[playr158]

THE SUPRICA FILES (aka the build)

here is how she stands right now!
with 90% of the work done
but to my demise
the front bumper/ fenders are goin in the trash or to my friend
for a swap to SUPRA TS front bumper, celica Z3 fenders, 7thgen INVADER rear






the shaved side triangles ^^^ those ugly things gone

note the shaved rear license plate ^^^
also antenna is gone and rear wiper


button! and unused switches to be used

ooo blue clock!

ooo ice burg for gauges!

HERE ARE SUM NIGHT PICS to get an idea of the light
but they are angled really low and need to be angled up more






get over the date bein there i'm too tired to take it off right now

[lagos]

nice job.... thats starting to look a lot better then i thought it would...keep it up!

[Coomer]

Sweet! Nice progress!

Have any Supra owners made fun of you yet?

[My94RedCelica]

WOW, that's quite impressive. It's looking really nice. Can't wait to see what it's like when you finish.

[erics1one]

Looks better than a lot of other conversions out there, good job. Can't wait to see the smooth final product.

Are you gonna leave the plate like that?

[shin]

wow.... nice..... how does the 7th gen invader rear looks like though??? do you intend to stay wingless? thought of doing a supra tailight swap?

[playr158]

Sweet! Nice progress!

Have any Supra owners made fun of you yet?
[right][snapback]260653[/snapback][/right]

nope i even asked if i could go in their group to a meet they were totally chill about it

wow.... nice..... how does the 7th gen invader rear looks like though??? do you intend to stay wingless? thought of doing a supra tailight swap?
[right][snapback]260656[/snapback][/right]

rear invader looks good and its a great rear for a dual exhaust for show!
yes i'm staying wingless of course! CF hatch is on the way!

thought about supra tails
but i wanna keep part of it celica so i'm doing JDM tails!


and no i'm not goin to leave the plate like that there will be a spot w/a light for it on the 7th gen rear thats just temp

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

looks really awesome. cant wait to see the final results.

[presure2]

progress look ssweet so far man, ambitius project to say the least...looks like more work is needed around the headlights and such, but man..once its done thats gonna be cool.

[playr158]

yea work around the headlights is a big thing but i'm not workin on it anymore since i'm getting the supra front

[shid]

Actually looking pretty good.. looks like the front bumper needs some work where the headlights used to be (still goes up) but you're getting rid of that front anyway.

BTW, Just call it the Celica Supra Mk II

[Coomer]

So is this the front bumper that you're getting?

[Digndoug]

Id just like to see it how its going to be, sence your going to trash what you have done.

Also what you going to do about the hood? the lines and such for the lights?

[Coomer]

Oh, by the way, how is visibility with those lights? Has it improved a lot?

[Ralph96gt]

can anyone say "future featured ride"?????

[Jen]

Yeah, that definitely looks better than I thought it would. Very very very nice. I'm impressed.

[Akimbo]

Wow very suprised man. I have to give you props. I am not a fan of conversions, but I really like that. That should say something

[celicaboy04]

Very envious of your fiberglassing abilities player. I hate working with the stuff, and only do so when I have to...You did a damn fine job modifying that bumper and that sureee takes a lot of patience, time, and determination.

Good work.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

I give you definite props on it but im just not too keen on it! Maybe when its all finished ill like it more. I do like the supra headlight conversion! as paris would say "THATS HOT" :-)


but major props though for going out and doing ur own thing!

[Fietsbel]

Awesome

[playr158]

Id just like to see it how its going to be, sence your going to trash what you have done.

Also what you going to do about the hood? the lines and such for the lights?
[right][snapback]260680[/snapback][/right]

the lines really arn't a big deal right now so i'm leaving it alone the hood is REALLY hard to work with i think i'm goin to have a custom F/G hood made when i have the cash and wrap it in CF

Oh, by the way, how is visibility with those lights? Has it improved a lot?
[right][snapback]260681[/snapback][/right]

the visibility is good i have a few angle issues to work out they are tilted to far down

can anyone say "future featured ride"?????
[right][snapback]260695[/snapback][/right]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! once i do my 7afte shooting for a dream of 200-250 hp
yea coomer thats the front i'm goin to use i think its hot and a lot of supras have them but then again i'm not a supra i'm special
thanks for the great reviews guys i really appreciate it!
we'll see how things pan out cause the front/fenders/rear bumper are goin to run me 536$ to get so it will be awhile that i'm sporting this front so i'll clean it up a bit maybe a gt4 bumper scoop we'll just have to see


MORE PICTURES ADDED!

