Guess What!

Whats up all, this is for people who own 1988 celica GT-S, I found out that you can get a body kit for a 94-95 honda accord 2 dr. and get it fitted to your car. Its allitle pricey but you can find way better kits. I'll have a picture soon of mine when it gets done witch will near the end or bigining of the year. talk to ya l8trz.

I wonder if you could put one on an '87..that's what I have, and it's the same body style as your's....hmmm...got me thinkin now

Peacefully :smoker2:,

Guerilla

yea I think you could. you'll just have to get it custome fitted thats all.

Where do you live in GA? because I'm going to get a shop in Bufurd to do mine. Its Ultimate Auto Boutique 770-932-1512. I should be getting all of this done soon this month or next month so I'll let you know how they do.

cool cool, im in Thomasville...way way south...right above Tallahassee Florida...i've never even seen a 94-95 body kit....o well

Peacefully,

Guerilla

here is the bodykit that i am getting. http://www.visionautodynamics.com/images/94_97_Accord_Xtreme_Full.jpg you'll find at http://www.visonautodynamics.com a body kit fora 94 honda accord.

just to let you know....
you left out an "i" in vision...it says vison...but nice...

will any body kit for that year fit, or just certain ones?

might see what i can do

Peacefully,

Guerilla

any, that's just the one i'm getting.

alright, thank you, good luck with ur car

Peacefully,

Guerilla

your welcome and thank you. and also good luck to you too.

does anyone besides me and you use this forum? lol

Peacefully,

Guerilla

where did you find that out?

I talked to a guy that works at a shop close to me that says he can do it, hes done it before. :sun:

when are you getting your fitted i wanna see it

well the bodykit is on its way now it will be about 3 or 4 weeks till it gets here and then I'm taking the car and kit to the guy amd some other things and get it done. He's also going to paint the car.

What color? mine's gonna be black with yellow interior, tearin off all my trim and everything

Guerilla

man, i couldnt put a body kit on my car if i wanted to. things got so much damn torque, the second i took off it would tear the bumper off. plus i dont think they make body kits for an 85. too square and boxy.

ok Vin Deisel :) j/k

you have performance parts or something? or just tweeked?

Peacefully,

Guerilla

well, i wouldnt really say PERFORMANCE parts...but the parts arent stock. its got a cone shaped air intake filter, exhaust headers, 2 1/2" diameter tailpipe, cat converter cut off, sport transmission. but with all those cool addons, i have a list of things that arent working right. alternators f-ed up, cracked block (put 15k miles on cracked block...weird) and several interior and exterior blemishes. i got so much air drag i cant get above 120. not cool

did you ever get your body kit?

Peacefully,

Josh

Oh man i forgot about this forum, hadn't been on here in foreva, But yea the bodykit is on, but I havn't seen it yet, my car has been in the shop getting everything done for like the past 2 1/2 months. Long story on that. Should have her back soon. and Will take tons of pictures!

what about an '89 st? i wanna see the pics! when are you gettin' it back?

If its the same bodystyle as the 88 I dont see why not. But i promise I will post the pictures when I take them! But i'll warn you. You might wanna be prepared to spend some money. I'm not quit sure how much its costing to just get the bodykit on. but everything is 5,000$'S But then again the paint job is a pearl color. But yea I will give you that info when I get the bill haha. I'll keep everyone updated.

ya I can't wait to see what it is going to look like, my friend has the same car and is interested in that

:rolleyes:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

that is a big ass load of bullshit. unless your not stock parts raised the CR to 19:1, your car has no more than 145 tq with all the mods you did, it would take about oh 1200 ft lbs of torque to rip off a body kit, and the only way it would happen is if the chassis was weakened to the point where after the first run, the car is twisted so that it will ride on 3 wheels with about a foot of air under the 4th tire.

you are a liar. plain and simple. the only fast celicas from the 80's were the alltracs, and they werent that fast, but compaired to the 17+ seconds your car got from the factory, it was fast. oh and if you had the power to rip off a body kit just by launching your car, you would be able to easily pass 120 despite the shape of your car.

soon I will have pictures of the car up once i get out of the shop.

antyoo, you know nothing. plain and simple. mommy bought your car for you so you pretend to be a car god. if you could SEE my car take off, you would understand. being rwd, it torques the rear end to the point where my muffler almost touches the ground. and before you call someone a liar, you should probably know what youre talking about.

