6G Celicas Forums

The top pic you just posted there is an Audi A3 sportback? If so it's the same as mine, they are LED's, same as the DRL they have on the latest gen of audis. the light refracts down them, similar concept to the angel lights that BMWs used to have.

But I still think that something like that on the rear would look awesome on a celica

Hi, it is quite fragile paint. It chips easy so you need to be careful putting wheels on/off etc.
It has stood up to the heat of calipers fine, but then so does general automotive spray paint, calipers don't really get that hot in comparison to some things, the whole 'caliper paint' thing is a marketing ploy IMO. I did also do the rocker cover the same colour, that hasn't stood up so well, got a couple of chips, then it has flaked around them.

Calipers are still great though

Ok, I had these refurbished last year by Wefixalloys in Kawasaki green, good finish on them and absolutely no kerbing/chips

Rare to get these wheels in this fitment. They are one piece forged wheels, and weighed in at just 4.7kg per rim without tyres! This makes them a very light, very strong wheel. Great track day wheels, in fact...that is what they were for me
However I also ran them over winter to save my anodised volks from the salt, with that in mind they are currently fitted with Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW3 runflat snow/mud/winter tyres, all of which have approx 2mm above the wear bars. One tyre is worn more on the edges after being run underpressure for a while (doh) but I believe should still be legal. They clear the faff calipers as standard and I used them with 30mm and 20mm spacers to get a real flush look.

Made in Japan and when bought new cost approx £500 per rim!





And on the car






I'm after £650 please. Courier in the UK can be arranged for £30 or if you collect I will knock a tenner off
I will send elsewhere, but you will have to cover the cost obviously

Location: North East, England

Well, my faff is due for splitting/sale in the next couple of months so will give it a final hurrah! Apologies it isn't a new picture, but it is one of my faves!

Cheers chaps

Took a while to get the Ce28 in the right offset etc, and had to import them from Jap land. But they are my pride and joy

However I got the SSR at a bargain price of £150 for all four! needed a refurb, but they are very very light, got an absolute bargain with them!

Stock turbo won't make those figures, you will normally only get 330 out of a stock turbo tops from examples I have seen over the years.

With good mapping on a good ECU you can get 350bhp on stock internals though, just make sure you have plenty of cooling (oil, air and water) mods in place and ensure your fueling is up to scratch.

Before




At present

The wings and bonnet don't make too much difference unfortunately Johny

Aircon is the biggest one, as is losing the failbox for a FMIC.
Light wheels and brakes will make biggest difference to acceleration!

Nice work, prefer the first one with the multiple shots

Another vote for gunmetal.

I also got rid of your high!

Times change, fashions change, viewpoints change. That is just the way of life

If I were doing my celica again it wouldn't look the same this time round!

45100-2B310-CO

According to my parts catalogue however that doesnt look like a normal part number.

You would also need the horn/centre cover too

LHD - 45130-2B270-CO
RHD - 45130-2B290-CO

All the above for non airbag afaik, but check before you buy!

Like!

Think you could have got them brighter?

Holy thread resurrection!

I finally got some shots of mine on the move!
