Today I had a little maintenance on the Celi. Changed the oil and filters. New bushings all around and new rear wheel bearings. Also installed my front strut bar. I painted it myself to white I quite satisfied with the result.

Just like in a proffesional body shop..



And guess what arrived yesterday...



I'll put on the tires ASAP...cant't wait to see them on the Celi.

Lookin great!

Those Lake Balaton pictures are

This one! Looks like a nice trip

And I am very happy you got silver wheels.... But didn't you order gold ones?

New wheels are on...

Niiiiiice! But you need some spacers on the back at least

Thank You Joshua! You were right I ordered them in gold finish but I got another call from the dealer, they only have these on black and silver finish. It was a bit embarrassing, but now I see them fitted and I think they looks well!

A picture from the front:



The old wheels were 7.5x17 ET32, these are 8x17 ET45, I thinking of 20 mm spacers, would it fit right?

Some new pics...

I've never posted my engine bay, so... nothing special just a poor 7AFE, strut bar, trd oil cap and trd radiator cap. It runs well, just a bit low on power.




Some autumn pics...

Hello Everybody! Haven't been here a while. Nothing minor changes because I didn't had much time for the Celi. It almost has 300k km in the clock, next year she will be 20 years old, and the car drives fine. Only had to change the rear brake discs and pads, and the coilovers, also had to change the windshield because I hit a huge pothole about 120km/h and the glass cracked.

On this summer one of my friends came to my help and painted the rims white, the lips left to machined. I love white on white. I also ordered a set of volk lug nuts i like them very much. Still need spacer or new set of wheels...









Almost forget I had my wedding this summer and guess what was the bride's car:





And some autumn pictures:









There are some future plans for the winter:

-TRD rear splitters
-facelift front bumber and SS-III lips
-SPREE led kit
-upholster my OMP steering wheel
-spacers or another set of wheels

I'm not sure in this mods and not sure to invest more to the Celi, I'm thinking to get an MR2 SW20 turbo as a new toy. This going to be a long winter...

wow! white on white. looks great.
you've done a great job keeping it clean.

oh and congrats on the wedding.

The Celica looks nice. If you can afford it, go for the second RWD car - it is a great luxury. FWD for relaxed DD'ing, RWD fun when you want it.

Hi mates! I had to update my progression. This year a refurbished the steering wheel and scored a set of new wheels.



I bought a set of Rays Volk Racing C-Ultras. I always loved the three spoke desing. After a good polish and some gunmetal finish they look just as new. Can't believe these wheels have been made in 1995, in the same year as the car.
Added new 215/40r17 tires and 25mm spacers all around and here is the result...

I absolutely love it!
