Hi, use photobucket to host pics, the copy and paste the [img] code into your post.


Oh, and i removed your sig picture as it's about 20 x bigger than is allowed

[Supersprynt]

Wait how did she even GET that sig up? Isn't there code to prevent that?

Hi, btw.

[DEATH]

You can also resize the sig in Photobucket just be sure to save it as a new file so you don't resize the original or change it anywhere else you may have used it. [Never could get my sig the right size for some reason ]
Welcome BTW

[delusionz]

Wow another Aucklander, sweet.. I haven't seen your ride around, where abouts in Aucks do you stay?

[nats_celica]

well iv been on this site for ages lol just bin in hibernation lol. its a black celica hatchback 1997 with hiro front lip, z-glazed rear lip, trd sides and a veilside gt4 spoiler which is currently being sanded at the moment so am doing a little bit everyday but no luck. i had deep dish work miesters on but i have sold them as u cn see in the old pics but have now lowered it a lil just on lows and chucked cheap dtms 17' on atm.

Things that need fixing
one trd side has a crak
front lip has a crack
paint the spoiler again
minimal fluid leak

Things that dont need fixing but need to happen
either a gt4 engine or 2jz engine added
converted to manual ... yea boi!!
silver work meisters look lovely
nice new full body kit
custom paint car to midnight black with (yes guys i know) pink trim
leather seats
some new speedometer/ dashboad look to that
remove spoiler and drill holes
chuck 2 12' subs and jbl amp in with 6 x 6 speakers in front and 6 x 9 in bak and defo new head deck as mine no longer accepts cds at all lol go 88.6
need new tints

anyway thats about it for now i think anyway would love to get 6G more recognised in nz and all u nz ppl out there we so needa make a cruise ok just cuz we can. thanks for replying to post guys and gurls.

oh and my tints um are 5% below so even repco dont sell them dark enuf any body know wat i cn do. they r illegal but i got back door wof so no worries bout that its just wen sont c**t smashed my window they replaced it with a non tinted window now just looks stupid and cnt find a dark enuf tint to match the rest... my luck i guess.

Peace out and drive safely... if u cn lol...

[delusionz]

your making the same mistake i did when i first got a Celi... confusing the GT models and the japanese imported SS models as the Japs didn't put the model name on them... Infact it's very hard to tell at a first glance but your car is either an SS-I or an SS-II, I'd know for sure if you had your chassis number handy (E-ST20X-XXXXX) ... or even a photo of under the hood

man theres so much you need to know about your car and what your car has/doesnt have compared to other models

but anyways, a few comments... 2jz (supra) engine will never go into a celi
6x9's are out as an option as the rear passenger speakers have 6 inch mounts unless you're keen to make big holes in ur parcel tray (thats dodgy for WOF)
there are some good options for making ur dash look nice (at night with LED bulbs)
ive had 2x10" subs and 1x12" sub in my car and I liked the two 10's, the bass from just the 1x12" already rips my ears to shreds so wouldnt have 2 of them..... the 10" subs have a more crisp bass kick and have alot faster response...

my dash, the top isnt really that dark, for some reason my camera just never picks that part up...


doubting you'll be wanting two of these...

[nats_celica]

hey hun thanks for the reply well we should catch up and teach me all bout the car since obviosly i didnt know lol. oh and the 6 x 9 iv allready done dodgy work on the bak speakers lol and iv had two 12'' before but one blew so i now have one 12'' in but its crapping out of me:( very sad to say cuz i love my music and ur dash looks mean now only if u could gt that in pink haha every thing looks awesome oh and thanks fr takn your time on writing all of tht love coming online and seeing someone has written me a long as port:)

p.s ill text u mark if i had credit(will gt some soon)

nat xx

[nats_celica]

oh and the chasy number is ST- 202... AND HERE ARE SOME NEW PICS GUYS AND GIRLS:)

[delusionz]

[nats_celica]

Nat's Celica now has a pod filter Hey Natalie you make it home safe??

[parriehunter]

Photos.

Lets see that sweet 3s.

