RSX Front End Conversion [Archive]

A friend of mine does crazy body work as a hobby. Use to work at a Body Shop, did a Supra conversion on an Eclipse, did a custom Widebody on a Supra (haha.). Anyways, he's a close friend, and he's does great work. We've been throwing around ideas for things to do to my Celica, like pulling the fenders out to give it a Widebody look, a whole bunch of sketchy ideas, but I think the one thats grabbed him and I the most is doing an RSX Front End Conversion. We're actually serious on this, and not just pulling ideas out of our asses.

I want to purchase the Black Projector RSX Headlights and install the RSX Wing Front Bumper.

u want to put rsx headlights on the celica?

I dont think it would flow with the celica's lines, and i think if you were to do a conversion, that you should get a high end or luxury cars' headlights. but that's my two cents, i wouldnt mind seeing it though, its different at least

I'd have to see some good photochops of this before I could really give my opinion on whether it would look decent.

I have a good idea. Goto the Acura dealer, and trade ur car in for a RSX. I mean think about it, you'll have a bigger bore, more hp, your front end, and a bigger aftermarket.

JasonGTS

03-20-2005, 01:10 PM

Yeah, I guess I could if I wanted an RSX.

or..

Maybe i'm just after doing a modification that hasn't been done yet.

I have a good idea.. "being unique".

I don't know exactly what will be needed. The only thing we actually have to pay for is the RSX parts we'll be using. We have free access to all the tools and equipment needed. So it's pretty much a free conversion + RSX parts. So, the way I look at it, why not. If he's willing to put the time and energy into the project, with his rep, i'm sure it'll come out beautiful.

Just because its Unique dosen't mean its worth doing. I mean I could put a Miata front end on my car because its different, but why not just buy a Miata.

Esepcially when it comes to turning a Celica into an RSX. They are both extremely similiar to begin with. Its like putting a Turd on top of crap, its redundant and stinks.

:werd: one of the few things the celica has over the RSX is looks, why would you want to take that away??

and how in god's name is an RSX front unique?, its one of the most common cars on the planet.

Most people who do these kinds of conversions tend to convert to higher grade car parts. In my opinion you would be downgrading.

Actually it might look nicer to buy an RSX and put Celica Tail lights on it. The Front of the RSX WILL NOT FLOW WITH THE LINES OF THE CELICA.

I'm really not all that worried about them running their mouths. I'm not a die-hard Celica enthusiast, but I like the reliability and dependability of Toyota, plus I hate domestics. I use to have a GSR, and I like to do modification, obviously, considering i'm here. But i'm not too over-hyped on the Toyota vs. Acura / Honda. Respect towards cars goes where respect is deserved.

There's going to be people that hate the conversion, and there's going to be people that love the conversion. Just like theres people that hate the Celica, and people that love the Celica.

-shrug.

The way I look at it, there's always going to be someone over-negativly-critical of someone else, and those always tend to be the more jealous people, the ones that are always outspoken in a negative way, instead of giving constructive criticism the appropriate way.

i wasn't really gonna reply to this thread because i didn't want to take the time to sign up, but this comment just takes the cake. you gotta be careful who you call rice. i mean, i've seen some pretty messed up celicas out there too, but i try to respect those that are done right especially because the leader of my team drives a celica which would probably eat yours and **** it out in considerably less time it takes for you to run your quarter mile.

by the way, talk about rice.

ya man. if u wanna do it, then do it. exactly what u said, not everyone is gonna like everything u do. And having ur car look the way u want it to is ur choice. i mean the guy with the mr2, im not bagging on his car by no means, but its not something i would want to drive. even though it is fixed up nicely, and i bet its extremely fast and what not, the mr2 just isnt my thing. Just do ur thing, as long as u enjoy driving what u drive, thats all that matters.

About getting an rsx instead and converting the tail lights to celica lights, it might be easier to do that, and it might not be easier. But i mean lay off ground zero on doing this conversion. maybe the guy likes everything about the celica over the rsx, except for the front end.

