Any Flushed out celicas out there ???? Options

[xfactor21]

sup guys !

i would love to see a flushed out celica on here !
if you have pictures then post them up !

thanks !!!!

[CelicaSTX02]

Yeah, I've been trying to find pix of some but haven't found any. I would love to see some Celicas with a really nice stance or a nicely tucked engine bay.

[black13]

seems like the hellaflush fad hasn't reached the celi crowd yet. But I agree would be nice to see how a 6gc would look like.

[Cs91]

Just check out 808's Celica. Thats a nice and flush Celica, best on here i think.

nope Harold_Fastwalker's 6 is better than mines

[yarik83]

reason why you are not seeing flushed out celicas is because they are very impractical. You cant get up or down the ramps, you cant get over speed bumps, you cant drive over potholes, you cant drive over little bumps.

It gets old really really really fast.

Unless its a strictly show car with fully adjustable suspension I would not advise to even go there.

[trdproven]

#1, if you run flush wheels you have to raise your car
#2, you would have to cut or roll your fenders real good to fit flush wheels to maintain a nice and low ride

I wouldn't do #1 just to go super flush like a drift car, I wouldn't do #2

its about preference and practicality. we don't have 240s where our fender rim is narrow and thin to accomodate it that easily.

[hatchy_gt-s]

Its photoshopped but...This is what 1 would look like.

^ LOL how embarrassing.

@yarik83:
I think you are wrong you can have a flush wheeled car but not have it super low. Take this for example,


Flush but yet high and looking good. Sure my car isnt the lowest here but the lowest point it 6-7cm, and i run around the town fine. Speed bumps, ramps fine. It just takes that extra bit of effort.

It doesnt get old at all quickly the VIP scene has been doing it for years.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Christian's car. Yeah, that's probably the nicest engine bay I've seen thus far. So freaking slick!

very hard to do on celica due to rally car chassis with large arches

awwww, thanks sweetie.

#1 - no, you don't have to raise your car.
#2 - yes, you HAVE to roll your fenders, front and rear. Cutting is a dumb idea, you can roll them in 30 minutes and be done with it.
#3 - we have wide fenders, which means we can fit wider wheels.

it works just fine, other wise I would be breaking newtons laws or something like that. We have tall arches, but tire choice fixes that issue. Don't stretch a 35 series tire on a 17in wheel and it will look fine.

aye it works but it is harder to do the 6GC then many other cars as it was designed to sit higher and allow for more movements of the suspension components, i seem to remember reading the design criteria for the ST205 (which is essentially the same as all the ST20 chassis) was to take the ST185 and make it better especially for winning the WRC, pity the car got disqualified and banned for a year lol

you have gone through a lot of experimentation to get to where you car is at now "hard" could mean money, how much have you spent on your tyres/rims/arch rolling, how much graft did you put into it to make it look that sweet it won't have been a walk in the park

[808celica]

mine was a walk in the park......coil sleeves, camber bolts, spacers

cut my fenders, dumb yeah, but i dont care. It got the job done. All you whiners should just shut up and try it. You dont know the first hit might get you hooked
rears

fronts, all i did was push in the splash gaurd screw

whiners? people have just given their reasons for not wanting to do it or beliefs that it is harder (harder meaning difficult or costly done properly) to do on the 6GC then some of the more commonly "hella flushed" cars

take yours for example. you cut your arches right off and they don't look like they have been treated, they wouldn't last 1 winter in some where like the UK, corrosion would set in big time big time but rust prevention is easy. we have to move onto the amount of flex the arch will now have, if some one walks into your car it will most probably fold the arch like tin foil, but, it looks good though.

these aren't whines just counter arguments

what coils do you have? and where did you get em?

[jordisonjr]

Tom_ss2: If your car is hellaflushed, that means it will probably be slammed, and on some nice rims. Why would you even think about driving it in the winter?

its not like it only rains in winter here, why do you think we have such green grass?

[jordisonjr]

No Im saying, if it snows where yo live, why would you drive a car thats slammed with nice rims? Seems like a no brainer to me.

cars are meant to be driven personally i'm not a fan of cars that are only for shows or best conditions driving, it sorta defeats the object of it being a car

[jordisonjr]

I guess so.

[trdproven]

you do have to raise your car if you don't want to do #2 which is not a good idea if you want to keep your car in good original condition, its a sacrifice. it will weaken your fender. I know we have wide fenders but they are not to accomodate wide wheels without modding like a rear wheel drive vehicle.

This is more for looks and is not practical in anyway for your daily driver celicas. i don't think anyone here is doing time attacks or drifting i believe to need it that super flush. you can do autocross with up to 8.5 which is enough. its a good idea to give good advice or opinions but also note the pros and cons.

if this wasnt the case, then everyone would be flush on this site. its just not practical. but its your car, so thats all up to you. many things will start to wear out fast.

@ trd: I think you are making excuses as to why YOU don't want to do it. That is how I am reading your replies.



Rolling your fenders does little to practicality or the flexibility of your fender. Cutting them does weaken them, if you roll them a bit you still have that support. I daily my car, it is the only car I have. I take it on gravel/dirt when I head to mountain biking places. I stuff 4 fixies in the trunk with 4 riders when I go to races. I put golf clubs, lacrosse goals/equipment for practice, etc...

of course, all fads are not practical. OEM is practical, anything after that is unnecessary and for style.