A 22RE comes from the factory with 116 horsepower @ 4800 rpm and 140 lb/ft of torque @ 2900 rpm. With your mods (different air filter, header, 2.5" exhaust) you would be lucky to have 130hp and your torque is probably the same as stock since 2.25 is optimal for these cars and the 2.5" reduces low and mid range exhaust scavenging so you will not see the advantage of the larger exhaust until you get a better cam and port the head. Also I do not know what the hell you mean by a sport transmission. Too much Gran Turismo would be my guess. Unless you consider an upgraded clutch, lightened flywheel and a short shifter a sport transmission because that is all you can do to the W58 trans that came in these cars. If your muffler is almost hitting the ground on your launch either your rear springs and shocks are in dire need of replacement or a muffler hanger rusted off and the muffler is hanging down already. My car with its swapped in 1G-GTE (a 2.0 inline six, DOHC, twin turbo out of a Jap-spec MkIII Supra incase you didn't know) has more power than your 22R will ever have and I would never have a clearance problem with an aftermarket body kit. And I also don't know how you could have so much air drag you can't reach speeds above 120mph. When my engine was stock I could get it to 127mph verified by my friends GPS. Now unless you have 'riced' out your car with two or three spoilers dialed in for maximum downforce you should be able to reach the same speeds as me. Well since your mods aren't matched will with the powerband of the 22RE and the block is cracked my guess would be you lack the power to reach those speeds and are passing it off as 'air drag' so you don't look as bad when you try to show off for your friends. And Anytoo is right, these cars stock are very slow but do have a lot of potential being that they were the last of the RWD Celica's. My car for instance ran the quarter in mid 17's on its best day stock. Then it ran low 14's with forged pistons 20R head, mild cam, dual 45mm Weber DCOE carbs, headers 2.25" exhaust, and many other modifications. Then I ran a 125 shot of nitrous and got into the high 12's. Decided I wanted a turbo and swapped in a 1G-GTE that I bought from Toysport. I ran high 13's with that when it was stock. Then with a few minor mods (boost controller, alcohol injection, 3" exhaust, better intake, and slightly larger injectors) I was running deep into the twelves. I am currently on my way to the 11's. The only bad thing about this engine is aftermarket parts are really hard to get. Almost all of my mods are fabricated or universal and work on any turbo engine but to get anything specific for this engine (cams, forged pistons, stronger valve springs, etc.) I have to talk to performance companies based in Japan and Australia. Most of them don't ship to the U.S. but I recently found a company in Australia that will work with me. I rarely visit these boards as there is few 3rd gen Celica people here and the ones who are here think these cars are way better than they are. No offense to those who do know what they are talking about. Anyway I was just browsing through and saw how ignorant sk8nbroslofski was and decided to educate him a little. Feel free to reply with how I know nothing and my mother must have bought me my car, whatever boosts your ego. But if you would like to learn something useful feel free to PM me and I'll get back to you whenever I decide to check this site out again.

it amazes me how much work people put into trying to put other people down. you must have been looking up those specs for hours. and to everyone wo trash talks my car, until you drive MY CAR, and feel how it rocks the road, shut your damn mouth, you self-righteous pricks.

hey I hope you are not referring to me as well, cause I havn't said a thing about your car. Because I know nothing about perfomance or anything like that. Besides I keep my bad opinions to my self if I had something bad to say.

