I'm so excited to finally get to start my Celica project! I have a bone stock red, 95 GT convertible, (except the rims). I will be starting off by swapping it to a manual ( this is why I have the white parts car). I will be putting in all new brakes and suspension. Going drilled and slotted rotors for brakes and Tein lowering springs. After this is done, I will move on to doing a turbo build. Everything will be done by me, except I will be having it professionally dyno tuned.
I am going full on show car with this bad boy. Everything under the hood that cannot be made to look Shiney and new, will be replaced! Interior will be overhauled as well. I plan on doing the gt4 trd splitters for front and rear, with gt hatchback sides. I haven't picked out the exact paint color yet, but it will be a shade of burnt orange. I get to start tearing these cars apart tomorrow, and I can't wait!! It is definitely gona be one sweet ride when I'm all done. |

So it's been a while since I last updated....but now that the weather is nice again, I've been putting on some miles to break in the New clutch. Once I'm done, I am going to route all my intercooler piping, so I can make necessary cuts in the car. Then I will be pulling everything out to paint the engine bay.
After this is will be doing my turbo setup. I have already started ordering parts for this. I have the ct-26 turbo stock 3sgte manifold heatshield 2 bar map sensor 3sgte oil pan Aftermarket downpipe. Oil filter relocation adapter Boost controller Autometer gauges: boost/vacuum, oil psi, and wideband 02 Intercooler kit with ssqv bov And I've got the rear spats too I'm looking forward to getting the project in full swing! Just have 100 miles to go to break in the clutch! |