[trdproven]

Dude our cars are front wheel drive, not necessary to be super flush. My car is well over 3" drop. I have no excuses I have dropped over 30000 in parts and restoration into the celica with no issues no loans, straight up paid. Its not a money thing nor a preference thing. BTW rolling them does make it weaker when you roll them it loses its horizontal support. You could say whatever you want in this forum, you seem to be a cocky guy more of "its my style, this is how I like it, its cool, i got balls" when actually this site is suppose to be informative for the everyone. Stop trying to convince people, just becus they are giving you attention about your tucked car. Do you have any idea how many parts you will wear out or parts you will break by going that low and you did not say anything about consequences? I'd suggest you start helping people instead of promoting your personal ignorance.

Who cares if our cars are FWD. The OP asked for flushed Celicas and to post pics, so shut the hell up and keep to the OP. Harold and I have flushed celicas and we posted pics.

Daily, Track, or Garage Queens, Snow, Sun, Rain or Shine, if you dont have a flushed celica or have no plans on doing it stay out of this thread.

Easy as that.......some 2 cents just need to stay in the coin jar

one other point, in the UK 808's car would be illegal due to the amount the wheels stick out of the arches, wheels should be within the arch, Harold's looks like it would be fine though.

FWD, RWD, AWD, Golf Cart, Scooter, who cares. People mod their cars for their own style. Some of us like the flushed look. Spending 30,000 on your car is your purgative, I beat the **** out of mine. Therefore, I won't dump that cash. Do I know what parts I will wear out? I sure do, hence why I replaced most of them before giving my car its stance. I know this car inside and out, I wrench on it all the time and have for many years.

Not helping this community? I wrote a thread on flush wheel fitment and adapters. I reply to PM's all the time about what is needed to fit a wheel properly and I reply in other people's threads about wheel fitment. I stay out of sections I don't have answers to.

Stop reading replies to your posts as hate mail. You are making statements and I am giving you my rebuttal. That is how life works. I am not here because I need my ego stroked or people to drool over my car. It is what it is, not everyone will like it and I don't honestly care. It is clean and how I want it. I post pictures so people can see what can be done.

For the record: There is no real reason any car, ever needs to have flush wheels, stretched tires and no wheel gap. But it is our style and what we want.

Who cares if our cars are FWD. The OP asked for flushed Celicas and to post pics, so shut the hell up and keep to the OP. Harold and I have flushed celicas and we posted pics.

If I where to take my camber back to 0 it would stick out of the fenders. 808 just needs to make some negative camber adjustments and he will be good to go.

i second that Tom, pros and cons is all what informative forums are about, people are here to learn, i stayed on topic and answered the question why there are not that many. The biggest question so far of why there is not so many because its not practical. and that leaves us with why there is only two so I think I did my part of answering these forums instead of acting like this is a reserved forum, again this is a not a reserved forum its a public forum to share information good bad pros cons why and why not. if it weren't for me, no one would have noticed the consequences, based of the pics cut fenders, sloppy camber, abnormal tire wear, wearing suspension, the list goes on, but at least now its pointed out for some of the novice enthusiasts here. By all means its all your cars, what choices you've done is fair to us as its yours but don't let promote others by showing pics ONLY when you don't even mention what it does to your cars or what to expect or how to correct them. When you can make others prevent any mistakes and make good choices I always thought thats what this site is for. if everyone did their own thing to learn and mess up on their own, this site is not needed to begin with, we are trying to learn from everyone else here. you guys' version of sticking to the topic is literally the exact topic words when it can even be related to the topic and make sense enough to make informative discussions. Alot of people fail because of thinking literal. I'm taking this personally because of the "you" emphasis on me when I think I was more informative than your pics without cons explanation. Honestly, we did stay on topic, you guys did your part on the flush pics but I fulfilled your half by explaining the why theres not so many and I get picked on, no F*ck that. From now on everyone should just show pics and say do this or do that cus it looks good, and don't bother to mention from now on what cons it brings, I don't even wanna hear anything about cons to a car or whats bad for your car since its not allowed. Hows that sound, doesn't sound like an informative site anymore right, everything has a cause and effect? Noone better even try to counter argue with something weaker because its clear whats going on. Your words are pointless, i was trying to help by adding what you haven't done or said for everyone else. you can't keep on saying its my car, i don't care, its just pics, when what you post might affect what it does to others cars and are you going to pay for any problems or reimbursements or are you even going to feel guilty that you didn't tell them what the effects are and the mistake is already been spent or done? I don't think so, so please post also on a professional thinking level. If I'm wrong about all this, mods please say so.

This is my daily ride height, when the car squats down it cuts the tires.......but I DONT CARE

I wish you flushy chaps could see the roads I drive on daily to get to work!!!!!!

Im not sure if i like the flushed look on a Celica to be honest. I'd prefer well offset rims and a sensible drop. Just my opinion.

A question to you though, how is your steering affected? Has your turn in/turning radius changed much?

Cheers
