Hi 6gcers
I think it is about time I introduce myself
I've been on here for a while now, but havent
got the courage to do this.
I regularly visit this site at least 5 times a day
I've had my Celica since Jan 2004.
As most of you can tell I'm from Sydney Australia.

So here are some photos of my pride and joy.
Enjoy.




I brought the car stock.
Mods I've done:
- K&N Panel Filter
- JSpeed Front Brace
- JIC Lower Arm Bar
- Cusco Rear Strut Brace
- JDM Tail Lights
- Clear side Indicators
- TV Screen & PS2
I think that is about it.

Future Mods:
I've order a bodykit waiting for it to arrive.
I wont tell you what it is, gonna be a surprise
I'm gonna get JDM projectors as well to match my tails.
Lightweight wheels, Tein Springs or coilovers, and maybe
a CF bonnet. I'm still not sure how it will look on a black car.

That is it for now, I'll keep you guys post on the progress

Posted by: CoSo Aug 27, 2005 - 10:48 AM

Nice car, mods look promising! I've got basically the same car except worse in almost every way lol

Posted by: CelicaZR Aug 27, 2005 - 10:55 AM

Posted by: purplegt4 Aug 27, 2005 - 12:42 PM

- JSpeed Front Brace
- JIC Lower Arm Bar
- Cusco Rear Strut Brace

how are these working for you? and any pictures?

Posted by: Jen Aug 27, 2005 - 12:58 PM

Very clean.

Posted by: Jaws4God Aug 27, 2005 - 1:21 PM

Welcome and Car looks great!

Posted by: CelicaZR Aug 27, 2005 - 1:51 PM

The JSpeed Front Brace & JIC Lower arm bar together
really stiffen the end front end. I love it.
The Cusco rear Strut Brace reduce body roll in the rear.
So overall I do notice a difference.
I hope that answer your questions.
I'll get pics of the JSpeed Front Strut brace & JIC Lower
arm bar tomorrow.
Here is a pic of the Cusco Rear Strut Brace

Posted by: CelicaZR Aug 27, 2005 - 2:09 PM

Thanks for the warm welcome and positive feedback guys
I'm happy to be part of this community.
I've learnt so much about my car since I've been here.

Posted by: Cutrara Aug 27, 2005 - 2:19 PM

Black Celicas are so sexy. Welcome.

Posted by: amysmojo Aug 27, 2005 - 4:26 PM

thats so cute! you were too shy to show off your celi awwww hehe!

Black is sexy indeed, very very nice!!

You better start posting more often not that we know who you are!!

Posted by: Scott Aug 27, 2005 - 7:06 PM

Looks like you've kept it in really good condition. BTW, which engine does the ZR come with down there?

Posted by: CelicaZR Aug 27, 2005 - 8:30 PM

Thanks Scott.
We only got one type of engine over here, The 5SFE

Posted by: Volks Aug 27, 2005 - 9:01 PM

Nice one mate!

Got to love the black celica's. Looking foward to seeing what the bodykit you have is to.

Posted by: CoSo Aug 27, 2005 - 10:36 PM

And lets not forget the 77 3S-GTEs

And thanks CelicaZR. I keep intending to mod the car, but then I think I'll wait and somehow import an SS-III in a few years instead

Posted by: CelicaZR Aug 27, 2005 - 11:36 PM

Oops... I forgot about the GT4! I cant believe it! Sorry Coso.
I'll upload the some pics of the JSpeed front strut brace and JIC Lower arm bar
soon.

Posted by: CelicaZR Aug 27, 2005 - 11:51 PM

Here are the pics of the JSpeed Front Strut Brace & JIC Lower arm bar

Posted by: OCceliST Aug 28, 2005 - 12:47 AM

How much did the struts and lower bar cost you?

Posted by: J-TYPE Aug 28, 2005 - 12:48 AM

wow, your ride looks like a brand new car...front strut and lower bar are freakin sexy!

Posted by: CelicaZR Aug 28, 2005 - 7:18 AM

I paid $200 for both.
The Strut brace was second hand, but the JIC lower arm bar
was brand new.
Also got the clear side indicators for free as well

Posted by: tomazws Aug 28, 2005 - 4:46 PM

Very very very very nice and clean car.

Posted by: Shigexile Aug 31, 2005 - 4:19 PM

cf on black? i think it will look nice

Posted by: CelicaZR Aug 31, 2005 - 5:30 PM

Yea i think it will look good too
There is a post about Black car with CF hood,
I'll have to find it and look at the pics and
then decide. But if I do get one it will probably
be an oem one.

Posted by: Drunken_Style Sep 4, 2005 - 10:02 AM

nice car

Posted by: CelicaZR Sep 4, 2005 - 4:32 PM

Thanks mate

Posted by: purplegt4 Sep 5, 2005 - 3:55 AM

holy moly is that two arm bars? or 1? that is crazy! never seen something like that.

Posted by: CelicaZR Sep 18, 2005 - 6:31 AM

thats just one arm bar.
I just took the picture from both side of the car.

Posted by: CelicaZR Sep 18, 2005 - 6:39 AM

Here was my last mod.
Was done awhile ago, but have forgot to takephoto of it at night.
I changed the lights in the cluster to blue.
Looks better than the stock white light.

What do you guys think?

