6G Celicas Forums

well here's a bit of history of my Celica Gt4 "TRDGT4"
Bought the completely standard about four years ago after a few mods it look like this

And then by the end of 2007 it look like this

but then i had problems BIG problems

The Thurst washers in the engine came out causing major engine damage luckly the pistons and rods were unharmed and would live another day so that brings us into the rebuild:

engine out it was then a case of stripping everything out of the engine bay for a complete respary in classic 040 Toyota white

While the car was getting its new coat of paint I source another block and began the rebiuld I also managed to get a complete engine from a GTT Caldina for which I used the Head and Intake including injectors, I then set about match porting the head and having a custom set of cams ground which included facing the Valves and having all the seats recut with a custom three angle profile and have all the tappets set with custom shims, I also added some HKS adjustable cam gears and had the intake manifold ceramic coated. The block got rebored out .5mm and the bottom end was balanced and block decked
New Engine

new engine being fitted

So now with the engine back in the hole the custom wiring job started and after 20 hours (that's just on the wiring) it runs
but not fully completed and ready for road yet (hanging out to drive her again though)
below are a few pics of the work that has gone in






I'll keep adding pics as i get closer to driving her enjoy

Tha is one sexy looking engine bay. Wow, mad props for an extremely clean engine bay, and well done setup!!

amazing job on the cleaning (you were in japan last year this time?)

I say, bring on the 27th!!

so I was going to get some spacers for the Show 15mm for the front and 20mm for the rear but have just noticed that I need a full set of new rubber so I have just ordered a set of Dunlop SP sport max which will go on in the next few days oh well always next year.

Some more progress shots still have a bit more to do
Photo's do show it off but you get the idea

So I got the Celica back already for the show on the 27th but I can't decide on which wheels so come on 6gc please help me by telling me which ones oh and while you at it tell me what you think.















So which wheels??

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
V-E-R-Y N-I-C-E





(slightly trying to convert your car into mine are we lol)

I like the look of the stock white wheels only because they're white. Your other wheels look much better. I say paint the aftermarket wheels white. That would look amazing.

Looks sensational!

Thanks for your comment White 17's would look good


Thanks man


Cheers Bro

Loving the new look !
Yeah id say the aftermarket wheels look better (:
Can't wait to see your celica at the 4's and rota's show !!

So even more cleaning I think I may be going a little over board but hey you never know who might be looking


Now as promised to so many of you asking questions about how I mounted my Fog lights Narva.com.au Part No 71850 very simple and something I should get round to cleaning up a bit






hope that helps.

sure does, I can work on that sticky now

Hi,

the look of the car is awesome, just the wheels doesn't fit well

you need a set of white rally inspired ones like compomotive MO

Thanks mate yeah I would love some new rims but sometimes other things just get in the way


Thanks man really happy with it aye, bring on the show lol

That looks like an official TRD livery but custom fitted to a Celica

Yeah of sorts

The white OEM wheels, without doubt.

I think if they were 17's I would with out a doubt!!

this is the best looking celica i have ever seen , no more word..
