Great car mate, did you do all the work yourself? The wheels are Rota RB's I think for memory. My celica has simalar mod's. Are you going to bring it down here, or are you only going to be down here for a short while?

I know exactly how you feel. My Birthday is tomorrow, and everyone is giving me money so I can get vinyl to finish my interior. They ask if I want anything else, but i'm celica all the way. The only problem is everything left to do on the car is expensive.
