This is a sick,sick car! Man i love it!

Simply amazing!

beautiful car

impresssive.

wow. those rims go perfectly with your car. what size tires are you using?

And a very clean engine bay. Thanks for sharing.

Nice car mate...bet that kicks some serious arse.

you had me at :
Ride:
1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four, ST205 Group A Rallye #61


all the rest is just yummy goodness.
one hell of a ride.

I want your car!

Looks aweome. I bet thats totally a kick to drive. Awesome Work. You got any highres photos I could use for desktop?

thats for all of your replies and comments folks.

the wheels and tyres are: Momo m1, 18x8.5", tyres are maxis 225x40, im seriously considering selling these for some works, or volks etc.

should be some high res pics in my profile thingo, feel free to leach all my pics .

Yep its pretty good to drive, its very smooth and linnear in the power delivery. Will be better when i finish the turbo upgrade and get the snap into boost that we all love:D

im let to loose a race in it, street or strip.

Clean and beautiful. I so love seeing a clean stock [or OEM only] exterior with muscle under the hood. The Group A Rallye - IDK speechless. Well thought out mods too.
cough* Featured Ride *cough

hey guys. Just thought ide give a little update.






This is my new suspension as of a couple of months ago. KYB Super Special for Street adjustable shocks, with my ultra low kings streched 12mm, new bump stops, Cuscp pillow ball adjustable strut tops, Cusco 4 point underbody brace.

The reason i didnt get coil overs are unless your driving a pure track car they arnt worth it, your on road driveablility goes to sh!t with springs that are way to stiff and stuff all suspension travel, especially if your buying the el cheapo d2/g4 coil overs. Tiens are worth 3k + for a 205, and im of the opinion its not worth it, coilovers are just a matched spring and shock combination with height and dampening adjustment. I dont want to change my height, and its your shock adjustment is what changes handling. Thats just my opinion and some people no doubt dont agree.

The ride now, fncken awsome, its so much better now, i didnt think it could improve much, but man its sick.






Ok this is the new project while im saving for a turbo/manifold/external gate upgrade.

this is the start of a new pleum, velocity stack runners (for better off boost performance and driveablility) 2zz throttle body (8mm bigger then the 205 unit). Its going to be side feed and around 2.5 litres capacity....should be the balls.

Your cars just sick! Thanks for the update, the super specials, were they expensive and is the last pic of your car with your new suspension installed?

if your talking about the last pic with the brake rotor in it then yep thats as i was installing the rears.

if your talking about the pic with the white group A 185 and my 205 Group A then also yes this is post suspension upgrade pic.

and were they expensive???.....ohh yes, to my door in usd they were around $1700 for all 4 shocks, no springs, no bump stops just the struts.

i could have bought inserts for the stock struts but im not into that, in my opinion your better off gettin all new units with warrenty etc insted of getting your old ones out and having to machine the crimped bit out etc.

wow ITB on a turbo car, a bit different, but can I ask why a 2ZZ TB and not a red/black BEAMS TB?

its not going to be itb but it shall have the velocity stacks in pic.
2zz because its bigger.

ok
wow I didn't know that