Hey man I am sorry if you were offended. I am not trying to destroy your self confidence or anything but come on, a little dose of reality here. A car that is 18 years old, with interior and exterior blemishes, a cracked block, messed up alternator, and poorly chosen mods is not going to 'rock the road'. I don't need to drive your car to know that. I know these and many other cars inside and out, so no I wasn't looking up specs for hours. And if you want me to shut my mouth take your car to the track or even the dyno. Then either I will have my foot in my mouth bowing down to such an awesome car or you will see how you have a long way to go before your car rocks the road. Well unless you have thousands of dollars invested into your audio system you might be able to rock the road.

no celica chick i wasnt referring to you. you havent even so much as commented on my car so that was not directed at you. 1G-GTE, perhaps you are right, my ego is probably overblown by how my car kicks all other cars asses around here. northwest arkansas. people have their hondas and shit that have the 5 inch exhaust tips and call it fast. on another note i got the exterior blemishes fixed last week. i backed up w/ the door open and that created a fin out of my door. created air drag that almost pulled me off the road @ high speeds. btw, the crack in the block is only in the coolant system, doesnt affect performance at all, plus i have it sealed with this crap i got at napa. im just sick and tired of everyone putting down my car when they dont even know how it rides. i was just kinda pissed off when i wrote that last one.

oh yea BTW they do make kits for the 85 man, check this out.

http://www.toyotacelicaonline.com/bodykit4.htm

i know its not much, but hey they are out there. and I'm sure that some kind of kit can be modified to fit the 3rd gens.

Yeah no hard feelings man. I have the same Honda problem as you and am a little short tempered, I guess, when people claim to own the road and how thier AEM CAI and Greddy exhaust on thier little CRX made the car have like 300hp. I am revved on every time I am at a stop light by some high schooler who is taking the family Accord out for a night of cruising. I guess I was a little quick to judge and apologize. Hope you get everything fixed on your car and get it running good. At least you are representing the 3rd gen Celicas. Very few on the road where I live. A lot of people say I have a Mustang which pisses me off even more. Anyway man sorry to blow up on you.

Oh, and body kit wise Erebuni, Kaminari, Mitcom, and Toysport make them for the 3rd gen's (82-85). Vestatec Styling also makes a front spoiler which looks pretty good. I have one on my car and they are available for $100 here. (http://www.classicgarage.com/celfronspoil.html) It also adds a little downforce to the front at high speeds contrary to some body kits I've seen available for Honda's.

where do you live? are you in SoCal? i will gladly take some time to see your car. hell, i'll even race ya

i never said i know all about cars. but what i said was the truth plain and simple. sorry to all the celica owners(i am one) but the celicas in america were not made fast from the factory, and are costly to make fast or should i say faster. with the exclusion of the 4th gen and 5th gen alltracs. being turboed from the factory always gives the car an advantage. the same mods not only add more HP, but they improve the power band more than on most NA cars. and simply increaseing the boost pressure and a more efficient intercooler go a long way

AND

RWD does not make a car fast, where the hell did you get that idea? it does, however, allow for more traction because of the weight shift when launching. btw i would bet that you do not know that FWD transmissions are more efficient than RWD transmissions. the standard drivetrain loss on a RWD car is about 20%, so IF your car with the IHE combo you have still makes stock power you will have about 93hp and 112tq at the wheels. oh man, despite your cracked block and shit alternator, you still make mad amounts of power that when you launch your back end almost hits the ground. i can make my fwd celica do that, all i have to do is drill holes in my rear shocks so that they will be as shitty as yours

BUT ON ANY OF THE NA CELICAS, they do not have the power to lose all traction unless they are driven by crappy drivers. the newest celicas have the most NA HP, well, the GTS model anyways, and its power is high in the RPM range as well as its torque. sure, the car can lose all traction, if the driver wants it too, HELL, even my 105hp 117tq celica ST can burn out and i have an auto tranny.

if you want to know what a fast car feels like, go to a used car dealer that has an auto f body camaro z28 and floor it from a stoplight. NOW THAT IS TORQUE. that is a fast car. not your broken down busted 1985 celica gts.

any car can be made fast, celicas included, but there is no way that basic bolt on mods would make your 18 year old car a monster at the track.

you are the one that should know what you are talking about. i have been in fast cars, i know what power feels like, you are probably compairing your car to one of the first honda cars that were shipped to america.

