Ok....sooo....I know it's a bit late for me to start it but might as well do it now. Lol. I bought my 1997 Toyota Celica GT for $4,500 on February 27, 2012. It had 175,000 miles on the cluster. It was in very good condition. The only problem I had on it was it had a CEL light on. Which was just the speed sensor in the cluster not working. Replaced that and the CEL was cleared. Also my car didn't pass emissions test but I eventually had that fixed after running on premium and Lucas Cleaner. Overall I was more than happy to pay the overpriced $4500. smile.gif

Winner of May 2014 COTM

Very ricey and not my flavor.

Here's a link to my FB album of my car. It has all of my pics of my silly97.
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2...0238&type=3

Here some things my car had on when I first bought it:

Bone stock performance
7GC GTS Rims
AG Lowering Springs
JDM Tail lights
Stock side skirts
2post spoiler
Rear tinted windows
Window stickers




Here's what I've done to it so far:

Performance
Injen Short Ram Intake


Suspension
Megan Coilovers


Ichiba Spacers 15mm and extended lug studs all around


Eibach Camber Bolt


Fender Rolled All Around



Exterior
3k Hi halogen bulb


8k Lo HiD conversion
3k halogen fog light bulb
Amber turn signal bulb


Clear side lights


TRD Roof Spoiler REPLICA(Hi-C)


OEM SSIII front grill
Tom's Front Lip REPLICA(Zonz540)


Enkei RPF1 17x8 +45Front +35Rear
Nankang NS1 205/40/17



Interior
TRD Shift Boot


SpreeLED White Gauge Lights


GT4 Rear Strut Bar




I do have a set of GT4 splitters that are waiting to be painted.



The rest of my plans for my car is to get it repainted and installed with the gt4 splitters. I want to go wit the Supra Limited Edition Silver code 1B9. I also want to get a custom exhaust. I really want the JDM projectors also. We will see what else will be added onto my list as days goes by. Lol. Also I'm planning to keep my silly FOREVER!!! XD

How it looks before:



How it looks now:

FINALLY! I have looked for this before and couldn't believe you hadn't made one yet! tongue.gif

I can't remember if its actually been said or if I was just planning to say it, but I was always very interested in your thread, because I also bought a Silver '97 Celica GT-equiv. manual in March last year for my first car tongue.gif It amazed me how much you had done in the same time that I hadn't... But I'm getting my act together now and just put 7th gen wheels on too... Hopefully I'll beat you to the projector headlights soon wink.gif

Edit: And your overpriced $4500... I paid $8k and had to fly to the other side of the country to get it! tongue.gif

I never really thought of making one actually. Until Ryan convinced me. Lol. Silver and teal is my face colors on our 6gc btw. We will see who gets them projectors. Haha. Dang. You really did pay a lot then. Lol. I thought I had it bad.

Yea. Im actually lower than that right now so I have to come at my driveway at a hard angle or I'll scrape. Lol. Earlier today I went over speed bumps at the mall parking lot. I drove my front wheel over and once it went over I heard the bottom of my frame scrape. Lol. Its too much so ima lift it up a bit tomorrow. Drop it back down when I want to again. Lol.

It makes me think that the GT4 splitters only came stock with red GT4. LOL! J/p. Yea. Sorry to grab the lip off of you but it was one of the two lips that I wanted to get for my car and it was already silver so I had to get it. Lol.

BTW. I raised my car. Raised the rear up like 1/4" and the front 3/4". So now I don't have to worry about scraping my bottom frame over speed bumps and scraping my front lip. smile.gif

EDIT: Finally got around and took a pic. It's still low but not too low. Just about perfect height for DD to clear them speed bumps and driveways. wink.gif

This forum is full of good looking Celicas. smile.gif

A noob question, did you roll it so when you drop it the tires won't hit the fender?

Also, do you have any pictures of the SpreeLED kit and some pictures of the process. Or it's just 3 LEDs that you plug/unplug and done?

Thanks. Yea. Its recommended to roll at least the rear febders for our cars if you want to go low. The front is already factory rolled but id still recommend getting it rolled.

The spreeled kit that I bought was for the cluster and the climate and clock but I only installed the cluster because the other two was too complex for me. Lol. Only pic I have of it is the one I have above.

Got done with 3 hrs of sanding. All i need to do now is prime it, paint it, and gloss it. Can't wait for it to be done and installed! This is my first time ever prepping anything for a repaint. wink.gif

You just need to know what color you need. Mine has aftermarket paint and the previous owner didn't let me know what color my was but I made a guess that it was quicksilver and indeed it was. Perfect match. Lol.

Yea I know we do. Lol. Once I put the splits on and your car dropped, then our cars well be identical. Would be funny if we both get projectors at the same time In the future too. Haha.

At least it's limited edition. The gt doesn't have much of a big power difference. Lol.


Until you slap a turbo on it properly...

True that. I wouldn't mind having a 5sfte but then again. It's Cali. Lol.

