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

Great build idea. Love it

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.

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.

Interested too

A few may know me from the Facebook pages

dont normally do forums bar the UK celica club any more, but wanted to say hello

I have posted my build thread so far in the project cars

Think that my build is slightly unusual as I have gone for a built 3sge on throttle bodies, rather than forced induction or a Beams.

Not the cheap idea, but one that I have had in my head for a while.

Been arround Celicas for 12plus years and had, ST165, 3 x ST202 GTs, Gen 7 T sport and a Gen 7 Sport M.

Always came back to the 6s.

The build that is in progress is my forever car and will be with me to hand down to my son. Its a once in a life time build for me.

I also plan on a project ST202 GT for the wife too, as she is a petrol head too.

She is modding her own car too a Mazda 2.

My Celica is not a daily driver, so I can take my time with the project.

Daily Driver is a 2015 VW Scirocco R which is modded, so I get my boost fix too.

Hope to get to know you all etc

Cheers

Rich

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?

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.
How she sits right now

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.
