TRD/SS-III Custom Build Thread Options

[JFXtreme007]

Hey guys,
My name is James and I am from Sydney Australia and am going to convert my current 1997 SX into an SS-III (some things may say the same due to preference).
To start off my car is sadly in the workshop after I had a minor crash after the car understeared so currently I have a limited amount of money due to repairs, which I'm sure some of you understand haha. None the less I have bought a few things that i will be adding once the car is back in my hands

These include:

JDM Tail Lights: $190 AUD (Including Postage) - From JoshuaM


OEM Fog Lights: $49 USD + $56 USD for postage - From Ebay


3 Part TRD Front Strut Brace: $410 AUD (Including Postage) - From JoshuaM


OEM Side Skirts: $25 AUD (Need to pick up)


GT-Four/SS-III WRC Spoiler/Wing: $80 AUD (Need to pick up)


SS-III Rear Splitters: $180 AUD + $30 AUD postage - From JoshuaM


SpreeLED Full Dash Conversion Kit (Blue): £24.99


Will have to prepare some of what I have bought (Re-paint and sand) but when all done should look great!
Will keep all you 6GC members updated I hope enjoy, awesome things on their way!

Awesome! Great to see you're starting a thread. Are you planning to finish it off with the BEAMS engine at some point in the future?

[JFXtreme007]

Thanks mate and yeah thats the plan want to get the body all set first and then get to some performance, including the BEAMS Red Top Engine of course Can't wait to see how it goes with around 200BHP!

I am looking forward to following this thread! I hope you achieve your vision of what you want your celica to look like.

[JFXtreme007]

Thanks very much man, really appreciate it I am also hoping to achieve the goal set, it may take a while but it'll come around in the end

Hey guys, just a quick update on my car currently since I had my crash. The front left panel has been replaced and the left rear panel has been pulled out (still needs to be painted). A new left low beam headlight has been installed, as well as some new clear side indicators! I have also picked up the spoiler and side skirts and should be doing the side skirts at left in the next month or so and the spoiler when i have rear splitters on etc. (It's a bigger job due to my car being post facelift, therefore 3 post spoiler). Anyway guys here are so before and after pictures, I think its a really good job

Front Left Guard (Before):

Rear Left Side(Before):


Rear Left Side (After):


Headlight Cases Removed & New License Plate:


Clear Side Indicators:

[JoshuaM]

You did a pretty good job on that guard rail At least it was all cosmetic, no structural dramas to deal with.

See if you can get a package deal for the left rear paint, hatch paint, side skirts and splitters and then all the new paint will match itself. If its too expensive white isn't too hard to spray yourself on smaller pieces.

The courier just picked up your SSIII rear splitters, delivery in 2-3 business days. I paid for the additional redelivery too in case you miss the truck.

Also, the invoice came through from Japan last night for the TRD strut bar - you should have it by next Wednesday

Thought about a certain white TOMS front lip?

[JFXtreme007]

Yeah I think it was a really good job, the left front guard was from the wreckers and was already white! and sadly there was structural damage, i needed new left suspension and a new left front wheel hub. and yeah i'll have to get some paint soon to do all that and awesome man, really cannot wait to get them thankyou again! And I'll be honest I have thought about it haha, but I think i prefer the look of just the plain SS-III Splitters for both rear and front haha

[JFXtreme007]

It is an awesome site and thankyou for the warm welcome and I couldn't agree more, would love to get some projectors

Thankyou very much, and i think it is a damn good job done in the repairs, can't wait to get the paint on and the spoiler, skirts and splitters etc and yeah Josh has hooked me up with plenty and I'm sure more to come haha Thanks for wanting to follow this thread, I really appreciate it!

[RoadRage]

lol I got my spoiler from josh and it took me about 2 months (because of laziness) to prep, paint and install

good luck with yours

I still gotta put my sideskirts on too

Actually reminds me.. i should also update my sig

[JFXtreme007]

Mate I've gotta admit, your car looks freakin awesome! and I agree that the Projectors change the looki dramatically, can't wait till i can afford some I have however recieved my fog lights and splitters, fog lights will be attached hopefully today, but not conected just yet. And good luck with your side skirts, should look really nice and i'm my spoiler can look really nice as well Thanks again!
p.s - Really nice thread you have by the way

[JFXtreme007]

Hey guys,
Just a little update, still haven't gotten around to having the rear of the car painted yet (looking to paint all parts at one time). Have installed fog lights on the car but haven't wired them up yet, just needing a relay wire Anyway here are some pictures with fog lights:

Before:


After:

[RoadRage]

nice work

i remember i pm'ed rentaspace about 15 times asking how to do the wiring on mine haha since i had no idea

what's next after the wiring?

fixing rear paint?

[JFXtreme007]

Haha yeah i've been the same, all the wires and everything confuse me.
and yeah once iv'e wired them up ill be the hoping to do the painting and also put the TRD struct brace on which i recieved today. and at the same time as painting I will also paint side skirts, rear splitters and spoiler

[JoshuaM]

I have a sneaking suspicion that your car may have the wiring already in the car ready to either plug in or cut into... check into it

How does the strut bar look? It takes less than 5 min to install... go do it now! Haha

[RoadRage]

What about JDM Tails yo! ?

That's also a 5 minute install

[JFXtreme007]

Yeah i do have all the wires already i just need some relay cables to go with the switch i bought
And i would but its raining those damn bolts have been done up tight on my car too haha But yeah it looks awesome

Yeah i need to do them as well just waiting for the paint to be done first, cause i'll have to take it out anyway to do the painting, once the painting is done itll all be alot easier haha

[RoadRage]

sweet as, now move to Melbourne so i have some 6gc buddies down here
