6G Celicas Forums

i almost feel as if the one-piece tilt front end is a necessity, considering that not only will it be awesome for shows, but having access to the whole enginebay at the tilt of the hood (it will also be able to be removed) will help in any type of access or work needed to the motor.....

i think i say this do in fact that right now, my front bumper is molded to the finders and if i needed to replace the radiator.... i can't, or if i go get some FI and need a FMIC i can't do that either, unless i cut the front bumper off and re-mold it after any type of engine work was done...... but then something under the hood may break again and i don't wanna have to deal with crap like that........ and so on and so on.......

so yeah..... I basically WANT a one-piece foward-tilt front end !!!

*this conversion will probably take place this winter and it'll be ready for next years show season

(the shop that did that work for my car said they'd do the conversion for right near 2k - that's including all the welding of supports and braces, custom brackets for the headlights, custom hinges, paint, ext)

for those wanting to know the specs, here's a list of all the modifications and goodies done as the celica sits right now......

......and there's still much more to come !!!

well.... i plan on doing a few more extreme mods but before i do those things i want to get myself a few other toys (i need a few waverunners and a street bike - r6, and a sport truck - chevy Z-71)

but yeah..... i wanna do a complete one-piece tilt foward front end (front bumper, fenders, hood, all molded / welded into one piece)

also i am debating on getting a lambo-door conversion kit...... but i almost wanna think that might over do it

.....what's you opinions ??


i also need to get some ICE again especially since i am basically doing the show thing with my celica but i want to get some sponsors to do that for me as well as find a sponsor for a nice set of bigger brakes (BAER, stop tech, AEM)

i've also got a polished "show-cage" getting installed in the next few weeks - it looks bad ass, i just gotta make a 5hr drive to medford oregon to pick it up - i just haven't had the time as of lately



Coomer -

.....where at did you see me at ?? was it at that lowrider show in yakima a few years back ??

if so, ......that was forever ago !!

Vavoline had me throw those graphics on the car for HIN 2 years ago because they need something "flashy" in thir booth, plus i got 2 days stay at a 5 star hotel in seattle as well as free stuff to HIN (passes, shirts, ext.) and also got a years supply of free SYNPOWER oil and engine treatment stuff !!

VIBRANT performance is my main international sponsor right now and i am currently debuting their product lineup for 2000+ celicas this november down in vegas at SEMA. they have so far hooked me up with various interior pieces (pedals, shift knobs, ext.) as well as their first prototype exhaust they made for '00+ celicas

oh yeah.....

for those that may be interested, my old RED/BLACK leather seats are still for sale !!!

i am asking $450.00 firm plus shipping expenses

email if ineterested - djTOY_2000@hotmail.com

well.... i guess natalie's showing off my celica again so i might as well come in here and answer any of the questions you may have regarding my toy

i do have to admit that spending the amount of $$ i have spent on this celica is a little rediculous, but it is like an obsession to me and at least it's been keeping out of what else is out there in this messed up world


but on with answering some questions for ya..........

as far as the stereo i used to have in the celica, it consisted of many components (many were hidden) and please remember that these were all purchased in the early summer of '00 so prices have fallen drastically from what i paid back then

(3) Kicker L7 solobarics
(2) Kicker ZR 250 amps
Kicker ZR1000
Phoenix gold wiring
Phoenix Golg Powercore
Kicker resolution separates frnt & rear
custom fiberglass subwoofer enclosure / amp racks / panels
Alpine CVA 1005 monitor
Alpine DVA 5205 dvd/cd
Optima red top battery

i forget every little item that was in this system, but i know there's got to be more in it. i just can't think of what they are, concidering that all i told the shop to do was make it the best, loudest, awesome stereo you can cram in there....... and after the bill it came to a little over 11k

any other questions or comments are welcome

.......thanks for the props everyone !!
