evinX Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 My dad is at the top of my christmas list this year, he owns a 2001 Celica VVTLI 190 6 speed and want to get something car related. Hes not like me pouring money into the car but we maintain it. I needs some paint work here and there, headlights are yellowing slightly. But the interior is mint. Id like to get something for the car but cant think, any suggestions for a Celica? can see it behind the supra, best pic i got https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/23755465_10214729546369234_1522711950420347212_n.jpg?oh=718cb7509601fd002aceb364ae2b506a&oe=5A8D36DD Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Alloys? Coilovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Probably 150 ish, dont think hed be happy declaring mods to insurance so aftermarket mods are out. I wanted to stick alloys and a spoiler on it but he wasnt to keen. At the same time he does like his car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Although the budget is low, could you get him a machine polish or paint correction. How about in bluetooth kit for his phone? Grasping at straws here. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 The front end really needs a blow over as his gunmetal grey is hard to match, a bluetooth kit sounds good ill look at that becuase he did ask me if i had one in mine today funny enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Im thinking dash cam. Could be onto a win here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Is he a "driver" so to speak? What about some really good brake discs and pads? Is that an issue on mods? Add braided lines and better brake fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Forget the car why not a day out with son? I think that'd mean a lot more to him than some serviceable car parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my dad spend alot of time together though. Hes note really outgoing. I want something car related to be fair. Christmas pressies are usually useful stuff we get. Tree. Lights. Useful gifts but the dash cam will suprise him and be of use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manny Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 How about some detailing products, would be nice for his car and you could work on it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 How about some detailing products, would be nice for his car and you could work on it together. We do during summers, next year we will tackle the front end. We just sorted out a squeal it had. And some seals need changing. Hes always on about how solid the supra is etc etc but never forks out on the celica Just spoke to him and he likes the idea of a dash cam so ordered a decent 1080p front and rear of ebay with all the bits it needs and have some money to (buy me something) dad some other bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