Posted by: Driveby Sep 18, 2005 - 7:31 AM

Nice car mate, very clean!
Ive got the JSpeed ladder brace on my GT4, makes a nice difference although the '4 has front and rear upper braces as stock so is pretty tight anyway.
Keep up the good work it'll pay you back.

Posted by: CelicaZR Sep 18, 2005 - 8:18 AM

nice mate.
Yea I think cusco make the same one as that.
but i'm not sure if it for the 204 or 205.

Posted by: CoSo Sep 18, 2005 - 10:18 PM

Looking good CelicaZR and Driveby.

CelicaZR: What bulbs did you use, you've got a pretty good uniformity of light there!

Posted by: Akimbo Sep 18, 2005 - 11:16 PM

CF on black in my profile!

Posted by: CelicaZR Sep 19, 2005 - 8:11 AM

Yea its look awesome at night
The bulb i used was made in Japan. Its was called B1 hybrid. Made by Polarg i think.

Posted by: CelicaZR Oct 18, 2005 - 9:21 AM

I recently brought some JDM Power Folding Mirrors.
They've arrived
Cant wait to hook it up, but not really sure how to do it.
I'll read the sticky once I get it.
They are still are the post office.
Will get pics up soon

Posted by: azian_advanced Oct 18, 2005 - 9:17 PM

that's great... i have the link to a UK member's page who's done this mod to his st205. he explains step by step how to do it. there are also a few threads regarding that on this forum already. anyway, PM me if you want the link.

Posted by: CoSo Oct 21, 2005 - 10:58 PM

Good work CelicaZR, though personally I would have taken the heated mirrors

Posted by: CelicaZR Oct 22, 2005 - 12:12 AM

I didnt know there was heated mirrors
Oh well. It's still stuck at the post office.
But I'll get pics of them soon.
Cant wait to get it installed, it will be so PIMP. hehe

Posted by: CelicaZR Oct 26, 2005 - 8:11 AM

Here is the pics of my JDM Power Folding Mirrors.
Now I'm off to read the sticky.
I hope it's not to hard to wire up

Posted by: CoSo Oct 29, 2005 - 12:42 AM

Looks to be in good nick, congrats on the purchase

Posted by: CelicaZR Oct 29, 2005 - 1:32 AM

It looks alright when I saw the pics on ebay.
But when it arrived it was a different stories
But it doesnt matter, cause I'm gonna swap it over.
I'm just hoping that the mirrors work or otherwise
I'll be pissed off.
I should have it installed by next weekend hopefully.
Can't wait! I'll keep you updated, might get a clip of it
working

Posted by: CoSo Oct 29, 2005 - 11:03 AM

That sucks mate, at least it'll be good in the end.

You should wire it to the starter ignition or something to make it retract when the engine's off and extend when it's on, or something. That'd be sweet

Posted by: CelicaZR Oct 29, 2005 - 8:01 PM

I was thinking of something like that.
But I think I'm gonna wire it to my new alarm later.
So when it is arm, the windows, sunroof will close and mirrors will fold.
When it's unlock the mirrors will pop back out.

Posted by: CelicaZR Nov 20, 2005 - 8:51 PM

Yay! My kit is here
At last waited like 2.5 months for it.
I'll take pics of it tonight.

Posted by: forkee Nov 20, 2005 - 9:55 PM

damn, hahaha. cant wait to see it

Posted by: Magic Nov 21, 2005 - 3:06 AM

Clean Car CelicaZR
I like when owners improving car handling and chassis
Which bodykit did you got?

Posted by: CelicaZR Nov 21, 2005 - 8:31 AM

Thanks Magic
I wanted to done abit of handling first.
So I could take corner abit harder.
But now the kit has came I dont think
i'll be goin as hard.
The bodykit that I got was

Couldn't take any pics of it as it was all packed in
the box neatly. I didnt want to damage it.

But I'll takes some pics of it when it is on the car

Posted by: DSRT-FX Nov 24, 2005 - 8:48 PM

Posted by: dustin15brown Nov 24, 2005 - 10:09 PM

Thanks ice23q & dstrbcelica
I can now be part of the JDM Projectors club
I'll just finished installing it.
It took me almost four hours.
Had some problems along the way that why it
took that long.
I'll take some pics of it tomorrow.
I like to thank Preator & his GF for helping me install these
beauties. I like to thank Manny for his sticky on how to remove
the front bar. Without that I dont think I would've gotten very far

Posted by: CelicaZR Nov 26, 2005 - 12:42 AM

Well here are the pics I took today
I love the new look


Guess whats in the box?

Posted by: celiracer Nov 26, 2005 - 11:17 AM

Ya i wanna know how the much lower arm bars, and the JSpeed strut brace cost you?

Posted by: CelicaZR Nov 26, 2005 - 8:38 PM

They both cost me $AUS 200.
I brought it of a member here who
sold his 6gc.

Posted by: CoSo Nov 27, 2005 - 12:47 AM

I love watching the progress of your car CelicaZR

Lovely as usual, keep up the good work!

Posted by: Slow-lica Nov 27, 2005 - 1:27 AM

Congrats ZR, your ceilca's coming along nicely

Posted by: CelicaZR Nov 27, 2005 - 2:18 AM

Thanks Coso & Slow-lica
Those pics I took before didn't do the projectors justice so
here are some more pics to show how sexy they really are.

