Hello there friends. smile.gif So i was idle at home and thought of doing a write up of my celica here in Fiji.I'm a 18 year old university student and was gifted with the celica on my 17th birthday.It's a 1994 model ST202-BLPVF.Standard with a 3rd gen 3S-GE motor.I bought it dead stock(2009) from the previous owner and the car had done just 65XXX as it the owner had a company transport so it was sort of a weekend car for him.I fancy having it as a daily driver to uni now biggrin.gif Here are pics of when i went to see the car:







Then came time for it get a new paint job a few weeks after i bought it(also had to change one of the high beams coz it had a hole in it and a low beam too that had broken brackets):




This was all that had been done to the celi till the last year of high school(2009) when i seeked help on this site(Thanks Rusty for the information)on changing the timing belt.Also got in some mild TODA race cams during the process that my brother brought from some place:





The first exterior mod i got was a pair of JDM tails and the interior mods were that of a pair of 6.5' ministry of sound door speakers,a Kenwood head unit.V12 1400 watts amplifier and 2x 10' Bomber woofers:





Then came the Fujitsubo Giken exhaust with a full 2.5' pipe conversion from front to back with a single 2.5' resonator(later added a 2 inch resonator too to save on fuel and to reduce ricer noise kindasad.gif )





Got the rear suspension changed(was too stiff) with OEM ones,changed front stabilizer links and the had brakes serviced:





With the mechanical and suspension taken care of,time for some more exterior and interior mods biggrin.gif :







I had a cousin do some leather into the interior seats and door panel too biggrin.gif :





The 2.0' resonator to kill sound,improve low end torque and save on fuel:




The car as it is today with all the information i gathered from this site.Believe me people this is celica heaven,filled with a whole lot of information.Thanks a lot buddies,all this would not have been possible without your input.I'm looking forward to a V6 turbo(3VZ-FTE probably)swap in the future.Input on it will be highly appreciated =].For now,here's pics i took yesterday,Enjoy smile.gif :