And with the everything celica comment. i visit both sites about equally. there are some riced up cars here, along with the fair mount of riced up cars there. But generalizing and saying that everyone there has no taste, and their cars are "ricey" isnt true.

Good to know that your ride is not even really YOURS. Its something customized by your Sponsors. Okay, your sponsored, big deal. Somehow I have a feeling a Celica with a RSX Conversion would murder you in points at any NCCA event. In your eyes, they are the best body shop in the USA, but there's always someone out there better, doing better detail, and better conversions, so don't make that comment unless you've been to each one individually.

Considering my friend and I are doing the work, thats a much BIGGER achievement than saying ".. uhh.. yeah i'm not jealous.. I .. uh.. paid for only the wheels.. and am.. uhh.. sponsored by the best body shop in the USA.. beat that."

You don't even own a Celica, so what the hell are you doing here again? Go buy some new wheels too...

Most criticism here i think is credible. An RSX front end is not going to stand out, also the RSX and the Celica are basically equals, so this conversion would not be considered an upgrade as say a Supra or Skyline conversion would.

if its one thing i know many Honda owners are jealous of, its our headlight design. I'd more expect talk of this kind of conversion to come from a RSX owner switching to a celica front.

the thought of bringing 2 such bitter rivals together is indeed unique. But these facts defeat the whole purpose. Just food for thought, good luck with whatever you decide to do.

JasonGTS

03-21-2005, 07:10 AM

lol. i love this ****. so much anger and hatred on both sides.

I'm not angry, or hate anyone. I wanted everyone's opinion on the conversion KNOWING people weren't going to like the idea, and other's were going to be interested. He had to go out of his way to completely bash the idea, not just once, but on a few occasions - when enough is enough.

Most criticism here i think is credible. An RSX front end is not going to stand out, also the RSX and the Celica are basically equals, so this conversion would not be considered an upgrade as say a Supra or Skyline conversion would.

... and I completely understand that, but a Supra Conversion or Skyline conversion I think would be.. I couldn't even think what the Celica would come out looking like. Though the Celica line's may not flow with the headlights, the body designs are pretty similar, that's why I though the RSX Conversion would look clean at least, considering they have a similiar shape. Trying to keep to something similiar, instead of going way out over the edge. A friend wanted me to do a 96-98 Civic Front End Conversion, and I just kind of starred at him.

:bs: paying someone else to build your motor doesn't make you more mechanicly inclined, i bet they let you tighten a few screws just to humour you, just because you're going turbo (if you even are) doesn't cancel the fact that you are a ricer. To further prove my point you make ricer excuses about your tires and clutch slipping another ricer trademark. the truth is, you bash on honda owners, (and it's not like you put any wit into it either) yet your car is a p.o.s.

honda's rice scene? haha, give me a break. you're the one with the los angeles dodgers interior scheme.

also, for your information. i have a jdm ls/vtec setup which will soon be completed. i bet you anything it's far more complex than any turbo you slap on your 2zz. let's see you get 220hp to the wheels all motor in your celica.

funny how the slow always say they have bald tires and a slipping clutch. maybe the a/c was on too? who knows.

btw, my guage trim is painted silver. that's about it, i didn't spill the paint onto the center console like you did.

bottom line: do your thing and i'll do mine. stop making assumptions 'cause i know for a damn fact that there are a ****load of all motor hondas that can take your boosted 2zz any day. that's honda's rice scene for you.

EDITED FOR GTSJASON's PIECE OF MIND

:whogives: ...... EVERYONE WHO TUNES CARS has at one point or another had some sort of rice, on one car or another....

THE RICE term is overused....and way over abused.....

THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION is "pot calling the kettle black"......the Celica and RSX are not usually either company's RICER cars....its usally the C'O'rolla and Civic.

