Well guys i got me a new car biggrin.gif , couldnt resist the chance to get another Black one.

Drove 270 miles to see it and came home with his very nice Black GT.

Service Station on the way home with a very big smile on my face biggrin.gif



Today i got changing a few things.

First up was to swap the JDM's from the white Celica



The car had a space saver but wasnt very space saving in went the space saver from desmond, in the pic you can see the difference.





I also swapped the parcel shelf,back boot trim and GT4 strut brace.



Then swapped over the HID's





Next up was the interior

Changed the clock to blue , installed stereo, also swapped the cubby hole over this meant i had to drill a hole on the gear surround for the alarm led, also got the silver dial trim over and the blue wide angle led bulbs







Last up was to de-tango the side repeaters, replaced the amber bulbs with amber leds



doesn't sound like much work but was at it all afternoon, if the weathers ok tomorrow i'll swap the halo plugs over and maybe swap the door cards.

Not got that much planned for this one as Jimmy has done all the big mods, biggest thing i have planned is Gen 7 interior, oh and put Desmonds boot on it with the GT4 blocks and 2 post spoiler biggrin.gif





Earlier today i swapped the wheels from my other Celica






I’m a bit stumped as the wheels that were on it are ET38 and the new wheels are et42, I thought great i will just get 4mm spacers from freaky parts and they will look the same as before, well I measured and it’s just doesn’t add up, at the closest point to the wheel arch the fronts were 14mm and the rears 21mm the new wheels you would expect to be roughly 4mm more but no, the fronts are 27mm and the rears are 34mm, wtf is going on, 4mm spacers aren’t even going to make a dent in making them look closer to the wheel arches. No happy frown.gif
