6G Celicas Forums

Ok....sooo....I know it's a bit late for me to start it but might as well do it now. Lol. I bought my 1997 Toyota Celica GT for $4,500 on February 27, 2012. It had 175,000 miles on the cluster. It was in very good condition. The only problem I had on it was it had a CEL light on. Which was just the speed sensor in the cluster not working. Replaced that and the CEL was cleared. Also my car didn't pass emissions test but I eventually had that fixed after running on premium and Lucas Cleaner. Overall I was more than happy to pay the overpriced $4500.

The rest of my plans for my car is to get it repainted and installed with the gt4 splitters. I want to go wit the Supra Limited Edition Silver code 1B9. I also want to get a custom exhaust. I really want the JDM projectors also. We will see what else will be added onto my list as days goes by. Lol. Also I'm planning to keep my silly FOREVER!!! XD

Finally. The axle is finally replaced! Just need to fill up the tranny oil but since its so tight on there. I can't seem to get it off so ima take it in to get it serviced.

A long 24mm or 15/16" socket with a 1/2" ratchet should do it for the fill plug. Drain plug will require a short one.

PB Blaster and a soldering iron are your friend.

Lol. I tried like every trick in the book. Its just in an ugly ass angle and can't get a good leverage. Everytime I get good leverage. It'll just keep slipping. Tired of messing with it for an hour today and the last two times I tried.

Updated pics of my car.


That ass is mine!


It had bad lighting and couldn't fix the lighting so I decided to do this to it. Lol.


Sexiness!!!


China Alley!


Loving my projectors. ;P


meh.

TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH! GAH!!!

Yea. I've been too lazy to go out and take pics. Lol. I'm planning on taking some more in a couple weeks when I slam it. Since my camera battery died after the first shot I took today. So all these were taken with my phone. Lol.

Going lower eh? Hehehe. Make sure you get it aligned, you're going to have some serious toe out when the control arms start going past middle and the subframe sits lower lol. Most awkward feeling in the world

Which coilovers will you be going with?

He's already on Megans


Looking good, Silly! I just have one comment and that is the tire size. It's just slightly, SLIGHTLY too small IMO. What are you using?

I thought he was a she all this time... Oh well.

Damn... immediately post also here http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=89729 . Do not forget you promised that . Great pictures.

I'm actually only going to go slammed temporarily for the bay area meet only. After that ima raise it back up to what I have now. I can't have a DD slammed. Lol. Can't afford all that suspension wear.



I know.....i first had 225/45 which was too fat so I couldn't go low. Then I went with what I have now which is 205/40 and its too skinny. So I'm just waiting til my tires get eatened up or get my 225/45 sold so I can get a set of 215/45. Would be a much nicer fit.



sadly these are bad quality pics. I rather post up pics that I take with my digital camera than these which I took with my phone. Lol.

Looking sweet buddy

Are the rear spats genuine or reps?

They're genuine but some reason they don't fit flush. Might be warped. That's why I have abs plastic. Lol.

Hey is this the gap??

Yea that's the gap. From what I've been told. It should fit perfectly but it doesn't.

Maybe they're meant for the coupe. That or if they're for the hatchback and genuine Toyota I'd look at the possibility of someone having put on an aftermarket rear bumper cover. Either way, nothing Bondo won't fix.

yeah, if it's that big of a gap, I reckon it's the coupe/curren splitters.

It MIGHT be the Currens like everyone is saying. Mine just from test fitting fit perfectly.

Do you have the rubber strips on the wheel arches in place? Could be that, if you don't.
