I have! But it's a lot of effort that I don't have. Haha. Recently my chrome bulbs in my tails blew, so I've pretty much been running the orange all round.

Is this another case of not being able to get them in AU?

Update!!

Plan B for my wheels. When my front tires wear out, i will be stretching a smaller tire on, putting my 9" up front, and my 8" in the rear with 25mm spacers.

Effectively making me:
18x8 +5 Rear
18x9 +30 Front - Reverse Staggered Fitment. We are FWD afterall

Sample photo of the fronts!

Nice bit of poke

And another photo since i haven't in a while.

'I IS SO HAPPY' haha

First of all, awesome car! I really love it! Sooooo nice.
Just a few quick questions,
Can you fold your back seats? And if not, do you miss it? Because I had a BMW coupe 3 series and the lack of a rear hatch really annoyed me on occasion. Before that I had a Prelude and the small rear opening and lack of folding seats was insufferable. I always measured every load for my mid 90s Integra, and nothing shaped up til I got my 96 Celica (which I bought this year). Now I have enough space to keep most body parts in the boot (trunk), like the spoiler and interior panels and tools etc.
Do you miss the carrying capacity?
How good is the sound from that subwoofer? I had a large bass cannon in my 'Teg that'd shake the number plates and render the rear-view mirrors useless, does it compare?

Loads of understeer with that setup, but ballsy in styling, certainly.

Edser: the back seats fold forward not back. I can take the panel covering the sun off so I can slide something up the side. But there's not too much room. There's still tonnes of room in the boot for anything I need really. Don't use it that often haha. You can see the bass wobble in the mirrors, but it doesn't move it or make you see any less

Swiss: I decided against it. It slipped my mind that my rears are a more concaved wheel and it would look silly. I think I'll either go even more poke with 15mm spacers all round. Or extend my studs and equal them out to the Flush guide.

No way! How far away were you, don't really remember the lineup haha. Got any pics?

Poking my wheels out, as far as I can. Extended studs are just pricey though

Edser

#284

Oh I get it now. I had poke on my last car. Turns out M3 rear wheels don't fit on a '00 318 coupe. I did everything I could cutting and filing etc., short of flaring the wheel arches. Still the wheels wouldn't fit. It was a very dispiriting experience. Looked great though.

Dude that car looks awesome. You've convinced me to change a few things on mine ie the front fogs removed and the projectors with the chrome indicators.

Looks absolutely amazing

It's been a pleasure reading this thread and some epic pics too

Nice.
Where can I get such "celica" light?

#293

No carbon fibre hatch

or laser beam. I was going to mount a yoshi on the and have him rotate

but that's not it. Haha.

Te celica light, there's a tutorial on here somewhere, you just open up the housing and slip a bit I printed paper in there. That's white text on a black background cut out to fit inside

Red123

#294

Thanks Timmy.
I'll try to do that.

I second that method, it works well. Just annoying to get it perfectly aligned.

Yeah takes quite a while. I might look into it again and make a printable template to use for everyone.

this is by far my favorite 6GC.

So:

Buckled my rim. Doing about 80km/h hit a hammer on the road. Think it's fixable, or be safe and buy a new one. Or be safer and buy 2 new 9" for the front

Timmyface

#299

Turned out my rim had a 20cm or so crack in it. So its getting repaired, but i'll keep it as a spare. Feel uneasy using it as a daily.
So, a new wheel has been bought. Stuck with 18x8 though. i didnt have the spare $700 to put 9's up there.

#300

Regarding my thread on wheel spacer bolts, turned out that I had a good 10mm or so of neg camber. Fixed that up
