what size and offset are the Axis wheels? front and back if you can. also is the Axis that new Maxxis(i think thats correct) lip effect that they have with some of their wheels or is it the offset that creates the lip for you?

its a little of both, offset and lip size... i had to role the rear fenders to make the wheels fit... thay should clear by 2mm!!!

I was just skimming and I thought I read "The celica should be very close to this when finished"..
Then I saw the pic and went.. DAMNnnnn....
Then I did I double take and read it again...

How many coats of clear and stuff are going on?

nice color. the color that my brother used for his st205 was blue blood red with extra clear. makes it look deep in color.

yeah, am currently working on my GT to fit some 9.5", maybe 10" rims rite now (not to sure yet)

i've been lookin at Axis wheels and their Maxxis tech is pretty cool...expands lip size, gives a rwd look, without sacrificing the dimensions of the rim to much.

if yours are 18", i assume they're 18x8 all around with the Maxxis tech in the rears, correct?

and where did you have to roll? the front or the rear fenders?

i think i'll have to do some major stretching to fit the 9.5-10" rims but the end result is worth it for me

[Slick]

Beautiful rims! Are they staggered? In the second picture it looks like they are. You're car is going to look great!

You are correct... the wheels are not staggered sized, just staggered offset, it gives the celica a look of a RWD car... I made a template to find the max offset and mesured it down to 2mm cleareance for that "perfect flush look"...

[supradog1]

Well... today i went down to the shop to see how the car was coming along, to no suprise alot was not done dew to other cars that were there before my car.. but he did get the huge dent out the rear quarter panel!!! all it needs now is some body filler and sanding and were good to go!!! later this week we will move on to the rest of the body!!!







Almost for got!!!! I got in more new parts also :

sloted/drilld rotors...


braied brake lines...


valor nvg-670 wt navi/dvd/ipod head unit
pionner center channel speaker
mb quarts QSC component speakers x4
power acoustik 1800 watt 12" fubar subs x2, 800 watt 4 channel amp, 2000 watt 1 channel amp and 6 feret power cap...


hks 170 mm carbon ti black box (muffler)...

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I like those wheels. Bold choice. Watch those rotors for breaking, I'm too chicken to buy drilled rotors. I would like to see the radio system left out, those things are too heavy. That quarter isn't ready for filler yet, I still see rust. It'll come back quick if you don't completely get rid of it. Good luck with your project.

[Nibbe]

Thats true. Make sure they take all the rust out of it cos otherwise it wouldnt take too long to get rusty again.

[supradog1]

[supradog1]

[supradog1]

I will hopefuly get a chance to stop by the shop today and see how the car is coming along before i leave out this week... this morning i finaly got my shark fin antenna!!!

I am planing to mount it just as the BMW,s have them (rear part of the roof) and i will also be hiding my GPS and XM antenna underneath the shark fin... this should turn out as a very clean install with classy german styling!!!
