The car is going to go soon up to the shop which is helping me with this, so it can be tore down to a bare shell.

Then it will be stripped back to bare metal, any rust damage etc fixed and the metal work mods can start.

I plan to have the car built over the course of this year and then ready for the 2018 show and track day year.

The car is being built to the best I can do, so it’s all new bolts and the best I can afford in terms of set up.
A set of track rims is under consideration, with track rubber, as the car will see track action, along with show and shine work etc

The car is slightly famous already, I purchased it last summer, from a good friend, who had already started the mods and got the car featured in a car magazine.

Since I have owned the car, I have added a lot of mods, that I already had, such as Koni adjustable suspension for the front and KYB for the rear with Eibach springs, the rims, the interior, the lights, the HKS and K& N filters, chrome detailing etc.

The car is super straight and very very clean; I wanted the best base for the build possible.
Anyway below are a few pics to give you the idea.

I should explain that all the current mods and parts fitted to the car, like the genuine ss3 spliters front and rear, adj shocks etc, will be kept, as while the car is being built, I plan on getting another 6 and modding that for the wife. Although she has a project Mazda. I have lots more pics if people are interested. From small stuff like the TRD fuel cap, to the full engine build. Happy to post if anyone wants some more pics or info?

Wow haven't seen a build like this in a while. Brakes seem overkill? Maybe save the money and go ST205 brakes? But my guess is that you want that set up because you can get a 2 piece rotor configuration...

Posted by: alwayzsidewayz Apr 1, 2017 - 3:18 PM

Hi, cheers for the feedback. Brakes are a bit OTT, but as you say, I want the rotor set up. The bias valve will help as we dial them in, as I am dumping the abs too.

Posted by: abflug Apr 1, 2017 - 3:58 PM

Very nice setup.
What is your impression on the Ksport brakes?

Posted by: alwayzsidewayz Apr 1, 2017 - 4:06 PM

No idea, not on the car yet, won't be until the shell is stripped and build up starts. Having had custom bells with 330mm discs with 205 calipers before on my 165, I hope they are a match for those if not a step up. Huge amount of work still to do on the build.
Cheers for the feedback.

welcome!
wow! very interesting build. looking forward to seeing more of this.

Very happy with the carbon parts, lot more to come. Just ordered coil packs for the motor, and sadly having to do a quick overhaul of the Master cylinder as brakes are a touch soft despite bleeding. but hey ho, its a celica, always parts to fix

Posted by: BonzaiCelica Aug 17, 2017 - 6:19 AM

anything yet???

Posted by: tr1stan Aug 24, 2017 - 4:43 AM

Nice work! Those CF parts will surely make your car more sporty looking.
