I'm back!, With a GT Four this time. Options

Hey guys, been awhile. Some of you might remember my car (it was Celica of the Month once! ), the black Celica with the Postert lip and Racing Hart wheels:



It was a lovely car, but only a 1.8 N/A so I got bored of it fairly quick. I bought an MR2 (non turbo) afterwards and a Supra MKIV (non turbo) shortly after that but something just felt off.. And I missed my Celica.

So I bought another one.. This time a white 1994 ST205 Celica GTFour WRC model!





It has a couple of mods, including a BC Racing coilover set, 18" Team Dynamics wheels, a Mongoose exhaust, a Blitz dumpvalve and an APEX'i AVC-R boostcontroller. Ofcourse I have some nice mods in mind, plan is to get her looking even better than the black one, so I'm already on the hunt for some epic wheels! Anyway, I'm picking her up in England this saturday so I'll update this post and start another project thread. I seriously cannot wait!

I just picked it up yesterday, but I've got my work (and that of a good mechanic) cut out for me.

- Clutch is slipping bad. Needs to be replaced. Can't even drive full throttle.
- Brakes are shuddy. Will replace them with brand new discs and pads (possibly Stoptech).
- There's a bit of rust on the door, but it's a 6GC thing. A bit of surface rust also but nothing out of the ordinary, the body is in good condition.
- The interior looks terrible. It has color coded panels in white which I don't like, so I'll convert everything back to OEM, including the steering wheel (there's a MOMO wheel in there). But there are no tears or cracks, so otherwise the interior is very clean!

Those are the bad things! The good things are that the engine feels great when the clutch isn't slipping, the BC coilovers are in very good condition and before the sale the previous owner had the car detailed so the paint looks pretty shiny. It also has a nice alarm system. Also, since it's a WRC version (only 2500 made) it has some fun things like the intercooler spray nozzles (which aren't hooked up, but I'll do that in the future).

It's a great car, she really sticks to the road, it's insane how fast you can take corners in this thing. Modification wise, I want projector headlights bad (they look so hot on white GT4's), I want it lowered a couple inches more, C-One lip, some sideskirts, some rear spats and some wide (9,5j probably) 18" wheels! But first things first.. Gotta get the clutch and the brakes fixed first. All in all, I'm happy with the car! Here's some pics I took when I cleaned her today:







Current modifications include:

- 18" Team Dynamics wheels (white ones on one side, black on the other..... lol)
- BC Racing BR Series coilovers
- Mongoose 3" catback exhaust
- Random ugly open air filter thingy which I'll replace with an Apexi one
- SARD blow-off valve
- APEX'i AVC-R boostcontroller
- Blitz Turbo Timer
- JDM facelift tail lights
