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.

The TRD Pros are awesome. We are planning on picking one up when we get our '06 Limited a little closer to paid off. I would take a Trail Premium just as soon as a TRD Pro but the wife really wants a Quicksand or orange Pro. The 1GR is underpowered but just as reliable as you'd expect a Toyota to be.

The quick sand color is defiantly cool as well! I actually felt like it moved along quite nicely. Didn't seem too under powered for what it is! -------------------- Technician @ Airlift Performance
