oh the celica is my demo car. . . i do audio installations if anybodys interested, cheeky plug, the celica is LOUD
dont want to sound like a bore, and my that car looks nice, but would this not have been better to post in the "pictures of members cars" thread?
makes it easier to find stuff if its in the right place
oh, and you had better watch out that the feds dont catch you with that number plate AND windows that dark, its a traffic cops dream at the mo.
legal issues aside, it does look the business. and that celica aint bad too.
E
iv posted there before and every one knows my car, but i put it here for oppinions on the plate and tints s;) ;) s;)
the tints dont look too dark when you take the roof off and visibility from inside is not impared at all s:) :) s:) plus it looks gooooodddd. i had darker tints on my mk1 and got stopped, these are almost legal i think, not too bad
Quote from: "enid_b"and you had better watch out that the feds dont catch you with that number plate
E
As long as the car is a JDM the number plate is legal s:P :P s:P
Hope I haven't started another argument s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
Pete
nice one, i am more than happy to stand corrected. the windows are a bit dodgy though. i know that the rozzers have a new toy for measuring the amount of light which can pass through. as a result im sure they will be super keen to use it.
one for us all to be aware of me thinks.
E s:D :D s:D
NICE CARS,,,,,DONT BE SO HARD ON THE FEDS,,,THEY MUST GET REALLY BOARD SITTING WAITING FOT SPEEDERS,,,THIS WILL ADD A LITTLE SPICE TO THERE DAY s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

Show us your install then?
looks nice in the black, maybe you should try and come out to the essex meet on the 9th.
its just up the m11. s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
i may do that, for you guys JAP NIGHT at the ace cafe, always good, its this tuesday (first tuesday of every month) i will show you pics of the install and a video a little later as i have to upload them.
are the plates legal on a jdm car then or what :O im shocked
no
one thing i absolutely love about the forum is the quick replys, well done guys s:D :D s:D
You tinted the side windows? On a two-door convertible? I really hope you don't drive anywhere near me at night... s:roll: :roll: s:roll: s:evil: :evil: s:evil:
What are the gauges for?
just as a quick aside dan, and sorry for TD, i just watched someone trying to get into a vx220. i had heard it was a struggle, but now i have seen it, i fully understand the extent of the dexterity required. this one had the roof (of sorts) off too.
good work fella
E
TD over
one is oil temp one is watertemp, they are apexi i think. . . cant remember actually, the windows are not dark from inside mate! they a new tech tint, i forgot the name of that too lol, solarsomething or the other
They are tinted. They are darker than stock from the inside. 'Tech tint' or not, they're still frickin' dangerous at night, especially in a car like the '2. I drove a Clio 1.8RS a while ago at night (mate's car, he was drinking so I drove him home) and that has much less tinted windows than yours AND better visibility due to more windows, and it was still scary as hell driving it back! Sorry to go on, but it's a pet hate and is just about one of the most dangerous chav add-ons you can get hence the reason I'm glad that the police are going to be clamping down on it!
Besides the tints, the car does look very good. See, I'm not all bad s;) ;) s;)
haha s;) ;) s;) personal preference, i like loud music, but i dont like being stared at either, tints the best option, neh neh you cant seee meeee s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
*gives up*
after he hits someone and they punch a hole clean through teh window, I'm sure they will see him just fine
Its called a Lux meter and if caught by the boys in their police cars you could be sitting at the side of the road picking it off the windows before you are allowed to move, never go to Southend on Saturday night with them, not if you want to keep them on the car anyway.
I like the look of your car, but along with the others - not the tints.

Quote from: "tupac2makaveli71"haha personal preference.
So what you are saying is that you know they are illegal but your personal preference is to go ahead and break the law anyway?
What would your "personal preference" have to say if your reduced vision at night caused an accident that injured or killed someone due to your illegally tinted side windows?
*MOD* Fixed BBcode - Dan
A bloke at work got stopped for his tints last week on a Soarer and had to rip them off before he was allowed to go on. They used the Lux meter to check the light level and they only just failed.
Well with all the comments aside your 2 is looking nice s:) :) s:)
I especially like the stealth look of the Celica ...simple and nice, while looking a bit mean s:) :) s:)
A friend has just had his X5 tinted...not too dark...just on legal...looks the business ...and he had it done cheap as the guy had a cancelation s;) ;) s;)
yeah i done it my self s:) :) s:) so my plate could be deemed legal s:D :D s:D im going to print that off and keep a copy in my car now, thanks peter
only snag is teh fornt of teh 2 can take a standard sized plate without alteration, so that info becomes irrelevant
rear is another matter
Your pictures show two plates - which one are you talking about, if its the tiny one - something to consider - if you car was nicked then that couldn't be read by an automatic number plate reader - thus diminishing your chances of the car being recovered.
hmm quite true liz. . . markiii my trd kit cant take a normal sized plate look at the recess and that square one is ugly imo, ruins the whole car from the front . . . and tbh if my car gets nicked its not likely to be driven around, probably get stuck in a container back to japan
Its got to be driven to the container and ANPR's are everywhere! Its down to you, of course, but you asked for opinion - if you get caught with that on you will get a Fixed Penalty notice for failing to display an index plate - £30.00 and the inconvenience of going to an MOT station- even though you have one - it isn't legal.

