It's very nice, simple, and clean. That's how I like my cars. Tell your homie that I like his car. I hope he doesn't do anything else to the body.

7th gen celicas remind me of computer mouses...

sorry, ill shut up now.

I dont know if he will do anything else! Hes reinvented the celica 3 times! 80,000 dollars into the car in the past 3 years

has he sold his original seats becasue i want some 00+ seat

well let me get you a pic of his seats that he had in before



just go here if ya wanna see more pics
seats

Looks hot. Love the color.

That car is awesome! What's he have done to the engine? It better at least be fast if he's put $80,000 into the car! >>

Yeah, what exactly has he done that he had to spend $80,000? Because even though he may have changed it 3 times, I don't see anything on his car that justifies the $80K expense. I've changed the appearance of my car 5 times and am currently swapping in a new motor, redoing the upholstry, redone the body, went through 3 sets of springs, etc., and I haven't spent anywhere near $80K.

$60K is still a lot. Unless he's done some real major motor work, he doesn't have nothing to show for it (based on the pictures).

Nice car, but I'm gonna have to throw up the BS flag on the $60K unless I see/hear what exactly he's done.

According to the images, assuming he didn't do any motor work, I estimate about $20K (assuming he did in fact change his exterior 3 times and minus the cost of the vehicle).

yeah thats fine i understand that! but he did at one point have a 11,000 dollar system till that i got ripped off


but yeah id call BS too but ill get ya some proof

Yes please... I'd also like to know what kind of system he had... >>

if you can't notice, 'cuz i can, i have ever so gradually "matured" with the way i have modded my celica. at the beginning i will admit i was kinda like a punk kid doing anything to the car just to be "cool" (note the neeper flys ....what the hell was i thinking ??). i really didn't know too much about the celica at the time because it was still new to me...... then i joined and found this site and learned a lot !!

- thanks LarryD for creating this site !!



anyhow,

of the top of my head...... (these are all rough estimates)

$29,633 - purchased the celica in feb'00
$ 5,500 - purchase of true JDM TRD parts may'00(wing,sides,lip,rear,suspension,exhaust)
$ 1,200 - installation of trd parts (toyota)
$11,000 - stereo equiptment alone (TV,dvd,subs,amps,ext.) june '00
$ 5,000 - custom installation of all stereo equiptment - june'00
here's some pics of the stereo i USED to have.....


$ 1,800 - neeper flys and tires
$ 1,200 - custom leather interior
$ 2,000 - misc. stuff (new tires, intake, ext.) - summer '00

-dead spot- (fall/winter '00/'01)

summer/fall '01-
$ 3,200 - 19" AXIS hagens w/ toyo tires
$ 700 - new tires (bad rear camber)
$ 1,200 - (2)new TRD front lips - damaged 2 within a month
$ 1,400 - jdm TRD front bumper
$ 450 - jdm TRD foglamps
$ 500 - new intake, injen polished engine kit, hoses, taillights (APC - euro )
$ 350 - hood scoop + paint

-dead spot - (winter '01/early spring '02)

spring/summer '02-
$ 1,000 - RMM sides, roof spoiler + paint
$ 1,200 - new stereo equiptment (previous stereo got damaged)
$ 700 - new 19" tires ....again
$ 150 - TYC taillights

fall/winter '02-
$ 3,300 - TRD clutch, LSD, fidanza flywheel + install


and now i am at this point of the ongoing changes of the celica

- new rims, tires
- custom bodywork & paint
- new interior (suede sparco milanos / re-hopolster rear to match)

i'm guessing about another $10k for whats going on now


so before the latest and current change taking place....

*i am roughly $71,350 (including the price of the celica)

add in the new look.....

*over $80k total into this celica, and i still want more !!!


pics of the different phases

wow!

Props to the dude who owns it. Anyone who blows that much on a car gets thumbs up from me. Also I can tell he has really changed his view on his car - looks much sexier to me now than the red version before.

PS. I really hope that valvoline paid him to put that huge sticker on the car! And I think it looks much sweeter without a wing than with that big ugly TRD one.

