Will do mate not sure if you can see these but here's a link to 7 seats in a 6

Page 2 for the seats although mine will have the darker outers lighter inners than those one

[sr666]

Well I've finally got the items I was after. I've now got the gen 7 steering wheel which arrived today and I've paid for the seats now I just need to collect then I'll be more than happy.

She still needs plenty of work but I daresay she looks pretty good as she is

[Rusty]

looks super clean

yes I know all about the fun with white wheels

[sr666]

Cheers Rusty I appreciate it. I used to have Volk CE28N reps but they just got filthy every 2 seconds so they had to go. Eventually the black wheels will be getting sprayed white to match then it'll likely be going down a different style route after seeing WhipCream's Celica I might have fell in love with it

[sr666]

Right then well today I fitted the gen 7 steering wheel although I've got a slight problem as in the horn doesn't work so I'd imagine I need the gen 7 horn ring also which should make life easier.

On the pre facelift they don't have the spiral connectors like the facelift do so I'll need to work something out for it

Anyways a quick pic (forgive me please it was dark)



Does suit the 6gc much better

Soon enough the g7 interior will be here and hopefully fitted

Also fixed a few other problems and spaced the wheels out slightly

I need to fit the front spats again but I can't until I've put her on the dyno to see what she's running but once she's done she'll be looking pretty again

Thanks for reading

[sr666]

And a slightly better pic

I'm currently waiting for the rails from the 7 to be swapped over so the 7 seats will fit onto the 6 but apparently the 7 rails are both shorter and thinner than the 6 so it's not a straightforward swap I was expecting

And a daylight pic of the steering wheel fitted in my car



Next up will be the dyno day although that's not until January. I hear the Blitz range are meant to be pretty good on power so it MIGHT surprise me for power too (fingers crossed)

Comments appreciated

That wheel looks great. I'm defo gonna do that too.

Why not just put the 7GC cushions onto the 6GC frame?

[sr666]

Because they're completely different I've heard. It's not a massive ballache to do but the runners on the 7GC are narrower / shorter than the 6gc ones so you need to fabricate the things. And the backs of the 7 are totally different to the 6 so they'd likiely not work too well

Cheers Edser. If yours is a prefacelift you'll need to faff with the wiring a little bit (was a total ballache if I'm honest lol) If it's a facelift it's much easier mate but it's soooo much nicer to drive with

Hopefully the seats will be getting fitted tomorrow so pics to follow I suspect

[richee3]

If you had a facelift Celica, the 7th gen seats would bolt right up to the 6th gen seat rails with no fabrication required. Can't wait to see pics of the seats installed.

Ah cheers I never knew that I'll pass that on if I hear of anyone else wanting the same

I can't wait to get them fitted either

[richee3]

Here you go.

Cheers thanks for that bud

Not the greatest pics ever but as the front window's tinted and the seats are black it makes life very difficult to get pictures of all the seats at once so here's the best I can do for now at least

Ignore my daft friend lol







So yeah they're fitted and comfy now

More to follow in January I expect

[sr666]

Today I've bought myself a decat for her so it'll hopefully make it a tad louder. I've been warned that with the Blitz SUS induction kit I've got it certainly won't be quiet so whether it's bearable or not will confirm whether I keep it fitted or not lol

That's likely to be the only mod for a while sadly though as I've got plenty to pay out sadly for her :-(

[sr666]

Or apparently not as the decat's arrived Friday and today I've managed to source some Infinity front and rear speakers for a good price although they won't be fitted for a while

Pics when they're done / fitted

[sr666]

Righty then time for a small update

I've bought myself some Pioneer speakers instead of the Infinity's I was going to buy and have fitted them and I must say I've very pleased with them.

Also as it's winter she's been refitted with my blue gen 7 wheels although they make the car even lower so now I scrape the floor on a slight slope

Anyways she's due a good service so I think that'd be next for now then I've gotta get her ready for show season

[sr666]

Well onto my 5th set of wheels in 7 months since I've had the car and they're still not right so I'll likely end up changing them yet again

She started as



She then went to this after I sold the blue ones



They buckled so I then got these



I got bored of them scrubbing to the point they put a hole in the arch plastics

So I bought the blue ones again



Had these fitted 3 days then got rid yet again for these



And now I need to get the front spats fitted then I'm hoping to get her a set of SS3 riser blocks and I'll be happy

[sr666]

And today I got a tad bored so I got myself a drive by video