Sorry for the late update. Been busy working. But here's how the trd rear splits turned out. Didn't fit perfect for some reason and I broke off the rivets on the right side brace while installing it.

Fiiinally tongue.gif You had yours painted a while before I got mine, but I've been driving around with mine fitted for a couple of weeks now tongue.gif

Its a shame that the color match wasn't perfect... But they still look good:) definitely needed on there to go with all that low and your front and skirts.

So now the race for the projectors are on tongue.gif Mine should be arriving in a week or two... But I won't be able to put them on until after exams finish mid-June... So you still have time tongue.gif

Yea it was a shame but it's ok. It was meant to look ok til my paint job in a couple of years. Lol. Im trying to get my hands on projectors too. Just looking around for a decent price. I'm not really looking forward to that hassle of removing the front bumper along with my front lip. Pain in the ass. Lol.

I got mine for roughly $600 after tax and shipping. I was lucky and found it in the same state as me. Also the guy is using greyhound so it's cheaper. I'll be waiting, I'm guessing 1-2 weeks? Haven't got my tracking number yet. If you want a set Mahlar95 is actually selling his for a good price. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=89322

Ahh okay. That's nice that you could get them relatively locally. Much less worry with damage / loss in transit.

Thanks for the heads up, but since I'm down in Australia and there are practically none here, it was easiest for me to order directly form Japan. I paid for them about 3 weeks ago, but to make shipping reasonable it is going via sea freight, and will take '4-6 weeks'. That means you could still get your before me! mad.gif

Don't worry, you'll all know as soon as they arrive tongue.gif

Haha, well sorry to thread-jack but for my stuff (full set projector headlights + power folding wing mirrors and relay) it was 8450 yen for sea mail ($83.20) or 19800 yen for EMS express ($195)... So a pretty decent difference tongue.gif Unfortunately though most shops in Japan will only ship EMS... So you need somebody private to actually help save you the money tongue.gif

If I was asked to trade mine for a st205. I don't think I would. Reason is, is because I put too much love into my st204 already. No one can replace her. smile.gif

I know the one you're talking about... But that is an astronomical asking price... Not a selling price. They commonly get advertised around the $20-22k mark and sit for quite a while (some I have seen there from at least 6 months ago at that price). The only one I have seen in person was a completely original minter that sold for $18k after sitting for a while around the 20 mark. A personal import model sold 2 weeks ago for under $12k (albeit quickly). So they aren't cheap, but they aren't that ridiculous tongue.gif Better value than a full 3S-GTE swap here IMHO.

In any case, we're thread jacking again.... tongue.gif

H1 HiD bulbs came in and as expected. Tested it and they are plug and play with my 9006 ballast. Also going to down my lighting from 8k to 5k. The 8k wasn't really visible at night especially in the rain at night. Can barely even see the painted lane marks.

Now just waiting on my projectors to come in so I can get started on fitting the H1 bulbs into the lo beam housing and find a way to get my accent lights working. At least my accent lights are coming with the sockets but I don't know if the bulbs are going to be in there.

Got my H1 Hid bulb inserted in the housing. I used LewFX method to get my HiD's installed.
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=42381


I used UTSlickVic's method to connect the accent socket. Just need to splice the other end into my parking/turn lights.
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...7&hl=accent


All that's left is to take off my bumper and actually get them installed. Only thing I really need to do is find a way to wire my accent lights into my parking or turn light wires.

That and blinding people is never nice. With the proper cutoff you should be able to run HID's in the low beams also.

I did it simply because the hot spot of light is right where the cutoff flicks up, right into oncoming traffic. The mod is a lot easier than I thought it would be. The lights are very easy to disassemble.

Yea I tested them with my hids on and it seems like both lights need to be cut off if I'm correct. Since both are angled up to incoming traffic.

damn, you and JoshuaM are way ahead of me. I gotta get me some projectors so I can keep up with you two! hahahah.

if only it were possible I would love to get our cars together and shoot photos of them. lol!


Yea I would too. Our cars are so alike. Haha.

Sorry to keep you guys waiting but never had a right time to take a pic of my car. So I finally took some after work. Will take better pics whenever I get some time to clean and take it out for a photoshoot.

Went from 8k lo to 5k lo. I couldn't stand driving around with 8k. So hard to see. Lol.

The previous owner had debadged the car and added toyota emblem decals to cover the holes. I had removed them because I'd rather have a debadged car than a decaled car. Lol. Thank you.

Thanks. You meant clear fogs as in the lighting? I was thinking of changing the lighting to 5k too. Not sure yet though.

It has the 5k in it. For some reason. If you look into the housing it'll look more blue than when you look at the lightout. It's close to normal to white. Just perfect for my bad eyesight. Lol.

I wished we had central Cali meets. Would be perfect for the north Cali and south Cali 6gc to meet half way and be perfect for the cen cal 6gc.

Haha. A lil too late for that. I was going to take my car in for an alignment tomorrow but I'd rather wait til I get my axle replaced first. So I wouldn't have to take it in again.
