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.

what wheels are they if you dont mind me asking. Have to wait and see! Well it has been a crazy last few days. I saw there was a local 2016 Toyota 4 Runner TRD PRO for sale... and god do I love them. Went out and test drove it and immediately fell in love. So many cool features, very comfortable, practical, and very expensive . My girlfriend and I have been looking to get something for the dunes for some time now and this would work great . Well after test driving it I told my friend how badly I wanted it. He then convinced me (with a huge amount of cash) to sell him the Evo... This I have been contemplating for the past 6 months or so, just to try something different. So I did it. The car I thought I would have for the rest of my life, now gone. Excited and sad all at the same time. I will be keeping the Celica of course. The 4 Runner will be my daily/off road/ dune toy. The one I test drove was black, and I will never own a black vehicle, especially something I plan on taking off road. I found it to be more logical to just buy and build one brand new at the local Toyota dealership. So that is what I will be doing, unless I come across a very good deal on a very low millage used one. Torn between the White, Concrete, and Graphite. If you guys haven't had the chance to drive one of these and your looking for a nice SUV/ Off road toy I'd strongly suggest it! They are so bad ass! -------------------- Technician @ Airlift Performance
