Its been awhile - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #44443 11 posts Started by redtcel
Well it has been forever, for those of you who dont know i totalled the celica at the beginning of the year. bought an 03 VW GTI 1.8t in july or august-ish and have modded it since. I swapped front ends with a jetta. which is the most obvious. Black textured rub strips. European rear bumper. and painted front and rear valences. Performance wise. I got it chipped. 3" turbo back, no cat no resonator. cold air intake. upgraded intercooler piping, upgraded diverter valve. and that is all i can think of.. lowered it a bit. what do you guys think?

thanks. the celi was nice for a while. till she died. trying to get the GTI show ready for this year. big shows commin up. VW specific.

The performance is great. i love it. the intake wasnt a gain (noticable) made the turbo and diverter valve sound louder. more of a pshh when in boost and changing gears, or letting off the gas. the got the chip after that, made a HUGE difference. i was i need of exhaust, got the 3 inch turbo back and it was a huge gain as well. intercooler piping, i noticed a bit in response. i love the car basically.

wait....u talkin bout the performance chips off of ebay or somethin? u notice gains with those?
i like the pics. what camera did you take those with ?

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
lol no. it isnt exactly a chip. a chip in old school talk is an actuall computer chip with little prong on the bottom that you replace blah blah blah.

new technology. it is a software upload. expensive too. reprograms fuel boost timing.

and the camera is OLD school olympus 3.2 MP the C-3020
Nice work mate, very euro looking.
thank you. smile.gif that is what i am going for. euro plus. next up is some dished rims. spaced, not tucking, almost rubbing, a little bit of stretched tire and ill be done for a little bit. looking for some R32 side skirts to finish up the body work.
i dont konw why but i'v alway loved the looks of those cars and what the modds can do to it,, totaly amazing!!
