Mods in the pipeline

[Matty P]

So... what mods have you all got in the pipeline at the moment?

I've resigned myself to the fact that my Celica is going to stay stock until I sell it.

I do plan to get a whiteline strut tower brace and some REALLY good tyres (maybe Potenza S02 or S03) to help the grip in corners, but that's about it.

How about the rest of you?

hi,

i just installed blitz intake and RMM strut bar, intake no different at all to me!

i planning to get whiteline rear sway bay?

do u know where can i get them and how much? I dont know any shops that sell them.

i know one workshop in artarmon and they SUX big time overcharged on everything!!!!!!!! and do a ****ty job

i love to get a bodykit but since i park my car at uni all the time, thats a bad thing, i got my car keyed twice at uni already and most of my friends car also got keyed!

$%#@%$@% Macquarie Uni, actually a saw a guy keyed a car last week at uni!

[MattZR]

which blitz intake have you got? how much was it? where did u get it from?
as fot the sway bar, call up whiteline or check www.whiteline.com.au for info.
i want an intake, thats prob my next mod.

****n cant stand arseholes that damage cars. if i saw someone do it would key them...its just jealousy

[Matty P]

Yeah, I wouldn't expect much of an improvement with an intake - that's why I couldn't be bothered with mods like that.

Bodykits are also a waste of money for the Celica IMHO because it already has a very sleek and attractive shape. I would rather spend the money on some nice rims and some suspension work than a heavy, unnecessary bodykit.

With the whiteline stuff, go to www.whiteline.com.au (http://www.whiteline.com.au)

They have a listing of their suppliers around Australia - alternatively, you can order it straight from whiteline and get it installed by whoever you want!

People who key cars should be shot on sight - mandatory death sentence. There is NO excuse for it. I hope that when you saw the guy keying a car you either kicked the crap out of him or informed the police/security!!

are u sure no difference? Maybe i am better off getting a CAI?? i want the blitz intake SUS i think it is.
Anyone know where I can get an Ijnem CAI in australia???

[xtravagant_boi]

What i think is the weight of the new celica is not heavy enough to make the tyres like S02 or 03 to stick on the ground properly, cos someone (he works in the tyre shop) told me that the BS S series is for the Higher class performace car such as Skyline, Holden HSV and stuff like that, if the weight of the car is not enough, the tyres won't be able to push to stick on the ground properly so it's no use. I think BS Grid III, RE010, RE711 is the better choice.

Falken Azenis series is good but their tyres start of fxxx up when there are more than 50% of wear, Dunlop SP9000 and FM901 is good also but they are not grip as the BS tyres or you may try the Toyo but they are not as good as BS also

It's all of my personal opinion. Please correct me if i am wrong

[ty801]

i got the intake from chiptoque.com.au ???? but it take a while to get to me. i have the blitz LM series (paper style)

also check out ebay.com and enter "celica intake" they have some copys of AEM style intake for USD50+

dont worry abt warranty just change back to standard if there is any problem, my good freind works in Phul mccarroll so i dont care he will fix everything for me.

I replaced my driver seat few times cos i told him it is fading out! hahahah

do u guys know any good workshop in north shore areas?

thanks guy!

[MattZR]

the only one i know of is bd4s at gladesville. they did a mates 200sx and are good quality workshop.
u reckon u can get my drivers seat replaced?? i accidentally burnt a slight hole in it with a cigarette butt.
i used to go to school with phil maccarolls son.
chip torque are ****, i rang them, they told me to ring silverwater automotive services, i rang them, they guy goes im busy ill call u back, he never rang. **** that.

i accidentally burnt a slight hole in it with a cigarette butt.

i really not sure, just tell them there was a tear and got worst and worst (ie: the hole got bigger and bigger)
sorry! for my bad english!

BD4 i been there b4, i was going to dyno my car but i didnt have time cos exams coming up! i will go when i come back from my trip!

How much is PIAA super while H7 cost in sydney? if it too expensive i will get them elsewhere!

go to ebay and buy the intake! less trouble and u can install it urself its not that hard!

i want to whiteline site, there r several rear sway bar to choose and i not sure which one is it? can someone help me out?

http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/CK_CelZZT231.PDF

there r a few to choose from BTR74, BTR74Z and BTR74XZ, which one should i choose?

[platnm]

my mods in the pipeline... intake and exhaust. im thinking when i get enough money to get a hi-tech exhaust, cat back. they said to expect 8kw at the wheels in gain.

Saving up for a set of Tein Type HA's and for some whiteline sway bars for this year. Also some Omori 45mm gauges to go in the Single DIN space I got left.

Next year, planning on a custom AP Racing 4 piston front caliper brake setup, Nitrous Express kit, new clutch/flywheel and hopefully Kaaz Helical type LSD (when/if it is released).

Not sure about the TRD header and high CR pistons yet. Wait and see what people in the US think when it gets released.

[DC2-R]

Sorry i just wanna ask that where can you get the Omoni Gauges? I mean where can i order it in australia?

And also for the PIAA super white, I've seen it, it's not even a white light, it's just something between Yellow and Light yellow, you rather buy the Carmate HID-look 4500K if possible.

[M SPEC]

I would'nt even bother with the so-called Australian distrubuters for Omori. They never got back to me. Get it cheaper buying direct from their mail order centre in Malaysia. They replied within 24hrs of my email enquiry. www.omorimeter.com . Pricing was very good, and others that have ordered from them I've talked to, have only good things to say.

To M Spec

How much did you pay in aus dollars for the gauges and the shippings?
