looks good but thats an awefully short engine mods list

 

he's supercharging it over the winter, i'm convincing him to use turbocharging though.

 

The supercarger for that car is only 40 or 50 ponies(come from a toyota engine) he should turbo the car for sure always liked the celica gts,I think your buds just a gt? but the graffix is too much.. just noticed it is the gt a Sc is only going to put him at 180, defeneitly turbo

 

x2... nice pics, but the first 5 are pretty much the same... too much bling for me, with nothing to back it up...

 

I like those wheels a lot!

 

yeah his is a GT, but that plays into his favor with forced induction because the compression ratio is a bit less than the GTS, he doesn't have to worry about throwing a lift bolt, and he put in a new motor a few months ago with less mileage on it because his original blew with 96,000 on it. also, with a turbo he can always cut back the boost a little easier than with an S/C if he needs to.

it's been a show car, but like we said there's a turbo or S/C coming over the winter

 

maybe a dif location next time...

 

Hell know what im sayin, I had the Vibe gt(matrix xrs) turboed with just the celica gt sc they are fast of the line lots of torque

 

not a big fan of the cars styling but it's his car so more power to him. as for the pics, it's a bad spot for a photoshoot and most of the pics are from the same angle. did you mess with the settings on your finepix a350? i would play with the settings and take lots of close up pics since it's a P&S camara. gl on the next photoshoot.

 

All show... No go...

Looks good though

 

with out those wierd decals its a pertty decent celica.

 

if it's a show car, why bother? i mean a turbo or supercharger would just be for MORE looks.

personally, i think that a really sexy custom header and polished valve cover looks a lot sharper than some stupid blower.

 

wow how'd you know what camera it was, lol? yeah the spot was kinda spur of the moment, it was on the street the show was on, didn't really plan it much. i definitely have to read into some of the settings and features more to get the most of the camera. if you have any other tips that'd be great man, thanks.

 

i'm a mod, i know all. O.O i would invest in a tripod and take some night pics. make sure you turn off the flash when you take those.

 

I'm a fan of the TRD GT-S myself

if this one had less graphics and altezzas it'd look alot cleaner

is that big sticker on everyones car in your club?

 

cool thanks man. got the tripod thing covered already, used it in those pics. just sent the camera back tho because there's something wrong with the lens, did you notice the blurry spot in some shots, off center slightly to the right?

ninja-
yes that logo is a mandatory requirement of all cars in our club, everyone's is unique in colors/patterns to match their cars. we can also do full digital print on them now, which makes the possibilities almost endless. mine has an exploding star in it, and in the lower "N" on the door, there is a picture of my last car.
