Another update,
I got a puncture on the way home one day, and decided it was time for a new set of tyres as I did not like how skinny my current ones were and 3 of them were low on thread anyway, and then my celi was off the road for a week getting a new throttle and clutch, but now it runs great ![]() So went out for a cruise with another 6gc buddy and we ended up snapping these pics ![]() ![]() Which led to a cruise in the mountains where we found snow! (Yes snow in Strayaland) ![]() ![]() I still wanted to try a different colour for the interior, and I was sick of the wraps I tried peeling and bubbling, so I gave Plastidip a try, and I'm liking how its come out, nice and subtle ![]() ![]() --- In more exciting news, A GT-Four bumper and bonnet came up for sale in another state, and I jumped on it, but tried a ridiculous offer first, and he accepted it! and threw in a few extras for extra $50. Thanks to Ryan (Rentaspace) for picking it up for me and keeping it till I drive ~900km up to Sydney in a few weeks. Obviously it will be while till its on my car till I bring it back to Vic and paint it ![]() ![]() ![]() A week after than I was linked to a cheap 95 SX, and it had Caldinas, it was a too good of a deal to pass up! ![]() So with the help of some friends, and a permit I drove it home, the engine ran perfect, however the ride wasn't the smoothest! Click and clunks and a whole bunch of noises were coming from it, but it made it home! and the 2 Celicas met for the first time ![]() I jacked it up and check out the problem, and both bearings seem gone along passenger CV joint, and then I got curious about the Caldinas... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I love the look, I can't decide between the two.. going to keep the gold ones for a while anyway, i just got new tyres, I pulled out my old 15's from the garage and put those on the second celica, and put the Caldinas away, now its time to decide to keep this car as a back up, part it out, or repair its problems and try to sell again... hmm tough decisions -------------------- |

I personally like the look of the Gold wheels, but a bigger tire size would help get rid of some of the wheel gap a lot.
I wish I coudl run that wheel on my car ![]() -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

I did get bigger tyres, went from 205/40/17 up to 215/45/17, and reduced wheel gap a bit, i still need to get new shocks so i can put my Teins in.
Instead, I'm getting distracted by stuff like this... I was visiting a wrecker to try find some various small parts and behold I found this in one of the Celicas! ![]() Red Leather! in near perfect condition. some small scratches I had a bit of a think, and even though it seems a bit tacky I decided to buy since it was super cheap and give it a try crammed into friends car ![]() At home ![]() ![]() Will give a good clean and fit in my car and see how I like, if not I will sell on ![]() -------------------- |

So finally home and quickly changed the seats over because that night I was leaving for a roadtrip from Melbourne to Sydney with a few mates
Didn't take pics till later in the journey, and unfortunately I forgot to bring the memory card for the camera so it was useless, had to settle for phone pics ![]() ![]() ![]() Met up with James (JFXtreme007) and snapped a few pics ![]() ![]() Then went to the yearly Toyotafest event but didn't take any pics haha Picked up the GT Four bits from Ryan and headed home (yes all crammed in the boot) Second we got home I was eager to try out the new bonnet ![]() Quite nice besides the different colour ![]() I got plenty of things to keep me busy in the garage now, Also I was letting my turtle have a wander in the grass in the front yard and got this picture with the second celica, two turtles in one pic haha ![]() More updates to come... hopefully ![]() -------------------- |

It's actually a universal ''Rhino Lip" of eBay for 30 bucks, basically same thing as the EZ Lip but this one claims to be more 'durable'
Thanks cheela ![]() THE LUCKY STREAK CONTINUES! Friend contacted me of this beauty popping up at a wrecker, of course I ran down to take a look ![]() seems like a 3S-FE import, had a few JDM goodies but 90% of the stuff was really worn out and looked disgusting, I salvaged what I could, got my hands on the visor, Forgmann spoiler, TRD rear spats, rain guards and it also had an air purifier! I never seen one so I thought why not ![]() ![]() ![]() Not bad I think ![]() annnnnd in other news, I finally placed an order on a part thats been long overdue.... more updates incoming ![]() -------------------- |

I also got a set of TEIN lowering springs from rentaspace, but i am holding out on the install, till i get around to buying some new shocks along with it. Only took 1 year and 3 months to acquire shocks ![]() I'm gathering a few more items so I can install all at once while the cars apart -------------------- |
