Here are some pics and the specs of my 1996 celica GT4.
I bought her in july 09 and she was in immaculate condition inside and out and the last owner used only the best lubes / oils and components to service her and was OCD when it came to keeping her clean

When i got her she had a Blitz Nur spec R exhaust , Aussie DP , Blitz SUS induction kit and a Blitz DSBC spec S EBC - she had been dyno tested at 301BHP.
Inside she had the optional recaro interior and a Mook white dial kit
Sadly the exterior modifications left something to be desired - she had a genuine Veilside bodykit on and it was not to my tastes
The last owner had all the reciepts to show that the kit had cost £4500 to buy , paint and fit!!!
Luckily for me the car came with oem spoiler , skirts and bumpers too so easy enough to remove the kit and revert to standard

When i got her






Since then ive changed her quite a lot - here is what she looks like now

I apparently said "DAMN, those are some big sucking calipers" so loudly that my cat looked at me like I'm insane (not entirely out of the question, mind you wink.gif).

To quote Timmeh, the word lovely does indeed sum up this build.

No mate - well not current ones anyway.
Car is away having engine built and the new bride seats are at my house.
Also the door cards and headlining / visors are going to be sent to the trimmers to be covered in alcantara.
Then its just a case of having every bit of interior plastic flocked to match the dash & console and its done

Cage and FG doors finally sold and gone so more room in my garage smile.gif
Majority of bits for car now with engine builder but they are just waiting on some custom pistons as they dont want to risk using the HKS 87mm ones.
All interior trim bits that are being retrimmed have been sent away so should have nice red alcantara roof lining and door cards soon.
Just waiting on my moroso sump to arrive from the US frown.gif
