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. smile.gif

Very ricey and not my flavor.

Here's a link to my FB album of my car. It has all of my pics of my silly97.
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2...0238&type=3

Here some things my car had on when I first bought it:

Bone stock performance
7GC GTS Rims
AG Lowering Springs
JDM Tail lights
Stock side skirts
2post spoiler
Rear tinted windows
Window stickers




Here's what I've done to it so far:

Performance
Injen Short Ram Intake


Suspension
Megan Coilovers


Ichiba Spacers 15mm and extended lug studs all around


Eibach Camber Bolt


Fender Rolled All Around



Exterior
3k Hi halogen bulb


8k Lo HiD conversion
3k halogen fog light bulb
Amber turn signal bulb


Clear side lights


TRD Roof Spoiler REPLICA(Hi-C)


OEM SSIII front grill
Tom's Front Lip REPLICA(Zonz540)


Enkei RPF1 17x8 +45Front +35Rear
Nankang NS1 205/40/17



Interior
TRD Shift Boot


SpreeLED White Gauge Lights


GT4 Rear Strut Bar




I do have a set of GT4 splitters that are waiting to be painted.



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

How it looks before:



How it looks now:

mine would've ended up being 280 if it wasn't for that lucky auction. Lol. What kind of muffler is yours anyways? Looks nice.

I'll check tomorrow tongue.gif
Can't remember off my head, but I am pretty sure it's a local Aussie brand (don't hold me to this though)

Finally decided to mount on my 5zigen rims! Will be riding on them until there's a buyer. Lol. Looks nice but I still like my rpf1s better.

I think it would look much better on a dark colored coupe/vert. Lol.

I i believe these wheels would do justice on a dark colored car. Preferably black. Lol. Doesn't look that right on a silver car but it's aight.

FN01s would look a lot better if they had different tires on them that weren't so tall and the car was lower, but when you have the option of running RPF1s.....go with the RPF1s.

Yeap agreed. Would've looked cleaner with either 215/45 or the 205/40. Either way the polished look doesn't look right on my silver. Lol. Trying to sell these 5zigens soon and do a hub conversion.

Hub conversion means no more RPF1 either.....

^Actually I had put that into thought also. I can always run a 5x114 to 5x100 25mm spacer/adapter after the 5x114 conversion and! The rpf1 will sit perfectly flushed. Also I can still ride on stock Celica rims. Since they're all high offsets. smile.gif

To be honest mate if the US is anything like the UK then you'll sometimes struggle to find the right PCD wheels in a half decent fitment.

The issue I found when I had my MR2 which is 5 x 114.3 was that the majority of 5 x 114.3 wheels were on 200sx's, Soarers, Supra's and Skylines so the majority of them are too wide ie 8.5 or 9J

Don't get me wrong 'm not saying don't do it but if you wanted to you could make life easier by getting some alloys from an Impreza or similar then get your 20mm spacers?

That's the reason why I want to do a conversion. I want wider wheels and lower offset for a better fitment.
