People are always going to have thier own opinion on cars. If you think the Celica was a nice car then that's all that matters. Best of luck with your build.

Congrats! I owned three 7th gen Celica's and loved all of them! You've probably seen me on newcelica.org :)

Same username. Yup I've been a member there for 11+ years! I originally bought a 2000 GT when they first came out in 2001. Then bought a 2003 TRD GT...then a 2003 TRD GT-S. I seriously loved (and still do) those cars!

CSI:86 05-21-2013 12:59 AM

:( I used to own a Jap Spec Toyota Celica (the ones that had 147kw with TRD intake and TRD exhaust) in my uni days. The day i sold it and the buyer collected it and drove away from the train station where we met, i started crying. Seeing your Celica like that made that feeling come back :( :( :(

Tommysfrs 05-21-2013 01:06 AM

Back in 1975 I had a 1974 Toyota Celica put on over 150,000 miles before the engine (18R) gave-up in 1979. It was a great car, really liked it

@DIM: Are those LEDs under your turn signal? Never seen that before.

USMC 05-21-2013 12:38 PM

Welcome aboard !!!

Eurasianman 05-21-2013 12:44 PM

So, I just saw an FR-S in the parking lot that has the LED strip as well on the bottom bumper. Is this suppose to be equivalent to the BRZ LED daytime running lights?

Oh, and welcome! :D

Yess I suppose it's equivalent to the BRZ, it was a dealer add on. They charged me $400 for them! :mad0260: But I didn't feel like waiting weeks for another Whiteout in my area. But I'll be ditching them pretty soon and getting some OEM fog's . :)
