Hi,

just want to show my Celica to everyone here, so I can get comments, impulses and feedback on my car!

It's a at200, 1,8L with 116hk in other words.
1998 model, I got it for my birthday last year, in 2006, and I'm always eager to do something with it, to make it look better.

It goes in Trondheim, Norway.

Pictures from the seller, the ones I saw on the net before i bought:

The first thing I did was to rub it down, and polish it. It made it better, but it is some damages on it that I can't fix with wax-products

Then I put in a stereo! Mountet the front speakers in the original holes, and made a new rack in MDF.

The soundsystem sounds very well, clean and loud, the SUB helps it go deep and neat in the bad gangsta-songs

Front: Infinity Kappa
Back: Infinity Kappa 6x9 ( Three way? )
Sub: Rockford Fosgate HE 12"
Amplifiers: 1x Alpine Audio 2007 digital 300W, and 1x Alpine Audio 2007 digial 760W.
Tuner: A fancy panasonic I don't have the name of, maybe anyone know? Touch-screen and real charming

It is all wired up with ' the best ' cables, as my friend called it. I don't really know much about it...



Here is two pics that may show how much I helped the paint show off;





It's a bit dark, but that's life in a Norwegian winter

Then, this spring I got my hand on some new rims. Momo GTR 17", loved them on the car ! I also bought clear side-markers from my local Toyota-dealer.



Here is one of the big damages in the body



-----



Me and a friend of mines jap-cars




The last thing I've done, was to paint my brakes, and inner part of the discs, because they got real rust-brown during the winter. The friggin' state spreads salt in the road in the winter, so it eats my car

Painted the calypters red, and the inner-discs black. It became a nice detail. I also installed blue diods in my instrument-cluster. Will make it better later...

And btw, I replaced the original bulbs in front with xenonmatch-bulbs. So now it lights 'xenonwhite/blue' insted of the kinda boring yellow-ish original.





















Enjoy, and please leave comments / give me impulses on what to do.

I'm getting it re-sprayed and fixed, so it will be 100% looking. I also am saving money for a SS-III-styling-set. The splitters and skirts. JDM-tails will come

nice looking car, thouse momo rims look good on the car. Whats the antenna on the passanger side rear window for??

>

If you can see in the first pics, there is a mobile-phone-thingy by the stereo... I think it is in connection with that, but I have of course removed the telephone-handsfree-crap. But the antenna is drilled through the window........ I will remove it, and fix it when i tint my windows later... It annoys me sooo much

looks nice n' clean! love the blue leds in the dash. those hard to put in?

those Momos are really good

>

No, not really. I ordered som blue diods from the net, and it was just to replace them with the original bulbs. Pretty easy, iow. Read the how-to's on this page, that is the ones that made me do it

>

Thanks! I totally agree. Maybe they will stand out even more when I lower the car a coupple of inches.

sweet looking ride, just a suggestion with that colour of yours why not try something other than the ss-iii exterior? you can make your car looking like a show car and you've already got the colour to do so.

maybe a little steady hand with the camera will take better pics. what d.cam are you using? -R

>


Do you have any suggestions on kit? I'm not really a fan of this great, extreme kits. Like it nice and sleek.

Yeah, I know some of the pix are real ****ty, because I took them with my mobile-phone in the winter. Damn cold, and shakey hand ;p

Got my hand on another digitcam lately, the one I took the last pics with. A Nikon ' Coolpix 885 ' , not a very sick camera, but i satisfies my needs.

i love the color.

Do you have springs? I looks like you dont? I'd go for like a 1 inch drop. I like those rims

Nah, no springs. Will buy as soon as I've got the paint og looks as I want it.

One shiny celica! Your night pics suck

Looks great, lots of hard work with the wax

I love the colour and wheels.

>

heheh, I know. Took them with my mobilecam as said... Kind'a good cam, but didn't have the conf. going on. But have got a better cam, as you may see in the last pix.

>

Yeah, waxing made me feel like I've given handjobs to my whole neighbourhood

Tnx for the compliments boys ! Good to get feedback, makes me eager for more.

Can't wait til' it's re-sprayed and the bodykit is getting on.

hahahahahaha handjobs to the whole neighboorhood that made me giggle, and i rarely giggle i applaud you good sir

Nice rims, they look really good on your car, but I'd think they wouldn't look good otherwise. Nice choice! Very clean!

Also, I'm actually thinking about visiting Norway soon, how is it there?

>

The weather-forecast says we will get the nicest summer in ages!! It have been alot of terrific weather, so if you're into sightseeing, this is the summer to go for Nevertheless, I feel that norwegians most are very social and nice to tourist, and the partynights in the big cities are social and very... drunkalicious Vikings, see?

Tonight I installed a colour-filter one my LCD-watch. So now it shines blue, like my cluster, and cd-player.

I'm pleased with the result.

>

wow , thas the exact colour i would like my watch to be , i used a simple trick : a tick tack box but it tuned out a bit baby bluish rather than deep blue , how did you do yours ???

I used the kind of filter they use in theatre and on stages during shows etc. I know a guy working with that kind of things, and he hooked me up!

I washed my car, and met a dude that's kinda skilled with the camera. Heres one of the shots, I'm totally impressed with his skills



Heres the full-version : http://ma.rtin.no/peter/random/IMG_1070.jpg

... and I totally need a lowering, yes I know

i love the color! drop & some projectors would be amazing!

>

Yeah, I'm gonna drop here, and I love the projectors, but haven't got my hands on them yet... also I have a paintjob coming up, plus styling... so it comes when the money arrives

About the colour, It's okay, but nothing more than that... I suppose you get tired of your underwear after a couple of days, right... But I plan of dropping pearls in the paint, before the clear-coat... Don't know how it will look, but sound kind of neat.

What you guys think about the pearl-idea?

Good for you and your gf ^_^

It's a start

This is one of the details I personally LOVE about the JDMs, vs. euro, when you take a look at it from one of the sides.....
