Do you have a vision of your celica?, Is there a method behind the madness? Options

[poddjam]

So bc I'm thinking of switching to another 6gc, lately I've been attempting to come up with a complete and total vision of my car.

Now don't get me wrong, i think even if you don't have a masterplan, your celi will look nicer than most other cars but what makes some 6gc's look great rather than good is I think vision, planning before you spend 1 dollar.

Making sure that you wheels match your overall style. That your spoiler and bodykit are complimentary, that you picked a color scheme & tastefully incorporate it in all you mods. For instance if you have blue neon underbody lights I'd think blue would be a major part of you cars overall color theme, but sometimes its the only blue thing on the whole car

Now i know we will all never agree on whats good or not, but i think the majority can agree on a car thats great.

So do you have a masterplan?

[doGGy]

Then i was planing my car looks, i just used photoshop and my imagination its the best way i think. And do i have a masterplan? Well check out my profile and let me know

[poddjam]

doGGy, no doubt you had not only a plan, but a good plan. But how important do you think it is and what inspired it?

[doGGy]

[macavely]

yea i think most every one has a masterplan.. i know i do.. but having a plan and going through with that plan are to diffrent thing.

[Coomer]

I had a master plan to keep my car teal and get bronze six spoke rims that look like Volk TE-37s and go with turquoise neon all around, but those plans changed when my car got keyed and I got it painted yellow. I now have a completely different master plan that's slowly being carried out. I also try to use photoshop to see what my car's going to look like, but I'm no good at photoshop.

My master plan was to get a 300zx next summer, but that changed a few days ago when I was backing my motorcycle out of my garage and I scratched a bunch of paint off my fender. Then I realized that a lot of the other paint from my $1200 paint job is coming off too. So, I'm gonna buy the Erebuni kit (the front lip and sideskirts at least), get a new paint job that isn't orange peeled like crazy, pick up some rims, and then see about a swap.

I don't know why, but I love my car more now than I ever did. It's like something hit me.

[97sccelica]

my master plan is to finish up my turbo setup with a nice FMIC and a couple other things that.

that is the first half,

the second half includes an imported 6GC GT4 sitting next to my car in the garage.

these cars have all the looks i want. i just want better handling and more power.

[Mynzeyes]

[SuperDollarStud]

Erebuni 404 kit, bright red paint, with 2 (somewhat thin) black pin stripes going down, supra style wing, angel eyes, pure red tail lights, 3s-Gte, havn't deciced on the rims yet, and the cope de gras.... Lamborghini door kit.... and then of course you gotta have your system... two 12's with a X-plode pentagon 1,000w amp maybe?
I'll draw a pic of my dream celica and post it on this board

[Cody]

Man, you're going all out.

[SuperDollarStud]

yeh man I want it all.. haha but i dont expect to have it all in 1 weekend or year for that matter my plan is by atleast my 21st Birthday ( 18 now) I want to have a magazine worthy car. about the only thing I know for sure that I am not getting....neons... I just dont like them, there not my style.

Almost done with that picture, I will post it tommarrow when I finish.

[SuperDollarStud]

yah know.... I just read over this... and I realized.... I dont think you where talking to me Cody....I feel like a dumbass now.... oo well



-Brandon

[Cody]

Heh, no problem.

[ghostdog]

having a plan tends to save you money in the long run. so you aren't buying a 2.5" exhaust before dropping a 3sgte in for example. but like Coomer said, fate has a weird way of changing our best layed plans. so ultimately its best to be flexible and be willing to cut your losses if and when something happens.

for me, I've probably changed my overall plans about 20 times. thankfully I did my suspension mods first so I'm pretty set on those. now to paint and install the kit

ps: coupes rule

[Andason]

My master plan is to own this car for the rest of my life or until i crash it *knock on wood*. I want to make it perfect and completly custom.

[5sfeTurbo]

The plan would be too...

First body.

-Vielside Full body kit w/o a wing
-A Pearl white paint job
-VIS Carbon Hood
-Gun Metal Rims
-Some stick Tires

Engine.