Posted by: Akimbo Nov 27, 2005 - 2:43 AM

Posted by: CelicaZR Nov 28, 2005 - 8:54 AM

Thanks Akimbo
I'm liking the CF bonnet you've got.
I might get one later down the track.

Posted by: Verde97 Nov 28, 2005 - 11:29 AM

great job on the projectors, great job on the install aswell... *thumbs up* hope to see them soons. getting HID's installed also? if not atleast try and get some pure white light bulbs. wishing i had them also hehehe... -R

Posted by: CelicaZR Nov 29, 2005 - 3:36 AM

Thanks dstrb & Verde
DSRT-FX: Yea thanks man We'll hook up again soon. I'm still looking at HIDs, not sure
which one to get yet or if I should get them now. I've got other things I need to save up
for Hurry up and get them man, they are a very good investment

Posted by: CelicaZR Dec 29, 2005 - 3:07 AM

Now for an update
I've lined up the kit against the car
to see how it looks, and its look
damn fine
I will be fitting it to the car tomorrow,
but here is a preview





What do you think?

Posted by: blu94gt Dec 29, 2005 - 3:33 AM

well it was sexy...

Posted by: CelicaZR Dec 29, 2005 - 3:57 AM

What do you mean by that?

Posted by: Celicav Dec 29, 2005 - 10:22 AM

Should look hot once all done! Your stock rims still look oh so nice. Just remember to take the kit pieces out of the plastic lol

Posted by: shin Dec 29, 2005 - 10:55 AM

can i have your oem skirts when ya install the varis kit? your celi's gonna be one hell of a sexi momma lol

Posted by: CelicaGT04 Dec 29, 2005 - 1:22 PM

Nice looking celica... very nice

Posted by: blu94gt Dec 29, 2005 - 9:21 PM

nothin personal, I just hate body kits period, especially on our cars. Right now your car is so sexy looking and then you have this GIGANTIC gaudy looking body kit when there's more subtle, stylish options. Just my opinion though.

I can't remember, any suspension work done to the car, or plans of lowering or different wheels? Doing the work yourself?

And I do love the headlights, I wish I could afford them

Posted by: CelicaZR Dec 30, 2005 - 2:14 AM

Thanks CelicaGT04
Thanks Vin, Sorry man I want to keep the oem skirts for later on. just in case.

blu94gt: No offence taken We all have different and thats why we all have different opinions.
I've done strut brace (front and back) and lower arm bar. The latest handling mod I've done was
some new Falken Azenis RT215 tires, very very sticky tires I believe they are better than the
strut brace.


I'll be looking at getting some Rays Engineering wheels as well as Tein SS coilovers, later
on.

Posted by: dustin15brown Dec 31, 2005 - 11:39 AM

I can't wait to see this thing finished....

Posted by: TheStreetzKing Jan 3, 2006 - 11:56 AM

ah i love that freeaking kit so much

Posted by: CelicaZR Mar 1, 2006 - 6:55 AM

Well I've just finish installing new lights for my car.
I installed new plate and reverse lights.
Here are a couple of pics of the number plate.
white Vs stock

white


Here is the reverse lights.
Didnt turn out to well but you can see the differences.

Posted by: malpaso Mar 1, 2006 - 7:44 AM

Oh... How I hate you CelicaZR , now you have (almoust) all modifications I would like to have to on my car too LOL:

- SS-III side skirts
- front fog lights
- mud guards

and to make matters worse:

- JDM Projector Headlights

...at least that you don't have that heated mirrors... There is the one thing I have and you don't

in earnest:
Great look, perfect taste, keep it up!

Posted by: CelicaZR Mar 1, 2006 - 7:53 AM

Thanks Malpaso
I've the JDM power folding mirrors.
But I'm missing the relay
Plus I think I blew one of the motor.

Posted by: malpaso Mar 1, 2006 - 8:01 AM

that's a pity about those mirrors... (If anything goes wrong about the car... It hurts) BTW, what about some rear and front extensions? Share with plans, don't be shy .

Posted by: NaKeD Mar 1, 2006 - 8:31 AM

Posted by: malpaso Mar 1, 2006 - 9:23 AM

Oh... silly me (English malfunction again )

Posted by: frosty Mar 1, 2006 - 12:19 PM

Hey celicazr, I think a cf bonnet will look awesome on a black car. It would be a surprise to those who look at it up close!

Posted by: CelicaZR Mar 5, 2006 - 3:42 AM

Thanks Joe
I love black, but they are a pain to keep clean.
But it is so rewarding when they are clean

Dustin: Thank for the positve comment man
I didnt take those pics, my friend took them (so he deserve all the credit).
I dont have the skills to take photos like that.
Plus he had an expensive camera
I'm really pleased at how they turned out.

Posted by: jgreening Mar 5, 2006 - 4:16 AM

Very nice pics. I also think your stock GT wheels look nice.

Posted by: malpaso Mar 5, 2006 - 5:10 AM

Amazing pictures... unbeleveable...
This one is IMHO the best:

Posted by: DSRT-FX Mar 5, 2006 - 5:21 AM

Mine are polished, which comes on 96+ model.
Hows your pimped out convertible goin?

Malpaso: Thats has got to be one of my favourite shot.

