Hey everyone,
I'm sorry that there has been no news lately, but I do have a couple of things to say smile.gif
I have since the last post purchased the following:

- 17" Caldina GT4 Wheels
- SS-III Front Splitters
- SS-III Grille (Arrived but haven't put on yet)
- SS-III Grille Badge
- TRD Grille Badge
- Set of 4 Projector Headlights

I'm about to purchase a set of Euro Riser blocks, and am on the hunt for a boot off a pre-facelift gen 6. Am hopefully going to sell my SS-III riser blocks soon. I'm also planning for some coilovers in the near future smile.gif

I'll keep everybody posted, can't wait for some pictures to come your way smile.gif

Hey guys,
Just a quick update, today the prefaclift bootlid conversion was successful and here are a few images:

Now Representing the 2 post spoiler! tongue.gif







I personally think it looks better smile.gif But honestly i don't have anything wrong with the three post, I changed for the main reason of having spoiler options. I have decided to go with the Euro Spec Riser Blocks which I will be getting in hopefully a couple of weeks, currently in the negotiation stage.
My Caldina GT4 rims are being picked up by a courier hopefully tomorrow and hopefully will arrive by the end of the week smile.gif
I will notify you all of other purchases when i have news smile.gif

Just a few pictures of my SPREE LED kit that was promised:

Hey all,
Just a quick update letting you all know that I have purchased my Euro/Half Riser Blocks from jbod smile.gif here are a couple of pictures:

Top:


Bottom:


Should hopefully arrive in a week or so smile.gif

Here are a couple of examples of 6GC's with the Euro/Half Risers:

rentaspace (also has the Caldina GT-Four rims):


Shigexile:


My Caldina GT-Four rims have also arrived and will be hopefully on the car tomorrow, just waiting for new tires to arrive (Kumho: 215/45/R17) photos will be up when rims are on the car smile.gif

Also just wanting to say that a project is very hard to predict from the beginning with the mind constantly changing, so therefore as of now I'm wanting to say that is is more of my own ss-III/ trd project, set up how I desire it to look smile.gif just wanted to clear up that as of the moment the plans are not for an exact ss-III replica. I really hope you all stay tuned and interested in my thread, because it will be far from disappointing (I hope haha)

Looking nice man good work biggrin.gif I agree with it sitting abit high came out of a mall the other day and there was another white celica parked right beside mine but it was sitting at stock height and it made my lowered one look so much nicer! Defiantly look into it will transform the look of the car smile.gif

1997 White ST202
Thanks man smile.gif and yeah i do agree with that completely, makes it look so much sportier when low. So when I get some decent money coming in, i'll be searching for some coilovers smile.gif

Hey all,
Just an update on what is happening at the moment. Currently I have my year 12 exams so am unable to do too much, but over the past couple of days my Projector Headlights have arrived and also my Euro Risers smile.gif So hopefully Euro Risers and Projectors will be on in the coming days if I have the time smile.gif

Looks wonderful!! interior turned out very well thumbsup.gif

Thanks man smile.gif and I got the idea of the TRD grille badge from your car tongue.gif You need more pictures of yours!

Yeah it is a really nice look that I'm happy with smile.gif and the Grille badge hardly cost anything haha

I know! the Celica's really aren't too small either, but next to everything else they are really small. Makes it more of a sports car haha tongue.gif
