Celica Forums Classic Generations 5th Generation Celica 5th GEN PROJECT!

Ahem I believe that was my idea. But yeah, tommy we need you to do that. Lambo doors are cool and all but No way in hell I'll pay 900 bucks for them. I would rather put that money towards my swap.

Convo I had with Magik
icE0677: Hello! Are you there?
ElSuperSpic: sup
icE0677: magik06 from c.net
ElSuperSpic: sup
icE0677: ur the only one that i could reach that was interested in the lambo doors
icE0677: anyways i got my parts from DI and they arent going to do the hinges for us
ElSuperSpic: yeah..
icE0677: cause they wont make any money off one set
icE0677: while we go make knock offs
icE0677: so if you could relay that to the guys on everything.celica
icE0677: my account doesnt work over there
ElSuperSpic: dude did you tell them we were going to copy them?

icE0677: i asked him if he was still planning on making my hinges
ElSuperSpic: yeah..
icE0677: and he said " no, cause those guys are just going to buy one set and make knock offs, and thats no money for me .
icE0677: and he could make more off of neons and civics
ElSuperSpic: ok ill tell him
Pretty self explanitory...I guess the only option we have is with tommy.

WHODIE!!!!! we need you to buy a set of hinges from twisted and send them to conrad!!!!

Bad news guys ... i just had to drop $800 into my jeep and had to front my roomates rent for this month so now i am behind on buying my 3sgte engine i don't know if I can throw up enough money to buy hinges my engine is a little more important right now then these hinges even though i want to help everyone out. Had this been 2 months ago i would have gladly done it just sometimes this crap happens sorry guys maybe if this goes no where in a few months i'll get paid back by my roomates and have made some money at work and hopefully nothing goes wrong with my jeep or my celi. Kyle

i guess this is pretty much at a stand still unless someone else can throw down some cash.

i might score a job this week. If i do i might be able to get a good amount of money a month and throw down $100 donation.

hey guys if things start lookin up on this project can i try and get hinges happenin too?
thanks

so, what happened here?

it's been dead in the water... our chief source on getting a set of hinges can't get them and the donor does not have money. Don't look into getting hinges ANYTIME soon.

The whole issue for the community is cash. Either no 1 has it or no 1 is willing to pull it together. It's not cost effective for me to pull one of mine off. The kit I have can be purchased for 1300 and I can get it for cheaper. Everyone wants a kit that cost like $50. You get what you pay for. People complain cos there are no parts for our cars and then when they come around they bitch that they cost too much. People say "well you can get a kit for 500 for a civic, why can't we?" Well, actually they can. That 500 Honda kit also fits a celica, a Tahoe and a M3. Its a universal kit. It will fit anything if the right mods are made to it. But that 500 kit is going to run you close to 3g's to get it put on your car. So you still have to bring a lot out of pocket. THe kit I have is a direct bolt on for the 5 th Gen, that could be put on in a persons garage at home. But until the community can get the cash together to send Conrad a set to do the files on this will all be talk for most of them. What most of them don't realize is once you get the files you still have to get a shop to cut them. For those that work at one or have connections it won't be too costly. But those that have to go thru the YP's looking for a place it is still going to cost them a nice chunk to get them made an they are still going to have to put them on, if they can.

why dont we just do a group buy?

celicatech has a group buy right now, direct with the company that tommy got.

they are made for the 5th gen, if we get 15 people they are only like 700$$

im on the list on celica tech

whats their price in canadian dollars?

like 900 $ canadian for 15 people

this lasted so long sucks thats it probally want make it though
