What should i do with my celica? Options

[rspjean]

thats the current state in which my celica is in and i want some opinions, should i a) gt-four front end conversion or b) go all out and go for a curren front end conversion ?

[playr158]

a) GT4 is played and a moot look
b) nobody gets a curren but me

c) go with what you think looks best, is within your budget, and within your abilities.....its YOUR car do what YOU want...don't just hop on a

[rspjean]

i really really wanna do a curren front end but i dont even know where to start with that

<3

i really really wanna do a curren front end but i dont even know where to start with that

<3

a good place to start is by getting the front end body pannels

[rspjean]

what is it that i need besides radiator support, fenders, lights, and bumper?

[playr158]

radiator support, fenders, hood, headlights, cornerlights, turn signals, bumper, crash bar, mounts and such

[rspjean]

[devilsden97]

looks good man

[snapshotgt]

My vote is for a GT-4 front conversion.

[rspjean]

im feeling a curren front end way more than a gt-four front end

[rspjean]

where can i order parts i cant find **** online

[yarik83]

just a friendly reminder that:
a celica with non celica features is not a celica.. something Danny found out in his suprica project.
However a conversion is a nifty mod to one's car.

-finally if i was you I would print a few high quality photos of a curren from different angles and walk around and ask random people what do they think the make of the car is without revealing till the very end.

Based on my quick questionaire about 50 people I did ask thought that curren was (at least from a 45 degree front/side shot) that it was either an integra or a camry.

Good luck with either conversion.

[j0e_p3t]

^ that's just cuz they don't know any better. some people already think i drive an integra. anywho... i say go for the curren conversion if you really want it.

that red curren looks pretty awesome, id go with that, if you have the skills, the connections, the money, and the time. the gt4 would be easier, and cost less i would think. btw plyr is that a recent pic, are you almost done?

[playr158]

i'm never done!

[manphibian]

I really don't get this Curren fascination

It's like you're taking the Celica and taking away the features that make it different and attractive (the sleek pointy front end with those unique lights) and replacing it with a mundane front end that could come from any dull family saloon.

Dunno, maybe it's a cultural thing. I don't think anyone from the UK would ever want to do that conversion.

ah well, it would be boring if we were all the same wouldn't it.

[playr158]

hrmmm considering the curren was never in teh US i think its you're cultural problem :neener:

and if you think my curren front on a hatch (which it never came hatch) will be mundane, well then my friend you still have MUCH to learn...

plus your car looks sloow and 6gcs are common anyways? lol

u don't get the curren bit, i don't get teh GT4 bit....but hey to eachtheir own

Yeah i know the curren was not in US and i'm not trying to dis anyone's personal preference, as i said, everyone is different. and the hatch thing, i never thought about that as there are NO coupe celicas here.

I understand that you want to make something that is rare, unique even.

and compared to many cars, yes, my car is slow. I'm happy with the 3S-GE though, where i live it's difficult to get upto crazy speeds anyway! MULTIPLE SPEED CAMERAS FTL

dam dan! seems like the project is coming along..but while you're at it Dan, you should really consider doing a 205 motor swap and make it AWD..just my $0.02..LOL

[elvasoshexai]

i once posted a pic of a curren on a non car site in the car section in a thread about "guess what car this is"

the responses i got were

integra with jdm front end conversion
camry
s14 silvia
soarer
ae101
levin
toyota badged 240sx
supra

but i think the fascination with the curren conversion is just like how people here like doing the jdm front end conversion for the 4headlight integras

but i think the gt4 and curren both look really gd. i guess it all depends how much $$ u wanna spend

WTF are you sneaking around my garage!

ST205 motor is going in cause its 100% plug and play....BUT the ST205 is by NO MEANS bolt in for my application....and AWD is for girls....

[bccentaur3]

How is AWD for girls? IMO its way more manly compared to a FWD.

[playr158]

I agree 100%

I love my car because of the way it looks now. I hate all this "conversion" stuff. :-\ But that's just my opinion, i wouldn't do it to MY car. Prob cause i love my projectors so much idk.

[rspjean]

i think im gonna end up giving my celica to my dad i dont want a gtfour front end and curren is too much work everyones gonna hate me but i think im gonna get myself an integra and just do a jdm front end conversion i dunno yet

[playr158]

integra with a JDM type R front is hawt

[rspjean]

i know i really wanted to make the whole curren thing work out but i dunno its lots of work , lots of money, and my dad does need a car with all the money i use front a couple of pieces for the celica ill have a bad ass tegi gotta save up some cash doh if im gonna buy one