DSRT-FX: Celica is popular here, but the thing is no one

When are you getting your wheels man.
I want to see them on the car

Nibbe: Cheers mate
Cant wait to get them on too.

Update: Well I've waited for this day for so long.
I've put the car into the spray shop to have my
kit fitted and sprayed. I'll be heading out there

Posted by: dustinkemp Apr 3, 2006 - 10:06 AM

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 13, 2006 - 12:43 AM

Dustinkemp: yea I know, it took awhile.
Had to save up and get parents permission.

But it's finally on. I'm sorta pissed off, but happy at the
same, because I was meant to get my car back last friday,
keep coming everyday to check progress... nothing.
But now I've got my baby back, I'm happy as can be.

Here are some pics I just took







Enjoy

Posted by: brianforster Apr 13, 2006 - 12:44 AM

looks great man, but i have to be honest i hate the 3 post spoiler, get a 2 post stat!

Posted by: JFrost9 Apr 13, 2006 - 12:58 AM

That looks so badass, i love the way black looks, and those fogs look sick there, i wanna see a pic at night with it all lit up!!! I agree with Brian though, definately switch to a 2-post, and maybe even throw on some blocks. Either way thats a damn nice celica.

Posted by: j0e_p3t Apr 13, 2006 - 1:06 AM

damn, that is one awesome looking kit. and the new fog lights look nice too. now have another photo shoot like you did last time. very sexy car.

Posted by: DeW_H0e_GT Apr 13, 2006 - 1:19 AM

nice kit...is tat a varis rear?....

Posted by: 95CelicaST Apr 13, 2006 - 3:00 AM

Lucky! I agree with everyone when they say switch to a 2-post, that and get some bigger wheels on it. I would fly down there and take it from you if I could!

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 13, 2006 - 3:33 AM

Thanks for the comments guys
Brian: The spoiler is temporary until I can get a 2 post one

j0e_p3t: Thanks There will be a photoshoot soon, along with many
other 6gcs

Dew_How_GT: Yep, it is a Varis Arising II kit

95CelicaST: Next mods will be some Jap lightweight wheels and coilovers

Posted by: doGGy Apr 13, 2006 - 3:55 AM

Put some Gold VolkRacing CE28N in there and you will be a panty wetter

Damn, this kit is somthing what can turn celica into a pornstar...

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 13, 2006 - 4:01 AM

Thats exactly what I was goin for

Posted by: Volks Apr 13, 2006 - 5:54 AM

Sexy mate, sexy! As the others said, take the spoiler off. Did that to mine and I think it will work spoilerless for awhile. BTW I got a 2 post spoiler if you want it. Was gonna use it once I get blocks but if you want it....

Posted by: BBoYRuGGeD Apr 13, 2006 - 1:38 PM

Posted by: DSRT-FX Apr 14, 2006 - 9:23 PM

i don't know if this is exactly 100% true but you cant directly put on the 2-post wing when you've got the 3-post wing into the boot of our cars because the bolt holes are different .. can anyone confirm coz i would love the 2-post with raiser blocks... -R

and volks: if celicazr don't want can i have dibs on it? lol.. depensd on how much price + shipping..

CelicaZR its really sexy man!!!Fantastic Kit! Always like it.I think its the combination of black color+6gen+varis
Time to get lowered...what do you think?

Posted by: Volks Apr 15, 2006 - 7:55 AM

DSRT-FX: yeah I have sized it up on mine and you will need to drill out new holes to fix the 2 poster on, plus plug the centre hole left by our 3 post spoilers. Haha pity you are both in sydney, would be easier if you were closer

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 15, 2006 - 9:02 AM

Volks: Thanks mate
Definiately interested in the 2 post spoiler.

Recycle: Thanks man

Malpaso: Yea man, I finally got it

azian_advanced: Thanks man
I'll be removing the "GT-Four" when I paint it.
I dont want my car to be whats its not Even though I would
love a GT-4, I just cant rebadge my car as a GT-4.
They are similar to Chanh's wheels, but these are Volks Racing ones

Posted by: mzztoyota Jul 21, 2006 - 9:58 AM

The black is sexy, especially when it's as shiny as your car is

I like it!

Posted by: j0e_p3t Jul 23, 2006 - 4:27 PM

Hey man if you ever get your 2-post on before i do. Let me know how you are going to drill the extra hole we need on the hatch to fit the blocks. I've been trying to figure out how i'm gonna do it. But can't figure it out.

Your cars gonna look sweet when you get them on there. Then ya need to drop it like its hawt.

Posted by: jgreening Jul 26, 2006 - 7:36 PM

Love the mods! Aggressive yet tasteful. Great choice on wheels. You have my vote for the next featured car.

Posted by: 6strngs Jul 27, 2006 - 12:51 AM

Posted by: CelicaZR Jul 28, 2006 - 9:10 AM

celiracer: Thanks man
For the spoiler, I was told by the body shop that they will weld the existing holes for the
3 post spoiler, and drill new ones for the 2 post spoiler and respray the whole hatch.
I'll let you know more details if I do it before you

jgreening: Thanks man
Love your powerful pimpin convertible too
Would love to get featured one day

Posted by: malpaso Aug 7, 2006 - 2:41 AM

That's amazing... unbelevable... see this:



that was my "second choice" what to do with my stock celica. And your one getting damn close to this... There is something strange about Australians (particularly those from Sydney ). Why you always think almost the same like me (yes, Rom is that other one )??!!