-Well my other posts gave hint to all N/A 5sfe.
-Level 10 auto tranny
-level 10 shifttronic kit
-Bigger throttle body/Injectors
-Full ignition setup MSD/CraneCams
-Apexi SAFCII
-High compression Pistons/Rings
-WebCamshafts (hardweld)

Stiff Stuff

-Grand Tourismo Brake kit
-Rear and front sway bar
-Eibach Springs
-Some good gas Struts


Just a vision of mine so be cool and dont knock it or reply w/3sgte
Thanks.

[FallenHero]

My plan goes in phases. I've done most all I'll do to my interior. Next is my suspension: I will have GR-2's and springs\coilovers dependiNG on how I make up my mind by this christmas. Maybe even a strut tower brace. We'll see what happens.

seeing as i dont have a 6g yet becasue of the stupid insurance company and the fact that my blazer is still in the shop, but i have my plan for the most part

6g hatchback
veilside kit or copy
18in chrome phx II
1.5 lowered
shaved every thing
some kind of dark orange paint
carbon fiber hood
lambo doors
and if all goes well ""targa top"" and what ever it takes to make it work
along with 4 12's several screens and along with best devised way of mounting it all so it dont get stolen like the last stuff i had , not like it was hard for them last time the it was onlocked and the hood was open , but in a shop on a lift
but maybe by spring i should be raedy for shows

[BlackCelicaGT94]

[5sfeTurbo]

[Drocay]

[boosted_K2]

my vision: for someone else to do as they please with it and for me to be rocking my MR2 before the flurries fly.

[Jussimple]

I had one plan, to make this car as fast as I could. I went looks first because of the lack of patience. But the plan now is to turbo out a 4age black top throw it in and slap on a CF hood. Then its all interior. Its getting closer every day to being the car I always wanted. Good looking and fast!

[NEVERSTOP]

original plan: take it in stages... kinda lost track of what stage I am currently in

Master plan: Get from point A to point B - AS FAST AS I FUKEN CAN

oh yea and at point C... look good doing it

[pistatio56]

sorry for bringing up such an old topic, but i found it really interesting.

my car will get all of these and more eventually:

*Eurou Type 2 rear bumper only (make room for a dual exhaust)
*Motegi MRM Wheels or ADR Demonya Wheels
*Either Biuren Turbo, Ripp supercharger, or 3S-GTE
*TRD Shortshifter
*Lambo Driver side door
*Suicide passenger door (for the ladies)
*Carbon Fiber hood (if on sale) painted my car's color
*Keep the exterior simple, i don't want the cops to pull me over lust because i look fast
*Performance mods as money allows (again, looking for sales)
*Fixing anything that starts bothering me (i'm a bit OCD with my car)
*doing anthing i can by myself

[celicarocker]

i got a plan, its pretty much to make my car look like just about everybody else's celica...

invader front/sides
OEM rear extensions
some kind of 5spoke rims (undecided)
Greddy SP Exhaust
either white/blue or black/red paint scheme
dark window tints
new system....

thats about it, hopefully all done by summer...

[boosted_K2]

[neoklis]

When i had my Curren (Liftback) the plan was to upgrade to a 3S-GTE engine. When i was buying the engine from Japan though a year ago, i also came across a 1998 GT4 with $15k on the clock but damaged on left side and roof for about 7K. I got both. It took me around a year and another $4K in body shop and paint and my GT4 was done (replaced the whole roof with another roof with sunroof). Check pictures in my profile.
Then i was convinced by a friend of mine to get leather seats. I got them from auto-interior.com for about $750 (dark grey with dove light grey leather inserts-will post picts when i have time) The car was sitting too tall and so i decided to get rear splitters from Hedico for about $180 which i haven't yet installed. The car already has side skirts but i need a front lip. Its a bit difficult to find nice stuff at low cost and as i believe the bumper and bonnet of the GT4 are flawless, I dont want to replace with any veilside kit or something.
So i am trying to find now a front lip.

Near future plans:

1. Replace my 5-spoke 17'' (came with car black and then painted them Dove Grey) with some good gunmetallic 5-spoke 17''. The ones i have now have a very wide spoke and in general they are heavy, cheap and a bit ugly for my taste. I want spokes to be thin so that the 315mm discbrakes of the GT4 to be shown.

2. Lambo doors maybe? Looking for a bolt on kit. Dont want to start chopping again. Anybody knows where i can get a bolt on kit? Pistatio56 put a good link but their product is for the 7 gen Celi
Decah.net lambo doors
