CELSIOR PROGRESS

Well I can finally post up some pics of my ride!

Got a few things on it during the time VSC was down now I can post it up for scrutiny haha..

The fitment is not very aggressive at the moment but I couldn't keep it stock for the new year road tripping. Im gonna import some different rims during the year but for now Im pretty happy

Here goes.. copped it as this:

Mods to do:
Chrome grill with no emblem
Rear spacers
Tail lights
Bodykit

Then new rims later

i like the exhaust and im sure once you get your spacers its going to look 10x better.

Yea, spacers are in need here, not sure how to measure how much spacing I need to do though :S

looks like you need a 1.25" in the rear.  Are you on springs or coilovers? cause you got a nice drop there.

its the factory air with a datasystems controller

in NZ you can only have 1inch or 2.5cm spacers so they will have to do

ahahahaha ive never seen a toyota hood ornament before. that is cool! didnt know they even existed.

On ebay they do....I'm sorry, that's tacky.

Car looks sick bro!

haha u can say its as tacky as u want but i think its pimpin', with a new grille it should look better. its a toyota answer to an s-class merc anyway so toyota for the win!

thanks for the feedback guys

sorry man but I find the hood ornament alittle tacky too but its your whip, I do dig the blue tint and wind visors! :biggthumpup:

The thing is, it's not authentic Toyota. It's not Toyota's answer, but Ebay's answer.

each to his own

anyway moving on,

new updates :thelaw:

old exhaust off:

im pretty happy with the result

 they were built out of custom 2.5" pipes, i was thinkin about getting it chromed but decided not to. the pipe suits the colour of the two-tone bottom

can always chrome it later anyway

(sorry for the ass pics they were taken on my phone)

got any sound clips? looks nice.....

and some pics as to how they were bent? im curious also...looks nice.

ill take a sound clip tommorow. its ratty as fuck but sounds mint, it might sound like shit on a recording :pat:

they were bent by a machine at my muffler guy, he took the pieces of pipe and used a machine that bent the metal with ease and it left a thinner part in the bend. im really not sure what the machine was called cos i havent seen one before sorry bro

^^^ crush bend..

wow coming along great.... love the exhaust...

cant wait to see the new wheels, looks pretty good so far:dance:

im about half way to getting new wheels, another 2-3 weeks

I really don't like the exhaust; it may be due in part to the fact that it's totally illegal here.

Other than that, the car's off to a nice start. White is definitely a nice choice.

Congrats on your purchase

What size and brand you gonna get?

wheels wise?

dunno atm ay maybe work vs 18's

project come to a stall atm cos i ran out of cash and im having thoughts about buying another car
