[Penkka]

Thought I´d share my Celica build with you guys.

Okay the car is 1994 GT-four WRC.
Bought it 4 months ago, and now it has these following improvements:

-HKS EVC boostcontroller
-HKS airfilter
-3" SS Catback-exhaust
-Apexi turbotimer

-Tein S-techs
-Whiteline rear anti-rollbar
-16" Oz Superleggera rims

and then the pics...

[Penkka]

I´ve found the new rims for next summer: Enkei EV-5. CANCELLED

and then, the huuuuge fcuking bomb:

I´ve been offered a special rollgage. what makes it special? Its TTE (=Toyota Team Europe) olds pacenotecar rollgage.
Im incredibly tempted..

hmmm ev5 nice

UK plates?

Looks awesome! Is it your Daily driver? Do you go on the track a lot? If not i wouldn't bother with the rollcage, too impractical for everyday use, and a lot of extra weight, but if you're rallying / racing then GO FOR IT

Yeah Luke, UK-plates in the pics, but not anymore.. I go to the track alot, and I have a massive perversion to rollgages and its really light gage, weighs only 45kg. I need to get it.

Is that factory paint, or has it been repainted in its life? It looks absolutely shiny and brilliant. Gorgeous car. Get yourself some JDM tails though.

Factory paint, its been well taken care of. JDM tails? Ill have to think about it. thats purely exterior, I rather invest on the performance..

I guess you guys don't get as much sun in Finland, therefore probably less paint damage. It looks brand-new in the pictures.

Lol, Geography fail! I'm sure they get like, 24 hours of daylight in some parts of Finland in the summer

[SwissFerdi]

:facepalm:

Yeah, you're right. But still, it can't be as fierce as the FL sun.

Nah, plus it's dark all winter

[SwissFerdi]

I hate this sun. The paint on my plastic body parts is taking it hard.

yeah, assload of fail ferdi

but its about color too, ten year old red car looks like shait, but this thing keeps rocking after 15 years!

[Penkka]

Yeah, I think I should add something again here..

Screw the enkeis, I found better. the rims are pretty much as the Work Emotion CR Kai´s.

But the big question is, what colour. I cant decide!

There are 3 options, Gold, Bronze and Gunmetal.. But I think they would all rock with white!
I´d photoshop them If I could, but cant

So, tell me youre opinions?
and the tires are going to be Toyo Proxes 4..

-P

[IllIllIll]

I'm partial to Gunmetal rims. I don't think the bronze or gold ones look good on most cars.

I ordered the rims today, in bronze, as I like the way bronze rims look on white cars.
Dragwheels DR31 17x8 in bronze, ET 35.

Should I run 215 or 225 tires, cant decide.. 215 would have a small stretched look.. hmm..

[Penkka]

excuse me for the honda part; but it has my rims!
Coming next week, should be awesome!

[Castrolman]

Nice looking 205 mate ,think your rad needs changing tho,hard to tell from your pic but it seems to be on the way out by the colour

[Stambo]

sell me your old rims

[Promasta]

get 235/40/17.

i have 215/45/17 on 17x8 +32 and its too high and not enough traction.
