This is definitely the most beautiful Celica I've ever seen. This is almost exactly what I want. Just a few tweaks here and there for me.

what are these tweaks you speak of, you have me very interested biggrin.gif

I think I like the OEM GT4 Spoiler on the back better, but yours is very clean, I like that also.

I also prefer the TOM's Front Lip.

I would take the yellow out of the rear turns.

And I would put a rear visor spoiler on the top of the hatch.


Needless to say, your car still looks amazing. I love how clean it is. It's definitely a beautiful car.

Very nice omp steering wheel. Suede ftw! What brand seats are they? Are you on fixed mounts or slider rails?

Dont worry, i can see they are fixed mounts and that they are racetech.

to be honest I have never been so compfy driving my Celica since having the OMP a complete better feel wouldn't have anything else now.

Doesn't fit very well on the GT4, even if you can mask the poor fitment it still looks bizarre on some angles. I've tried it, ended up ditching it.

I reckon C-one front lip, TRD sides & TRD rears. TRD spoiler, Why not? it is after all TRDGT4 and not OEMGT4.



And as always, this car is an inspiration to my little beast!

Quick question my friend,
What did you use to mount your gauges on the a-pillar? link to pods would be very rad as well!

One of the most gorgeous ST205's I`ve seen my man.

Perfect! Thanks my friend. Was contemplating going for the clean OEM look with 3 45MM gauges above my deck, however
I`m starting to really enjoy the raw rally look that you got going on. Looks great smile.gif


Also sorry one more question! I`m bombarding you here haha, what did you use to make the stainless piece that hangs overtop of the
exhaust to protect from exhaust burn/black? Looks clean.

If you a meaning the piece that has the bid TRD sticker on it well that's just as you say a piece of stainless sheet attached to where the battery bracket was mounted I drilled out the spot welds and fitted "riv nuts" see link Rivet-Nut

hope that helps.

So I have entered the "V" 4 and Rotary Jambo on the 27th of March Click here for more info

But the only problem is my car is a well daily driver and since the last show it needs a really ground up clean so below I thought I would show you all a little of how crazy I getting on this clean!!





Also I should mention this year I plan to have the Celica looking a little different than just straight white even though there's no better colour wink.gif But you will all have to wait and see once it gets to the show but dodn't worry I will get lots of photo's

stay tuned.......
