6G Celicas Forums

No Im saying, if it snows where yo live, why would you drive a car thats slammed with nice rims? Seems like a no brainer to me.

cars are meant to be driven personally i'm not a fan of cars that are only for shows or best conditions driving, it sorta defeats the object of it being a car

I guess so.

you do have to raise your car if you don't want to do #2 which is not a good idea if you want to keep your car in good original condition, its a sacrifice. it will weaken your fender. I know we have wide fenders but they are not to accomodate wide wheels without modding like a rear wheel drive vehicle.

This is more for looks and is not practical in anyway for your daily driver celicas. i don't think anyone here is doing time attacks or drifting i believe to need it that super flush. you can do autocross with up to 8.5 which is enough. its a good idea to give good advice or opinions but also note the pros and cons.

if this wasnt the case, then everyone would be flush on this site. its just not practical. but its your car, so thats all up to you. many things will start to wear out fast.

@ trd: I think you are making excuses as to why YOU don't want to do it. That is how I am reading your replies.



Rolling your fenders does little to practicality or the flexibility of your fender. Cutting them does weaken them, if you roll them a bit you still have that support. I daily my car, it is the only car I have. I take it on gravel/dirt when I head to mountain biking places. I stuff 4 fixies in the trunk with 4 riders when I go to races. I put golf clubs, lacrosse goals/equipment for practice, etc...

of course, all fads are not practical. OEM is practical, anything after that is unnecessary and for style.

Dude our cars are front wheel drive, not necessary to be super flush. My car is well over 3" drop. I have no excuses I have dropped over 30000 in parts and restoration into the celica with no issues no loans, straight up paid. Its not a money thing nor a preference thing. BTW rolling them does make it weaker when you roll them it loses its horizontal support. You could say whatever you want in this forum, you seem to be a cocky guy more of "its my style, this is how I like it, its cool, i got balls" when actually this site is suppose to be informative for the everyone. Stop trying to convince people, just becus they are giving you attention about your tucked car. Do you have any idea how many parts you will wear out or parts you will break by going that low and you did not say anything about consequences? I'd suggest you start helping people instead of promoting your personal ignorance.

Who cares if our cars are FWD. The OP asked for flushed Celicas and to post pics, so shut the hell up and keep to the OP. Harold and I have flushed celicas and we posted pics.

Daily, Track, or Garage Queens, Snow, Sun, Rain or Shine, if you dont have a flushed celica or have no plans on doing it stay out of this thread.

Easy as that.......some 2 cents just need to stay in the coin jar

/

i second that

this is a forum where discussions are supposed to be made, arguments for and against. the OP title is "Any Flushed out celicas out there ????" 2 people (the only 2 who i've seen on these forums) who have been brave enough to do it have posted their pics and everyone else has said why there are not that many others out there. why then let the thread just die? why not carry on the discussion with pro's and con's? this isn't a "reserved for" forum it's a public forum, people should be able to post what they want in this thread as long as its kept on topic which so far it has.

one other point, in the UK 808's car would be illegal due to the amount the wheels stick out of the arches, wheels should be within the arch, Harold's looks like it would be fine though.

FWD, RWD, AWD, Golf Cart, Scooter, who cares. People mod their cars for their own style. Some of us like the flushed look. Spending 30,000 on your car is your purgative, I beat the **** out of mine. Therefore, I won't dump that cash. Do I know what parts I will wear out? I sure do, hence why I replaced most of them before giving my car its stance. I know this car inside and out, I wrench on it all the time and have for many years.

Not helping this community? I wrote a thread on flush wheel fitment and adapters. I reply to PM's all the time about what is needed to fit a wheel properly and I reply in other people's threads about wheel fitment. I stay out of sections I don't have answers to.

Stop reading replies to your posts as hate mail. You are making statements and I am giving you my rebuttal. That is how life works. I am not here because I need my ego stroked or people to drool over my car. It is what it is, not everyone will like it and I don't honestly care. It is clean and how I want it. I post pictures so people can see what can be done.

For the record: There is no real reason any car, ever needs to have flush wheels, stretched tires and no wheel gap. But it is our style and what we want.

3rd. I want to see full shots now.





If I where to take my camber back to 0 it would stick out of the fenders. 808 just needs to make some negative camber adjustments and he will be good to go.

i second that Tom, pros and cons is all what informative forums are about, people are here to learn, i stayed on topic and answered the question why there are not that many. The biggest question so far of why there is not so many because its not practical. and that leaves us with why there is only two so I think I did my part of answering these forums instead of acting like this is a reserved forum, again this is a not a reserved forum its a public forum to share information good bad pros cons why and why not. if it weren't for me, no one would have noticed the consequences, based of the pics cut fenders, sloppy camber, abnormal tire wear, wearing suspension, the list goes on, but at least now its pointed out for some of the novice enthusiasts here. By all means its all your cars, what choices you've done is fair to us as its yours but don't let promote others by showing pics ONLY when you don't even mention what it does to your cars or what to expect or how to correct them. When you can make others prevent any mistakes and make good choices I always thought thats what this site is for. if everyone did their own thing to learn and mess up on their own, this site is not needed to begin with, we are trying to learn from everyone else here. you guys' version of sticking to the topic is literally the exact topic words when it can even be related to the topic and make sense enough to make informative discussions. Alot of people fail because of thinking literal. I'm taking this personally because of the "you" emphasis on me when I think I was more informative than your pics without cons explanation. Honestly, we did stay on topic, you guys did your part on the flush pics but I fulfilled your half by explaining the why theres not so many and I get picked on, no F*ck that. From now on everyone should just show pics and say do this or do that cus it looks good, and don't bother to mention from now on what cons it brings, I don't even wanna hear anything about cons to a car or whats bad for your car since its not allowed. Hows that sound, doesn't sound like an informative site anymore right, everything has a cause and effect? Noone better even try to counter argue with something weaker because its clear whats going on. Your words are pointless, i was trying to help by adding what you haven't done or said for everyone else. you can't keep on saying its my car, i don't care, its just pics, when what you post might affect what it does to others cars and are you going to pay for any problems or reimbursements or are you even going to feel guilty that you didn't tell them what the effects are and the mistake is already been spent or done? I don't think so, so please post also on a professional thinking level. If I'm wrong about all this, mods please say so.

I wish you flushy chaps could see the roads I drive on daily to get to work!!!!!!

Im not sure if i like the flushed look on a Celica to be honest. I'd prefer well offset rims and a sensible drop. Just my opinion.

A question to you though, how is your steering affected? Has your turn in/turning radius changed much?

Cheers

OMG 808, your car is GORGEOUS!!!!
I want mine EXACTLY like yours with the Jdm projectors
