has been serviced regularly and has hit 330,000kms or so... (quite a few in my opinion). The car drives fine and has no problems what so ever. Only some faded paint and a few scratches and dents here and there. I have done (IMO) quite a bit of work on it. And i will post it all in this one go, and continue along.

My car when I first got it


So yeah it needs A LOT of work to it in my opinion...

Of course im not going for those radical and overdone bodykits, like your Vielside kits and all that jizz jazz. I reckon those look over the top and sorta make you say, "0.0 GAY."

So me being simple as possible decided to remove the rear spoiler and to me it just adds more aggression to the car.



Bit of DIY HOME work and the spoiler was off and the holes were bog filled. I didnt paint the car until about 3 months down the road.

After a few months of driving this fun car I made a decision to respray it.

Now i know I'm going to get hated on and everyone will say "What the hell did you do this for" and blah blah blah.

I resprayed it in the original colour. Greeny torquise. I like that colour. But i resprayed it outside... in the open.

Hate me all you want.

Yes it was a stupid mistake and i will never do it again. I did have a bit of dust and all in the clear coat. But its not perfect. But compared to the old faded paint i really happy. It cost me only $350!

So SHINY! 0.0

Sooo now im rolling around in my new HOME JOB painted celica..

Don't you ever hop in your car and say. I need to do something. Lets spice it up. And then you go do it and everything goes soo well until a big little complication throws everything off?

LIKE THIS??!?!?!


Yes. I decided to change my steering wheel. I thought a steering comes off by removing the centre nut, and off you go. Well my car had for some reason a grub screw underneath the steering column holding it in. And being me, I grinded off the wheel and realised what a mess i have caused.

But all was good and a new steering wheel was put on.



I also followed the yellowness of the new wheel and painted my dash to follow...


Looks ok IMO?

I shall be rolling like this for a while!

Thanks for reading and I shall continue on updating!

I was with you up until yellow interior.

give him a break. he's young.

but hey there, welcome. looks like you're off to a good start.
what else you got planned for it. The forum here is a great community and the perfect place to look and research what you want to do to your celica.

looks like you are off to a good start!
Great job with the hole patching

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

I like the Mightycarmods sticker

They live like 5mins from my house haha

The paint job looks really good! Who cars if it's not perfect... Nothing you ever do will be 100% perfect, and no matter how you try 'little' complications will stall you for hours haha

Good Job so far

HAHA! I was planning to paint the car black, so yellow would of stood out really nice... But then i realised how difficult it would to do a proper respray



Im planning to put on some splitters But im not sure what to go for.. I was thinking TRD style splitters?

Also going to have a duckbill and hopefully some MOAR POWA with a 3sgte conversion. The 1mz doesnt sound to bad either But i just love the sound of turbos..



THANKS!



YES! I really want to rid of the antenna! AHAH LOOKS like a RC toy car!



MCM! Im really jealous of you right now.. Im 500000000 km away on the other side of STRAYA



Some good news! Soooo since the car is going to be kept this colour, I went and changed my car a bit.. pics and all that maybe later on tomorrow

ITS BEEN GIVEN A MAKE OVER!

ALSO A SECRET SURPRISE!

THANKYOU FOR ALL YOU GUYS NEGATIVE/POSITIVE FEEDBCK!

Here's a little update on whats changed in and on my celica!

Bought a pod filter, with some piping and ran it to my fender, following the right up that urbandork did.

Thread here:
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=21648

SUCKING IN THE COOLEST AIR POSSIBLE!!
Where it sits now.


Close up.

Love the pod sound, especially in 3rd gear

In addition, i got brand new wheels!! A full set! and keeping it a legal 35% tint all round

Jks i picked up some hub caps from super cheap auto. Bargain for only 15 dollars for the set.

Also i found some black gutter paint and repainted the inside of my interior, whilst changing the steering wheel to a better and slimmer SAAS steering wheel.

LOOKS BETTER?!


BASSSS DROPPP WOBWOBWOBWOB!
2x12" Apline S Subs And a 850W Mono Block to Power it.


Installed Some ebay HID's with White LED Parkers to match.

And found this sort of Scratched cannon muffler on the side of the road.

It was left at the front of this guys house that had a WRX sitting at the front with what looks like a shiny new muffler.
Maybe it was off that?

Thats it for now.

Bought some 194 LED bulbs, and some Clear Sidemarkers with Matching Clear Indicators as well!

Hopefully to see them soon

Till then!

haha. can't beat a free muffler.

Actually the coolest air would be directly outside of the car, but that's just tacky.

I think what happened is that muffler was held onto a Civic with zip-ties and they finally gave way.

Hey guys! Time for a little update :3



Mhmm dats right
New wheels :3 These are Oz Racing, wheels... Some model, but suit the car in my opinion well

Dimensions:
17x7 +40? And with 215/40/R17

And these came off a subaruuuuuuuu

Fit good! No rubbing and are look good in my opinion.

Maaaad JDM sticker bomb, +25kw


Another photo


In addition, new clear side blinkers. Also i got, a new exhaust just a muffler, but thinking of upgrading to a xforce cannon, cheap IMO.

Will upload photos some time later

Thanks for reading!

Just need some clear front indicators and some spacers for the rear wheels

shoulda gone with 215/45/17, fits the car a little better IMO.

definitely needs at least 25mm spacers in the back. it's a $60 mod most everywhere

Finally an update!

So after 7months of no updating, i actually have a proper update!

few months ago i got BC BR coilovers.


Really worth every dollar for the set and changes every single aspect of how you drive the car!!

MOAR PHOTOS!

Also got red lug nuts

phat.

after doing a bit of offroading

needsmorelow?

side view

About a month ago i decided my hids were too much attention to the police so i decided for a long term upgrade and bought pprojectors!
before

during

after


)

also another great upgrade!!

and ive started to add stickers all over my car


and the addiction has begun.

and one more weight ADDITION to the car...



sorry for crappy iphone pic but yeah.

got vacuum, voltage and tempurature gauges though it looks good ahahah
also installed SPREE LED KIT but dont have any photos part from the one above so yeah

WAITING ON:

Until the next update! Thanks for reading

Wooooo.... A few good updates in there

BUT.... why keep the steelies.... why!

i just dont like the feel of curb rash ahahha
and plus the rear camber is out by a bit so i dont want to wear out the other set

Yeah, that is a reason to stay 15".... but it doesn't need to be on steelies!

Whatthe's car on OEM 15's;

his car is so clean! the steelies will hide the spacers as well when i get them IMO ;p

^ wish my OEM rims were in that good of condition!

but nice updates! lots of things I need to do as well. hahahah

They actually arent that good condition! just cleaning it lots and adding some tire shine that makes it look black


and it takes time to get things done! Cars is a costly hobby
