So, I've neglected my Celica for too long! Anyways, I decided I am going to revive the Celica and start building her again. I am gonna take it down to Dr. Tweak and hopefully he can help me get her running again.

The Story: Sold my first celica (95 STX coupe automatic) to get a 1997 hatchback GT manual so I could do a 3sgte swap on it. Took it to the MR2 Guru, and he messed up the swap really bad and left me with a non-running car. And so, the car got moved around to several places, nobody could finished it, and it ended up sitting around and forgotten. I tried working on it a few times, but didn't get really far. I kind of forgotten it once I got this car:

1992 Lexus SC300

-Full authentic Auto Couture bodykit, w/ 97+ body moldings, fogs, and grill
-18" Leon Hardiritt Beils
-LS400 brake conversion
-1JZ-GTE twin turbo swap
-lip spoiler
-converted the interior from tan to black
-Pioneer AVIC-Z2 gps head unit w/ Metra faceplate
-Tein Comfort Sport coilovers w/ EDFC
-Electric Fan conversion
-Gated shifter conversion
-7th gen Celica Steering wheel w/ TRD horn badge
-6000K HIDs
-LED winker mirrors
-JDM window visor and sunroof visor
-Puddle Lights, Junction Produce goodies, smoked tail lights























I sold the SC300 a little while ago and picked up a 1998 Lexus LS400 because I needed a bigger car since I have a kid now. Been working on it for a little bit, still a work in progress.

Exterior:
• Hybrid 04-06 LS430 front bumper conversion (LS430 bumper merged with LS400 bumper)
• 04-06 LS430 Fog Lights with 3000K HIDs
• 6000K HIDs Low Beam
• Gold emblems to Chrome emblems conversion
• WALD International side skirts
• WALD International rear lip
• BRAGA red/clear JDM tail lights
• Bellezza Winker Mirrors (white LEDs)
• Stock dual tone paintjob has been converted to a monotone paintjob
• All exterior bulbs replaced with white LED/SMD bulbs
Interior:
• Junction Produce Kurotsuna
• Junction Produce Fusa
• Junction Produce Neck Pads
• Junction Produce Seat Cushions
• Recaro Baby Seat
• Carmate vip cupholders
• LED Lexus Lighter
• LS460 black wood shift knob
• All interior bulbs replaced with white LED/SMD bulbs
Wheels/Brakes/Suspensions:
• D2 Racing Coilovers
• Junction Produce Scara 19” staggered wheels w/ stepped lip
• Lexus alloy valve caps
• Cross Drilled & Slotted R1 Concept Rotors w/ EBR Ceramic Brake Pads
• UCA Clearance modification

Some shots of the LS400/430 hybrid bumper:




This is a shot of my team's logo:


Bellezza LED winker mirror covers:


Rear rotors and calipers (I painted them gold, I want to chrome them or polish them later though......or just get a real BBK kit). I know I know, they look freaking tiny, but the rims are 19", I swear they are a lot bigger, they just look small for some reason :woot::


Front Brakes (I know, my wheels are hella dirty, it's the rain though :sad:):




I love my carmate cup holders, got one on each side since the Recaro baby seat takes up the center cup holders.


LS460 black wood shift knob and LED Lexus lighter:


BRAGA clear (non-led) tail lights (although all the bulbs are LED though):


I had UCA clearance issues, so here's an easy fix to the problem. Anyways, now I got extra cupholders under the hood, haha.

Thanx man, It's nice to have people know what vip is around here. Why a 91-95 LS400 though? You can get a 98-00 LS400 at an affordable price as well, they're really not that expensive.
