Not a giant fan of the graphic, but it looks clean! Welcome.

[richee3]

^^^ x2. The graphic isn't bad, I've seen much worse. But other than that, the car is really clean! If that is what it looks like now and you say it isn't staying like that for long, I can't wait to see what it will look like soon!

[plasticgeordie20...]

the graphics are being removed shortly they were a short option to save money on a respray and to get a bit of attention at shows

the car will be going back to look like this

[manphibian]

Great car that mate ^^^

[RickJamesBish]

I never even knew there was such a huge scene for Celicas in Europe...I guess I never paid attention when I was little, but I don't think I ever really saw one there.

Yeah, i think they are a lot more popular in Europe than the US. Probably because the US got the ass end of the range

[enderswift]

is it just me or would that car look amazing with projectors? I mean all celicas look better with them, but i think the color would make this celica look extra nice with a set

[Driveby]

Nice car mate, love the storm blue
What wheels are those? they really suit the car.

[plasticgeordie20...]

Nice car mate, love the storm blue
What wheels are those? they really suit the car.

They are 17" Lenso RS5 alloys in gunmetal with polished lip

Cheers bud, just looked and they dont do the 18" with a low enough offset to clear the ST205 calipers

[plasticgeordie20...]

The offset is 42mm on them so i ahave fitted 5mm spacers to bring them out of the archs with the original offset the fronts were very close to the brake caliper

[zero07]

Welcome car looks great!

[m0dd3d1]

Nice car! Welcome! I miss the good 'ol UK.

[waveydavey]

hello mate, car looks the best on the 2nd pic down without the graphics on, lovely looking car.

[BloodyStupidDave...]

It is pretty rare to see any specific gen other than a 7th gen on the roads. I do around 350 miles a week and might see one other gen 6 during the week if I am lucky.

Impressive List of mods there mate.

[plasticgeordie20...]

My insurance company thought so too

[plasticgeordie20...]

Just realised I have not posted here for quite a while and a can't find my other thread.

Well since last time I posted the car has had a slight change. It has just finished having a 3.0l V6 1MZ-fe engine fitted with fully ported and polished heads.

I havent picked it up from the shop yet as it still needs to go through its MOT (UK road safety test) but here are a few tasters

Nice

[manphibian]

Superb mate

[SwissFerdi]

That engine = amazing. Great!

[plasticgeordie20...]

Thanks guys, the shop didnt get chance to get the car in for its MOT today which is a bit of down point for me as from tomorrow I am on hoilday in Orlando till the beginning of October.

Would of been really nice to have picked it up before I went but at least I have something to look forward to when I get back

[SwissFerdi]

Orlando's a nice town, I'm only 2.5 hours south of it.

so those engine mods I presume they were for the 3S-GE that was previously in it?

[plasticgeordie20...]

yes thats correct

But the list of engine bay mods is not much shorter on the v6 its took nearly a year to do and a vortedh supercharger is in the planning for next year

[plasticgeordie20...]

Just checked my emails in the hotel and the car has passed its MOT so i will be picking it up and posting further pics when i get home

[richee3]

What about your exhaust? Do you still have dual exhaust on your v6?

[plasticgeordie20...]

yes i still have the dual exhaust the shop fabricated custom front pipes to work with the existing exhaust

[plasticgeordie20...]

Its a while since this has been updated but when the car has been off the road for a around a year then what do I expect anyway the car now has a V6 engine courtesy of Woodsport. Words can not describe how good these are they are worth every penny.

Any here a re a few details

Before



During



Running



Complete



Test Drive



I dont think I will ever get bored of that sound

[manphibian]

Sounds fantastic

Good stuff mate

[SwissFerdi]

Geordie...that sounds AMAZING. Sounds really deep compared to our tiny I4's.

[Remanight]

Welcome!! Great looking car

[plasticgeordie20...]

Thanks Guys i'm well impressed with the new engine

[plasticgeordie20...]

Well I have only had the car back from Woodsport a short time but i couldnt let the modding bug go completely so here is my latest mod

Before



After

[HaysoosKreesto]

Beautiful car man. Although some people here don't feel the exterior, I think its very unique and awesome looking yo!

[SwissFerdi]

I love those euro blocks...it's probably the only spoiler I'd consider switching to, besides a duckbill.

[plasticgeordie20...]

Yeah its the spoiler I would have as well GT4 blocks are just to big for my taste

[plasticgeordie20...]

Well I have finally got round to doing the mod I have been threatening to do for ages. Excuse the dirty car but it was getting dark by the time I had done it.

[Keiri]

Unforgivably sexy car. Even with the dirt it looks CLEAN. Very nice.

[manphibian]

Tis true, that car is so slick! <3

[SwissFerdi]

Your car without decals > your car with decals.

Very, very nice.

Dont know the engine never got running properly with them in, in fact them being incorrectly fitted is what blew the engine in the first place

[plasticgeordie20...]

I have been busy, well with the help of my other half. What do you lot think?





I might have to start a new thread just for mods.

[manphibian]

Looks like you (both) did a good job mate

[SlvrCelica09]

DUAL EXHAUST?????????? yea I officially hate you.

[plasticgeordie20...]

DUAL EXHAUST?????????? yea I officially hate you.
