The front end looks like a Nissan GTR and at the same time a bit like a 350z. Nice car!

No b12 are bilstein b8's matched with eibach lower springs. About 30mm lower and not harsh at all. If anything it rides harsh roads better than the standard schocks.

I have always thought they were newer than 2000/2002, more like 2005/2006. They seem to age quite well

Any recommendations on where to source or who to fit? moleymoley wrote: Nice mate, I like it, always fancied a GT spoiler for mine. This was mine by the way Looking nice! I do really like them! I did so much to mine, too much!! remix wrote: :mpsoc:   I see loads of those celica 190s still on the road, they are holding out well for their age or still very popular..I wonder how many were made. Will there be a new Celica or is that the GT86's job. There are less and less of them about! All the VVTi ones only have the 140bhp engine and that is the majority of what is up for sale!

I posted twice on Sunday and it said a mod would check it over. It still hasn't appeared here. Do all posts get vetted before appearing?
