My 6GC, 8/4/14 - Im back :D Options

[CelicaZR]

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

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.

[CelicaZR]

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.

[Cutrara]

Black Celicas are so sexy. Welcome.

[amysmojo]

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!!

[Scott]

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

[Volks]

Nice one mate!

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

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

[CelicaZR]

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.

[CelicaZR]

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

[OCceliST]

How much did the struts and lower bar cost you?

[J-TYPE]

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

[CelicaZR]

How much did the struts and lower bar cost you?
[right][snapback]328670[/snapback][/right]

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

[tomazws]

Very very very very nice and clean car.

[Shigexile]

cf on black? i think it will look nice

[CelicaZR]

cf on black? i think it will look nice
[right][snapback]329865[/snapback][/right]

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.

[Drunken_Style]

nice car

[CelicaZR]

Thanks mate

[purplegt4]

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

[CelicaZR]

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

[CelicaZR]

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?

[Driveby]

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.

[CelicaZR]

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

[CoSo]

Looking good CelicaZR and Driveby.

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

[Akimbo]

CF on black in my profile!

[CelicaZR]

[right][snapback]335863[/snapback][/right]

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

[CelicaZR]

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

[azian_advanced]

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.

[CoSo]

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

[CelicaZR]

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

[CelicaZR]

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

[CoSo]

Looks to be in good nick, congrats on the purchase

[CelicaZR]

[right][snapback]350264[/snapback][/right]

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

[CoSo]

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

[right][snapback]350350[/snapback][/right]

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.

[CelicaZR]

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

[forkee]

[CelicaZR]

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

[CelicaZR]

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


Guess whats in the box?

[celiracer]

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

[CelicaZR]

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

[CoSo]

I love watching the progress of your car CelicaZR

Lovely as usual, keep up the good work!

[Slow-lica]

Congrats ZR, your ceilca's coming along nicely

[CelicaZR]

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.

[Akimbo]

sexy

[CelicaZR]

Thanks Akimbo
I'm liking the CF bonnet you've got.
I might get one later down the track.
Next on the list is Wheels and coilover

[dstrbcelica]

pure hotness.

-dstrb

[Verde97]

HAWT!!!

[DSRT-FX]

hey bro
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

[CelicaZR]

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

[CelicaZR]

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?

[blu94gt]

well it was sexy...

[CelicaZR]

well it was sexy...

What do you mean by that?

[Celicav]

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

[shin]

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

[CelicaGT04]

Nice looking celica... very nice

[blu94gt]

well it was sexy...

What do you mean by that?

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

[CelicaZR]

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.

[dustin15brown]

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

[TheStreetzKing]

ah i love that freeaking kit so much

[CelicaZR]

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.

[malpaso]

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!

[CelicaZR]

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

[malpaso]

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 .

[NaKeD]

yet another mod to your car celicazr, u progress nicely..
althought i wanna see more pics of ur reverse, look kinda dogey there.. get a better pic in dude
and u didn't show us the m2 bulb

keep up the good work i'm goin to get jdm tail and projectors then i'm ahead of u haha

naked

p.s its a race against mods

[CelicaZR]

Malpaso: Check the previous page, and you'll
find out why I'm not goin with front and rear
extensions
Naked: Thanks man
M2 bulb is the reverse lights.
M4 is for the plates.
Your way ahead of me in mods
I'm gonna take my time

[malpaso]

Malpaso: Check the previous page, and you'll
find out why I'm not goin with front and rear
extensions
...

Oh... silly me (English malfunction again )

[frosty]

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!

[CelicaZR]

Here are some of the pics from the photoshoot yesterday
Here are some shots on a bridge







Some shots under street lights




Some shots at my favourite place

[Chanh55]

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.

[jgreening]

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

[malpaso]

Here are some of the pics from the photoshoot yesterday
...

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

[DSRT-FX]

wow! great pics dude! even though the celica isnt the most popular car in australia we sure will show them. let's do it for all the members in 6gc.net and all those 4-eyed celi's around the world. love the pics espcially that drive-by shot. -R

[Nibbe]

Ok... I want projectors now...

I agree.

Thats one nice ride out there. Cant wait to see it when u got new rims and ur kit on. Ur doing really good work so keep it up.

[NaKeD]

nice photo shoot, great car... nice place to show off ur celica

NaKeD

[CelicaZR]

Jay: Thanks Jay
Over here they are known as SX-R or ZR wheels.
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.
I'll most likely blow up that shot.

DSRT-FX: Celica is popular here, but the thing is no one
is here share the passion as we do
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.
But things are holding me back

Naked: Thanks buddy
Now get off your lazy a$$ and go take some photos