Posted by: DSRT-FX Aug 7, 2006 - 8:03 AM

what a change simon... definately alot better than the stock rims, not drop that thang like its hot.. and i'll see you in the next meet -R

haha maybe cause we have good taste we just trying very hard to represent the celica's internationally since australians dont like celica's much here.. -R

Posted by: CelicaZR Aug 7, 2006 - 8:32 AM

dustin15brown: Thanks man
Lovin the new sig

celiracer: Thanks man
Appreciate the positive feedbacks

j0e_p3t: Thanks man:)

6strngs: Thanks man:)

IdiotStick:
6GC will always be a rare breed of car for modifiers,

Good luck with your quest

Posted by: Nibbe Sep 18, 2006 - 6:54 AM

Now that is a really sweet ride. Good job man. What are your future plans? Rims or are you going to stay stock? -N

Posted by: JFrost9 Sep 18, 2006 - 12:23 PM

Those pics are kinda old then huh? Cuz on your last update you had added those 18 in rims and were in the process of adding the 2 post spoiler with the blocks. Im still dying to see your car with the blocks. Congrats on the magazine cover, im glad that such a hot car was able to be featured.

Posted by: DSRT-FX Sep 18, 2006 - 1:06 PM

Hi 6gcers
I thought I'll give you guys an update on my ride.
I've just installed some rare JDM door sills





I also brought a space-saver wheel, so I can lose the full size one and lose the lump
in the boot for a sound system;)

Posted by: Culpable04 Dec 7, 2006 - 6:39 PM

finally I see them on !
looks perfect

Posted by: ImportChick95 Dec 7, 2006 - 6:51 PM

I'm jealous. Any idea if those cheap stick-on aluminum sills on ebay any good??

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 9, 2007 - 6:49 AM

recycle: Thanks for the plates man
Look forward to receiving your next package
Your is getting packed

Slick: Thanks mate
Nice ride you got there too!

tomazws: Thanks buddy
You got a nice and clean car too!

mikeismad0408: Thanks for the bump buddy
Well nothing much has really happened since.
Still waiting on DCW for some stuff
Trying to source some coilovers for it.

But the main reason for the lack of mods recently is this:





This is my new daily driver
1st mod is JDM tails, looks so much sexier
http://www.praet0r.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=8851

Posted by: goferris Apr 9, 2007 - 10:45 PM

i just have a couple things to say
1 DAMN your car is HOTT
2 I love your license plate # ND4 5PD if i got a custom plate i would want it on a lifted truck that says 3M TA3 that way in the rear view it says EAT ME
3 when are you going to put on the 2 poster with the risers? i think that would be the finishing touch.
4 and lastly. I am so jealous of all you aussies! you have all the sweet cars from the ZR to the GT4. whilst all we americans only have the GT.
very nice job on the car and on getting the 6GC some representation.

Posted by: CelicaZR Nov 19, 2007 - 4:39 PM

Here are a couple of pics from the other night

Wow... it has been awhile since I've updated this thread.
Not much has really happened, cause I just brought a motorbike to add to my collection of vehicles
I guess that explains the late of mods lately
The latest mod I think is the HID (GT-HID 6000K). I love them. Love the pure white light it gives out.
Will post a pic of them on soon.
Still trying to find a nice set of Teins to lower it, but having no luck.

goferris: Thanks for buddy
2 post spoiler will get on there eventually

Posted by: xs94st Nov 19, 2007 - 9:16 PM

bloody hell that thing is shiny!!

nice job ZR!

Posted by: spolski07 Nov 20, 2007 - 3:44 AM

do you have this in 1034X768?

Posted by: CelicaZR Dec 17, 2007 - 3:48 AM

xs94st: Thanks mate
I love my cars clean


Latest Update:

I've just got a new car alarm installed
After hearing alot of stories about car being stolen or broken into,
I decided it was time to upgrade from the factory alarm.

It has all the security features an alarm can have (3 point immobiliser, sensors, etc).
But I've got the alarm guy to add some special features to it like window lifters, mirror fold-in and sunroof closure

We activated the turbo timer feature on the alarm to allow the car to run for a minute after the key in taken out of the ignition.
This allow the window lifters, mirrors fold-in and sunroof closure to work, without putting stress on the circuit /battery.
The sunroof closure was probably the hardest thing to wire up and get working properly because of how its stop halfway.
The mirrors fold-in when the car is armed and open out when disarmed.

Enjoy

Posted by: toyocelic Jan 16, 2008 - 1:36 AM

whats is the actual color name of you celica?..OH the the celica in motion...brilliant

Posted by: xs94st Jan 16, 2008 - 1:45 AM

shweet..anyway you can post how you wired the sunroof to close? thats seriously the only thing i forget when i lock my car..i walk 50 feet away then ask myself 'did i close it?' n then have to walk all the way back..

very nice

Posted by: CelicaZR Jan 16, 2008 - 2:59 PM

Thanks mate!
its the stock black colour
I can get the colour code if you want.

Posted by: CelicaZR Jan 16, 2008 - 3:02 PM

I would if I knew how
I got an alarm guy to install it for me.
All I know it was a pain in the ass for him to get that to work:p

Posted by: GriffGirl Jan 16, 2008 - 4:21 PM

That's AWESOME! Man, I'd just be happy if I even HAD a sunroof or power windows!

