Id like to know as well about the gauges. I think he actually used LED Strips behind each of the numbers. I think there was a forum member on the UK boards that did something similar a while back?

I found these alloy wheels are spacers to keep the original CELICA's GT4 size.

Just in case anyone wondering.. ALL the works on this car where made by me
So if you have any questions - i think you should as me just in case About the Speedo lights - there are around 70 white leds (white led strips) and every needle is lighted up by 2 red leds. This is really difficult job to do - cuz to place the leds to light up needles - you have very very limited amount of space, so you need to work with tiny leds, and place them in the right location to light up the needles right way... Wheels are Volk Racing TE37 17x7,5 ET48 with 1'inch spacers all around. Wheels on the front - sits extra flush (would need some angle on the front if the car was lower ) and on the rear there is still some clearance to the arches Winter Wheels - just bought in Japan - 16x7 ET48 - so they will fit easyer without any work on the arches This post has been edited by doGGy: Dec 6, 2009 - 12:41 PM -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

Guys... I did these LONG time ago - and i know that there is always A LOT of talks how everybody wants them but as this is totaly hand build item, not something mass produced - so its kinda expensive thing and takes time... And in reality not everyone is ready to buy one once they are offered...
And counting that $ value is extremly low at the moment here - price wise this would be NOT worth it for you guys... Maybe later, when US value rises up - it will be better
