My 040 super white 2 celica

[andybob]

Just to reiterate what he just said:

When I first came to this site my car was on lowering springs, I had tinted tails, shitty wheels, and some other questionable shit done to my car. Instead of arguing with people about the shit I did, I looked at other build threads to see what people did and started to clean my car up. I got rid of the taillight tint and sold my shitty wheels to get coilovers. Buying fake wheels was not something I wanted to support so I saved and saved and bought the wheels I have now.

Given my car is a Kia, something not a lot of people put time and effort into, I was amazed at the positive responses I received once it was cleaned up and properly done on some nice wheels.

I'm not saying to biuld you car the way people on the internet are telling you to do so, still do your own thing, but take what other people have done to their cars in the 'stance scene', apply them to your car, and I'm sure you'll get some more positive opinions.

At the end of the day, we're all car enthusiasts and like to see clean, tastefully modded cars. Just something to keep in the back of your mind as you keep working on your car.

i told you to shut the fuck up because you quoted me out of context and made it sound like I was switching my plan around all back and forth when in reality, I said I was keeping the wheels for atleast two years both times. Twist my words and I will tell you to shut the fuck up. feel free do be an asshole but don't expect me to take it with a side of bread. Don't dish it out if you can't take it back.



See that's your problem.
Fact of life: "newbies" can handle contructive criticism. But as soon as you get belligerent, they (including me) will get defensive. it's always been that way and it will always be that way. The sooner senior members learn how to criticize, the sooner newbies will learn how to take it.

Fair enough, I see your point. I didn't meant to make it appear that I was quoting you out of context, maybe I was trying to see what you really meant when you said you wanted to keep your wheels.

The problem is, most teenagers can't take criticism, yet they continue to post what they did to their cars despite previous input and advice. We will continue to state our displeasure or approval, like it or not- welcome to the internet. There is no waiver at the door, all bets are off once you hit "submit reply".

So, to make it clear that I'm not a complete asshole, here's what I would have to say about your build:

• You have a nice car in an attractive color.
• Your choice to lower said car and get fitment in is a great idea.
• I like the fact that you're doing a Celica- they're different, and kind of cool.
• Your wheel choice could have been much better, despite your excuses about "affording wheels". (see previous replies)
• Your choice of buying eBay parts does not contribute to what most would consider a "quality" build. (see previous replies)
• Your way of "saving" is all wrong. (see previous replies)
• Your lashing out at other members here (myself included) make you appear unstable, child-like, and disrespectful. Hard to gain respect when you curse at members of whom you do not know.
• You feel the need to justify what you've done, and carry out "It's my car and I don't care what you think", but continue to post things looking for attention and approval.

I wish you the best of luck with your build, and I hope that the advice of many senior members on here does not fall on deaf ears.

Im not even going to bother posting the specs and prices, because you need to figure things like that out for yourself, I didnt even bother looking at pcd's because I know you wont buy them anyway.

Simply show you and others how easy it really is. Almost as easy as ordering xxr's.

[Oxer]

the xxr's are staying. and they will be for probably atleast two years.

and if you can find me an 18x9.5 wheel for 510$, you must be some sort of god.

Challenge accepted.

Like I said in your intro thread, you need to listen rather then speak.


Im not going to tell people to stop posting negative things in your thread, because you're asking for it with your childish responses.

So... anything new with the car? Still a build thread right and I'm not in the discussion section right?

LOL

Lets see more Celica and less text!

Your wish is my command! I'm diagnosing a scratchy noise in the rear today so I can post some up of that. I also plan on doing a little bit more body rolling in the back as well as fender plastic trimming in the front if I have time.

That's a wonderful way to earn the respect of your peers- tell them to "shut the fuck up" and "I don't really give a shit" after giving you input that you asked for.

This is why we give you a hard time.
Fact of life: I am a hardass to newbies who can't seem to take criticism well.

LOL. In that first quote you forgot to mention I STILL said 2 years. So seriously shut the fuck up. I AM keeping them. I have estimated 2 years because who knows where I'll be financially. An honestly, I LOVE the rims. I don't really give a shit if they aren't "your cup of tea" because they are mine

I feel your pain about the tires man.

I have been here a while and this will save your thread before it becomes a shitstorm. MommysLittleMonster loves giving everyone a hard time when he gets the chance. He gives great advice, but he can come across as an ass. You are not the first one he has done this too (ex. Kaidotech, Belvader) and are certainly not the last. Don't let the ****** win, keep up with this thread and clean the celica up.


Take this advice to heart, this is a little list I created.

When on S|W

Do not reply to ******
Do not be offended by people on the internet(then the ****** win)
Take their advice and move on(not worth the effort arguing with anyone)
Fake wheels are looked down on(do not make them the focus of your car)
Do not talk about fake wheels if you own them
Do not talk about fake wheels if you don't own them
Stay classy(no throwing insults or proving stupid points)
Low is good
Fitment is better

Keep building this car. It's called the build thread for a reason.

Fact of life: I am a hardass to newbies who can't seem to take criticism well. And yes, I do come across as an asshole. But it's because deep down, I care inside goddamn it all.

But seriously, listen to this man's advice. I give everyone a hard time, it's not just you.

For shits and giggles I looked at the pics of the 430 I drove last year, yes they're CF mirrors.

Damn, back to square one haha.

The thing with drifting is, the drifter would rather break a wheel before fucking up anything else under the car. That is why they use cheap wheels, they break easier. Why the fuck would you drift with $1500 wheels, you must balling out the ass if you can afford to drift that type of money away.

I also said "noooo" problems. My point was, if a drifter DOESN'T break a rim, what makes you think I will? One guy from zilvia has been on the same xxr for hundreds of events. And countless sets of tires and they are still going strong.

My bitch control arm is giving my wheels problems


Guess its time to crank out camber and waste my tires

[rsingh3g]

On zilvia, there are hundreds of guys with xxr on their 240s and drift and have nooo problems. So I think I'm fine.
