Hey Guys !!!!! I'm new here. My name is francis i'm from Québec. BTW. Yes i'm french ! I wan't to know what you guys think about that beautiful st-162 i just bought a couple of weeks ago. It has only 132 000 km and its in pretty good shape seriously. I"ll post a couple of pictures right here H
could use a bit of cleaning? great pick up with such a low mileage. not too fond of the wing in the back or the paint treatment with the grille/headlight surrounds, but i could get used to the interior...playstation 2 in the glove box!
Hi, welcome! That's a pretty tough looking Celica right there! Interesting front bar, never seen one like that, is it a custom job do you know? Any questions about your car feel free to ask, someone here will usually know the answer. Cheers, Matt
i didnt even catch the ps2....time to upgrade to the ps3.....nice looking cely but does need a damn good bath
Welcome from the UK Francis, looks like you've got a good Celica there....but as above.......needs a bath
Thanks for the welcome guys Yes it does need a bath indeed, but the picture were taken the day i bought it. And yes i'm thinking about updating to a ps3 MattC. Yes its a custom made body kit,the guy did it by himself at first i didnt really liked it but im getting use to it I'll post a little bit more in a couple a weeks after all the repair and the new paint job is done on the car !!!! Tell me guys what colour you think i should paint it ???? I need help with that because i still dont know
Welcome and Niiiiiice......... Give it a good going over as the lads said and put a heat shield on the exhaust. How's the books if any ?............. put all new fluids in. You've got a keeper there, what did it cost you ? Those wheels suit it and I too am curious about the body kit and there ain't nothing that can't be answered here :cheers BTW........... Have you heard anything about Luka Magnotta lately ????
Thanks for the comment Yes i have the original book that came with it I paid the car 3,500$ Candian so based on your location its 3,371$ AUD I guess !!! witch is a pretty good price for the condition of the car... the guy had it for 17 years... and its one of my neighbor so it nice to know the person who had the car before you... And No nothing about Magnotta :O Hahahah xD
paint color? since the body kit already is pretty loud/attention grabbing, you should stick with a subtle paint color. personally, i've fallen in love with this color: i suggest to get the oem spoiler and get it painted at the same time! cheap at the junkyards. also, the grille looks better painted black, just like the picture
That colour is definitly awesome... I really like it. Is it possible for you to give me the code of the colour ?
That looks like a gun metal grey similar to Lone Wolfs, .......... I'v always liked that colour. When I was working at mercedes benz they came up with a patented colour called 'Almandine Red' and I love it............ http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o144/89M5/SANY0003.jpg
Welcome! Nice ride！ I like the look of the front bumper... would look even better if you did some body work and blended your custom bumper to the old one FYI. For anyone interested in the custom bumper... I did a little bit of investigating and found out what car it came from. 2001-2003 Hyundai elantra 4 door gls with a cut grill... You can see a little bit of the grill still there.
you know, i've seen that front bumper here in the states. looks exactly the same.... hmm.... might be something we are missing. it definitely looks better than the one i found here though. the one i found had screws thats made for wood holding it to the front and masses of bondo trying to work it in. all in all. its a nice car. lots of potential and if you want to keep it that way, go ahead. not my cup of tea though. i like it all stock. =D good luck and have fun driving it for many years to come!!! oh, and welcome aboard
