Superlite GTA

looks good the head lights are growing on me. they are still however what i like the least about the car tho. The car does look great enough for me to still buy it with those lights, but i'll be keeping an eye out for everyone's interpretations of these headlights.


Eddie

Search for Celica headlights and look at all the different aftermarket variations. They have the high and low beams stacked on top, or side by side, LED strips like the Audi headlights, blacked out behind the lights, chrome behind the lights... There is a ridiculous amount of options to choose from.
 
both fwd and awd have the half shaft that provide for equal lengh axles, some dsm's have one long and one short the one that i know of without being limited to this one is the 1990 plymouth laser turbo.

FWD’s only come with one long/one short (unequal lenth) axles. However, 93+ FWD DSMs came with larger axles and splines going into the differential. So there are two directions to go to in terms of transmission/axle combination:

AWD

Cons: heavier transmission (~20-25lbs), smaller/weaker axles, have to address locking of center differential, in higher demand and thus more expensive than FWD transmission.

Pros: slightly stronger, more clutch options, equal length axles

Or:

FWD (just reverse the cons/pros ;)).

I haven’t seen Fran committing to ether option (probably has bigger fish to fry). Or perhaps he will offer both options, and customer can choose?
 
The angle of perspective distorts it little but its all rendered over a real photograph of the car while at the paint shop.....we were experimenting with colours in the renderings, much cheaper and faster than repainting ..

The final paint shade is a little darker with a deeper tone and the wheels are a deeper red...

There is no tweeking...its the real car shape

The headlights are very integrated into the design of the cars shape and as there are 20 plus variations there will be a version to suit all tastes.

Love it...now I can kinda see the back hatch. You'd practicaly have to drop the engine to do anything back there (glass is fixed correct?). Assuming you can check the oil though :smartass: guess we'll have to wait and see.

lol i'm 29 years old, I feel like i'm 17 again and i just got my license. Those are extremely attractive body lines. I was not expecting all this at all, and I cant believe i've missed it for a year.

Back hatch opens.....

Does the back hatch include the window or just the portion behind the window?

Did you play with adding a spoiler? looks like the hatch maybe a little narrow for that...plus the angle of the rear fenders difficult. Not that I'd like it better...just curious.
