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 run h&r spacers. my rims have a different offset than yours so you'd want to calculate that for your set.

If your building a gt4 replica might as well stick with and go the the 3sgte.

Great build by the way man. pretty clean.

I was contemplating on whether to get skirts or not before I got it resprayed. But I decided I preferred the clean untouched look. If I did want to get any bodykit, it would have to be the TRD skirts, with the front and rear lips. I would definately love projectors....who wouldn't. But for the time being I think that money would be better spent on the engine conversion.

Whats the offset of your wheels? I have 25mm Spacers all around too, bet it will look real similar, which I think looks good. smile.gif

Man, your car is hot, what size tyres/wheels have you got? Honestly I have no idea what the offset of my wheels are. If mine ends up looking anything like yours, i'll be loving life. I tried on a 30mm spacer on the rear, at the place I ordered them from. It looked awesome, but it looked like it may have issues with scrubbing. But mainly the reason I chose the 25mm's was price, they were much cheaper because they're a standard item, whereas the 30mm would have to be custom made he reckons. I paid $220 for 25mm for on all four.

I finally got my 30mm spacers front and back fitted. My wheels are 40 offset. It did scrub at first, but then some massaging soon sorted that out.

I must say i'm really happy with the result. What do you think?

This is in the workshop getting fitted with the spacers



And the result:











The sucked in look bugged me for so long, I am happy with the way it looks, now I want to work on the interior and engine conversion