Posted by: CelicaZR Mar 8, 2008 - 7:56 AM

Thanks GriffGirl

Here are some pics from a cruise i went to recently...







If only people moved out of the way

Posted by: azian_advanced Mar 8, 2008 - 8:41 AM

love your car....
i'm so jealous the weather there is like the total opposite of what it is here...

i'm also impressed in the way you got your alarm to close the windows and sunroof like that... actually i'm more impressed about the sunroof.. do you know if the alarm installer guy had to build a new circuit board with capacitors and stuff in order to close the sunroof fully?

Posted by: j0e_p3t Mar 8, 2008 - 2:09 PM

sweet pics. i'm sure someone can ps those people out.

Posted by: hongkongnerdboy Mar 8, 2008 - 2:22 PM

Japanparts.com

It's made by Varis.

Posted by: _mikeE Mar 12, 2008 - 12:26 AM

Sweet ride, and yes jealous also because of the weather. Your car looks like in perfect shape, all you need now is a suspension drop

Posted by: CelicaZR Mar 19, 2009 - 7:29 AM

Wow... it has been a year since I've updated my thread

And what better way of celebrating that with some JDM goodies.

JDM Celica Carpet



JDM Celica Boot Mat

The Silver SX is currently at the workshop getting repaired!
Thanks to some dumbass that done hit and run
Hopefully get it back soon.
But yea not goin crazy with that one. Its a daily and an auto

Posted by: 95st-celica Mar 27, 2009 - 9:34 PM

Posted by: Bigblock Mar 27, 2009 - 9:48 PM

What wash and wax do you use?

Posted by: CelicaZR Mar 30, 2009 - 5:20 PM

95st-celica: I'm still unsure about the GT-4 wing
Not sure how it will look on the car

Bigblock: Just wash it with water weekly
I havent polish or wax it in ages. Hopefully I'll do it soon though
I use Maguiars stuff

Posted by: MrAyasli Sep 7, 2009 - 6:24 AM

Nice photos at Olympic Park

Love your celica. I want mine to look like yours

Posted by: delusionz Dec 9, 2009 - 6:37 PM

Done anything with that White 1998 GT-Four spoiler? I could deffo use that

Actually, If possible, Would you be able to give me a good straight picture of it side on? I'd be able to use the pics to line up the GT4 badge when I paint my spoiler white (just got a Silver 1998 SS-III spoiler for my white '96 GT4)

Posted by: CelicaZR Dec 21, 2010 - 4:40 PM

Well it has been awhile since I've updated
Not much has changed.
The car is now a daily driver ( was a weekend car ) unfortunately its too expensive to maintain 2 cars in Sydney

Ive re-tinted the windows to 20% now
Repainted the wheels as paint was starting to peel.



and have hit the milestone the other day

Posted by: trebilihp Dec 21, 2010 - 5:20 PM

100000km, that is a brand new car you got (mines heading for 230000km)! I like what you've done with the car, looks pretty sweet. Unlike some others, I think the 3 posts spoiler looks good on your car. I couldn't say why but, it fits better on black 6gc than on any other color.

Was the SX a 1.8L or just another version on the 2.2L? Or was it bigger? Oh, and just as an info, when you changed the dashboard lights, was it just like plug'n'play with some kind of LEDs?

Keep on the good work.

Posted by: CelicaZR Dec 21, 2010 - 5:46 PM

Thanks trebilihp
Car still drives very well I babied it
Yea I dont mind the 3 post spoiler. I guess thats why I havent changed it yet ( I do have a 2 post sitting at home)

SX has the same motor, just less features - its the base model.

For the dashboard lights I use a brand call Polarg. The are not LEDs

Posted by: trebilihp Dec 21, 2010 - 9:10 PM

Cool, I'd like to change the gauge's lights too, cause mine (are actually light green fading away..) And I'd like to get some withe ones, that would make the needles shine like yours! I'll check for those bulbs. How much bulbs do we need to fully replace them?

It's quite funny for the SX model, cause I got an ST, and it came with the crappy 1.8L, but fully equiped... Anyways, I'm still happy with the power kit, even if the engine is a little cowy.

Posted by: eboz74 Dec 21, 2010 - 10:40 PM

i just ordered all the lights for my interior

i bought 20 74 LED white and 10 196 LED White

Posted by: trebilihp Dec 22, 2010 - 12:30 AM

Oh, that makes alot of bulbs... How much did it cost you?

Posted by: mkernz22 Dec 22, 2010 - 12:15 PM

do we even have that many in our car?

besides, if it's for you gauges than your missing the 3 main back lights lmaoo


Edit: sorry for getting off topic
I love the car though, I read though the whole thread the other day!

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 23, 2012 - 8:16 PM

Hey CelicaZR,

So there are 6GC'ers in Australia, they are just all in Sydney!

I just read all the way through your thread, and your car looks really nice

I am EXTREMELY jealous of your alarm system and power folding mirrors... that is something I definitely want to do when I have the time and money!

I notice you haven't updated your thread in a little while. How is the 6GC going? Any more updates?

I also wanted to let you know that a lot of your picture links have died now, including all of the amazing photo shoot ones on Page 5 that I went to see.

