I say verily unto you The Gen5 GT4 look is perfect, nothing from a Gen7 apart from the seats belong in a 5. Please don't barstardise your 5 Coop! I beg of you!!!
-
No, just no..
-
Bad times, my Gen 6 was keyed on every panel apart from the roof years ago. Eventually found out who the culprit was. Didn't get any £ back but stamping on his head made me feel a lil better. It's cowards who do this sort of thing. Hope it's sorted soon for ya bud.

"is that the new skyline?"
Errr that'll be a no....
-
Always done mine myself and as Booth said I just keep the receipts.
-
I have one too and had no probs with MOT and have known of people getting them posted to them too.
With police currently enforcing silly laws very rigidly you could in theory be done for owning a pyrotechnic if they for some reason did a search of your veichle.
Both our cars had them but binned them as imo zero requirement for them and only takes one drunk passenger to cause mayhem.
I had my car searched last year and the copper asked me what it was, I told him its a flare that comes with Jap imports and he just put it back there without question...
-
Thats strange as your numberplate is not legal?
That said mine passes everytime with no advisories

See now he has updated the description it's fine. It's worth £3500 all day! ;-)
-
eeerrrmm 250,000 pennies is £2500 i think?
Oops oh yeah my bad!!
-
Okay... so you guys... here's what you do.
You email him back, and you say - "There's a young squire on Celica Club that goes by the name of Rob. He's a valiant young chap who would be happy to take this fake TRD Celica off your hands for a grand total of a whole two hundred and fifty thousand Great British pence."
:rolleyes:
It's worth much more than yours rob!
Ok so the guy took it as p/x and was spun a yarn by the previous owner which he took as gospel and now has prob realised his error. Hardly warrants some of the stuff above does it. Now what if someone purchased the car and came on here? Would we kindly inform him about what his car is or rip the piss and say its worth £250??
I think not being the friendliest club an all. I think the car is quite nice just wrongly described by a trader who doesn't know much about Celica's.
I think I'm gettin old...
-
I call mine a TRD t sport because its a t sport with TRD skirts valance and spoiler on. Not because I claim it is a TRD model. The only reason I don't have the TRD front lip or bumper is cost.
You are right, this guy has gone a bit far tho, I have tried callin him to express an 'interest'
I used to refer to my TRD kitted 190 as a TRD-190 Celica for the same reasons as you but got too much stick for it from my mates so to shut em up u went and bought a real one lol.
-
Ok so he has described the car as a TRD version which is a fail but overall the car ain't too bad. Just ANOTHER TSport made to look like a GT.
Also isn't the only one to claim he has a TRD t-Sport lol there's a few on this club too!
Don't know if it came across properly, mocking his salesman tactic, "imported new from Japan". Every Celica is imported new from Japan!
Oops!!
-
I love how it used to have the 3 post spoiler, and it now looks like the middle part has been filled with a big blob of man juice
Looks like a cap to me or is it my old eyes?
-
I give you the limited edition Toyota S Celica TRD T Sport V,V,T,L,I with full TRD - 210bhp
Oh my. It was also officially imported from Japan from new (unlike all other Celicas, which are presumably built in Mexico?)
It's no fun looking for a decent car, but you do get the odd laugh
That's a UK T-Sport with 90% of the full TRD Action Package kit that includes that bonnet spoiler and the arch flares. Nothing apart from that and the eBay TRD badge...
Also all Gen7's are built in Susono, Shizuoka, Japan not sure where you got Mexico from! ;-)
EDIT to add, it's got a Sports-M scoop too and a closer look at the fitment and lines of the bodykit makes me think it may be genuine! You never know, it could have had all the optional extras from new! Must have cost a bomb!!
love the roof spoiler too!! Guy is def on drugs tho judging by the description! -
I've had mine rolled at the same place as J03 and after seeing how he did it, its definitely one job I would NOT tackle myself. As if you screw it up it wil cost £££ to sort out.
Ah ok, thanks mate. I suppose that's out of the question then. Did you suffer any ill effects such as paint cracking or anything?
-
I've been told that the paint can crack but as long as you use a bit of heat then it should be fine. Looking at this and thinking of having a go myself..
-
Thanks guys, is doesn't damage the paint at all does it? I think I'm gona contact Arch enemy, £90 seems reasonable for them coming to me. ;-)
-
A wonderfully written piece sir and a fantastic result too!
-
Hi guys,
I know this may be a silly question but what exactly is involved in rolling the rear arches? Anyone got any advice on doing this to a gen7 and how much it should cost?
Thanks
Tabba

Nice!!!
-
really!? i think we need proof! haha
Cant find the pics now but I did post on here I think LexGTS may remember..
-
I found a Japanese VHS porno video hidden inside the rear interior panel. Wierd...
-
I always wave at Gen7's and the response is mostly an open mouthed look of amazement lol, I do get alot more waves back from Honda Type R owners than Celica's.
pic of a gen 5 and gen 7 side by side.

Maybe experiment with moulding a lip onto the gt4 bumper?
