So how are those applied? My wheels don't have a lip, per se, so it's tough to visualize doing it...looks good though.

Seeing as my tyres are stretched, I put these on the insides of my wheels. And my lip on the front wasn't big enough, but it's just a bit of plastic on double sides tape, off eBay. It's thicker trim stuff not just the tape.

How do you get that much of a motion effect at such a slow speed? I can't seem to figure it out on my own lol
Clamp your camera to your car somehow. Rig/auction mount. Use a slow shutter speed (10seconds etc) and push the car. smile.gif

Resizing and Graininess is bad, but i like the red lip on the roll smile.gif



This week i'm putting a new clutch in, its starting to slip pretty bad.

Timmy~ What's the offset on your wheels? I'm running 18x9 ET28 front and ET23 rear but the rears are tucked. frown.gif Adding spacers soon, but still.. Yours seem like a perfect fit.
I seen you were running them and was quite confused.
Most of the pictures are:
Fronts: 18x8 +30
Rears: 18x9 +30

I've recently added 5mm spacer to the rear, but in saying that you should still have more poke than me all round. When I had my 18x9 +30 up front, I had too much poke I wouldn't have been able to drive.

Wow, really? That's so weird. I'm adding a 10mm spacer to the rears, so it should be around 18x9 +13.. They'll be slightly past flush.

My fronts are +28 and they poke a bit, but I only rub on huge bumps.
I want 17x9's or 18x9's so bad!

You guys would laugh if you new what my "offset" was right now with how fat of a spacer I am running with these lame wheels (just had them laying around) laugh.gif. I mean, it would be a sick offset if it was on some fatter wheels or without such a big spacer. Main thing I want from bigger wheels though is stretched tires, non stretched tires rub like a mofo.

Yeah, I have 225/40 all around but tbh, I should've went with 215. I could lower her some more with those. frown.gif
Yeah i'm running 225 in the rear and 215 up front. I should deffinately have gone 205 up front, as theres not much stretch at all, which means i can't really go lower or wider with a 5mm spacer.

Nice touch with the red lip, Tim!

Little update,
Recently replaced my clutch, as it was starting to slip worse and worse. Put put an OM Exedy in.

Recently, re done my boot, again, for the 3rd time. haha.
Some things need adjusting but it will do for now, don't mind the hazy iphone pics tongue.gif




In doing this, i added a spare amp i had lying around to my front speakers, and added 2 more to sit in the boot. smile.gif

Love it. Still trying to come up with a design for CelicaChikk's speaker box myself. The idea is to push two 12s and two 10s each with a 12-1800 watt amp. Sounds rediculous but its not. It will be well worth it.

Your car is amazing! Where can i find these splitters and sideskirts? im in need of them! TIA!
Splitters and skirts can be from a local Toyota dealer, or wrecker. Or you an get replicas off here, eBay etc. pretty easy to find the SSIII parts.

Have you thought about getting chrome amber bulbs for your signals and side markers?