I WANNA SEE YOUR CAR!!!!!(celica_chick):biggrin:

I know I do too, my dad called the shop and raised hell, they said that they are having problems getting the paintbooth set up, cuase they had, had to move the shop to another building.

soon as i get the money im buying the erebuni kit, decision made lol. antyoo, cram it, i would destroy you and you know it. hell, my dad's minivan can do a burnout, so thats nothin special. 1G, ditto, no hard feelings. also, almost everything thats wrong with my car, i did. one of those "oops" situations. and yeah my rear shocks probably are shot. just like my front ones. btw, will those kits fit the 83 supra? cuz i recall hearing that the supra was slightly longer and wider.

i dont mind losing to a car that is powerful enough to rip off its own body kit.

but seriously, the only way your car would destroy mine is if yours blew up while waiting for the light to go green or if you dont stop at the end and hit me.

you probably just dont want me to see how slow your car really is

The Celica Supra's are longer not wider (when compared to a Celica GTS). The rear might fit, but the side skirts will be too short, and the front spoiler would work width wise, but would not reach all the way to the wheel well creating a gap and looking like shit. Erebuni also makes 2 kits for the Celica Supra so use that instead of trying to adapt one from a Celica.

you say you live in southern california antyoo? doesn't your car have all that emission shit on it then? seriously, after emissions, and ur AT to my MT, and my having more HP, i would stomp you.

oh shit, the 3 hp you gained from cutting off your cat and the loss in low end torque are really gonna kill me.

besides, how many people do you think actually abide to the emissions laws?

oh and the only mod you have that breaks emmisions laws is the removal of your cat.

besides, you have an 18 year old engine, as engines age, they dont make the power they used to, so im pretty sure that your 18 year old engine is not what it used to be from the factory and that my engine that was rebuilt 10k miles ago before i bought it makes closer to factory power than yours.

and besides, when did i ever say what i have done to my car?

and since you obviously dont want to race, i will go to the local 1/4 mile track and find an 85 gts to race

go find an 85 to race, either a) he will destroy you or b) he cant drive for shit and youll beat him. btw the erebuni kit was discontinued. time to check ebay.

I've got an 81 4X4 I'll run yer 85 with, but beware, I have lots more performance mods than you. And those 5.71 gears turn them 33's over nicely

dude I'm sorry it had to come to this. But even I know that what your talking about is crap! I know that our little celicas dont have much power. Which is fine with me cause mine is just show. I dont need a ton of speed. But dude please stop making a fool of your self.

Celica_Chick
your celica doesn't have to be slow, give BYP (http://www.back-yard-productions.com/) a call and see what they can offer you. They are in Miami, so you can drive there, drop off your car, stop in MGM and Universal, then drive a sleeper home that's ready to beat up stuff you currently think is fast. :evillol:

their prices are a little high, how is their quality?

id rather do the work myself than take it somewhere to get suped up.

they have a really high reputation on the Tercel site (http://board.tercelonline.com/) and some good videos documenting the outcome. Call them.

thanks, but i do my own work on my car.

i got a turbo manifold from www.jgstools.com/turbo for $262 shipped, i just wanted to know what the general opinion was on the company

not to get back ON TOPIC or anything but....where the hell is the pics of the Celica w/the Accord Kit???

I havn't gotten my car back from the shop yet to take the pictures..

*looks at watch*

you DO realize you originally said to expect it back like 6-7 months ago right? what's their excuse?

its a long story lol,

First they had to do alot of work to get the body kit on. They had to remold my whole car. They were also going to take my door molding off. they had to do alot more work than what was expected for the bodykit. They were about to paint it when they got kicked out of the building they were in. So they had to move. They are in a new building now. but before they could start setting up or working they had to sign the contract. But my car is going to be the first one to get worked on. after having to wait so long and being so nice and patient (cough, cough) they are going to give me a specail painted graphic scheme of my choosing, for free. and they are going to do an extra special job and my car will be extra show quaility. When I get back from these 2 trips i'm taking back to back this week and next week. I'm going to see if my b/f will drive me up there to see my car. oh and BTW its only been 3 1/2 months since they've had my car. Oh and I will be taking pictures when I go to see my car!!!
