Update

Havn't updated in a while. Keeping cash aside to decide what to do with the car.

But recently,
New Custom White Dials...AGAIN:




Bought these off a Polish website, and couldn't have been any happier.
Also replaced my Temp and Fuel needle too.

AND!
Made my 3rd brake light into a celica one:



Up next im attempting to create some eyelids and random things

Quick fiddle with photoshop:



This week i may attempt to make eyelids..
Its my birthday next week, i may treat myself to some tasteful mods.. (ShortShift, Cooling panels, Hood Dampers)

Also looking at this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/93-99-TOYOTA-CE...2314771e92#shId

Nice dude! I am curious to see how that little spoiler will look.

^^Is it possible to get the high res. picture?

Pretttty sure this is the one your after http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz60/Ti...e_/IMG_3333.jpg

Timmyface, I honestly don't know what excites me more. Your car itself, or the amazing work you do framing her with your camera.

Thanks Hector. I'd say the photography whilst I still have a baby engine. Once I get a Beams or 3sgte we'll be sweet.

Nice work mate
Love it!

Thanks a lot! This is my favourite celica on this site!! (no offense to others, you all have great and amazing cars, but I found something special in this one) I hope you don't mind if I made similar mod on front end (SS3 splitters, black lip in gap between splitters) because I fall in love with it

Wow, thanks Grega. I don't mind at all, I'm glad I can be an inspiration to you and others. Hopefully there's alot more greatness to come

Yeah once you get a decent engine in there it will definitely be amongst my favourites on 6GC.

How is your Beams living up to your expectations. I'm still undecided, but leaning more towards the beams as its an easier drop in to the 3sgte.
Have you got it dyno'd yet to see what it pulls?

Apart from thinking of a new engine, i'm still constantly thinking of new rims.

How about some Bronze 18"s, Dropped more and stanced?

Looks so sick^
Do it.

I'm very happy with the Beams now. It took a while to get used to, but now that I know the engine better it's much easier to get the most out of, and it's really enjoyable to drive hard!

I would like more power though, and I think that maybe if I had my time again I would go down the 3SGTE path. But that said, I haven't driven a 3SGTE powered Celica either, so I couldn't say whether it would be more fun.

I haven't had mine dyno'd yet, but I'm sure sometime down the track I will do. It feels strong though, so I'm not too worried about it just yet.

i was too was deciding between the Beams and the 3sgte at one point too and i was lucky enough to be able to test drive both and the Beams is a very fun car but 3sgte is the way to go in my opinion because you can drive it everyday just like a 5s and get about 3500rpms and it just sucks you back into your seat.

weigh your options out and figure out your power goals, from what i hear with the Beams swap is that eventually people want more power and you have a wide range of power with the 3sgte.

car looks great man keep it up!

oh ya, i went the the 3sgte

They are Vincent doggys, formally on whatthe's car .
They fit pretty wel though, I did very minimal sanding in certain spots, but other than that the bolts bend it enough and hold it in place.
There's not too much fuss at all putting them on a pre-ace.

Meh. Those are a waste of money. You can't get a good enough adjustment with those. They're usually only +/- 1 degree. Smaller bolts (grade 10) and heavy duty washers for the win.