yeah but can the ANPR actually read plates..... not too well from what i am told. lol
Not the small ones, I checked on my ANPR reader!
from what markiii said my plates legal though
square one is legal, small on isn't
ohh great lol

Well if you like them then put the old stock springs back on, thats if you have lowered your car?!
i really like them mate, but then i also like being as low as i am (along with all the troubles its worth it as i love the handling and looks) but i didnt lower it it came this low and its not coilovers im afraid just springs and shocks
So youre not sure if its lowered or it isnt lowered?
i like the headunit you have there what is it?
no the cars DEFINATLEY lowered, been next to other mr2's and its like they are on stilts, the headunit its a kenwood dvd screen s:) :) s:) i modified the original housing (which was for a double din unit) to fit my single din screen with a storage cubby ontop s:) :) s:)
out of interest (as these last few days had a bit of trouble from the police) how much do you think my car is worth, you have seen the pics, w plate, 50k km's service history, 4 months tax and a years mot (il get it done) with the dvd player and such? thanks for any input
oh i have ac too s:) :) s:)
oops just realised your talking about the headunit in the celica, its the one that came with my mr2, its a aftermarket cartoiza pioneer jobbie, its actually really good and the functions on it are unbelivable, packed full of features

That must mean serious trouble and likely to lose licence - come on and spill - what did you do?
something like that s:oops: :oops: s:oops: need a bigger and automatic car to not get me in trouble i thinks, nothing is definate, lets just see how much my car is worth s:) :) s:)
Imported car with all the ad ons maybe £4500?
Selling already hey??
The mods may make it a bit trickier to sell.
What size are the wheels? are they 18s? and do they rub through excess diameter / width / incorrect offset?
4500 s:? :? s:? i was offerd 7 in a part x s:? :? s:? s:? :? s:? iv got the original toyota wheels on there atm as the lenso's rubbed
Rip his arm off!!!!!!
Whats it against? a 20k fiesta?
Seriously, 4.5 seems a tad low, maybe a bit of a gentle armtwist from mr T??? but 7 seems too high from a dealer for it not to be against a loaded up price on the car you were thinking of pxing against.
What size were the lensos? I am just trying to make a mental note of other reasons why they didn't fit aside from your car being lowered -
like
- they were massive and 18"
- They were massively wide up front 225+ 7.5j etc
- They were a strange offset
- Your car was just too damn low!
Yeah I was pushing it a little but he does actually want £7,000 for a 8 year old import.
Lets hope the trade in is worth it against the Veyron s:) :) s:)
Im still interested to hear what the bit of trouble with the police was all about?
same here!
forget about the police, with the tyres, the were 215/45/17, offset of 35 if i remember correctly, the part x was a small dealer against a s2000 (which i wont get insured on and its not a good idea to get a faster car) but i would want atleast at the bear minumum 6500, is this reasonable?
Quote from: "tupac2makaveli71"forget about the police....
You mentioned it, tell us what you done and we will tell you what your likely to get!
nooo lizzie i would rather not talk about it, i have a few friends in the force and iv spoken to them about it, its not too bad but i dont want to get slated none the less
Ok then! I am not the only curious one though!! s:D :D s:D
6500 reasonable?
6.5k private on a good day with a fair wind and if the car is mint.
Is it the naughty police or fashion police that are after you? s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
naughty police arnt the fashion police gay people?
Strange as it may seem, the fashion police are people who police fashion as opposed to the [mod]removed[/mod] police, which are the ones you are referring to
Quote from: "uktotty"as opposed to the [mod]removed[/mod] police,
Some people may find terminology like this to be offensive. I certainly do. Would any of the Mods mind pointing this out to the gentleman in question.
Phil s:x :x s:x
Quote from: "uktotty"Strange as it may seem, the fashion police are people who police fashion as opposed to the [mod]removed[/mod] police, which are the ones you are referring to
<<MOD - There are several persons on here who work for the police - myself included - and yes I do find that offensive - please refrain from using this type of language in the future.>>
[mod] In fact - regardless of whoever the word was directed at (police, or otherwise), I personally don't see a need for that kind of language on a family board that should be without prejudice.
To that end, I've removed it from the posts it showed up in (I think, unless I missed any).
This is a family board (yes, there are members here under 18 ), and if you want to talk like biggotted chavs you really should find another board. [/mod]

Just for clarification on my post, 'naughty police' as in the ones you get in trouble with and 'fashion police' for excess RICE etc. No innuendo intended - in fact I thought 'fashion police' was a standard joke among friends for questionable taste - is it not? - so i am perplexed and sorry about the course it has taken on subsequent posts.

The Demo car is in Coventry and I do most of my install work out of Didcot. I just live in West London.
Sincere appologies guys, have just seen the edits to my post, never meant to cause any offence and everyone here has been nothing but kind and supportive.
Sorry for any offence caused, it will not happen again.

[mod] Thanks for the apology Russ - that doesn't happen often and is appreciated, believe me. [/mod]
it would be hard to sell the car on here unless you tell us wether the police trouble was something to do with the car or something to do with your driving or your licence. This would be needed by a prospective buyer.
it was NOTHING to do with the car, its to do with me
Was it the three foot reefer poking out of the blacked out windows?
golly gosh i stopped that nonsense ages ago s:lol: :lol: s:lol: it was something totally different but the fact is im in trouble and need some cash so have to buy something a little cheaper
