Hi,
Here is the story of my Celica build. My RX8 had just been stolen and my wife was pushing me to just buy a cheap daily for myself. So having a long history with Celica's and ST165's. I thought i'd buy a Celica. So I found this 'Automatic'...yes I know. One owner, old lady Celica. I thought, that had to be a good cheap daily. So I bought it and the thing just snowballed. I'll let the pictures tell the story. This is a picture of it infront of the lady's house, the day I bought it.  First thing I did was buy GT4 Raiser Blocks.  Then came the 18 Inch Rims  Then came the GT4 bonnet  Then it got lowered 2 inches  Then we did a very bad paintjob on the bonnet at home and got some 17 inch rims, which I think are UGLY.  Then came my final set of 17 inch rims, and a GT4 bumper, because someone at work reversed into me, yeeaaah.  Then came a full respray, and clear indicators, front and side.     Then came the JDM tails.  Then came the tinted windows.    All this happened over a 2 year period. I am pretty happy with the way it looks now. The only things I would love to do, is get some wider tyres and some spacers to give it a nice stance. And also, when the 5SFE dies, I am tossing up between a 3SGTE or the Camry V6 motor. Any feedback or thoughts, go ahead. This post has been edited by THE20V: Jun 18, 2011 - 1:36 AM -------------------- 2 X ST165 GT4's

Thats the twin turbo version. Another chapter begins..... $7,000?! Wow! I'm glad I didn't pay that much for my car haha. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

I paid $14,000 for mine, completely stock, non-GT4. That was about six years ago though!
