haha believe me.
I've considered it a lot.
I don't think I'd get nearly what I paid for the car if I sold it though.
I've had it up for sale for a bit and had absolutely no response on it.

Damn. i just got lucky i guess.. The GT4 is just a whole new car. it's ridiculous. You lose a bit of your gas mileage for something so much more. Replacing parts WILL be a bit more of a hassle than our USDM counterparts but its still just a couple days difference cause of shipping. But i definitely love mine. Kinda sucks though since im in university and it gets kinda costly paying for a car and university at the same time
Yea, i paid way too much for my car, because i didn't really know anything about it at the time, or what it was worth.
If I would have known I could have gotten a gt four for not much more, i definately would have done that.
But I guess you live and learn.
But the whole VIU thing kinda turns me away from bringing one over, and the fact that all of my friends with jdm/rhd/turbo'd cars have had nothing but problems with them.
Either they run like ****, or have a hell of a time trying to find parts.

Cars back on the road again.
That weird revving problem that started a year ago and took me on a wild ride through numerous parts, turned out to be the distributor like some had said.
Thanks to Stephen_lee for selling me his used distributor, saved me quite a bit of money, toyota wanted like 500 bucks for a new one.

Thanks guys!

Didn't really know what I was doing so I just threw it on auto haha.
Some are pretty dark, put osme turned out pretty good IMO.
Car is in need of a good wash/clay bar/wax, which I might get around to this weekend depending on the weather.
Any tips/opinions welcome.
Looks like some kinda torture rollercoaster

It would probably be a lot easier to tell if I had a better camera lol

What wheels are those if you don't mind me asking?
They're MSR 0457 18x8 +35
I recently realized they look similar to BBS LM's without a step lip, not sure if they are suppose to be replicas or what but they have the similar spoke style.

get honda s2000 stub antenna so your car doesnt like like a remote control car anymore. Maybe wrap the riser blocks in C/F. this is one beautiful celica though, they rims sit nice. One question though, does the car feel kinda strange on those rims? Meaning does it seem slower acceleration and loss of handling or on the contrary. I have heard of some people putting too large of rims on 7th gens and losing a **** ton of handling. all and all sweet ride
Thanks man I apprecaite it. I feel like my car isn't special cause all the cars I roll around with are RHD, trubo'd, or SLAMMED lol.
I've thought about wrapping in carbon Fibre, but I'm not really a fan of the vinyl wrap on the exterior, and I think I would do a poor job of making it look nice, so Im probably just going to leave it for now.
I'm pretty happy with how it is right now though, although it coudl use some sideskirts, but can't really afford (or find them haha) right now. I've also thought of doing the s2000 antenna but kind of got sidetracked haha. I think to keep it simple, I would just unplug the motor to the antenna or something to keep it down, because I don't really use the radio, so that sort of solves the problem.
As for the wheel thing, I didn't really notice much of a difference at all. I drove on the stocks about a month ago and when I switched over to the 18's again i didn't notice much change at all, but it could have something to do with the width as well.
Thanks for the compliments!

yea no problem. Thats what I ended up doing was just undo the motor to it. Man I wish I had a less rusted out celica. Damn north east.
Yea these cars are really bad for rust, I got really lucky when I bought mine as it has none at all.
There's a little bit of rust on the bottom of the doors on the inside, and a little spot near the wind shield but thats about it.

I like what you did to your car. It has inspired me to start a thread of my own in case I start and continue with my project car.

^ Thanks man.
Just got my Poly Urethane Rear Sway Bar bushings from Energy Suspension.
Just gotta find some time to put them in.
Side note:
-Another Local Meet

Blacked out the front and rear emblems using Plasti-dip to follow suit with the black/red theme I got going on.
Not sure about the rear yet, I wanted to debadge everything but the toyota, but I think there would be outlines from scratches in the clear and whatnot, and its more work than I want to put in to make it look like nothing was there, so I may just keep it like this for now.
Less talk, More pics.

Looks sweet dude!! I was considering doing it also, but ran out of plasti dip now
You need some black zip ties for your front grill too

hahaha Yes, you're right I definately do.
Just haven't had time to get around to it due to exams and such, but now...
I"M DONE! I'M FREE!!
Haha, i ahve a list of things built up from the last two weeks that I want to get done, on the car and other stuff.
So maybe that'll fit in there as well cause its an easy task.
First on the list is sway bar bushings, was going to tackle it today but ran out of time.
-Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load.1995 Toyota Celica GTS-Daily Driver1999 Chevy Cavalier-Winter Beater1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback-DeadMy Celica!
Well I got the Sway bar bushings in today.
Seems to have tightened up the rear a bit, and definately has reduced the body roll.
going over bumpy corners where my car would rub at high speeds, no longer rub anymore.
And most importantly they got rid of the clunking that soudned like blown struts in the rear.

Glad to hear they help, did you get the 17.5mm non-greasable ones?
This post has been edited by jcbass7: May 2, 2012 - 4:12 PM
I went with 16mm non greasable.
I read on here that some were using 16 and some were using 17.
Decided to go with the 16 because I didn't want the 17 to be a little two large, and stilll have the clunking sound because the stock ones only had a tiny bit of play.
atok also had 16mm
16's had the slightest gap where they were cut, maybe a mm or 2, but they fit.

No, Hydraulics Bro!
lol just kidding.
I put leds under the dash and in the vents a couple years ago.
Dont really use them much anymore, and probably wouldn't take the time to put them in another car, but also not going to spend the time to take them out haha.
