Jax's ST204 Thread Options

[jaxx6GC]

I figured I'd make a thread on how my 6GCs coming along. I have a 1997 Celica GT that started out as a rental car in Michigan. The original owner purchased it with around 30,000 Miles and brought it down to Louisiana. He put about 140k miles on it and blew up the engine. My buddy picked it up in 2013 and had a used 5S put it and also got it resprayed. Heres a picture right after he got it painted.



Sadly the shop broke the badges it came with. If you've got a set of gold badges hit me up. After that, he drove it for another 60k miles. In mid 2016 he bought a miatia as a project car and got a fiesta ST. He didn't want to see it go to some random person and I needed a reliable daily so I picked it up. It was in pretty great condition. The only mods it had was a weapon R intake, tint and painted wheels. It also came with the original paperwork, manual, dealer brochures, business cards and window sticker. Here's the car the car right after I got it.








The first thing I did was replace the stereo, oil pressure gauge and give it a deep cleaning. I also tossed a 7G short throw shifter in. I drove it for a couple of years and modded it as I went along. The car had some issues and sat for a couple of months but I worked everything out and got it back on the road in late 2017. In August of 2018 I got backed into by an old lady in an F-150. She broke both passenger side headlights, dented my hood and cracked my bumper. I used the settlement to pick up a 95' ST from a member. It came with a ton of goodies including a full SS-III interior, hypersport floormats, SS-III tail lights, GT4 rear brace, TRD front brace, HIC Visor and toyota sunroof Visor. I swapped over the interior along with the door pannels, some other interior bits, a fender and headlights. I also tossed an old school badge on it.



I then got backed into again in October 2018. My hood was dented in more along with one of my highbeams and my bumper. I decided to sell the ST to a buddy who needed a reliable daily and used that money along with the second settlement to order some BC Racing coilovers and spacers.



I replaced the steering wheel with a 3 post from a Rav 4 and here's how it sits today.







It's come a long way since I picked it up. I've put 50k miles on it and enjoyed every single one! I didn't expect to ever do anything to my Celica but I kinda fell in love with it. I picked up some 5Zigen Pro Racer GN+ for a couple hundred dollars since. I'll update the thread once I get them on.