Cya,
Josh

Thanks mate




Thanks Josh

There are 6GCers in Australia

The alarms and its features are very cool PIA for the installer

I've still got the 6GC, its just sitting in the garage under a cover I've gone back in time and started restoring 1GC
It wont be going anywhere. Still fall in love with it everytime i open the garage door
Not much has happened since the last update i think. Next time I wash it I'll take some more photos.

I think I still have those pics on the HDD somewhere.
If I have time I'll put some of them back up again.
Enjoy your 6GC. Hope you'll stick around for a long time

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 27, 2012 - 5:22 AM

Hmmm... PITA for installers probably means I won't be able to afford it for a while But I plan to be sticking around for a few years at least

Its funny you say that, because just after I got my 6GC, one of my best mates just started saving up to get a 1GC to play with

Good to see you haven't forgotten about yours

Cya,
Josh

P.S. Have you reverted to a stock front bumper with the front lip/skirts on the sides at the front? Or does the body kit just look deceiving on the side in those last pics?

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 28, 2012 - 2:01 AM

Nope the Varis kit on there
Dont think I can go back to the stock one now
I've got a thread one my other ride in off topic

Posted by: Lil-Joe101 Apr 29, 2012 - 6:10 PM

Hey fellow Varis kit owner, lol. I was wonderin are planning on lowerin it any time soon?

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 29, 2012 - 6:36 PM

Hello
Glad to see someone else got great taste too
Yea planning on getting some Tein SS when I stop spending money on my other toys

Posted by: Lil-Joe101 Apr 30, 2012 - 12:33 AM

Posted by: specter1001 May 2, 2012 - 11:52 PM

great project there man, i enjoyed reading through all the progress you have made and have even gathered some ideas for my own car from this thread, cant wait for the next update

Posted by: CelicaZR May 3, 2012 - 6:36 PM

Thanks Specter
Good to hear you got something out of it, cant wait to see what you do with yours

Posted by: CelicaZR Dec 18, 2012 - 6:33 PM

Took it out of the garage for the first time in ages... still love it

Posted by: kurt95gt Dec 18, 2012 - 6:35 PM

Finally!!!!

Posted by: Lexa666 Dec 25, 2012 - 7:55 AM

You need low springs
I keep thinking to remake it under the hood bumper GT4?What do you think?

Posted by: CelicaZR Dec 26, 2012 - 4:13 PM

Yes I know Kurt.. been awhile.. Aim is to get it registered in April




Yep car needs to be lowered... was thinking ill go coilovers.. will wait till i get it registered

Posted by: S8S8 Dec 27, 2012 - 6:27 PM

Coilovers are a good option. I went with BC Racing which were around $1,300 shipped and very easy to instal at home.

Car is looking great BTW.

Posted by: Neon90424 Dec 27, 2012 - 6:42 PM

BC set me back 1000$ you over paid.

Edit: just noticed ur in australia so maybe not.

Posted by: Hamburgler Jan 5, 2013 - 11:05 PM

Beautiful celica man. Ha, I'm a bit late to the party but oh well. Inspiring

Posted by: CelicaZR Jan 6, 2013 - 7:04 PM

Thanks man Yea BC are also on my list for coilover has driven 2 6gcs with them.. they are good..
Glad to hear your keeping your beast




yep unfortunately thats the goin rate for them here




Thanks man Better late then never look forward to seeing your build too

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 1, 2013 - 5:08 PM

After 9 years of ownership.. its still love at first sight

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 2, 2013 - 6:14 AM

It's still alive!

Looking good, did you take it for a spin or just sit and stare?

Posted by: match220 Apr 2, 2013 - 7:07 AM

where do I get side skirts like that? Are they stock for the 96+ celicas? My 95 convertible just has the straight rough textured black ones.

edit: I was referring to the first post. I just saw that you put a body kit on in the last couple posts. What is that front bumper though?

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 2, 2013 - 8:13 AM

I am also in Australia with a '97 ZR Celica. Those sideskirts from the original photos are standard on all post-facelift ZR Celicas in Australia, and were an optional extra on the other models. I believe they are exactly the same as the SSIII side skirts.

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 2, 2013 - 3:38 PM

Thanks Josh!
Yes its still alive
Well i did drive it... out of the garage.. lol
washed it... and just stare at it...
Sydney is getting to exxy to do anything nowadays...
Was reading your thread... Car looking hot buddy



Yep Josh is correct. The first pics of the car is the OEM sideskirt. Was standard on the ZR (facelift) in Australia, GT in America also had them (need to confirm but pretty sure). It was on the SS-III in Japan (maybe other model too).

Ebay US has a few of them last time i checked

The current pics you see there is the Varis Arising II kit (front, back and side)

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 2, 2013 - 6:50 PM

Hehe, thank you

And it is expensive... But then again I think the system is designed for people with one car... Maybe even two or three... Not six mint celicas! (/variations of Mazda and Toyota that come and go... I must read you off topic thread again ).

Posted by: 1soljaslim5 Apr 2, 2013 - 11:20 PM

what sideskirts are those?
im looking for a set for mine

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 3, 2013 - 1:59 AM

...



...

