but I like it  A friend of mine bought a white 1986 Toyota Celica GT-S (with the 4A-GE). Within a day, the idea came up to make it look like the Trueno from Initial-D (japanese Manga/Anime about drifting, very nice to see  ). That Trueno looks like this(picture of a scale model i've got from it):  And now my friend's Celica went from this:  To this:  and finally to this:  I like it..... a lot You can say it's very chavvy, to try te let a Celica look like a 'famous' Corolla from a manga/anime, but I really like it it's so wrong |

Part of me goes "that's really cool, love it". Unfortunately, the die hard Initial D bit of me is screaming "SACRELIDGE!" ;D
Neither part has won yet!
Kudos all the same! Looks pretty convincing, especially if you only just caught it out of the corner of your eye as it passes you on the inside, sideways, at 80mph, with it's inside right wheel jammed in the series of potholes that seem to exist at the side of the road system these days.

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

Initial-D FTW! Just need a mountain now for some hardcore drift action. Does it have a cup of water inside to test his accuracy |

damn, i knew i forgot something, the cupholding thingy! And finding a mountain in the Netherlands is very hard, so we try to keep it on the flats  Ad to finish it off, he needs to get some deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep dished watanabe RS-8 wheels, but then the low-budget thingy doesn't work anymore |

If it wasn't for the sticker on the door it'd just be a nice colour scheme I reckon.
