My first project, New parts Arrive! Options

[Bourne6Gen]

I am new to this forum and i am also new to the jap scene.

I got hold of this little beauty about 2 months ago from a good mate of mine for £450 and have finally understood why people say "Once you go Jap, you never go back".

It was completly standard when i bought it apart from the wheel that are on it.

Current specs are;

Engine: 1.8L 16V
Mileage: 145'000 miles
Current mods: some tiny wheels that dont look right on it.

so here is a picture of when i first got her


not long after getting it i had to add some audio


my mate also had a exhaust that he bought for the celica but never fitted it so he sold it to me for a good price

Exhaust could do with a clean


i have got some plans for her, just got to fugure out how i go about it.

Plans for the future

New Update

So as you have all seen above, i have had a recent change of events and got an offer i could not let down.

A good mate of mine wanted to buy a 6 gen but wasn't sure which one to buy.
We ended up going through Auto Trader for days and the came across a Red 1994 Toyota Celica GT Jap Import.

It was only £395 and could not help but be interested in finding out more details. I called the guy who was selling it and he said he had received it in a Part exchange deal.

It had;
- 135'000 miles
- MOT for 12 months
- Coilovers
- 17 inch TWS alloys
- GT Four spoiler
- Front strut brace
- Induction kit
- custom exhaust

Now it did have its bad points, the paint work needed to be redone and there were a few dents and scratches but nothing you wouldn't expect for a red 20 year old car.

after seeing all this i told my mate he had to buy it as the bad points of the car didn't even come close to the good point of the car. The problem my mate had was due to him being 18 no one would insure him.
so he came up with the idea that he would buy the GT and swap with me car for car my ST as i would easily get insured on the GT.

Now any one in their right mind would ever turn down a offer like that, so that night we all got in my car and drove over to Brighton to go and see it.

when we got there it looked exactly like what i was expecting and after taking it for a test drive i realized that it will need a clutch change very soon but i could still drive it.
After weighing up all the pro and cons of the car i decided i had to buy as i probably wont come across an offer like this in the future again.

so after all that here she is when i got her home.


and here are some picture the next day in some day light














Things that need sorting on it
- Clutch change
- Full Respray
- Wheel refurb

The will be more up dates tomorrow after i fit some new parts to it, will keep you all updated.