WOW

He was tired of looking like he had the action package so he went for somethign different! came out beautiful if you ask me! i hated 7th gens till i met him! Im in love! well not with all but with some

the cars def. got style... i love the wingless look..... looks like a mean car >>

I came up with a much lower estimated value on some of the stuff, but I'll take your word for it that he did spend that much. I still give him mad props for even blowing that much money (even with my estimate).

If he could afford to spend that much, ask him to pay a company to research a device that will shock the f*** outta vandalizers and car theives. You know... like the one they showed in Robocop. >>

Mad props to your homie...

And I'd like more info on his system still. I can see he had a full Kicker system, with the exception of the Alpine of course. But what else did he do besides the L5's, the amps, the custom fiberglass box, etc.?

Ray can you try to stop being so negative? This is about the 20th post you have written saying you don't believe something someone has said, or outright told them they are wrong. I would have PM'd you, but I'd rather mouth off in someone else's thread >>

well.... i guess natalie's showing off my celica again so i might as well come in here and answer any of the questions you may have regarding my toy

i do have to admit that spending the amount of $$ i have spent on this celica is a little rediculous, but it is like an obsession to me and at least it's been keeping out of what else is out there in this messed up world


but on with answering some questions for ya..........

as far as the stereo i used to have in the celica, it consisted of many components (many were hidden) and please remember that these were all purchased in the early summer of '00 so prices have fallen drastically from what i paid back then

(3) Kicker L7 solobarics
(2) Kicker ZR 250 amps
Kicker ZR1000
Phoenix gold wiring
Phoenix Golg Powercore
Kicker resolution separates frnt & rear
custom fiberglass subwoofer enclosure / amp racks / panels
Alpine CVA 1005 monitor
Alpine DVA 5205 dvd/cd
Optima red top battery

i forget every little item that was in this system, but i know there's got to be more in it. i just can't think of what they are, concidering that all i told the shop to do was make it the best, loudest, awesome stereo you can cram in there....... and after the bill it came to a little over 11k

any other questions or comments are welcome

.......thanks for the props everyone !!

oh yeah.....

for those that may be interested, my old RED/BLACK leather seats are still for sale !!!

i am asking $450.00 firm plus shipping expenses

ME? SHOW OFF YOUR CAR? NEVER!!!

Vavoline had me throw those graphics on the car for HIN 2 years ago because they need something "flashy" in thir booth, plus i got 2 days stay at a 5 star hotel in seattle as well as free stuff to HIN (passes, shirts, ext.) and also got a years supply of free SYNPOWER oil and engine treatment stuff !!

VIBRANT performance is my main international sponsor right now and i am currently debuting their product lineup for 2000+ celicas this november down in vegas at SEMA. they have so far hooked me up with various interior pieces (pedals, shift knobs, ext.) as well as their first prototype exhaust they made for '00+ celicas

That's definitely a lot of money to spend, even back in '00. I know that prices have changed dropped (significantly), but I have members in my team that have similar components and a lot of custom work that didn't spend that much.

But like I said before, mad props on your car man.

I especially like the current look. Just don't go crazy on the body because that nice/simple look kicks arse.

-Ray

DjTOY, what are your plans for the car in the future? I remember seeing your car years ago when it was red and looked like this:


Even back then, I thought your car was incredible, and now it's even better! Nice Work! >>

well.... i plan on doing a few more extreme mods but before i do those things i want to get myself a few other toys (i need a few waverunners and a street bike - r6, and a sport truck - chevy Z-71)

but yeah..... i wanna do a complete one-piece tilt foward front end (front bumper, fenders, hood, all molded / welded into one piece)

also i am debating on getting a lambo-door conversion kit...... but i almost wanna think that might over do it

.....what's you opinions ??


i also need to get some ICE again especially since i am basically doing the show thing with my celica but i want to get some sponsors to do that for me as well as find a sponsor for a nice set of bigger brakes (BAER, stop tech, AEM)

i've also got a polished "show-cage" getting installed in the next few weeks - it looks bad ass, i just gotta make a 5hr drive to medford oregon to pick it up - i just haven't had the time as of lately



Coomer -

.....where at did you see me at ?? was it at that lowrider show in yakima a few years back ??

if so, ......that was forever ago !!