PAINT YOUR CONSOLES, PAINT YOUR STOCK CALIPERS, TINT YOUR WINDOWS.....whatever color you would like.

Straight up all that needs to be said here is this "they're just as many riced out Toyotas as there are Hondas".....

THE ONLY STAB I've made towards hondas is this "Hondas are like cheap gas, just a lot of additives"....and its as true as it can get....Hondas HAVE MORE BOLT ON PARTS THAN ANY CAR ON THE MARKET.....and that can be taken anyway you would like...Negative or Positive.

I love cars from both.....the s2k is a great car....the supra was a great car...the celica IS a fine automobile....yada freakin yada

if you do the conversion, dont buy the black projector headlights they suck.

you can either buy the stock headlights and paint them black, or you can go with a projector retrofit (around 700$) lower if you can do it yourself.

projectors from a s2k, tsx, a4 are the most common ones to use.

you wont be happy with the black projectors that you can find on some sites. they have horrible beam output

thats another thread.

As far as the conversion goes , while it might be unique you have to remember that there is a balance between tasteful and distasteful. If you were going to go through with this I would atleast try to keep the headlights of the celica just because of the unique design of them . If you friend is that good with a bodyshop and materials why not just make your own kit though? Or buy a kit and modify that though? It would be more unique and noones going to be for or against a conversion.

How about a 2005 Corvette headlight conversion?( have sharp lines) I would say Ferrari, but the headlights would prolly cost out the ass. And the new vettes front end reminds me of the Ferrari headlights and have HIDs. If not then go with the RSX conversion. I like all cars domestics and import. My last car was a 98 Mustang V6, and now i have a Celica. I do like the celica better though.

JasonGTS

03-21-2005, 11:23 AM

Well, he's been tossing the idea of trying to reproduce some kind of JGTC Celica knock-off Custom Widebody. I'm beginning to kind of second guess the RSX Front End Conversion, considering there soo many other little parts we'd have to remove and install that goes beyond just body (ie: Radiator Mount, and tons of other things). I think as we look further and further into the small details, we've just get more and more turned off to the idea.

The problem (not really a problem) is that he's hype about working on my Celica, so he's constantly trying to grasp ideas. I told him if we don't go with the Conversion, lets at least try to work with something Widebody, something with more of a "shelf" than the APR Kit, something that looks like it glides, is wide, and low - something that makes you go "holy **** thats wide.". I showed him pictures of the JGTC Celica, and he fell in love. The only part i'm not to fond of is the mouth on the front bumper, I just can't grab a style that i've really liked - though we have the perfect idea for the rear.

We've been dancing around on the internet all day, looking at details, trying to pull things together, we've been out looking at lines and curves on my Celica, trying to draw details together in our heads before we actually throw anything solid down.

We can argue about rice all day between toyota and honda...but the simple fact is that toyota has taken leaps to redesign our celica every couple of years so we dont have to try and put another cars front end on. We have the most unique import in our class hands down. I mean come on now, how much has the civics body changed over the years...lol, and we all see how similar the rsx's body is to ours. I'm pretty sure but not positive that the celica has be around longer than any other import on the scene still. Am I correct? This is a thread in the appearance forum. We're not talking about 2zz's or spoon engines in here so leave that nonsense some where else.

Ofcourse there are gonna be riced out celica's and rsx's because where in that price range where idiots can afford our cars. If you wanna avoid owning a car that has been riced out by the dumb f*ck down the street, save up and get a 350Z or an RX-8 or something in that class. I've never seen any cars in that class remotely close to bein riced out on the streets.

But someone should step up and start one of these threads atleast once a month cause it really is entertaining...lol

wow i just waste 15 min of my life that im never going to get back reading this repeating thread
some of you people sound like old ladies fighting over bingo

bottom line if you want to do this rsx conversion then do it as long as your happy with your car
i dont have to drive it so i honestly dont give a **** if you do it or not.

THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION is "pot calling the kettle black"......the Celica and RSX are not usually either company's RICER cars....its usally the Carolla and Civic.

