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? This post has been edited by Box: Jul 9, 2012 - 12:17 AM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

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!

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. -------------------- QUOTE (Araykhel @ Oct 10, 2011 - 6:32 PM) Today I learned that I need a turbo to complete me. |

Good to know rear is direct, still have to mod front though.

Don't forget Playr158 did the conversion few years back, just saying He's before my time, and he didn't make it all pretty. Doesn't count. 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. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
