Haha,

As a side note - I find it funny how Dan likes to comment on incorrectly posted english when he doesn't get it right himself! Example:

ur not in the cool club

It should be "you're" not "your", or even "ur."

j/p with you Dan.

uh oh its the return of Snapshot, Texas grammar Ranger.

pot and kettle black together

[96ST206]

am I the only one that is doing a Curren conversion on it's designed platform? I have a coupe, not hating hatches or anything I just like the look of it on a coupe.

[DiP203]

does anyone know where to find clear turnsignal lenses for this clip?

ive searched for them with no luck

any ideas would be helpful

[playr158]

there are no clear turn signals for the curren that i can find...
When I have some spare time I might try to clear them or something, think plexi from Home Depot or something....or ditch them

HIRO's curren has them though


and curren on track (cause i think its hot)

[DiP203]

yea ive been looking at hiro for a couple things

but i wanna try n find the clear lenses or ever make them if need be, shouldnt be too hard i think

[96ST206]

I can't see your pic (I'm at work) but if you have the 94-95 zenki front end it has amber blinkers, if you have the facelifted 96-98 kouki front end you'll have the clear blinkers. As far as I know it doesn't look like the blinkers could swap over but I could be wrong since I don't see Currens all the time. The Hiro one and the one on the track are both 96-98.

That one has the TRD package. It has a TRD font bumper with the molded grille, oem side skirts, and a TRD rear wing. Looks like it has the 3S-GE

Good luck dip! I would love to see it all together at the meet.

[96ST206]

Got mine back yesterday, had to rattle can the front red for now because the front was silver and the car is red. I put all the lights in, but now need to wire them up will post pics soon.

[tomazws]

Can't wait to see the results!

[808celica]

you should've left it silver and red. silver bumper, hood, roof, and trunk.

would look sick.

[Sinyk]

I think the Curren front end looks too much like a Honda Accord circa 1994, but I guess anyone that is really into Celica's would recognized the difference.

[808celica]

some say it looks like an s14. SOoooooooo!!!!

[96ST206]

some say it looks like an s14. SOoooooooo!!!!

I've been getting that a lot i've also heard camry and AE101/111 levin. Also I finally wired the headlights in it looks awesome now I just need to get some 8000K HIDs.

to 808celica, what you're saying would look nice. when it came out of the shop most of under the hood was color matched so there was some over spray on to the fenders making them look red/pink so I had to rattle can it just for now until I can get it all factory red again.

[DiP203]

Soo the celi is getting brought down to get the front end pulled tomorrow!!!!!!!!

should take a day for the pulling, then hopefully this weekend ill get the clip on and wired up..........


its lookin like i might just make the CSP meet

[96ST206]

except mine was done almost a year ago?!

good job Dip it looks good.

[lagos]

Done = Painted and on a running car. Both of you still have a ways to go from being done.

[DiP203]

well......my car is running,going to dmv tomorrow, as for finishing ad paint i have till sept 13th to be ready for a local car show, for now imma throw on a custom blue i made up,and my boss is gonna throw some trueflames on the hood (possibly)

so my goal is the 13th of sept

[playr158]

you do know mine is painted toyota OEM white right

but this isn't a pissing contest stick to topic kiddies.


Dip i like the idea of blue, but keep it clean and leave flames to the hot rods.
some nice white pearl or small metallic flake would work very well

[96ST206]

It's funny - Dan started the curren conversion... and EVERYONE is going to have it done before him

Mine has been done, and then sold loving the progress man I miss mine a lot but, having a place of my own is nice though

[DiP203]

can't wait to see the finished product. I wanted to do this to my car for a while but realized I don't have the expertise or money to do it.

[TOYOTA_ST204]

just got the clip in today cant wait to get that ish on the car

hey i live in the usa in ca san bernardino were i have a st204 and i have projecter and i got hit in the front but the projecter weren't damge at all the bumper is no good and my hood went to crap so now that happen i want to make it into a curren conversion can you help me wit that.

[DiP203]

the hardest part is finding the clip after thats all said n done just splitting tac welds and mocking up and re tacking the new frontend on/re wiring the headlight connectors

[njccmd2002]

nice work bro, if we can only find somebody to import these clips...

[trdproven]

what lips are available for the curren and are they easily attainable?

[DiP203]

i was able to find one lip that was "a curren lip"
other than that one i havnt found anything, not sure if i can use front spliters from a celica or not, probably not tho.

looks like its gonna be a custom job while im at school

[playr158]

VARIS makes a lip and i think HIRO might have a set of splitters but I can't remember

I have seen a "C-one" type/style bumper but yet to find the producer, I might just try and adapt a celica one to fit.

[njccmd2002]

where do you guys even find these things, i need rear splitters for curren and skirts.
