Well. Still here. I joined in 02, as the 7th member. I had my celica for a few years before that, and I still have it. It's gone through more stages than you could possibly imagine. The last that most everyone here knew about, was when the car had Ground Control coilovers, 7th gen GTS powder-coated black wheels, JDM head and tails, etc. Well, I hit a tight spot with money, and the car was put back to completely stock exterior, other than the fender side markers. Well, I hated that.
I went totally ghetto, and cut the stock springs, just to lower the car a little bit, because I couldn't stand sitting up in the air so high. so here that was:
Again, this wasn't good enough. I hadn't planned on spending anymore money on the car, as I'm paying off credit cards, and trying to save up for a new place, and a new car. Well, I got sick of riding on cut springs, and 150k mile old shocks. I came across a deal I couldn't resist, so I invested in some new GR2 shocks, and another set of Ground Control coilovers (thanks eggman). Also, I ran into a friend, totally unexpectedly, and he offered me some wheels. 18" Team Loco wheels, black again, with a few thousand miles of rubber, for 200 dollars. I didn't plan on any wheels, but I couldn't resist.
So here's how the Celica is now:
(Day)
(Night)
(Bored and messing around)
Anyway, so there's my car as it is now. I still have the 7th gen seats, flip-out screen, changer, system, Grant steering wheel, TRD shifter, intake, exhaust, etc etc etc. But the major change was the outside. Lemme know what you think. In the plans is a stock spoiler, and eventually I will get rid of all the dings and repaint. I'm honestly very tired of owning a Celica, as I've had it for 9 years or so, but I'm not gonna drive it around stock until I get a new car. I tried it. That's not how I roll. Plus, I'll probably end up keeping it after I get the new car, since it's paid for, and it's really not worth anything, as far as trade in goes.
Yeah, leave comments, or don't. I'm just posting to say I'm still here, and I guess I'm still modding here and there. If the price is right.
