That is why we have 3 celicas. Red is my whatever car, yellow is kurts monster, and blue is both of ours. So yeah I get annoyed when he can't make up his mind but that's why I'm his voice of reason.( He doesn't like to listen to)....
 but this is why we love what we do. I keep telling him to leave it all different colors because no one suspects it. And he wants to paint it to be pretty....lol

If you're going to strip it and use it as a track day car there's no point it painting it, I say go harlequin. We don't have a harlequin Celica yet.

so no pics tonight due to lack of light. Got the valve covers, intake an intake tube. More importantly I deleted the Egr. So no more hot exhaust air into my intake. The block off plates were easy to make
An the intake look much cleaner. Should have free up alil power too!! -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy

EGR is good for your car though, it lowers the combustion temperatures and reduces the chance of knock. Under low RPM's and WOT the EGR system is disengaged anyhow. You freed up nothing but space.

On the upside you'll never have to worry about carbon deposits in the intake. Right now my EGR is disabled due to the modulator rupturing its membrane. As soon as I find a replacement that doesn't cost a small fortune I'll re-implement the EGR system.

That's always a plus. Now when EGR systems first came out you were better off without them, but by the time fuel injection was in wide use they had finally figured it out. It shouldn't hurt anything too much, since mine stopped working I really have noticed any conceivable changes performance or efficiency wise.

If it's not critical to the car running just remove it.

Oh and the gear lever and handbrake, still need those. Oh and one door handle, light and wiper stalks, ignition switch, and the rear view mirror. Everything else is useless, just rip it all out. Remove side-view mirrors and the spoiler for reduced weight and drag. Get it down to 2,000 pounds or less for the win.
