Disclaimer: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, i will not take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk! Well after getting alot of PM's about how to spray the rims i decided to do a writeup, and also because i needed to spray my spare. This is the CHEAP way of doing it, there is a proper more complex way of doing it which i will write in brackets along the way so u can do either way, but i only have pictures for the cheap style. Tools. can be found at Repco, autobarn, bunnings etc. 2 - 3 cans of Black wheel paint gloss or matt. or u can use any other colour u want, it dosent have to be wheel paint we used touch up paint on my friends r33 for gunmetal. u might need more cans depending on the size we used the big ones.. i duno its size LOL. 1 can of Primer. 1 can of Clear coat, same this can be any paint dosent have to be wheel paint. Sand paper, the very light one... i duno how much grit it is, but its really smooth. (heavy sand paper rough grit, to totally sand down the rim "this is the other way of doing it") Duct tape because masking tape dosent stick to the tyre. (u dont need tape if your going to remove the tyre.) 1. First of, take the rim off your car u can do it 1 at a time 2 or 4 at a time! but u cant do 3 :P just kidding. (if you have the money and want your rim to turn out beter, you could go to your local tyre shop and ask them to remove the tyres off the rims.) 2. Clean your rims with soap. 3. Put newspaper on the floor so u dont get paint on the concret :P and tape up the tyre 4. Tape up the tyre so you dont end up painting your tyers. if you have removed the tyre then dont worry about this step. Yes my rim is gold caus i did it gold hopeing it would look bronze but its ugly. (if you want your rims to turn out really good, sand down the rim fully, with the strong grit paper sand it down to the metal, this takes a very long time and hurts your hands :P once all the paint is off sand it with a lighter grit paper until its smooth.) 5. Once that is done, get the primer and shake the can, until you hear the bearing inside hit the bottom of the can keep going until theres little dints, trust me you will regret it if u dont. anyway the spray the rim with 1 coat, and leave it to dry for about 5 minutes. then do another coat. we used GRAY primer and it loosk like this 6. once the primer is on it might feel abit rough and have bubbles, sand it down with a light grit sandpaper lightly, once done dust off the rim make sure its clean. and its ready to be painted. 7. once the primer is dry you can get ready to paint, shake the can and spray it evenly on the rip hold it and dont let go of the nossle. make sure u hold it aound 20cm away or else it will get runny, with matt black you dont have to hold it too far caus it dosent run like the other colours. give it 1 coat evenly and then wait for it to dry. (if u want u can spray the inside of your rim first, the back side of it black or else it will keep abit of the stock silver colour in the back its upto you if u want to prime it or anything but i just sprayed it straight on. 8. after about 10 mins on a hot day or 20 mins on a cold day, the first layer is try then u can apply the second layer, and even out the colour. with black paint its very easy to get a even colour, where as with gold or anything else its abit harder. with this one i only did 2 layers caus i was lazy and it was already even, you can do another layer if u want. but i reccoment 3 layers if u want it to look really good, and/or if your doing a diffrent colour from black. 9. wait for it to dry and your ready to clear coat it, even layers around make sure it looks all glossy for the show ponys, if you did matt black then dont worry about clear coat. but if your doing gloss black like i did or another colour then u need clearcoat (clear coat is for showponys :P) i regret going gloss black but i cbf doing it all again. 10. apply about 2 layers of clearcoat to your rim and it should be done, depending on how even you did the clearcoat and your done your rims complete, the longer you leave it the better but yea when you put it on your car be careful you dont scrape the rim or the paint will come off. after about 3 - 4 days it should fulyl dry and it would be good. try not to drive too much when this is done. finished product and ready to roll :P anyway, if you did the completly sanded down version your rims should turn out super good and smooth like stock, thats how mine turned out anyway but i only did 1 caus i was lazy LOL. GL peoples any questions just pm me i hope everything was clear enough and im sorry about the typos :P

i have the exact same problem cept my gearbox hasnt blow yet, but my clutch is starting to slip. yea i got a quote at chasers, they said if they JUST replace the syncro it would be around 500, but thats when i just had syncro problem but they said if its toally ****** expect around 1 - 2k.

lol wasnt he talkin about a yellow celica brandon? depends on what u want really, there pretty wide selection of celica bodykits in the states, but here in australia its abit hard to get your hands on them, and if u do they are probally crappy fiberglass copies. if u want over the top show style kits , go for a veilside kit, maybe buddy club1 kit, bomex blitz not too overboard u could always go with the TRD kit which u can get genuine from toyota dealer but will be super expensive. or clean kits like the kiminari or elegance. or widebody like the apr ;P heres a link to pretty much all the parts u can get for a celica http://www.newcelica.org/partscatalog/page...?path=celicagts
