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.

MORE PARTS!!
Broke down and purchased a set of "Mint" condition Confetti Recaro front seats! The seller was nice enough to take many pictures, and complete videos of each seat! They truly are flawless. They got shipped out last night, via ship. They will take up to 7 weeks to get to me. Hopefully that gives me enough time to fine the proper confetti rear seats. I imagine they are hard to come by, and the price tag will reflect that I'm sure . The actual seats I bought: I'm now pondering the idea of doing the brakes. I'm not really sure which route I am gonna go just yet. Seems like there is a ton of write ups on the GT4 front and rear brake swap, then again I can't find one that tells me what exactly works.. From my understanding I need the following -St205 front/rear calipers -BRZ/FRS front brake rotors -St205 rear brake rotors -St205 pads -Custom lines Then of course the mounting location on the front calipers need to be shaved down, and the mounting holes in the hub need to be taped... Then again you read a different write up and get different information lol. Kinda aggravating, Think I'm just gonna wing it. I don't have a doubt I could find a way to make it work. -------------------- Technician @ Airlift Performance
