Mak5603's Project, Dual tip exhaust and splitters on! Options

[mak5603]

I've always wanted to make a progression thread, just can never find the time to, and the more i modify my Celica, the more I wish I had one. So I decided before it gets too late or I lose all my pictures, I will post one now, right before I swap my motor. A little background info, my name is Matt, I'm 21 and my 1995 Celica GT was my first car. I've always been into cars and modified cars so as soon as I got it, there were lots of things I had planned for it. However, still being a kid had no money to fund any big projects, until I got a job...Here are some pictures of my cars evolution to the point where its as now. Enjoy I will try and keep this as updated as I can from now on.

Here's where I started...

Just a stock black celi...


Wanted to do things, but had no money, so I painted my stock GT wheels red.


First performance mod was a v2 TRD Quick Shift Kit, was VERY happy with it, bought some GT4 spoiler blocks, while in the paint process, tried spoilerless, not my thing.


Painted my blocks myself, put em on.


If you ever are wondering USDM tail light or JDM taillight? JDM ALL THE WAY!



My winter set of wheels are those stock GT ones.
Basically, I fell in love with OEM JDM from there on, and the real transformation started. I fell in love with GT4's, learned A LOT about them, and ended up purchasing a project car (ST-165) so funds halted on the 6gc





Winter time came and my birthday is 4 days after xmas so I got a decent chunk of cash and help getting this.


As you can see, it needed A LOT of work, but I was 100% committed to doing all the work on it myself and getting it on my car. Bought so many parts for it, got really used to seeing this.


While the work was getting done on the 4 front end, got some new wheels.



HID's too.


Front end on! And some OEM '98 skirts!



Spacers!


Like I mentioned earlier, my car is waiting on the arrival of a 3rd gen 3S-GTE motor set from _Jim_. I am extremely excited to start the swap. These are not mounted yet, but here will be what my gauge setup will look like. I also purchased an Apexi AFC NEO to be put where the cigarette lighter currently is.


Thanks for looking.

Man you don't even know how bad I want to keep it but I've thought about it and this is what I came up with..

I am at this point 100% committed to keeping my 95 for life and converting it to AWD. With that being said I would have essentially two extremely similar cars, just one with more potential (the one with the 3rd gen) and better looks.

I have done some light mods here and there and really do love the car but it needs someone who doesn't have another much more costly and time consuming project going on at the same time, haha. It runs and drives but has literally been chilling in my garage so long it recently filed for a change in color code to: Dust 202, lol. Just doesn't get the attention it deserves because when it comes down to it, I just don't have that much use for it.

Final reason for the sell will have to be the fact I just want a rear wheel drive car... either E30 325is or AE86 GTS Coupe that i can beat on the drift track.
