I wish I still had that car. Here are some pics before I lowered it with some Tein springs and Tokico struts and shocks. Before then, that thing looks like a 4x4 with that fender gap. It has the JDM TRD fogs, TRD exhaust, AEM cold air intake and the JDM smoked acrylic fuel lid with chrome fuel cap. It's wearing a set of Racing Hart Rims and Nitto rubber. (Looking back, I wish I would've went with polished rims) I wish I had different pictures after I finished my mods, but I'm lucky I found those and had to scan them. I bought that car new on my birthday as a gift to myself.
Pretty much all of my cars have been lift backs with a rear wiper. The Twins were supposed to be a lift back but got changed to an tiny trunk instead for weight savings.
But I agree, Celicas without a body kit didn't even hold up when they came out. Especially when I see one nowadays. More so the ones without a spoiler, even the factory one.  |
The general shape of the 7th gen Celica was nice, it was the front bumper that kind of killed it (I felt that they fixed it with the facelift). Still, I got a lot of compliments on my Celica up until the day that I sold it.
I also regret selling mine. Toyota really fucked up by not making it RWD, I would have kept it until the day I died if it was. However, for FWD that was a really fun car to drive that I will always be fond of.
