hi all, apologies if this is in the wrong section, I purchased a 6th gen Celica yesterday in somewhat unexpected circumstances but I won't bore ye with the details. It's a 1995 JDM SSII with Superstrut and close ratio box. Its black and sitting on standard Toyota 15" alloys, it's a lovely one, only mod is a stainless steel exhaust system from the cat back. It's the 177bhp engine and is quite fast. I was warned about the SuperStrut suspension but it seems fine, its at 120,000km. Collecting it Tuesday, will post some pics later in week.

you'd be right, "D's" are Dubs (shiny, chrome rims). It's a term used alot in rap/hip hop. But they would look nice, although some nice racing wheels would be cool too

Well picked her up today and here are a few pics, it was getting dusky by the time I took them and she isn't very clean but ..............
With the SSII engine and the stainless steel exhaust from the Cat back it is fairly loud when the foot is down, cruising at 60/70 mph it's nearly as quiet as a family car. Am well happy with her. Big clean planned for the weekend, weather permitting

I have to totally disagree. Black cars are most easily tell when it's dusty / dirty.
Nice car btw, that exhaust looks pretty nice =) the tip's not too big or too small. Love your fogs.

Thanks for positive feedback gents, black is a bummer to keep clean, gets dusty a few mins after cleaning it. Just put in a JVC headunit as she came with original tapedeck one.
With the SSII and the superstrut, close ratio box, TRD quickshift, and the fact she is lowered I have very little planned, I like the original wheels and the roads here are poor enough so don't want to go to 17s or anything, also not a major fan of bodykits, think she will stay the way she is, sorry for being a bore but if it aint broke...............

It was luck really, I had a deposit on a 1996 Accord Coupe which I was meant to collect yesterday. Lsst Thursday I went with a friend to check out a car he was thinking of buying, he bought the car he was looking at and the Celica was for sale too. As Kevin had just bought a car there and I had told the guy that I was collecting an Accord the following Tuesday we weren't viewed as prospective customers. He told us that he had taken her in as a trade in against a Suzuki Liana (little 1.3 family MPV thing) and that he had made his money on the Liana, He said he would be asking for 5.5 / 6 K Euro
The garage selling me the Accord rang me the following day and told me it had been stolen, so I rang the place where the Celica was and asked what was the price, he said as my buddy had bought the other car and also considering that he had told me what his bottom line was that he wouldn't ask for any more than the bottom line. It's a good deal, garages are asking 7500 for 140 bhp SS1 in from Japan of the same year without alloys over here !! Being honest I don't think that the chap knew that she was a 177bhp SS11 as he generally sells family cars or small cars. She passed the Irish car test 2 weeks ago, has 125000km on the clock and is generally in very good condition. Looks more like 3/4 years old rather than 12, I am delighted with her.

1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of moneyI'm not really an asshole, but I play one on the internet.**** Photobucket
Gave her a right good cleaning today, few pics, also close ups of the wheels to show how close they are to arches as someone was asking was she lowered, hard to tell difference between tyre and arch because she is black so you will have to look closely, put in an interioe pic too, no leathers, tut tut !
Don't know how much the springs actually lower her, or what make they are, they are blue anyway...

She looks sweet, out of interest, how much is she lowered? I have 30mm lowering apex springs in the boot waiting to go on!
Got it for a great price too!

well sure doesn't look like any stock shifter iv'e seen in a 6th gen. mabey its just an aftermarket shifter, but by the way theres all that space around the shifter and nothing really covering it, i'd be guessin someone did a swap, either that or mabey switched shifters and didn't feel like putting the covering back on..lol

im going to say that its the stock shifter, aftermarket knob, just doesnt have the boot on. the shifter looks like mine.

How's it going boy, yeah she looks well after the clean, think she was a bargain, don't know how much she is lowered as I bought her like that, imagine it's more than 30mm. Being honest I think that it is too low, have to practically stop before a speedbump. If your driving on rural country roads I wouldn't recommend lowering it more than 30mm.

So because it doesn't look like a stock shifter that you have seen you think there was an Auto to manual conversion done ???? I suggest you have a look at the how to guide on instaling a TRD Quickshift, parhaps after looking at my pictures and than comparing to the pictures in the how to guide you will be enlightened
