kellens st205 project. Options

[TEAMFaint]

Hello gents & ladies!

This is going to be my thread for my lovely ST205 which I have become graced with

I am the first owner with having it landed in Canada, imported through JDMSource in Calgary, and I am super
impressed with how clean of a car it is.

Car came landed with 80,000 kms. Tein HA suspension, 18" OZ wheels, DEFI boost gauge, MOMO Race steering wheel, HKS blow off valve, HKS 3" exhaust, and Recaro Confetti Racing Seats. Tastefully modded, but not exactly what I was looking for. As the trend has been going, I have also become acustom to the cleannn look so I am trying to clean up the car to make it look as stock as possible looking but have all the joys of the aftermarket mods.

Enough with the introduction though, how about some pictures

Just isn`t a 205 without the OEM riser blocks, so with cleaning up the car on came the spoilerblocks.
Purchased from 1sttoyotaparts, wicked price and amazingly fast shipping to Canada. Will consistently use for all my OEM parts.

hmm spoilerless perhaps?





mmm rally











have also ordered some oem replacement panels for the interior from Sean @ Zenautoworks. Will be picking them up Sunday, and
then the beginning of the interior strip/soundproofing will begin

I'd sacrifice a Hindu virgin for those wheels. MMM.

And I would've kept it spoilerless...but it's still sexy this way.

[Cuts_the_Pilot]

I`m still so unsure about the wheels!
st205's look so sharp with 18's i am just unsure if i`m 100% with the styling.
wheels are pretty beat up anyways, so maybe a refinishing would change my mind.

i agree with the slightly more lowering, just stinks that the teins are so stiff of a ride,
its already nearly crazy to drive with how bumpy it is haha.

[Johnnyny]

uh idk if i mentioned but those wheels are uhm delicious...

everyone seems to say this! haha,

how do you guys think that 225/45/18 rubber will look?
i dont mind the rims, maybe just a little more beef on the rubber will help it fill out more, give it a bit
more aggressive of a stance.

what tires you getting ?

[TEAMFaint]

what tires you getting ?

Unsure. Looking for a picture of a 6th gen with 18" rubber with 45 series.





On a side note, I have ordered my new muffler as well for the vehicle. Not a huge fan of the HKS super dragger exhaust,
want something a little different, so it will be replaced with...





I love the Blitz Nur Spec. Had one on my old ST185. Exhaust will be getting custom done on the 205; mandrel bent stainless, pretty much as straight as possible. Now I just need the 3" aussie downpipe

Nice car dude!

I've got a cat back Blitz Nur Spec system and it sounds absolutely Godly! Hope you enjoy it

[nathan76]

stunning looking celica you have there but i personally prefer the spoiler-less look. AWESOME car mate

[FORGMANN]

I have confetti Recaro's F/R in my st205 here in the states..Worth every penny.
Lucked out got seats, oem TOYOTA Recaro rails, and back seat cover all in the same
week.. I also have a set from a 98 jdm supra in my 95 MR2..Look great
and never a sore bum after a long drive.

what tires on it now....? 235/35r18 is same diameter as stock, i am looking
at 245/35r18 or 255/35r18.. Lot of guys in UK with 18's run 225/40r18's which
is semi-common size compared to rest.. with 18's stay with 40's series or 35
only use 45's if going to 17's.

[TEAMFaint]

I currently have 225/40 series rubber but
I want to try and smooth the ride quality as well.
I might just have to step down to 17s and up to 45 series rubber.


Update; making a trip to Calgary Sunday to visit Sean
and pick up my parts =))

[black13]

niiiiiice. where you getting the blitz exhaust? I've been looking for one but they're so pricy.
