Hello guys! I'm new here and just got my first celica about a month ago, it belonged to a member here, and we swapped cars.

anyway, just a quick post to show you lot what I've been up too. done a few things to it since I got it.

here's the car when I first got it.



and here's how it is now.



not to everyone's taste but im quite happy with the way things are going with it.

I want to sell these alloys and Get another set (not really my taste to be honest) and also sold my mongoose exhaust system
and going this Wednesday to pick u a 5zigen including Decat.

Last week I also sprayed the Rear plate holder panel







Comments Are welcome

Y'know, I like the way it was before but I also like the yellow touches, and the black panel is almost mandatory on a white or silver Celica. Widens the rear, visually.

Fair enough, I prefer the way it is now.. buying gt4 side skirts and Looking for a front lip as well. spray it all in black. should look good.

and ye, I wanted a Carbon fiber one lol but nothing on ebay, so just sprayed it in Black.

Yeah did that, and the three plugs too, somethings holding it on pretty solid near the lock carrier, stupid rusty screws!

Yeah when you get stuck and figure out how to use the search thing properly its quite cool. Its pretty US based but a few of them seem really helpful

Cool, I'll try ripping it out tonight, got the bolts and plugs out ok, it just wont come off at the top, all or nothing now i suppose

My mate has an import and its quick although I hate the way they look he seems to love it, I'm a Toyota fan boy myself so I officially hate your Honda side

You have got an ace motor there tho

love the yellow. I did it to mine too but I don't have fog lights so there's no yellow down there. maybe in the future.
rear turned out nice too. like ferdi said looks great on white/silver celis.

Looks familiar

I'm inclined to say remove the sunstrip (replace with a smaller black one)
I'm not a fan of the tint on the headlights but the black rear panel looks good. There's a guy on CCUK who sells carbon fibre ones they're not cheap though

The rest looks awesome (I wonder why)

I like the look of the teal sunstrip. Reminds me of the Spoon cars

Ye, I think it turned out quite good, also got some hid's so they look pretty good when on. (thats my opinion a least)



and yeah, just don't like the exhaust.. it sounds good but not my cup of tea.. Can't wait to get my hands on that 5Zigen!!

Haha Hello again Dude nahh man, sunstrip looks good in my opinion, like TIGAWOODS said, reminds you off Spoon Tuned cars!

about the Carbon Fibre, how much are they? Around £100-£200?

and ye.. car is awesome! loving it.. done the CV Joint and new windscreen last week.

Going through MOT this week.

^Your car seems to have turned into a pile of crap! Nah just kidding, nah really I hate Honda.

I like the black license plate surround, I've thought about doing such myself. The real question is, why did sr666 abandon us?

They're not as nicely made as the Toyotas are, build quality and materials wise. Not to say they're garbage, as they're in line with other cars of the times. But to match the quality of the Celica you have to go to the Acura Integra, and even then the Celica is still a higher quality vehicle. Honda/Acura as cars are ok I suppose, as I'd consider owning an Integra or Legend. It's the owners I really have a problem with, the mass majority are punk ass kids that watched Fast & the Furious once too many times.

I didn't I'm still here and I'm still 3S-GE powered too what more do you want LOL

She running ok then now buddy?

Told you she was a good car didn't I

Box the reasons mainly were I cracked the windscreen hugely and couldn't afford a replacement, So when a MR2 came up for Swap and I've wanted one for 6 years it wasn't something I could say no to

Oh by the way Spoon = Honda we're TRD babyyyy

I don't blame you, just giving you a hard time because I can. I'm pondering the possibility of buying another car myself.
