Hey guys..im sad to see my car go..but i gotta.

I must say the Celica is an exellent car that is well balanced and overall a great car..Ive enjoyed modding this car and enjoy what i have done with no regrets as i modded this car with a true passion with cars and admire what other celica owners have done to their car.

9.30am MEET to leave at 10.00am SHARP

damn it!

i'll be going rain hail or shine...damn weather. ive been so excited

nice looking list..any1 from mr2.org.au coming?

$400 is an extremely good price for fitment, considering carmate make bulk kits daily therefore carmate are more likely to do a better job considering they are fibreglass moulders...

dude u need to do more research...i work around the corner from carmate and carmate are not fibreglass moulders they import their bodykits by container load from places in the asia region where they cheaply mass produce bodykits where quantity not quality shows when the manufacturer makes the fibreglass kits.

Its upto peoples personal opinion but from what i have seen and i have dealt with carmate i would never encourage ppl to buy carmates products, even the owners car looked like **** with a really bad fitting bodykit that looked total crap and hes the owner of carmate.

I know a fibreglass moulding kit place that actually makes their kits here in sydney and offers replacement warranty if ur not happy with the way the kit fits. The part owner of this particular business said that carmate way over charge for their bodykits and are of bad quality, hes also had carmate buy kits from him because of carmates reputation going down the drain.

Research before you type d!ckhead. I watched a documentary on the movie. The car was real, and it used a bomex kit (one example of many decent bodykits you can grab) and I've researched the materials used in the making of the c-one kits and bomex kits (not to mention MANY others). Research is an amazing thing.

You clearly need to do it instead of coming in here and saying, "Ho ho ho mate you're a w@nker ho ho ho grow up ho ho ho". I've SEEN the what happens with fibreglass kits and was offering input and was not maliciously attacking anyone at all. My opinions are in no way biased, and neither are any others in this thread itself. THEY ARE BASED ON OPINION AND FACT. Speaking of which, you seem very opinionated yourself (even though you are somewhat similar to a gibbering mental patient). So why don't you take your opinions and overgrown egotisical excuse for a cerebral cortex and take them to Carmate if you love them so much? We really don't care what you do.

IT'S NOT ABOUT STANDING OUT WITH MOST OF US. IT'S ABOUT WALKING OUT INTO YOUR DRIVEWAY AND SAYING, "I LOVE MY CAR, AND HOW IT GOES AND LOOKS...AND I WANT TO DRIVE IT."

Do you really think the people that have fitted sportivo kits to their rollas care about what you're saying?

You grow up, and go be a show pony somewhere else.

PS: Why don't you put a fully sick kit and paint job on an Excel with 20's? What an idea. You'll stand out then (as a moronic ******) but hey, you'll still stand out.

well said

how many ppl are coming so far?

STAY AWAY FROM CARMATE! my gf bought me side skirts from carmate for my celica and then when i saw my car after they painted and fitted the side skirts onto my car is was so dissapointed because of big gaps, there was paint runs all over the side skirt, the whole quality of the side skirt and the painting was so bad i made them paint the side skirt again...i ended up just getting new side skirts when i got my complete kit from another place.

My friend bought a kit from them after not listening to me and he got ripped off hard and he tried getting his kit fitted but panel shops ending up rejecting the job because they saw how bad quality the kit was so he ended up trying to fit the kit himself with lots of modifications, in the end it looked look **** and the car looks bodgy and no1 wants to buy his car

damn i love hondas

ok thats good then...im looking forward to it

is this still going ahead? it doesnt seem like theres much interest in the post

Hi there

I had the exact problem, the box whine when driving. Stop whining when I depress the clutch pedal. Took it to toyota and they re-grease my clutch bearings.

I hope that helps :)

really? whats involved in regreasing ur clutch bearings? yeh the noise disappears when the clutch in engaged when cruising, the noise isnt heard when idling. i drove the car on car stands and i couldnt hear the whine

do your oil first mate

use redline mt-90

u need a little more than 2 quarts if they do a full flush!

i gave toyota more than 2 quarts when i wanted them to do my sportivo box but, they ended up giving me back one bottle almost full =S

how much does 2 quarts cost and where can u get it from? would a 80w/90 gear oil be bad for our gear boxes? im thinking a thicker oil will reduce the whine or even hopefully make it go away

does the noise go away when you engage the clutch?

yeh the noise is gone when i engage the clutch, its weird because it doesnt make the whine when the car is cold...which im thinking the oil must be thicker to stop the noise and once the oil thins out u can hear the whine from the gearbox.

is there anything i can do besides rebuilding the gearbox?

my car is a 2000 celica...the whine and rattle is more noticeable when coasting and the car is warm

in the mornings when my car is cold my gearbox doesnt whine or rattle but as soon as my car warms up u can hear the whine coming from the gearbox, i was thinking if a thicker gear oil will help say 80w/90 atm im using a castrol vmx75w/85 oil would this help if i used a thicker gearbox oil?

sounds good 2 me

hey guys ive just posted on ozcelica.com the details so hopefully we get alot celicas to come on the cruise...it should be great.

IM SO EXCITED!!! LOL
