6G Celicas Forums _ My Project _ Zoocsijr's 1995 Celica

Posted by: zoocsijr Apr 12, 2013 - 3:29 AM

Hi Guys!

I have been 6GC on a while so I tought I should introduce my White Beauty! I bought my Celica in 2008 with fresh paintjob and 210k km in the clock. It was my first car. It was love at first sight. I was pleased with it for a long time, but I started to read 6GC forums and I got inspirated with most of your ride, so I wanted more...

List of planned mods:
-JDM tail lights (i think it's a must have mod for a Celi)
-OEM skirts
-SS-III rear splitters
-SS-III or Euro front lip (haven't decided yet)
-SPREE Led kit (full white kit)
-new rims (started to save money for some fancy wheels)
-JDM door sills

Here are the first pics after I bought her:

After I got her I removed the decals, and fixed some electrical problems. Installed sound system: Pioneer DEH-P6900 head unit, Infinity Reference speakers, JBL amp and JBL subwoofer. Then enjoyed to driving it...

A trip in Croatia:

I bought some of the parts listed above, and waiting them to get things started...

the car looks clean mate, but the rims look out of place...


Posted by: zoocsijr Apr 12, 2013 - 1:28 PM

Thank you! You're right...hopefully getting new rims soon, I am looking for some Rota Drift or Torque maybe.

Posted by: zoocsijr Apr 13, 2013 - 4:51 AM

Parts came with post today...euro front lips, skirts, SS-III rear splitters, and a front sway bar. Can't wait to see them fitted!

Everytime i see a white celi so clean, it makes me regret getting black haha looks good!

off topic: My stepdad knows where you are haha he was born and raised in Budapest..

Posted by: zoocsijr Apr 15, 2013 - 5:36 AM

First I wanted a black one but when i saw her in white I changed my mind! biggrin.gif Greeting to your stepdad Mate! laugh.gif

Posted by: zoocsijr May 13, 2013 - 3:49 AM

Finally I got the euro front lips, OEM skirts and SS-III rears painted, and fitted. I am very pleased with the result. The car looks soo much better. laugh.gif biggrin.gif The weather wasn't too kind but I made some pics. Here are the result:

Very nice car man, coming along very well smile.gif

I agree that the rims look out of place for the style of the car... But everything else looks mad smile.gif

Thank you! I agree with you! Next mod will be the rims...but hard to decide. My personal favourit is ADVAN RG-II, but I have to save some money for them. But I quite like Drag Wheels, especially DR-9, DR-25, and DR34 with polished lip and gunmetal finish. Opinions welcomed... tongue.gif

I like the DR34 in black on a white car... I always like black rims, showing a bit of the caliper when on a white car smile.gif
Gunmetal should look good too smile.gif

Posted by: SwissFerdi May 13, 2013 - 7:32 AM

That is the exact splitter combination I would choose for my car, well done. Looks excellent. Those wheels look like Audi TT fat fives.

Posted by: zoocsijr May 18, 2013 - 4:40 AM

Just a few more pics enjoying the good weather and the pleasure of driving... laugh.gif

JDM tails ASAP! The euro fronts look very good, they stick out just enough to stand right between subtle and notoceable.

Thank you! First I would change the wheels, but I hardly decide. I also look after a nice and affordable set of JDM tails. I hope they'll be on their way to Hungary soon! kindasad.gif

great progress so far. what kind of wheels are you looking to get?

Thank You! I'm thinking to buy a set of Drag DR9 in gold or gunmetal finish. Or I try to save a bit for a set of Rota Drift.

Posted by: zoocsijr Jun 5, 2013 - 1:46 PM

I finally got my hands on a set of JDM tails. Luckily I found it here in Hungary so I don't need Ebaying one. One of a fellow Celica owner is making a track weapon from his gt4 and he don't need them any more. Sorry for pics, I made them with cell phone.

Nice!

Posted by: zoocsijr Jun 10, 2013 - 4:49 AM

Nothing special. Just bored yesterday and made some proper pics from the JDM tails. And applied some decals that one of my friend made. To be correct my girlfriend applied them, she loves the Celi as much as I. biggrin.gif

Still can't decide about the wheels. I read the "Offical post your wheels" thread so many times. I always end up on the Drag DR-9 bronze or gunmetal finish with machined lip. Almost looks like Volk CE28n but reasonable price.

