Modified Toyota Celica TRD with Lamborghini Doors

In this 20th Video from Classic Car ChitChat you get to see a beautiful Modified Toyota Celica TRD with Lamborghini Doors owned by a young lady who not only loves her 2003 Celica but has modified to a point where the car is truly a work of art and not only looks good but sounds good to. This is a true classic collectors car since the Celica is a much sought after cars ever and a great platform for car mods!. This is a car that even Supercar Blondie would be proud of as well as lovers of Modified Cars and let’s not forget the wrap! Whether you are a fan of the Celica, Supra, GT4 or even the Toyota Echo (not my favourite car!) you’ll love this beauty. The car has been tastefully “modded” and wrapped in style!
Video Intentions:
I hope my video’s make you smile. I do them in my spare time because I truly love cars. I understand too that my videos perhaps lack the polish calibre of great KZbinrs like: Doug DeMuro, Scotty Kilmer, Supercar Blondie, and can’t even come close the quality & finish you get from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson and the boys at Top Gear.. I think they use a little fancier equipment than my little iPhone… LOL
Mission Statement:
My Objective through creating these videos is to shine the spotlight on people who love their vehicles whether it be a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle…. Bottom line is if it has wheels and you love it then let’s show that passion to the world!
Equipment Used:
Camera - Just an iPhone SE (Nothing fancy - which proves anyone can use whatever you have handy to make a video… you don’t need really expensive equipment)
Gimbal - DJI OM4 - For that ultra-smooth cinematic look. (To be honest... still not quite sure how to use it but one day I will figure it out!)
Audio - Rode Wireless GO II (I gotta be honest… this is really the biggest investment that was made… I wish there was a cheaper option but after the first couple of videos I soon realized that audio quality is important and hopefully better than the onboard mic on the iPhone!
Contact Details: If you have any questions or just want to chat you can reach me through all the (non-traditional) typical ways through the following:
Facebook - / classiccarchitchat
Instagram - / classiccarchitchat
Email - [e-mail]
If you have read this far, then I thank you. As always, I truly appreciate your “thumbs-up”, and by leaving your comments it demonstrates to me that I managed to get you involved and hopefully made you smile. Most importantly when you subscribe to my channel then you are truly acknowledging my effort to help share with others like you my passion and love for “all things that have wheels” and honouring the people who take care of them.
Thank You
Kevin

Hi Julienne.. You are famous!.. LOL

[@octubre60]

Congratulations for your beautiful cool car, I love it????

[@hanielbomb]

Where’s part 2?

[@deadbully1337]

love the color! i have the GTS 2000 same mods with Veilside bodykit and JR 28 rims ! also lambo doors but i live in Norway so its cold winters makes the doors not stand up. funny how people wanna race me too haha the loook is sick

[@donavanguevara1806]

what size are yours wheels????

[@EspireMike]

One of the best celicas ive seen! Just the best colour, and such attention to small details with all the thoughtful and tasteful mods. And the doors!?! What an incredible job, Juliene!

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Michael.. first of all thank you so much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. I would completely agree with you. The car turned heads when they first hit the roads and still do. I know I certainly wanted one growing up. The Celica and 240z were always cars I loved.. moving to Canada from the UK I had to of course by something American.. the 84 Trans Am is what I purchased.. but always eyed the Celica. I also have to give credit to Julienne for taking an awesome car and customizing it to resonate with her passion… Lamborghini Doors.. incredible!

[@Z3roEXE]

Beautiful Celica, great seeing them done some justice instead of being riced the crap out of.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Could not agree more. The Celtics has always been a head turner and with Lamborghini doors it’s even cooler 😀 thank you for watching my videos

[@BeenQA]

as a Toyota Celica Driver/Owner this is a great content. not too many Celica's owner out there. I am such a fan for people talks about there builds. Celica's were discontinued in 2006 due to poor sales. the Japanese cars market has gone down due to people want SUV or Trucks during the mid 2000s

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

I totally agree with you. For so many it’s always been a cool car. I am so proud of Juliene to take it to another level.

My youngest uncle that’s only like 5-6 maybe 7 years older than me, bought a black GTS 6MT when I was in middle school & every once in a while he’d pick me up & we’d go to the movie theater/arcade. I loved the car, felt like a spaceship haha. He had a aftermarket head unit & the visualizer was a guy breakdancing 🕺🏻😂 I’m in the market for one now & plan to build it. Body kit and all

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

[@ChuckHill-t4f]

Amazing job.. nice seeing a family effort.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Thank you!

[@midnightmodgarage7740]

I wonder why he would ask if that was where the fuel door always was? Speaking of which...the TRD smoked acrylic fuel door with the TRD fuel cap that you can see through the transparent fuel door...that would look absolutely 🔥 with that color!!! Either coilovers or the TRD fuel door would be great next mods. Since a project car is never complete, as we all know. Excellent build!! Great taste!

[@subliminal9144]

Can't wait to get myself one of this bumper, I personally don't really like the veilside bumper. And this colour is by far the best suiting for the celica.

I am thrilled too that this video gave you some ideas as to what you can do with this awesome car. The Celica’s body style has stood the test of time and even without Lamborghini doors turns heads!

[@jamesshilton597]

[@CelicaAutocrosser]

Anyone watching this video. The lights look cool, BUT do not purchase them or support Spec-D. The visibility is horrible and eventually the LEDs and halos will die very quickly. For show, they are great, for every day use, if you want to drive at night, do not use those lights. Last year the car was made was 2006. Exhaust is not the same as the video car company. :) I wish the U.S. versions of the TRD had that steering wheel option. :( Engine is 1.8L "Real 4 seater" LOL! They are just there to avoid the sports car taxes in the U.S. otherwise you have to be a pigmy human to fit in the back seats. I do love the rims! Have fun with the car and so far all the mods very tasteful.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Thanks for all the clarifications!

[@ThorOdinson-zc2kq]

Celiacs of this gen need the 2zzge 6mt or the 1zzfe with a trd supercharger. I’m glad she has this car. I’d be happy to send her in the direction of actually performance modifications. That 1zzfe is begging for the monkey wrench racing catalog thrown at it. Long blocks, short blocks, turbocharger kits , etc.

Just watched your video and u said that there is not to many left there is mega plenty gen 7 ur shape still about. Iv got a 1994 gen6 3e-ge. And iv got the lambo door hinges to try n fit. The 1st set I got were much to heavy and would need alot of strengthing. So I since got a 2nd kit thats much lighter n compact. There is no videos of the gen6 having them fitted.

[@DJ-dB]

There plenty in the UK i missed out. U mentioned about lowering it. There is adjustable coil overs which I got replacing 40mm lowering springs. Iv also changed the alloys from the 17" to 18".
