Hi guys, I figured there was no harm in making a build thread for my daily. I found this car 3 months ago, 6 hours south of my home town and just couldn't pass it up. The car was just too good to be true. No rust, low miles and in just beautiful condition, with all the comforts needed for a daily. The build will be very slow seeing this is just my daily, my main project is another vehicle. I have a goal of making the car appear as close to a true GT4 WRC as possible, I'm sure I will get some hate because of this but it won't bother me any. Seeing we never got them in the US I thought it would be a nice change, no plans on a 3sgt swap (yet). So let me bring you up too speed.
1994 Toyota Celica GT (US spec) 112k (when purchased) 5 speed 5fse Day I got her home: New app radio 4! And Tomei shift knob I took from my Evo End works gauge bezel with full blue LED interior lighting. Showing off the beautiful interior: JDM tail lights, tint, and a sk2 antenna were a must, the other beast sleeps in the garage: Scored a set of authentic 99 JDM WRC spoiler riser blocks, with the correct 3D grapihte badges: Couldn't stand the factory wheels any more: Suspension, I work for Airlift Performance so this is only temporary.. custom stuff will be coming soon:) Just as I'm installing the suspension, this arrived: Installed, looking nice. The wing is removed sent out for paint! Much better: Scored a C-one lip, still needs paint of course, along with a nice set of OEM side skirts! More parts from endworks (This guy has been my favorite to deal with for these cars.. by far)! Again, hood spoiler needs paint! Wing back from paint, with the emblems installed! I'll be updating as often as possible. Hope to meet some new friends through here! Thanks guys.

No major updates. Ordered my new wheels yesterday, having them built to my specs so it will take a couple weeks before I get them. Also ordered the new tires Toyo Proxes P1sport's so hopefully they are as nice as everyone claims they are! Once the wheels and tires are installed I'll be bringing it up to the shop to finally put it on bags. Hoping everything looks good together. I have never really seen the style of wheel I got on a 6g (I'm sure they are out there just not that common) I'm confident that I will be the only one with these particular wheels seeing they are being custom made. Also got a nice 2.25" tanabe resinator, and Tanabe oval Hyper medallion muffler. I will be Fabing up a 2.25" downpipe back exhaust. It might free up a little bit of power and pick up a mpg or 2, but most of all it should look nice and remain nice a quite. Paint work will then get done for the rear lip/bumper, and license plate surround, she should then be ready in time for the Autorama show at the end of Feb! A lot to do in not a lot of time!
