ST162 Celica GTS

[Thaifighter]

Sadly, this project was never finished.
I went as far as getting Ground Control Coilovers and 17x8 BBS Style 5's before the car went to the junkyard. :'(

Sayonara Celica... You will be missed.

RIP

I'll make a Build thread for my current car eventually... lol

Mmm. I like the idea of gold with a polished lip.


I like where this is going, keep up the solid work.

In for this. Always loved this body style.

Can't wait to see one of these cars slammed w/ stance

I'm also thinking about painting these rims. Any ideas? I'm personally thinking of white, or gold with polished lip.

Thanks!

I think I'll probably go with gold and polish the lip.

^lol thanks guys. XD

Unfortunately for me, the engine swap didn't work out. I'll post the whole story if anyone's interested (I know you guys **** big blocks of text. lol) , but this past month was basically me getting screwed over by a mechanic, and not getting the engine swap I had hoped of getting.

AND NOW FOR MY FIRST ACTUAL UPDATE to the car!!!
0_0 lol

To celebrate the return of my car, I bought it new shoes!

Oh wait... I didn't mean that literally... Lol

New shoes for the car!!!

16x8 et23 E39 BMW Style 5's. (BBS RZ?)

I'd go with the 92's. Steelies are a little too 'budget' to go on such a clean GTS. Love your sense of humour haha. your mom thought it was going to explode.

oh moms.

@Madhatter

If all goes as planned, I should get a 3sgte swapped in it in about 3 weeks. Debating on whether to bore it from 2.0L to 2.2L (found a good deal on conversion parts) or just leave the motor stock with normal rebuild since this car's just gonna be a daily with some extra punch.

this celica will be tits

[Thaifighter]

Anyone know what the difference between ARE meshies and Enkei 92's are? (Couldn't find anything with the search tool...)
They look the same to me...

Thanks guys!

[birdy]

my favorite year celica. Don't mess it up.

[Pantyraider]

definitely go with the 92's. those are $$

[Thaifighter]

@kartikeya
Yep. Diamonds will be about $100 cheaper than Enkei 92's with adapters or wheel redrilling. And I agree with the 92's looking nicer too.

Thanks for the comments so far guys! Really appreciate them.