Posted by: zoocsijr Jul 22, 2013 - 9:00 AM

Nothing special, just got some time today, so I gave her a wash and went out with my camera, and made some pics...I still need to improve my photo skills, but here are the results. tongue.gif

I need to colour code my euro splitters after seeing this.. Looks great mate! Some lovely photo's... bowdown.gif

I just noticed you don't have the black covers over the support bars in your grill. Nice pics though. smile.gif

Thank you Guys! I really appreciate your replies! tongue.gif I hit a cat last year (there are so many crazy cats and deers over here naahh... laugh.gif ) so I had a crack on the front that I have had to fix and it's ended up like this. rolleyes.gif

Posted by: zoocsijr Aug 12, 2013 - 7:12 AM

Got some packages by the post. Just some detailing in the interior. A new shift knob and TOM'S shoulder pads. tongue.gif I also fixed my armrest, because it was broken. Made some interior shots.

New set of wheels ordered, they will be arrive soon. Can't wait. laugh.gif biggrin.gif

Hehh I don't know, but it's comfortable to change gears! laugh.gif

I stayed at my first toughts and ordered a set of DRAG DR-9 in gold finish with machined lip. I wanted bronze but the dealer told me they don't have in stock so he gave me a little discount on the golds, and if I don't like them I can custom paint them. laugh.gif biggrin.gif

Posted by: JoshuaM Aug 15, 2013 - 8:25 AM


Sounds good - I preferred the gold anyway!!! tongue.gif

Looking forward to seeing them on smile.gif

Just a quick snap. I have the car about 6 years now but everytime I left it somewhere I take a glance back, and have the feeling "dammn how beautiful". tongue.gif

Still waiting for my wheels, as lons as can take my hands on them I made some engine bay detailing, and installed front strut brace.

We had some free time on weekend with my girlfriend so we deccided to have a road trip. I planned it a while, finally both of us was free, the weather was nice, the Celi was full on gas...

It was a 700 km (430 mile) drive around the lake Balaton, and across the middle of the country. Beautiful places, nice wiew, hills and winding roads, so we had a great time. biggrin.gif

I noticed soo much brake dust on my rears, I think I should do something whith the brakes to upgrade them, maybe some slotted or drilled rotors... tongue.gif

Posted by: zoocsijr Sep 21, 2013 - 1:14 PM

Today I had a little maintenance on the Celi. Changed the oil and filters. New bushings all around and new rear wheel bearings. Also installed my front strut bar. I painted it myself to white I quite satisfied with the result. biggrin.gif

Just like in a proffesional body shop.. laugh.gif

Thank You Joshua! You were right I ordered them in gold finish but I got another call from the dealer, they only have these on black and silver finish. It was a bit embarrassing, but now I see them fitted and I think they looks well! biggrin.gif

A picture from the front:

http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/zoocsijr/media/20130926_122524_zps3cb730e1.jpg.html

The old wheels were 7.5x17 ET32, these are 8x17 ET45, I thinking of 20 mm spacers, would it fit right?

Posted by: zoocsijr Oct 4, 2013 - 12:05 PM

I've never posted my engine bay, so... nothing special just a poor 7AFE, strut bar, trd oil cap and trd radiator cap. It runs well, just a bit low on power. tongue.gif laugh.gif

Hello Everybody! Haven't been here a while. Nothing minor changes because I didn't had much time for the Celi. It almost has 300k km in the clock, next year she will be 20 years old, and the car drives fine. Only had to change the rear brake discs and pads, and the coilovers, also had to change the windshield because I hit a huge pothole about 120km/h and the glass cracked. kindasad.gif tongue.gif

On this summer one of my friends came to my help and painted the rims white, the lips left to machined. I love white on white. I also ordered a set of volk lug nuts i like them very much. Still need spacer or new set of wheels... biggrin.gif

There are some future plans for the winter:

-TRD rear splitters
-facelift front bumber and SS-III lips
-SPREE led kit
-upholster my OMP steering wheel
-spacers or another set of wheels

I'm not sure in this mods and not sure to invest more to the Celi, I'm thinking to get an MR2 SW20 turbo as a new toy. This going to be a long winter... biggrin.gif

you've done a great job keeping it clean. smile.gif

The Celica looks nice. If you can afford it, go for the second RWD car - it is a great luxury. FWD for relaxed DD'ing, RWD fun when you want it.

Hi mates! I had to update my progression. This year a refurbished the steering wheel and scored a set of new wheels. woot.gif

http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/zoocsijr/media/20150326_151702_zpsaxkg3h5z.jpg.html

I bought a set of Rays Volk Racing C-Ultras. I always loved the three spoke desing. After a good polish and some gunmetal finish they look just as new. Can't believe these wheels have been made in 1995, in the same year as the car. laugh.gif
Added new 215/40r17 tires and 25mm spacers all around and here is the result...