No prob man thats what im there for. Its onyl going to make you better.

Being an architecture major you hear so much negative feedback.. but it only makes you better.

I give you mad props for doing it, and not giving up. custom molding and glassing is not easy and takes skill. Just keep working im sure it will come out great.

[SinisterWhisper]

Hmm its alotta work and i give you props for it but i think supra tails look better on it especialy since your going to all the trouble of doing the front. Thankfully your ditching the fenders and bumper but i wish you would ditch the scoop. If your gonna make it a baby supra might as well looke that part

its not something i would do (i like the 4 head light look) but you have done a marvelous job even if its not to my liking

[calicelica]

a supra is a supra
a celica is a celica
everybody wanna race u and yer going 2 b celica slow
buy a supra

[playr158]

they might wanna race me but i won't do it
gave up on racing so they can suck my tail pipe and deal with being the faster but UGLY car

i mean we hangout at mcdonalds/burgerking parking lot here for race nights
how fast can you go in there? 5mph

damn straight i can keep up to that lol

nah supra tails are a no i still want the tails to be 6th gen celica
to keep some of its identity
but now i'm thinking about the supra trial rear bumper soo hot but 900-1500$ for it blah

oh well

oh and that vent? it HELPs a ton you stick your hand over it and soo much heat just pours out

[Exile04]

good job... i dont know to me it looks liek the lights are to big but it might just be because its not finished, but good job

[afroman]

man that thing really is coming along, looks great. i was just wondering how you got the lights to attach. did you make custom brackets or did they some how use the exsiting mounts. just wonder but it looks f'in sweet.

[right][snapback]261020[/snapback][/right]

Haha...I feel you on this. People wanted me to do Supra front end to complete that Supra look but I didn't because I wanted a part of it to be a celica. Thats why I went JDM Anywayz, nice job on the conversion. Its Wayyy better than that white celica that was on ebay couple years back.

[Supersprynt]

[right][snapback]260987[/snapback][/right]

[SinisterWhisper]

I know the vent helps get ride of alot of heat thats why its on the gt4's both 205 and 185's but im saying as far as the asthetics go it detracts from your supra image

[playr158]

yea ihear that oreo!

i made custom brackets for the headlights to make them work

[Jaws4God]

that is great work!!! now i just wish someone could make this for those of us who don't have the ability to.

[Dee-No]

a supra is a supra
a celica is a celica

[right][snapback]260987[/snapback][/right]

i totally agree... that's just nonsense.
Respect to the work but I don't like it

[playr158]

no one will make these thats the point unless you do it yourself
which makes me happy cause not many people here are willing to go to the lengths that a job like this takes

which makes me even happier cause i stay unique and the only 6gc with supra headlights

[Supersprynt]

Yeah thats just a really stupid comment. "Buy a Supra if you want a Supra" jesus whats the whole point in making it CUSTOM.

Props to Playr.

[popstar]

hey fella that looks just awsome

i really like that alot, what rear you gonna put on it, what spoiler....
you need one to balance the nose >>>???

the fenders are the dogs B$^&((*& i want them, what are they ?costom ? where did you get them mate please ?????

[playr158]

yea if i want a supra i'll go buy one but i don't want a supra right now i like my celica i just want one thats a lil different from the rest of you

[right][snapback]262136[/snapback][/right]

the rear? well i want a supra trial rear but that cost 1000$ USD
spoiler?>!?! OH HELL NO NO SPOILER------CARBONFIBER HATCH totally shaved rear

as for the front there is already one on there its white in the night pics i think its there at least lol

fenders are from Cyberbestbuy.com
z3 style but i shaved the stupid side triangle vents

oh and i'm still debating on if i should use a supra front i think i'm goin to stick with my invader front for now until i get the back squared away

[blu94gt]

[right][snapback]261971[/snapback][/right]

No, it's a perfectly good comment. I'm relatively new here but I think that when you try to make one car look like another, in a situation like this, it's called RICE. Like guys with Civics who put Integra front ends on their cars, just buy a ****ing Integra! I give props to the custom work because I know that it's very tedious and hard work, and hard to make good. But when someone says CUSTOM that means COMPLETELY DESIGNED FROM SCRATCH not trying to make it look like something it's not. 6th generation Celica's look great on their own, I know more people who would flame his car than praise it.

