Must read to initiate grieving status.

The End of an Era

Tonight, i have just been delivered some terrible news.

After selling my car on, which was then passed on again to someone who actually cared about the car... all has come to an end.

My car was involved in an accident (not at fault i must add), resulting in the car being written off, no longer on the road, not repairable... Hits you right in the feels.




This car was what got me into the car scene...
I have met many great friends, learnt a vast amount of knowledge and have hopefully inspired many people to modify their own cars during my progress of my build.

Hopefully my photos will live on, in which i believe to still be the best looking car i have/will own.

I was originally not going to wire them up. They are the most stupid sounding horn ever! I'm not even using the relay with them (makes them louder) and I don't like it luckily I'm not really a horn user.

Getting there...

You'll figure it out. As you said, you can use people cars who actually owns them, but it may come down to their images not being up to quality than one of mine/someone else's has to be made.
Either way, I should be in for a calendar regardless.

I'm still around, just looking these days, not posting.

I'm not overly fussed on my photos being included. Of course i'd love it, but as you said, more benefitting someone who still owns theirs.
In saying that, i know 100% where my car is, who owns it and what they are doing to it...but it comes down to Malpasso and if he needs another High Res photo, in which he already has all mine

Bump. Added a Brightness/Contrast, Masking, Photo Filter, Sharpening post to the Adjustments section on Page 1.

Note: Sorry about image size, lack of celica, and the fact it was a quick throw-together.

too easy than bud, I'll have a flick through this when I get home and see what I come up with

Richee, what are you looking to do? Or just after some more general tips?
I can try pick up some more of it (thanks to this reminder from you) but it would be based on a newer, and mac, version of photoshop.

If anyone is after anything in particular, I can work on a tutorial for you!

Heres a few recents (few weeks ago) if anyone's interested!

Nice work dude!!

Just checking in again...

According to the guide, your best bet is the 9" one. A 5mm spacer won't show too greatly so your better off keeping the spacers to a minimum if you can.

Only concern would be how close the rim will sit to your strut (which you may HAVE to use that 5mm spacer or so)
But if that's all good, get the right tyre specs and you'll be sweet. But personally I think the 'flush look on stock suspension' will look a little off.

This is going to look epic once painted. Rims fit awesome!

Bit of a blast from the past! Going through some old photos, miss this.

I want the Hellas just for the looks, I haven't heard any in person, but I dislike how they sound in videos on YouTube.

De-grille? Haha

Swiss- Its a N15 SSS Nissan Pulsar ... Which I believe is basically the same thing

Couple of new photos/mods:











Specs if anyone's interested:
BC V1 Coilovers, Hardrace Lower Control Arms, Rota Fighters 17x8, Bridgestone S001 tyres

Sorry for such large photos, on my phone

Every 17x8+35 wheel will sit the same. Although some wheel designs curve their spokes outwards, making them look more flush than usuall. You will have to be more aware or scratching them with those types. Other types are concave etc.

But in the end, the edge of the lip of the rim, where the tyre sits, will be the exact same on the same sized wheels.

New plates, badges, rear spacers. Looking better now

17x8 +35 with them tyres would fit absolutely fine. They would sit pretty good too, close to flush, but 'shouldn't' need to roll your guards. The higher the offset number you go the more sucked in they will look. So if you can get them in the +35 I think you would be pretty happy with how they look.

They won't be 'uber' flush, or pokey or stanced, but will fill out nicely.

They won't be flush, they will poke, but should look awesome.
You'll need rolled guards and stretched tyres if your lowered.

I think it would be more beneficial to buy a better low km one and re-mod it. Would nearly work out the same. He's asking more than hat he paid for it

It's actually lower than the celica!!
I'll de-badge it
Colour is pretty cool in the sun.
Pretty sure it would beat a gt-four

I still miss the Celica, but am enjoying this alot more. My celica is back up for sale, I should just buy it back
