Couple more quick shots

Sell car -> GT4!!!

[jordisonjr]

haha believe me.
I've considered it a lot.
I don't think I'd get nearly what I paid for the car if I sold it though.
I've had it up for sale for a bit and had absolutely no response on it.

[Goonter]

Damn. i just got lucky i guess.. The GT4 is just a whole new car. it's ridiculous. You lose a bit of your gas mileage for something so much more. Replacing parts WILL be a bit more of a hassle than our USDM counterparts but its still just a couple days difference cause of shipping. But i definitely love mine. Kinda sucks though since im in university and it gets kinda costly paying for a car and university at the same time

[jordisonjr]

Yea, i paid way too much for my car, because i didn't really know anything about it at the time, or what it was worth.
If I would have known I could have gotten a gt four for not much more, i definately would have done that.
But I guess you live and learn.

But the whole VIU thing kinda turns me away from bringing one over, and the fact that all of my friends with jdm/rhd/turbo'd cars have had nothing but problems with them.
Either they run like ****, or have a hell of a time trying to find parts.

Cars back on the road again.
That weird revving problem that started a year ago and took me on a wild ride through numerous parts, turned out to be the distributor like some had said.
Thanks to Stephen_lee for selling me his used distributor, saved me quite a bit of money, toyota wanted like 500 bucks for a new one.

6gc.net comes through again, and helps me solve all my car issues
Thanks guys!

What the heck is that monster in the back of your photos?

[jordisonjr]

Lol what monster?
I don't see anything.

[RabidTRD]

Washed the car up quick today, and snapped a couple pics with my sisters crappy point and shoot.
Didn't really know what I was doing so I just threw it on auto haha.
Some are pretty dark, put osme turned out pretty good IMO.





Car is in need of a good wash/clay bar/wax, which I might get around to this weekend depending on the weather.
Any tips/opinions welcome.

Looks like some kinda torture rollercoaster

[jordisonjr]

Ohhhh that hahaha.
Its a museum of human rights that is currently under construction.
Its p[robably one ofthe weirdest buildings in our city, or will be when its completed.
It would probably be a lot easier to tell if I had a better camera lol

NP bro. Glad it worked for you!

Aquired some JDM Tails, and an Apexi ST205 strut bar!!

Jdm tails are in, not sure if the Strut bar will fit yet, so if not it'll be for sale shortly.
Pics soon to follow.

What wheels are those if you don't mind me asking?

[jordisonjr]

They're MSR 0457 18x8 +35

I recently realized they look similar to BBS LM's without a step lip, not sure if they are suppose to be replicas or what but they have the similar spoke style.

[bruiseboy2]

get honda s2000 stub antenna so your car doesnt like like a remote control car anymore. Maybe wrap the riser blocks in C/F. this is one beautiful celica though, they rims sit nice. One question though, does the car feel kinda strange on those rims? Meaning does it seem slower acceleration and loss of handling or on the contrary. I have heard of some people putting too large of rims on 7th gens and losing a **** ton of handling. all and all sweet ride

[jordisonjr]

Thanks man I apprecaite it. I feel like my car isn't special cause all the cars I roll around with are RHD, trubo'd, or SLAMMED lol.

I've thought about wrapping in carbon Fibre, but I'm not really a fan of the vinyl wrap on the exterior, and I think I would do a poor job of making it look nice, so Im probably just going to leave it for now.
I'm pretty happy with how it is right now though, although it coudl use some sideskirts, but can't really afford (or find them haha) right now. I've also thought of doing the s2000 antenna but kind of got sidetracked haha. I think to keep it simple, I would just unplug the motor to the antenna or something to keep it down, because I don't really use the radio, so that sort of solves the problem.

As for the wheel thing, I didn't really notice much of a difference at all. I drove on the stocks about a month ago and when I switched over to the 18's again i didn't notice much change at all, but it could have something to do with the width as well.

Thanks for the compliments!

[bruiseboy2]

yea no problem. Thats what I ended up doing was just undo the motor to it. Man I wish I had a less rusted out celica. Damn north east.

[jordisonjr]

Yea these cars are really bad for rust, I got really lucky when I bought mine as it has none at all.
There's a little bit of rust on the bottom of the doors on the inside, and a little spot near the wind shield but thats about it.

I like what you did to your car. It has inspired me to start a thread of my own in case I start and continue with my project car.