Good job on the body work tho, I would have just done something completely different

dude shut up he wants to keep his celica and have supra headlights get over it... now if he put supra taillights on it then its getting to be rice but since he likes the look of one over the other then good for him

[DamDirtyApes]

the way i look at it is, what does it matter what we think of his car, hes doing this for himself, not to impress some kids on a webpage... dont bash him

i say keep up the custom work, its a pretty sweet idea

[playr158]

[right][snapback]262367[/snapback][/right]

thanks....yea its actually 20% for me now.....
70% of me doing this is for the future "me"
i remember riding in my parents car seeing someone with a modified car go past and think "wow thats awesome i really want one of those and to have sumthing that great" well now i'm living it out doing sumthing for my childhood me so that there will be more childhood dreams that progress into realities! thats what i love about this and then 10% is for everyone else who can't do what i'm doin

ok civic-integ conversion not really rice? i know people with it i don't think its rice? now if you switch EVERYTHING over headlights, tails, bumpers, ect... then your pushing the rice limit with your park bench ontop of your hatch

for my car umm 99% people like it 1% don't ha fine i don't give a damn if you like it or not take it for what you want

but i'm staying true to what my car is by calling it a celica with supra headlights
and KEEPING the celica taillights this my friend creates an artistic balance between "i wish i had that car so i'll make mine look like it" and "i'm goin to standout in my own catagory away from you and be unique"

oh and "custom" doesn't mean from scratch

just go look at hot rods they are ALL custom but have stock chassis? or a custom bike that has a HD softtail frame? it doesn't have to be 100% ground up to be custom> in this community custom could be shaving a door handle and thats a "custom door" or if i make another gt4 bumper vent and mold it to a invader kit
that makes a "custom front bumper" its changing the original design to suit your liking thats what makes custom.. not "i drew these headlights out on paper spent 2000$ having them made then i plastered them to my car"
yea thats custom too but its all the same lol

meh, I'm pretty sure the thread is titled, SUPRICA

sorry, I had to give you a hard time

[playr158]

yea it is titled suprica

thats the porject nik name
but when asked i say celica w/supra headlights

[Ethnykceli]

i saw his car in person its really good work. i like its totally diffrent from every one else keep up the good work!

[madmods]

Personally I think the 4 headlight look is beautiful, but I am a big big fan of custom work, so I give plyr props.

[usdm_at200]

first thing, cool job!!! sweet conver. and CF Hatch(liftgate)? tell me more on your CF Hatch? how can i get one? well again, you got the skills! i thank you! keep it up!

[playr158]

cf hatch is in creation over at VIS
i started the IDEA of a cf hatch for our cars
after seeing a supra cf hatch post that 0re0 made!

then i turned the rings over to consynx who is now running the GB for the hatch we should have the hatches probably in another month

[usdm_at200]

great job!

Nike says, "JUST DO IT!"

love the work!

[Consynx]

and if you wanted you could still join the GB, lol
it'll better our cause to get them at $400+shipping

[vangSTa_celica]

obviously customizing is his hobby, and hes doing the work himself.. supra = 25,000 ... easy plus a nice one and modding it will run u up to 50 g's on a engine with a million miles. f*ck that , now he has a one of a kind car, for a 1,000 bucks.. dont hate, we all have "wanna be" supras on this site anyway. i converted my celica , and when its painted ill post pics, ill leave u with ur jaw on the floor.

[playr158]

check the 1st post AGAIN FOR BUILD PICTURES

[Jdog1385]

damn bro, really coming along nicely. so how are you gonna fit the supra front?

[playr158]

i'm really not sure what i'm goin to do with it

right now i'm sticking to the vader front and z3 sides since i believe that the rear needs to be finished b4 redoing an already completed (90%) front

that and i need to have a hood custom made for the car outta f/g as well

[Jdog1385]

tru, long process but it should look amazing.

[easternpiro1]

wow plyr i didnt know you had made SO MUCH PROGRESS!!! CONGRADS! i look forward to seeing it in person in 2 weeks! and nevermind any naysayers...THEY CAN GIVE YOU A COUPLE THOUSAND 4 THE JOB and do the work themselves...then MAYBE they can talk shizzle. but since most people dont have such a talent they can SHUT THEIR SPIT FAUCETS! THUMBS UP and may you grab the attention of many bucksome busty babes with the conversion!



and save a couple 4 me!

[xeril]

ehhh... now you have to worry about engine work it seems, huh?

[playr158]

eh right now my motor is fine

silly fifth gens think they all that
