My ST205 replica, SOLD THE CELI..... Options

[THE20V]

Hi,

Here is the story of my Celica build. My RX8 had just been stolen and my wife was pushing me to just buy a cheap daily for myself. So having a long history with Celica's and ST165's. I thought i'd buy a Celica. So I found this 'Automatic'...yes I know. One owner, old lady Celica. I thought, that had to be a good cheap daily. So I bought it and the thing just snowballed. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

This is a picture of it infront of the lady's house, the day I bought it.



First thing I did was buy GT4 Raiser Blocks.



Then came the 18 Inch Rims



Then came the GT4 bonnet



Then it got lowered 2 inches



Then we did a very bad paintjob on the bonnet at home and got some 17 inch rims, which I think are UGLY.



Then came my final set of 17 inch rims, and a GT4 bumper, because someone at work reversed into me, yeeaaah.



Then came a full respray, and clear indicators, front and side.






Then came the JDM tails.



Then came the tinted windows.





All this happened over a 2 year period. I am pretty happy with the way it looks now. The only things I would love to do, is get some wider tyres and some spacers to give it a nice stance. And also, when the 5SFE dies, I am tossing up between a 3SGTE or the Camry V6 motor.

Any feedback or thoughts, go ahead.

i was hoping someone could help me out, I have two questions:
1) when I put my spacers on, I have noticed that the right side front wheel, sticks out further than the left side. The guy at the wheel shop who put them on reckons its just an issue of more camber on one side than the other. Has anyone had this before or know how to fix it?
2) i managed to stop the rear from rubbing by 'massaging' the fenders. But what do I do about the front. I suspect the screw thats holding the inner plastic on, is whats rubbing. But if I take that off, it will hang down, won't it? Whats the solution?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
