That's because it's still stock.

I just applied at Wendy's, Hardee's and Taco Bell, the only three places in my town I haven't applied at yet. If I don't get a job at one of them, I think I'll kill myself. I need a goddamn job and some goddamn money.

your Celica is the only one that is 0% rice
The green T20 does give a rice feel with the banner and wing etc.
but is actually the most performance minded car of the pack, it has a 300+ hp 3S-GTE engine with LSD, 6 pot front calipers en bigger disks, Tein coilover suspension and more but don't know all details

Here's a vid I made when we went to the dyno:


He started out more as a visual styler but once he swapped the engine he started going for performance, he recently removed his huge audio setup and for track days removes all his rear interior.

The first silver one started out the same only visual stuff like the paintwork, rims etc, but the last year he started doing more performance mods, he changed his complete exhaust system for a stainless one with sports cat, changed his intake, after that started upgrading his brakes because they where a bit weak, so opted for the T-sport brakes (normal Celicas had smaller front brakes) upgraded the disks and pads for Stoptech groved disk and better pads, and added steel brakelines, then the suspension was upgrade with BC coilovers and Hotchkis swaybars.
And visually he changed his car also, just finished it the last couple of days, can't show pics yet because it's to be revealed next sunday at a big Japanese carshow/race.
The next upgrade will be lighter rims and stickier tyres.

The 2nd silver car is the actual 'ricer" hes basicly all show and no go, 2 huge subwoofers and loads of extra sound insulation, runs on heavy 18" wheels and has a stock 140 hp engine with over 200k on it (km that is) ooh wait he has a dual exhaust (that if lucky doesn't do anything performance wise... and if not... lowers it..) and a INJEN short ram intake.

The 3rd silver one is also stock except for the OZ rims, and some handling tweeks, some DIY
Enginewise it's all stock, but it ran the fastest times of us all (he showed some of his movies here also (see your cars)
It is stripped of a lot of weight removed most of the interior and isolation.

The red one looks rather rice for far away, but is a normal Celica with a TRD kit on it but is covered with sponsor decals, and they really are sponsors apart from the racing number, it's just there for the looks of it.
He had a 1.8->2.0 conversion to his 1ZZ-FE engine done and several other mods to the car, also the car is without rear seats and other trunk parts etc.
KammyworldRacerGT4 wrote:That's because it's still stock.
Stock in terms of looks.... yes...well not really, I got the raised hoodscoop... and it's not really functional... ok according to C-One it should give better cooling to the exhaust...
performance wise it's not much eighter (yet) only suspension parts like swaybars and a flex control bar, lowering springs
and a Blitz exhaust.
Plans are a Blitz Advance power induction kit (ordered) and some small other parts for the engine, and after that a coilover set, but has to be one that is comfortable enough for normal driving.
But the engine tweeks should be done this year, have to wait for several parts and can take a while.

Ive looked all summer and couldnt get a job anywhere :x

@ TheStig ya that blue celica would look better without those taillights and maybe a more neatral color, but performance wise its good. Your celica, maybe just new rims, a nice set like work emoticons or volk ce28's.

The Colour on the T20 Celica is a stock colour, I personally don't care for the lights either, but he.... it's his car.

I keep my stock rims for now, they are pretty light and I like the style, if they where 17" I wouldn't change them at all I think... but they are 16" and If I increase my HP with bigger mods, I need bigger brakes. and the average big brake kits require 17" rims.
the replacements need to be light, and look nice. but that is all a issue for later.

hmmmmm.... normally people make a website about stuff they want to share with other people.... and not make a site because they can....

Maybe first think of something that you want to share with people and Then think about a way to share it.

It'll probably be free I'm still learning HTML and It probably won't be up and running for a while a long while. Also it depends on which host I sign with I'm still learning as I said so I probably won't have that information for a while.

Recovered from what I would like to call one of the worst days of luck in my life.

Last Sunday, I was traveling to work when one of the tyres on the Skyline let go on the exit of the roundabout. Hit a high kerb, damaged a wheel, flattened two more tyres and narrowly missed a lamppost.

Then on the same day while out 4WDing the transfer case on the Sierra chucked the s***s on me and it had to get towed home 80kms away.

I got the Skyline back on the road, just needs a wheel alignment as it pulls to the left a bit. Had to get the spare wheel out of the boot and get to a wreckers to replace it. AU$130 for a new wheel, two 215/65R14 tyres for the rear and a 195/60R14 for the spare.
