Nice car - strange being a later spec car that it has no skirts
have the holes been filled - im taking it they have been. For me a shiny black faff will always look better than a white one - just look more aggresive and menacing -------------------- Women are snakes with tits

'96+ are late spec. Non-GT4 models got an updated front bumper and spoiler, and all models got side skirts. Some GT4's came with the updated spoiler as well, but I don't know what percentage that was. There were also updated head and tail lights available on ST202's and ST205's.

As above the facelift was 96.
The chrome " celica " sill covers were a option as were recaro seats - but these were also offered for the pre face lift. then in 98 the GT4 was revised again - out went the 3 post rear spoiler and reverted to the WRC style rear wing with raiser blocks but with a different GT FOUR text on them and all got the projector headlights and silver coloured dash trim -------------------- Women are snakes with tits

just found this old project thread and thought i would update, a lot has happened since the last post!
Things took a slight turn for the worse. Overboosting, clutch problems, seized calipers, huge rust holes in the sills and rear quarter and a fuel leak meant she was clearly begging for a little attention. So i bought a bmw e36 328 to use as a daily drift weapon and put the celica in the garage so the fun could begin. ![]() First on the purchase list was a donor quarter panel ![]() then up in the air she went, ready for some serious grinding. New discs, pads and caliper pins visible in this shot although i ended up sending all four calipers to BIGREDD for reconditioning (they did an incredible job, highly recommended) ![]() and I began gutting the interior. This is very much a before photo ![]() Then the bodywork began - I ground back the area to see how far the surface rust extended, and found some filler from a previous repair further forward but otherwise the arch profile was looking better than expected. Inner skin however was very worse for wear ![]() and then, hours of grinding, drilling, flapwheeling and welding the following occured, heres a nice condensed version of the hours that followed - ![]() tacced into place - ![]() welded and ground back - ![]() filler lashed on - ![]() arch rolled to a nice even profile with loads of clearance for the wheels given, then hours of filling and flatting - ![]() -------------------- |

a quick shot of the interior before i fitted buckets, floorpan completely stripped of sound deadening and all sprayed satin black. Also removed all the loom for the bits n pieces ive whipped out, arial and motor, rear wiper mechanism, speakers etc
![]() and the sparcos pre-fitting - ![]() Also, removed the sunroof assembly which weighed in at 14kg, perspex replacement can be seen taped up but resting in place. nice and simple inside now ![]() ![]() ![]() also patched the lower right sill due to more rot ![]() ![]() also whipped the bumper and slam panel off the front and started stripping out the charge cooler system and aircon to make room for FMIC ![]() ![]() clocked turbo and intercooler in place ![]() then off to the paint shop she went, most of the left hand side was blown in and now puts the rest of the car to shame! ![]() -------------------- |

exedy paddle clutch and fidanza lightweight flywheel are both now fitted, along with a new cambelt kit.
The current filler neck had a hole in the back and its seized onto the tank so a new tank and filler neck are on their way which will sort the fuel leak issues ![]() -------------------- |

SOOO GLAD you finally updated!
I've finally decided to respray the whole car in black and when I will come out of school and get my job, our cars will be very very similar ^^ Will need to fix the same areas on mine also due to minor, yet horrible to me, rust problems. I will get BC coilovers also, but not quite sure yet of the stiffness to opt for. Thinking to go 9kg front/8kg rear, I want to get a close rear/front stiffness ratio to make the car more prone to oversteer rather than understeer. What specs are yours? What is your feedback? Too stiff for a daily driver? Would you change to another setting if you could go back? What are your future plans? Please keep us updated ![]() Edit: Pretty sure the offset is +23 ![]() Also, do you run minor negative camber to make the 9.5 fit in the front?
