  • A non riced 7th gen celica?!

    Hi guys my names Hunter, or CeliBra, whatever you prefer. I've been a lurker for a while and decided to finally make an account. So I suppose I should make a build thread.

    Currently I own a 2000 celica gt. Now, most of the time when people think of celicas they think awful overly complicated body kits, big ugly ricer wings, ugly wheels, and fart cannons. However, I wanted to build a clean, well done, and nice to look at car. I feel like it would be really cool to do so, as you do not see many clean nor stanced celicas, and most are generally riced out junk. Either way, I started getting ideas from some guys over at newcelica.org and a few threads i found on here!

    So I started simple and purchased a jp vizage replica poly lip, just like the one on this car. Okay so I didn't buy it, it ended up being a christmas present. I know, Im pathetic.


    After that I was trying to decide between new springs, or coilovers. Obviously coilovers would have been my first choice, but I simply could not afford them. However, I ended up finding raceland coilovers through a friend of mine and decided to give them a shot. I just received those today, and will hopefully install them within the next week.

    I've been trying to decide on wheels for quite a while, and if I could choose I would rock some simple 17 inch white wide steelies. However, all the 17s I have ever found were never in my bolt pattern which sucks major donkey balls. I've found plenty of 16s, but right now im on stock 15s and would really prefer 17s or 18s. I also have a friend who said he would sell my his STRs that are on his s2k at the moment for 400 with the tires, which probably have 45% tread left. Unfortunately they have a pretty crazy offset and im not sure if they will fit. If anyone knows of a good place to get 17 inch steelies in 5x100....let me know, seriously. I'll love you.

    So this is her at the moment, and she'll be coming along soon and I'll update the thread accordingly! Thanks for reading this far

        Why does every, and I mean every, 7th gen have black or incredibly dark colored wheels!?

        Either way looks good so far, and good luck!

        Celi did well and truly screw you guys over hahaha.

          because high school girls dont know anything about cleaning wheels...its permanently embedded brake dust.

            It'll be sweet! Nothing flashy or ricey. Simple and clean!

              So it's been a long fucking time, and I completely forgot about this thread. Pictures of the bae as she sits currently (seriously needing some spacers)






              She's getting there. I've decided that I now want to do a VIP inspired style, so I'm in the process of saving for bags and if things go as planned, new wheels. Vossens, or maybe cast Roti BLQs.

                I don't like these cars, but this one is not bad, the back seems to sit kinda high though, but that could just be the picture

                  Say no to fakes, no Vossen's please. Also lose that rear tow hook and Mugen front lip. Other than that its pretty clean.

                    I agree with VIP style, just wondering how either of the wheels you mentioned are at all VIP style? Shop around and find some Eurolines or Dishes, either would look great!

                      I was hoping this would be another Celi thread. Severely disappointed

                          celi thread around still? I can never find it to see what he is all about.


                          Also OP don't fuck around and do things the way you want the first time. Even if it takes time to save.

                            I was honestly thinking about some eurolines. I really like Meisters too, s1r's to be specific. Meisters don't sit in the VIP category though. Don't really know just yet, but I'm going bags before wheels so I will worry about that later.

                            I didn't know Vossens were reps/fakes. I just saw a few that I loved and thought would look good. Tow hook = there because I had to actually use it at one point to keep from fucking up my new paint. Lip there because I (at the moment,due to my driveway) can't go any lower and it makes the front sit a bit lower or at least look like it does.