ITS SPELLED COROLLA
and BTW i dont thing the honda and toyota executives sit around and designate which cars are going to be thier companies "ricer cars"

I think some of you honestly cannot read. The topic of the thread was about doing a Conversion. The topic had nothing to do with the Celica being better than an RSX, or vice versa - had nothing to do with which gets better aftermarket.

I simply wanted to do something that has not been done to the ****ing Celica yet, is it THAT HARD of a concept to grasp? Most of you have made a ****ing joke out of my thread, and its quite ridiculous. I was expecting maybe something like "do this conversion instead if you looking for a conversion...", there was nothing special about the RSX in particular, except that it had a similiar body, which made me think about doing the Conversion, I could careless if the RSX handled worse, or pushed more power. If I had a better idea, i'd probably be working on that INSTEAD, considering I posted the thread to get people's opinions, I was LOOKING for that better idea, not for the thread to get spammed, trashed and raped.

Thanks again everyone, for giving me the impression that the Community is completely worthless.

Edit: Thanks to those of you in the first 5-7 posts of the thread that actually added some personal insight and constructive criticism.

AND I NEVER FREAKIN SAID "they sat down and designed 'RICER CARS' " I was also referring to The PRICE RANGE.....JUST TO CLARIFY that for you.

Sooooo.....i say you take the TIME next time to read and entire post.

I was just trying to get everyone back on the TOPIC....the pros and cons of the actual conversion.

If you liked your "rolla" that much....go trade in ur Celica.

Back on topic, mod your car however you want, but don't be mad if people tell you they don't like it. If you can get your car to even half look like the JGTC celica, then :drool: Only problem is the chassis was lowered, so things won't line up the same way, unless you're willing to fork over the cash to get that to work, too.

Seriously man, I dont understand why people have to register on this site just to come defend their hondas. so :lame:

About your plans, I like your widebody Idea better. I mean when I think about it there isn't that many flared celicas using other kits besides the APR. I've only seen the TRD and Veilside. Try a new kit and make it widebody, Maybe the Kaminari or trial? that would be hot!

wow.. But to stay on topic, I think it's a very interesting idea and cool to be unique but like most have said I don't think the RSX headlights really carry the celica body lines. Do something unique like that but it might be a good idea to look for somethin else. Good luck and I cant wait to see what you guys do!! :thumbup:

i think it's pretty lame too. especially the fact that i only came here to defend my car and my fellow honda owners from some guy that thinks we're all rice, but then his interior is dodger blue.

like i said before, i like the celica and what it has to offer. i try to respect other people's cars as much as i can and give props to those who deserve it, but to whoever got this all started with your honda/acura stab, you're the kinda person i would shake my head to in disappointment when you rev on me on the streets.

i swear, up to this point i thought all celica owners were level headed people that knew their stuff and had respect for the scene because that's all i've met so far. thanks for changing my outlook. i guess nothing's perfect.

i want to apologize to other celica owners i might have offended. i just hope some of you understand why i came here in the first place.

Celica's are getting quite the rep here in Los Angeles as being the new king of rice over throwing the Civic. But regardless of rice, this conversion is still stupid.

^^ you got me. lol i don't know either.

there IS an rsx with ecelica front end conversion here though. i don't care for conversions very much but i do have to admit the guy pulled it off as good as it could get. also has nsx scoops and lambo doors

...so i dunno what the hell you'd call an rsx-celica-nsx-murcielago, but whatever.

yeah it's different south of Los Angeles. over here in L.A., rice doesn't discriminate. import, domestic, unexplainable.. it's all here. that's why i like going to orange county and nearby communities. i get props from great drivers and great cars instead of revs from fnf drivers with cars that look like space ships.

I got a rsx :)

Personally i'd rather see you try to make the widebody kam kit (like someone said earlier) more then the headlight conversion. I just dont think it would like right on the celica.

too much damn drama though
