New To Forum, need Your advice before buying Options

[Kustomizor]

Glad to be here, have been lurking on this forum and thought the community was great so have decided to join


Basically im in the middle of a current car project which involves making a bmw 318xi. This car is basically supposed to be a 2dr mini suv that looks like the e36 line, im hoping when its done and at shows that people will believe bmw actually made it.


.... anyways ive kinda wanted to get a sport car for sometime, im tall tho like 6ft 3 and so most cars usually dont have a lot of tilt, i climbed into a 6gen celica and was delighted with how much space i had even without momo seats.

Im very interested in buying one of these, the gt4 isnt usually available here, im currious what would be involved and if possible converting a standard GT into a gt4 later on. and has anyone done a 6spd transmission swap? I know the next gen celica has one, but yeah that car is obviously too small and the 6gc looks nicer

I will post pictures of my work on my current project shortly, which has involved motor and tranny and transaxle swap and a massive ammount of body work.


thanks and hope to be posting more when and if i get this car that you all enjoy.

thanks man!

yah i think theres a few kicking around but itll cost a kings ransom to find one :lol:

Ive got time, because im short of money for a new car and cars here in se asia are mad expensive because the price doesnt depreciate all that much, the toyota supra prices for example are just insane more than it ever costed new 2 fold!


but the celica is appealing because i can take a nice looking car and make it better, ill consider what you say though about the gt4 if i can find one.


I have a lot more bodywork to do 40% done, i need to rework the hood in theme with the e36 and a hint of x3.






I have just finished installing a bmw318 motor, and will be turbochargining it and strapping an intercooler later.




had previously used 4" spacers to give me a wider wheelbase as i redid the bodywork and fenders, but the transaxle will need to go when i turbocharge it so ill be installing a 5series which will also give me the wheelbase i need.

Ive added a sunroof from a range rover, which makes this car feel like a convertable since half the roof can dissapear when switched on



anyways will post more later, when the car comes together.


any advice on the celica conversion would be good to, but ill keep my eyes open for a gt4
