Celica GT-R ST183

ok guys a small update for you, I dont know where to start lol

I guess I should start by listing what ive actually done over the last few months.

The spoiler as chris says isnt the right colour match, it turns out my car is a khaki black not just black. So one of the first things I did was source another spoiler to go onto my original one. Mine being an import has a brake light in it so I want to keep it. This is in the body shop as we speak being made and sprayed the correct color lol the same for the bumper as pictured earleir on in this thread.

Ill list the rest of whats going on as its far easier.

1. Rockercover gasket replaced, along with new bolts to hold it down (celicas are known for coming loose)
2. Oil and filter change
3. Water system flush.
4. Powersteering flush.
5. Brakepads replaced front and rear along with brake fluid flush and bleed.
6. Driveshaft gaitor replaced.
7. Few rubber pipes replaced.
8. New air filter and spark plugs.
9. New dizzy cap and rotory arm (oil was leaking into it from the gasket leak)
10. New headunit.
11. New door speakers.
12. Various amps.
14. Various subs.
15. Clear front indicators
16. Blue led dials.
17. Japanese flare - mine is a jdm model so allready had the holder for it.
18. Red kerb lights (i been getting lessons from chris)
19. Repaired spare wheel.
20. M.O.T passed with 1 minor
21. Gear nob replaced.
22. Sunstrip.
23. New battery.
24. change headlight bulbs
24. check the pictures lol

Ill add pictures in no order and talk a little about each one.

This amp went from this to this I sprayed it myself then added a couple of jdm stickers







I also brought various subs amps and a bluetooth alpine stereo









added magnets to my rearveiw mirror so now it acts liek a mount for ..... tadaaaa



some led mods , this will make chris proud

jdm flare (still live)



headlight bulbs changed







mods on thier way, change of colour scheme as i was going to do black and white but am now going down the black and red interior look. Steering wheel is in post and im still looking for some wheels the audio is a work in progress i still have lots to do but now mot is out of the way i can crack on will also be doing some stuff to the engine to make it look a bit nicer

lol u cant see out windscreen if ya driving haha it for when car isnt it motion only its on magnets so u just clip and unclip it sort of thing

Love it. When you said JDM flare I thought you meant fender flares hahaha, I got waaay too excited. Awesome updates though, and love what you've done with it so far.

thx mirror how r u ?

Hey how does a magnet stick to the mirror? I didn't think it was magnetic lol.

lol no it doesnt, i got krussel ones which are super strong and sicky on one side then there are 2 little plate stuck to the back of my tablet and hey presto i can move it in different directions etc etc

So there's always a magnet stuck on the mirror now?

yes cris 2 roun ones in each corner so it doesnt effect use for driving it passed mot like it too

I got out there with the polish today and broke all the rules for polishing a car I like to do the whole thing hen put some elbow grease in to remove it

before





and after














then 5 minutes later true to british form this hapens lol #englisheathersucks lol

Looks great! Hopefully you waxed it to protect from the rain.

BTW are you blackout that center reflector?

everyone keeps saying that i should black it out but im not sure :S If im brutally onest i wuite like it like that but yes I probably will lightly smoke it at some point

I go some new wheels today so will try to get them fitted tonight

here they are

Cars coming together really nice mate, them wheels will make it look even better.

i hope so i cant wait to get them fitted your corolla is looking the nuts m8 im well impressed and loving your build thread btw

Cheers bud, have you considered getting hold of any GT4 parts for your celica such as the bonnet or other parts.

Hey, I'm loving those wheels&centercaps, plus the new sig!

Only reason I say to smoke the reflector is so that it matches the tails

I agree mate the reflector would look better matching, either way all smoked or unsmoked will look good.

ok i will adhere to your advise and smoke it at some point need to figure out how to remove it first lmao

I fitted the wheels last night and boy has it transformed the car. I really like them cant wait for some better wether and a better camera as my phone sucks bad

The wheels look really good mate, makes the car look so much more sporty. Try to keep them looking white

thx bridgy I wasnt sure about he white at first but seems like it was a good choice

i have but tbh not much will fit and everything with gt4 written in the title seems a lot more expensive. I do like the bonnets but the problem ive got is that he colour of my car is khaki black which is an import colour so if i was to do this id have to get bonnet sprayed and same time spare bonnet wont fit in the back so catch 22 really

I'm liking it alot mate! Very nice!

I like you car bro!! Look very clean. Future plan???

Woah, those wheels look great!

That's a great price! It looks like a fun project - and I like that color combination with the wheels! I wanted to do something like that too but never got to it