[delusionz]

Finished working on it at bout 9.30 tonight, been at it all day trying to buy a silicone reducer (ripco wants $60, superexpensive wants $35, finally found it at BNT performance for $12 as it should be) that and sanding down a 3 inch joiner for the pod filter because the nutter at ripco sold me 3 inch clamps that were borderline 76mm and were a tight squeeze to get on. Also reshaped, cut, plastic welded & sanded the intake resonator to remove the resonance chambers and fit the air temperature sensor from the old airbox. Motor sounds alot better, will take pics during the day, This is just a temporary measure till we get a 3" aluminum ram pipe.

[parriehunter]

Sweet sounds like you guys have done it the right way. Nice looking forward to pics.

[nats_celica]

hey thanks mike fr explaining couldnt put it better myself... gt home safe love the sound feels alot tbetter to drive looks awesome pics will b up tomoro afternoon... cnt thank mike enuf fr everything. xx ... is awesome... ps i duno if i cn come over tomoro mum has sed no going out this week:( grrr. will find a way tho. thanks again

[delusionz]

I've almost finished building my own CAI so I've gifted my SRI aluminum pipe to Nat, The sound of her motor instantly brought back memories of my old SS-I Sorry for the lack of pictures at the moment, we'll get to that one.. This SRI pipe is a bit of a whore btw, It came from a half cut of a honda intake, and went into my friends Mirage Mivec 1.6 and then into my 95 SS-I and then into my 96 SS-III and now into Nat's 97 SS-I, Still sounds brutal as ever.

We also made her gauge cluster lights hot pink by using White LED T10 and T5 wedge bulbs and pink water baloons, They look good, again, photos soon.

I still have a few Go-Fast tricks for you yet

[parriehunter]

Haha awesome so still got a few tricks up your sleeve?

Cant wait to see some photos of that interior i bet its definitely different .

[delusionz]

Yeah some fairly major things since I noticed her intake manifold and throttle body were much smaller than my what was on my old 1995 3s-fe

[parriehunter]

Interesting. why not put in a ge. Hahaha just playing.

[WWSideWinder]

Hay Nat

How about some PICS (you saw mine, now show me yours) LOL.... :-)


Hope you wern it in toooooo mutch trouble on Sunday.


Mike you and me should get together soon and work on the cars.

I have the Key light working now and it looks Great.
I have coloured some of my Dash lights and some are showing Blue so I'll open it again tonight and re cote the bulbs.
I got the 1400w Amp working with my Sub now and it sounds a lot better that with out.
Now I got to look for a Pare of 10" to replace the 12".

See ya soon

WWSideWinder

PS. Mel was sorry she did not see you off, She had a nother picture for you.

[delusionz]

already gone? why?

[parriehunter]

What happened?

[nats_celica]

mum and dad have taken it off me for good and am leaving the house and leaving my poor baby in the garage

[parriehunter]

What happened tho?

So you are moving out of home?

[WWSideWinder]

HI Nat Whats Up?

[delusionz]

Clock & Dash (Camera doesn't do it any justice at all sorry) -- Thanks to WWsidewinder for showing us how to properly change the clock colour

[RickJamesBish]

So sad that so many cars today are slushboxes...oh well. Looks nice. Is the speedo a little uneven or is that just the pic?

[delusionz]

The camera always fails to capture it how it's seen with the eyes, the first pic is alot closer to what it is except the white in the corner is where the Pink condom fell off the white bulb, The clock matches with a brighter pink but once again the camera fails to capture it

[RickJamesBish]

Wait WHAT, you used condoms for lighting?

[parriehunter]

Looks pretty good.

So Im guessing nat has the celica back? Awesome.

[nats_celica]

Wait WHAT, you used condoms for lighting?

lol as to using condoms its the tip of a balloon tht we use to slip the led bulb into.. pretty much the same thng u use a condom for but funner:P the correct term would be a silicone sleeve but calling it a condom is so much more realistic. anyway yea i got my 6gen bak thank goodness and no the camera dont do it nice kinda captures everything u dont want to and not capture everything u do wanna. ill use my dads camera and take pics of our cars again sometime. thanks fr the replys guys.. anyway will post some more later. mike dont really leave me much to tlk with since he beats me to everything.

So sad that so many cars today are slushboxes...oh well. Looks nice. Is the speedo a little uneven or is that just the pic?
