Hi there...I was thinking to my loved Celica, laying here 1189 km far from her, studing at university...so I thought that I still didn't make a topic for it...Then to feel my baby with me I'm going to present it to you
When she came with me, in my home, it was a poor '98 1.8l Celica ![]() With thoose terrible hubcaps, and 159,000 km But her face was too lovely to me to leave it in the hands of his previous owner... ![]() That one that made this wound to my poor car... ![]() Thoose cute eyes started to talk with me, praying for love, and told me I must take it with me...the same eyes that 15 years ago (when one of the most beautiful car to me came out) talked with a little child telling him his destiny, as a Celica owner... (If you're thinking I'm crazy, yes, it is XD) ![]() There was nothing to do, the first thing that all my friend saw and loved was the...... rear bumper! XD ![]() ![]() Then, in a sunny day in May, something new rang at my door... ![]() ![]() Momo Rev 17x7.5 ET35 The previous round sh*t that was on was faslty pulled off and trown away XD to put on thoose ones, with 225/45R17 Bridgestone RE050 Now, there are 215/40R17 tires that give me the performance i was asking for better than the 225/45... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this summer i painted some piece in the interior, this is the result ![]() And then: Coming soon !! GT-4 3 post spoiler (not sure about that, but i've already bought it) GT-4 OEM front strut bar (coming from netherlands ![]() Megan coilovers And some exterior mod Thanks for the attention payed |

Lol. I used to have those hubcaps too. They look like flowers to me. Keep up the good work.

Extremely nice progress, I must say. Very nice modifications, it'll all look nice when the coilovers go on. Although, I don't feel that type of steering wheel really fits a Celica...but that's just me.
Good stuff. Interesting that you went from 225 to 215 series, I actually did the opposite. I feel a bit more stability with the wider tire, but I don't feel like I need the extra rubber. Next tire size I'll try is 205/40/17. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Aug 26, 2011 - 11:41 AM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

The OMP Corsica is the best steering wheel to me, not for the look, but only because it makes you a lot more precise in movements and gives better feedback from wheels... The 225/45 R17 in italy can't be installed on a Celica. The tyre must be max 5% larger or smaller than stock size. I had that tyres only to see how the rims are. |

With the GT-4 calipers from Roy, and a rotor to have some try, from The Nameless' GT-4 in the CT20I, my little AT200 will soon have stronger brakes!

^ Good, better brakes are always beneficial. I'm going along the same route soon too, although not with GT-4 parts - you're lucky. Hope the install goes well.
