Ok....sooo....I know it's a bit late for me to start it but might as well do it now. Lol. I bought my 1997 Toyota Celica GT for $4,500 on February 27, 2012. It had 175,000 miles on the cluster. It was in very good condition. The only problem I had on it was it had a CEL light on. Which was just the speed sensor in the cluster not working. Replaced that and the CEL was cleared. Also my car didn't pass emissions test but I eventually had that fixed after running on premium and Lucas Cleaner. Overall I was more than happy to pay the overpriced $4500.

I really want the JDM projectors also. We will see what else will be added onto my list as days goes by. Lol. Also I'm planning to keep my silly FOREVER!!! XD

Looks great! if I wasn't in love with my 18s I'd be on this, the close ups of your front splitters has given me a case of the I wants though.

I was going to get 18s but it's just a bit big for my style. I don't want to run lower profiles that I already am. California tends to like to "fix" their roads everyday. Lol.

Ha those are the same rims as my Dad's GTR

Really? Lol. These rims are becoming more hard to come by since they're discontinued.

must have side profile shot....

Yes. It's a must have to show how flushed the wheels are. Lol.

That hub swap is beast... Did you already have rear disc on the car before the hub change?

I am not a big fan of such kind of wheels but it really looks great on your car.

Im with Red on that one. I would never look twice st those in a catalog but wow, your car pulls them off great. Not the fav, but they look pretty awesome.

[RabidTRD]

I love advans. I like them better on MR2's, but they're pretty nice on celicas too!

I've always loved the classic look of these wheels. Lol.

I was kind of iffy about putting these on my car but the OEM three spoke looked so good on the gt4. Lol.

speaking of red, you need to paint your calipers black or something. the red just sticks out wayyy to much and is a little distracting.
side shot looks really good though!

Yea I've been planning on repainting them blue or black or just plain grey. Just never really got to it. Too lazy to mask off everything and sand down the calipers. Lol.

You just had everything off for the conversion......could have easily done it then lol

[BonzaiCelica]

hmm it seems this style of wheel belongs on an late 80's celica maybe 5th gen celica.

Yea I was actually going to do it but didn't have time. I only planned 2 days to do the conversion since this is my daily car. I spent 3-5 days doing the conversion instead. Skipped one day of class just to get it back on the road.

Yeap. This wheel is made back in the 80s or early 90s. Kind of forgot. 3 spoke is not commonly seen anymore. Nowadays it's all about 5 or 6 spoke wheels. Or mesh wheels.

Did you sell your enkei rpf1's?
