[Jdm-maniac]

Hello guys! I'm new here and just got my first celica about a month ago, it belonged to a member here, and we swapped cars.

anyway, just a quick post to show you lot what I've been up too. done a few things to it since I got it.

here's the car when I first got it.



and here's how it is now.



not to everyone's taste but im quite happy with the way things are going with it.

I want to sell these alloys and Get another set (not really my taste to be honest) and also sold my mongoose exhaust system
and going this Wednesday to pick u a 5zigen including Decat.

Last week I also sprayed the Rear plate holder panel

Y'know, I like the way it was before but I also like the yellow touches, and the black panel is almost mandatory on a white or silver Celica. Widens the rear, visually.

Haha yep.

And thanx man, and all you do is remove the rear lights and there's two screws that you will see after you have removed the lights. very straight forward.

Haha is it? lol we shall see and Thanx

Fair enough, I prefer the way it is now.. buying gt4 side skirts and Looking for a front lip as well. spray it all in black. should look good.

and ye, I wanted a Carbon fiber one lol but nothing on ebay, so just sprayed it in Black.

Yeah did that, and the three plugs too, somethings holding it on pretty solid near the lock carrier, stupid rusty screws!

Yeah when you get stuck and figure out how to use the search thing properly its quite cool. Its pretty US based but a few of them seem really helpful

Cool, I'll try ripping it out tonight, got the bolts and plugs out ok, it just wont come off at the top, all or nothing now i suppose

My mate has an import and its quick although I hate the way they look he seems to love it, I'm a Toyota fan boy myself so I officially hate your Honda side

You have got an ace motor there tho

[cheela]

love the yellow. I did it to mine too but I don't have fog lights so there's no yellow down there. maybe in the future.
rear turned out nice too. like ferdi said looks great on white/silver celis.

[JoshuaM]

Haha, you'll find some pics of your old MR2 up here too somewhere

Looking good

[sr666]

Looks familiar

I'm inclined to say remove the sunstrip (replace with a smaller black one)
I'm not a fan of the tint on the headlights but the black rear panel looks good. There's a guy on CCUK who sells carbon fibre ones they're not cheap though

The rest looks awesome (I wonder why)

[Tigawoods]

I like the look of the teal sunstrip. Reminds me of the Spoon cars

Ye, I think it turned out quite good, also got some hid's so they look pretty good when on. (thats my opinion a least)



and yeah, just don't like the exhaust.. it sounds good but not my cup of tea.. Can't wait to get my hands on that 5Zigen!!

Haha, you'll find some pics of your old MR2 up here too somewhere

Ive already seen it.. Was a good car.. just too small for me

and cheers dude

Haha Hello again Dude nahh man, sunstrip looks good in my opinion, like TIGAWOODS said, reminds you off Spoon Tuned cars!

about the Carbon Fibre, how much are they? Around £100-£200?

and ye.. car is awesome! loving it.. done the CV Joint and new windscreen last week.

Going through MOT this week.

Exactly mate



Beast of Cars! Civic EK9's Tuned by Spoon! MAdness lol

^Your car seems to have turned into a pile of crap! Nah just kidding, nah really I hate Honda.

I like the black license plate surround, I've thought about doing such myself. The real question is, why did sr666 abandon us?
