I've been a member since I got my Celica back in February. Since then I've seen lots of other Celicas on here and what others have done to them. Needless to say, this has instilled some thoughts as to what I'd like to do to my own. Today I sat down and "built" my dream Celica, just through what I've found out on here. Here's what I have so far:

QUOTE
Drive-train:
1MZ-FE
headers for the 1MZ-FE
custom dual exhaust with Magnaflow catalytic converters and Magnaflow mufflers
custom K&N cold air intake
E153 transmission with LSD
TWM short throw shifter for E153

Suspension:
Tanabe coil-overs
rear 3 point strut bar
front 3 point strut bar
Twos R Us end links set
Suspension Techniques sway bar set
JIC arm bar set

Brakes:
ST205 front calipers
ST205 rear calipers and emergency brake system

Exterior:
Curren front end conversion
Curren front lip
TRD side-skirts and rear spats
Euro spoiler blocks
Kouki tail lights
black 16" Enkei RPF-1 wheels
5GC side view mirrors
S2000 antenna
repaint in midnight blue pearl, purple pearl, or black pearl

Interior:
RHD conversion
Leather front seats
Japanese Pioneer double DIN head unit
premium audio door panels
replace speakers/tweeters with American, Japanese, or European components
DD subwoofer with American or Japanese amplifier


Of course most of this may never come into fruition, but some of it will. What does everyone else's dream build consist of?

Curious to know why your only want the ST205 front brakes and not the rears as well?

Wasn't sure if the ST205 rear calipers would work. Think you have to mod the fronts to get them to work on the McPherson suspension, and then something about the rears you can't modify to make them work. Not 100% sure though.

That says that the rears are a direct bolt on! smile.gif

Don't forget Playr158 did the conversion few years back, just saying tongue.gif

Flamesuit dream build: 1st gen Rav4 st with 7afe backwards conversion (or 4afe,5age). Stick of course, coilovers for car height... Lets put a turbo on there for good measure. Rugged celica(ish) wagon.
Ok, back to real celica talk.

Ah ok, thanks. Will have to change that on my list then. Good to know rear is direct, still have to mod front though.

He's before my time, and he didn't make it all pretty. Doesn't count. tongue.gif

Good news I found someone with a set of powered 5GC mirrors for $20 in state. Bad news he's a little over 100 miles away, and they're white. More so the 100 miles away thing that's the problem, can always repaint. Trying to figure something out that works for the both of us at the moment.
