Here is a picture right after i brought it. I just changed to 18" toora rims.


Here is a picture of the engine, this is my first time rebuilding an engine.


Fitting my new Genuin C-one rear extension


New dails fitted to match my Defi link gauges


Fitting my new Genuin C-one front bumper, great fitment now modification requierd.


Some pictures of my turbokit that we make at JC-performance



Pictures from last years edition of my celica on a local carshow.



This winter I started doing a two tone paintjob, here is the pictures from it.









After the engine was running to hot i hade to rebuild the engine again.




Exterior modifications. new rear wing with carbon raisblocks



New spacers fitted and Endless brake pads, nice for track days this summer


Hope you enjoy them and please leave me feedback and tips for more modifications.
I promise to update you with more pictures as my build comes together....

Amazing work you have done... You just would not go better way in design . I like it a lot! Keep us posted please

[KAOS]

Wow - that is an amazing build; I love the two-tone paint job! Looks GREAT! Please keep us updated as much as possible.

Truely impressive work - well beyond my capabilities. Just a thought on detailing.....how about a clear 3rd brake lens? Reckon that would blend in really nicely

Oooh; shameless marketing plug.

Seriously though Wolfie, you do good work. I'd like to see the clear lenses for the 94-95 preface bumpers a little more affordable though.

Hello!
That would be very nice. I already got your front lights. Please send med a pm about it

[wolfie308]

Hi Mikael,

Yeh, I knew that which is why I thought you'd like it. With the cleared JDM rears and the stripe, this is a must.

Price is £37 GBP inc Air Mail and my PayPal charge.

P.M on it's way with payment details

KAOS - Shameless plug indeed, but only because I thought it would work a treat. Regards the fronts for the pre facelift, I occasionally have some some slight seconds and will offer the next pair here rather than stick them on eBay.

Cheers,

Richard

Or if you wanted to, you could just shoot me a PM with the details.

good looking bus you have there mate.
keep us updated with pics and performance figures when you get them.
what sort of turbo you using?
how did you go with the turbo intake with it being low and on an angle like that?

[trdproven]

Not too sure about the two tone but your car is really nice and clean, love the wheels.

[mikaelhoglund]

Thanks alot for all the nice comments.
The intake pipe is a 3" and its going under the waterhose and then it sits ontop of where the battery use to be.
I´m using an Swedish turbo STS IRX450 its build with some KKK parts and there own designed wheels in it. Its not a ball bearing turbo. Good for 450HP at 2.0 bar boost.
Last year i had 1.5Bar boost on E85 fuel. But this year i got more comp in the cylinders and i got HKS Twin spark. The only thing that stops me now is the MAP sensor... I think i´m going to change it this summer.
I´m going to dyno the car this summer to lets se about the figures. Looking forward to it....

very nice work man!!
like to 2 tone color choice.

[mikaelhoglund]

Here are some new pictures after the car is done for this seson.

i want.

I LOVE the two-tone pain job you've done on this. It looks really nice and I appreciate how it stays graceful with the lines of the car, starting with matching up to the edges of the FMIC. I also really love the colors in particular that you chose.

Do you have pictures of the interior? I think from an aesthetic standpoint, to bring everything together, I'd want to see some elements of the exterior reflected in the interior. It looks like you've painted some of the trim to match the silver on the car - it's hard to tell though.

Otherwise, all I can really see that's missing from the exterior is JDM headlights and hood dampers. Your car looks so clean, it's a shame to interfere with the lines of it when showing off your turbo setup with that unsightly hood prop thing (whatever it's called.)

Lastly, I think you need to address the engine bay some. Clean it up, make the blacks really nice and black and polish what you can. I'd change the color of the valve cover, too. It looks like it belongs to 2 generations/versions ago of your car! I realize it matches your calipers, but it doesn't all really tie together in a beneficial enough way in my opinion. The calipers tie in nicely with the silicon hoses on the FMIC, which works great. But the valve cover just kinda sticks out to me. Also if you can, get a heat shield for the exhaust. Nice work on the exhaust, but it's not aesthetically pretty (IMO). Ceramic coat it or cover it up with a good looking heat shield, and I think that will lend to a more tidy appearance in the bay.

I have done all the rebuilds and paint i sweden, but i dont realy know what the engine modifications cost. i have made a few each year for some years now.
But the pant i think was like 1500$ from a friend working as a carpainter.
