John and I are currently trying to do the 4agze swap. What if John was a dick about it? Didnt help me out at all? The point of this place is community. I dont think that having JDM tails is gonna make u all that unique. The way i figure it, John and I will be one of 2 people in the world the 6th gen celica w/ the 4agze. That's something. Will it last? I doubt it. I'll gladly help anyone who ask me questions even tho i probably wont be able to answer them. I am sure John intends to keep answerin peoples questions. I think kuya is right, and that if you dont want anyone to copy off of you just dont post about it. But as you can see, there still isnt as much originality in these tails cuz, they're off of a stock car in japan, and other people can get them just as easy. If you want something really original the only way you are gonna get it is to start playing with fiberglass. I dont hate any of you guys, i just think that it's futile to hold out on something like that. I dont know, maybe i'm just rambling.... -Ryan

Agreed

And no offense but they are just tailights...i mean its not like they are a custom bodykit built by hand or something

yea forreal if you can just buy it (given that u have to find the numbers) i dont see ne thing wrong with it. plus i want my fellow celica owners to represent toyotas to the fullest and show those wannabe hondas wat we made of.

unless its something completely custom then i understand...

And what people fail to understand is that if everyone did represent their car to their fullest... and everyone did the same thing(s) to their Celica's... we won't be any different from those Civic / Integ owners...

All you'll be hearing is... damn... that's played out... damn... that's rice... damn... all those Celica's look the same ... etc...

This is why I have high respect for those that have done their own research and their own dirty work to make their cars unique and stand out from the rest.

Or paid the most money?

EDIT: I just spent about the last two hours E-mailing about 50 people with 96+ Currens. I'm sure one of them will be willing to give me the part numbers.

:::SHAKES FIST:::

haha, j/k dude...

Kuya is in a different category. I didn't see his pics originally, but if he thinks people will copy his originality then thats ok in my books - Doesn't bother me in the slightest. But the fact is that our cars are already rare, and finding parts for them can be hard. Super, the only reason I can think of for you to not give em out is that you went through a lot of pain to get those part numbers. Did someone just give them to you? I really want to know the answer to that question. Are you a hypocrit?

I don't want to go on repeating what other people have said, hell, I'm not even going to get the lights. I just can't understand how you spend so much time in this community learning from others and teaching them as well, and hold back when people ask you for help. Our cars aren't like civics, most people don't even know what they are.

It probably means **** to you, and I do believe you are a good person, but as an "internet entity" you've lost respect from me and others I'm sure - over something fairly minor.


I think the problem should be solved once and for all by the mods adding all JDM / Alltrac parts to the parts database WITH NUMBERS.

Oh PS to kuma:

The whole point of this website is to help people enjoy their 6th gen. The part database and how-to articles are there to help people with projects and sourcing parts. From your statement, maybe Coomer should delete those sections?

I understand what your saying, but there is a difference between paying a shop to fit out your car, and giving someone some part numbers - they still have to source the parts, order them, wait long periods of time for them, install them, and enjoy them. Also if you have looked at OReO's gt4 pictures thread you would know that projectors and JDM tails are hardly unique - there are thousands of cars with them.

Me hold back? HAHA... Why don't you perform a SEARCH for topics associated with my board name to determine how much info and feedback I've provided to this community. If you honestly feel that I've been holding back and not helping out, well my friend, you obviously haven't spent enough time on this board over the past couple months reading what I've posted. It appears that your attitude towards me has been developed over recent posts that I've made in regards to sharing info about my sideskirts. However, I honestly think you should take some time and read the OTHER posts that I've made over the past couple of months.

I understand what this board (and the many others that are like it) is for and I've been making contributions. You speak as if all I've been doing is brag about my accomplishments, ignoring those who ask for assistance. I've had people PM me and I've responded with (accurate) information. Nevertheless, you don't know me and I don't know you. So let's cut the "let's judge Kuya" act. You know, if you lived here in the states, I'm sure you would have a totally different outlook on this miniscule debate, considering that the 205 was never released here to the states.. But since you don't, I can understand why you think the way you do. I can respect that, your personality, and you as a person since attitudes are influenced by culture, society, and simply where you live. However, I would like to know if YOU can respect why I (along with many others) have this type of attitude towards withholding CERTAIN (not ALL) information? If not, you have a lot to learn in life.

Well when you guys say that as of right now you are the only 2 people with curren tailights on a celica coupe I think you are wrong. Not to be mean, or say im a pro at cars or anything, but think about it.. of all the celicas in the US I honestly think there are more then 2 of you who have slapped some curren taillughts on your car.

my .02 cents.

p.s. kuya has answered many a questions on this board, many of which have helped me. I believe he has every right to keep his ideas to himself. Its not like hes on the board being useless, hes spreading his knowledge of cars, just not his own personal ideas.

The numbers will be posted eventually. Hell I talked to a curren owner today and found out that the ZS curren and TRD model were the only ones that came with the nice tail lights.

The numbers will be posted eventually, so why keep fussing with eachother?

If people say they won't post up the numbers. Well, then you give your opinion and go on your way. I would love to have those numbers personally. and I have said that many times. Going around calling names and crap isn't going to help us find the numbers. Sure it'd be hella easier if one of the people on here would post them up, but it's obviously not going to happen. SO, go search the web for 96-98 Curren ZS and TRD model owners, and ask them to do you a favor.

Kuya dude I don't think you even read my post. I didn't say anything offensive to you!

I was saying that since you created your own stuff, I think its ok for you to not show it off if you don't want to. Read what I wrote again - the whole post was aimed at Supersprynt not you mate. Btw. The 205 Wasn't released in Australia either.


Actually I lie - there were 88 of them released in '95 I think. I think there are only about 20 left.

My bad mate. It just sounded like you were pointing at me because you mentioned me twice and it sounded like you were responding to certain issues that I brought up. My apologies for misunderstanding...

Ok super good enough for me. I'll renege on my previous criticism >>


PEACE!

Just to make a correction, ALL 96+ Currens come with the nice lights, TS, XS and ZS models ;-)

Well, that's not what I was told... but you own one, and live where other people have them,,, so I will believe you. >>

Gotta respect the expert

Jon

mahahaha well im hardly an expert ;-)

but its good that they're on all models, means theres way more tails out there than if it was limited to just ZS and TRD models.
one of my favourite models is the JDM Celica convertible with 3SGE with the nice Curren tails and red or black paint... they look so damn good and not many around either

OK.. here's the story with my avatar...

I'm really big on Aliens. >> So back when I used to play Quake 2, I discovered a model known as "Invader". The character in my avatar is the Stealth Invader, which I thought was really awesome not only because it's an alien, but also because it wore that tite black robe with the letter "R" on the back. Now since my name is Ray, I felt that the model suited me perfectly.

>>

So that's my story and it's too bad that they never made that model for Quake 3, which I play religiously.

-Ray
