So, I've neglected my Celica for too long! Anyways, I decided I am going to revive the Celica and start building her again. I am gonna take it down to Dr. Tweak and hopefully he can help me get her running again.

The Story: Sold my first celica (95 STX coupe automatic) to get a 1997 hatchback GT manual so I could do a 3sgte swap on it. Took it to the MR2 Guru, and he messed up the swap really bad and left me with a non-running car. And so, the car got moved around to several places, nobody could finished it, and it ended up sitting around and forgotten. I tried working on it a few times, but didn't get really far. I kind of forgotten it once I got this car:

1992 Lexus SC300

-Full authentic Auto Couture bodykit, w/ 97+ body moldings, fogs, and grill
-18" Leon Hardiritt Beils
-LS400 brake conversion
-1JZ-GTE twin turbo swap
-lip spoiler
-converted the interior from tan to black
-Pioneer AVIC-Z2 gps head unit w/ Metra faceplate
-Tein Comfort Sport coilovers w/ EDFC
-Electric Fan conversion
-Gated shifter conversion
-7th gen Celica Steering wheel w/ TRD horn badge
-6000K HIDs
-LED winker mirrors
-JDM window visor and sunroof visor
-Puddle Lights, Junction Produce goodies, smoked tail lights























I sold the SC300 a little while ago and picked up a 1998 Lexus LS400 because I needed a bigger car since I have a kid now. Been working on it for a little bit, still a work in progress.

Exterior:
• Hybrid 04-06 LS430 front bumper conversion (LS430 bumper merged with LS400 bumper)
• 04-06 LS430 Fog Lights with 3000K HIDs
• 6000K HIDs Low Beam
• Gold emblems to Chrome emblems conversion
• WALD International side skirts
• WALD International rear lip
• BRAGA red/clear JDM tail lights
• Bellezza Winker Mirrors (white LEDs)
• Stock dual tone paintjob has been converted to a monotone paintjob
• All exterior bulbs replaced with white LED/SMD bulbs
Interior:
• Junction Produce Kurotsuna
• Junction Produce Fusa
• Junction Produce Neck Pads
• Junction Produce Seat Cushions
• Recaro Baby Seat
• Carmate vip cupholders
• LED Lexus Lighter
• LS460 black wood shift knob
• All interior bulbs replaced with white LED/SMD bulbs
Wheels/Brakes/Suspensions:
• D2 Racing Coilovers
• Junction Produce Scara 19” staggered wheels w/ stepped lip
• Lexus alloy valve caps
• Cross Drilled & Slotted R1 Concept Rotors w/ EBR Ceramic Brake Pads
• UCA Clearance modification

Some shots of the LS400/430 hybrid bumper:




This is a shot of my team's logo:


Bellezza LED winker mirror covers:


Rear rotors and calipers (I painted them gold, I want to chrome them or polish them later though......or just get a real BBK kit). I know I know, they look freaking tiny, but the rims are 19", I swear they are a lot bigger, they just look small for some reason :woot::


Front Brakes (I know, my wheels are hella dirty, it's the rain though :sad:):




I love my carmate cup holders, got one on each side since the Recaro baby seat takes up the center cup holders.


LS460 black wood shift knob and LED Lexus lighter:


BRAGA clear (non-led) tail lights (although all the bulbs are LED though):


I had UCA clearance issues, so here's an easy fix to the problem. Anyways, now I got extra cupholders under the hood, haha.

THAT WAS ONE HOT SC300! That car was made for the VIP, deep dish look. Some 97+ tail lights and it would've been the final touch.
I have a soarer myself which I switch back and forth between my celica when I get bored. It's more of a luxury sports car which is the opposite of the celica. Hopefully it can look that good soon.

Sucks you had to sell it but the LS is a nice replacement. It's rediculous what options those came with, rear messaging seats and what not. Lexus was really ahead of its time with these two cars and I'm starting to really appreciate Lexus more and more now.
