Hi guys, I figured there was no harm in making a build thread for my daily. I found this car 3 months ago, 6 hours south of my home town and just couldn't pass it up. The car was just too good to be true. No rust, low miles and in just beautiful condition, with all the comforts needed for a daily. The build will be very slow seeing this is just my daily, my main project is another vehicle. I have a goal of making the car appear as close to a true GT4 WRC as possible, I'm sure I will get some hate because of this but it won't bother me any. Seeing we never got them in the US I thought it would be a nice change, no plans on a 3sgt swap (yet). So let me bring you up too speed.
1994 Toyota Celica GT (US spec) 112k (when purchased) 5 speed 5fse Day I got her home: New app radio 4! And Tomei shift knob I took from my Evo End works gauge bezel with full blue LED interior lighting. Showing off the beautiful interior: JDM tail lights, tint, and a sk2 antenna were a must, the other beast sleeps in the garage: Scored a set of authentic 99 JDM WRC spoiler riser blocks, with the correct 3D grapihte badges: Couldn't stand the factory wheels any more: Suspension, I work for Airlift Performance so this is only temporary.. custom stuff will be coming soon:) Just as I'm installing the suspension, this arrived: Installed, looking nice. The wing is removed sent out for paint! Much better: Scored a C-one lip, still needs paint of course, along with a nice set of OEM side skirts! More parts from endworks (This guy has been my favorite to deal with for these cars.. by far)! Again, hood spoiler needs paint! Wing back from paint, with the emblems installed! I'll be updating as often as possible. Hope to meet some new friends through here! Thanks guys.

Haha thanks guys. Not much of an update. But i had some spare time today at work. So I decided to start on the trunk set up for the suspension. For those that are not familar with how our product works it is a fully threaded strut body, with either a double billow, or sleeve type air spring. This will have 30 way adjustable dampers front and rear, along with front camber plates.. The management will be our latest 3H system, with hight sensors. Each bag pressure will be individually adjustable, of course there is also presets. This is essentially the same set up I have on my Evo Not only will this be lighter then the factory suspension, it is fully adjustable, and out performs coilovers!
Just a quick pic after work. Got the hood spoiler painted and installed, still waiting on the side skirts and front lip. Figured I'd share a bit of the other project. Here is my weekend car. 2006 Mitsubishi Evo 9. Bought this car from the original owner 3 years ago 100% bone stock.. Now it is far from it, car made 563whp and 417wtrq on the 6262 turbo at 32 psi 93oct this year. The car is currently under the knife (even though it was parked running flawlessly) with the plans of 650whp larger turbo, injectors and different clutch, trans and final drive. Also I have a goal of getting the car at 2800lbs. Currently the car weights 3020lbs with a 1/2 tank of gas. So many more carbon fiber parts (Like a full roof)! It moves along nicely as it is, I'm very excited to see what it makes come spring! Day i got her: Now: The puppy As you can see i have a bit of an addiction with billet, carbon, and titanium... I'm really hoping to not bring this addiction to the Celica, it is just a daily after all!