Well, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it is a Varis Arising II kit -.-

Posted on the same day and everything

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 8, 2014 - 2:32 AM

So after 3 years off the road its finally back

http://s11.photobucket.com/user/CelicaZR/media/20140408_1719221_zps660c58e4.jpg.html

Spent a fortune getting the major service done (timing belt, water pump etc)
and then spent more getting registered.
But it was worth it, miss driving it
Will be doin more mods since its back on the road.

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 8, 2014 - 2:37 AM

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!


Awesome news

Posted by: MarbleFlame Apr 8, 2014 - 3:30 AM

TRD spoiler!! NOW! Great looking car mate

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 8, 2014 - 4:19 AM

Its been like 7 years... but do you still have the GT-FOUR spoiler ready to paint up?

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 8, 2014 - 5:13 AM

Thanks Marbleflame



Im pretty sure it was last registered in 2011 (but could be wrong) lol
Yep still got the GT4 spoiler still deciding if it will look good.
Need to upgrade the sound system and some lowering

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 8, 2014 - 5:26 AM

I was meaning since you were last being bugged to install the spoiler

http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f138871159

I just came across those in Japan... they will need to be rebuilt so they'll probably cost the same as a new set of BC's.... but they're TEIN

There is also a C-One spoiler for sale in Japan at the moment (in black). Shipping is expensive on spoilers, but I think that style may compliment your Varis kit well The GT4 and TRD ones would too though.

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 9, 2014 - 4:30 PM

ooh Teins... i want a set of those.. is there any in great condition Josh?

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 11, 2014 - 12:33 AM

Nah, they very rarely come up at all (Maybe one set a month that I see), and they always have faults listed (mainly just 'slow rebound' like this one). Sometimes they are up for twice this amount though.

Posted by: lipweb Apr 11, 2014 - 9:58 PM

Nice car. Looks real clean.

Posted by: Lil-Joe101 Apr 11, 2014 - 10:12 PM

Man that car just looks so familiar. I cant seem to put my finger on why though, hhhhmmmm

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 13, 2014 - 5:43 AM

Yea.. I did find some on ebay brand new.
So I might get a set of those when I have the $$$



Thanks mate



Yea I'm not sure what your talking about

Posted by: Tomski Apr 14, 2014 - 7:31 AM

Hey CelicaZR,

Welcome back mate! I have only had my 6GC for just over a year now but to see that you still love your one after 9 years is awesome. I am also located in Sydney along with "rentaspace". We have had a few meet ups within the last month so we should meet up for a cruise in the near future. Would love to see the mods you have on your car especially a black one . Gives me something to look forward too!

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 15, 2014 - 4:27 AM

Sounds good Tomski
Always up for a 6GC meet up

Posted by: MarbleFlame Apr 15, 2014 - 5:31 AM

I'd come.. If only I wasn't 800ks away!

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 16, 2014 - 5:37 PM

Posted by: JoshuaM Apr 16, 2014 - 6:16 PM

I'm 950km.... I'll come to one of the meets one day... Maybe I'll be in a st205 by then though

Posted by: MarbleFlame Apr 16, 2014 - 6:24 PM

Posted by: rentaspace Apr 21, 2015 - 9:39 PM

There is quite a few of us sydney siders around at the moment, we are a bit scattered about though.

Posted by: malpaso Apr 23, 2015 - 1:58 AM

it's the same with me . Since I finished my SS-four last year there is not much to share now. After five years...

Posted by: CelicaZR Apr 23, 2015 - 5:14 PM

How about us 6GCers sydney siders get together for the Classic Celica Appreciation Day

Classic Celica Appreciation Day
Sunday 24th of May 2015

Toymods 8th Annual Classic Celica Appreciation day is a great family day out in a relaxing environment with a good BBQ and some wicked Celica's to admire. As we have done in previous years, we will be allowing all generations of Celica into the park facing off the classics against the late models.

Everyone is welcome, you don't need to own or even want a Classic Celica to be part of the day but if you own one, and you don't come, you need a slap in the back of the head !

If you own a Classic Celica (running or not) or just wish you did then the Classic Celica Appreciation day is the one day of the year to make sure your available.

From the Sydney meet point we will cruise out to Wisemans Ferry and The Celica's will move into the park itself for some group shots and all others in attendance are encouraged to make the most of the great location and get some great pics in the park as well. There are some fantastic photo opportunities in the grounds for all so bring your cameras.

The Central Coast/Newcastle and Canberra guys & gals will of course meet up at their own respective meeting points and cruise up to Sydney, meeting us at either The Ettamogah Pub or at Wisemans Ferry.
The Wisemans Ferry destination is aimed at providing a suitable location (distance traveling wise) for both the Newcastle and Canberra crowd and we look forward to trying to break our Classic Celica attendance record.
For the Central Coast Newy & Canberra Guys please let me know of your meet points and I'll post them below.

So Bring your Family, your CB if you have one, a full tank of fuel, money for the BBQ and something to sit on !!


Details are as follows:

Sydney Group
Time: 11:00am for a 11:30am Leave
Meeting point: Ettamogah Pub
Corner of Windsor Road and Merriville Rd Kellyville Ridge
Destination: Wisemans Ferry






Once you get to that point where your happy with your car. I think its best to maintain and enjoy your the fruit of your labor
I'm still not quite there yet

Posted by: JFXtreme007 Apr 24, 2015 - 12:59 AM
