Copied from celica club in the uk but from now on ill update as i go.....

After being celica-less and having a flit with a blue oval i've got back into a celica. A big thank you firstly to rich as without him id be up sh*t creek, he's been there to offer storage, breaking space, a hand and much more than mates ive known 10yrs+ have.

Spent weeks doing richs head in showing him celicas and generally bidding calling and viewing various cars. I got gazumped twice, one i rang on a sunday at ten said id come up first thing the next morning got a text at 8am saying it had sold. Then put a deposit on another, only to have it returned as the partner in the business had took a deposit earlier in the day.

One of the lads who used to deliver parts to my garage said he had one for sale a few months back his own daily so i fired him a text on the off chance (prior to the others) and he wanted telephone numbers. After the gazumpings i decided to text him an offer and he said that would be ok. So on my half hour break at 6.30pm rich picked me up and ran me to view it, i had ten minutes a deal was done and i was back to work. I picked it up after work at 1am lol

Shes now home and ive done a few miles and im loving it. She's a 94 (i think) SS2 Superstrut. 115k/km Imported in 2000. Plenty of bills with it and only a few mods smile.gif





Externally the only mods are clear wing repeaters, the tints and the alloys, which i hate lol



Enginewise she's got a K+N, A 4 Branch (made using the stock mani flanges), some ebay leads and a Stainless backbox/fart cannon!

Im loving it!

I entered the toyota sprint series (google it)



We're in registration paid :s

Got the modifying ball rolling smile.gif



and gave her a bath which revealed the only bit of grot on her frown.gif was under tyre mud spray....

ah well chop weld and my next mod will cover her up wink.gif





Fitted some enkei's



Went for a play in a ford in the hills nearby





This is the progress so far.... much more tomorrow smile.gif

Got rid of my now famous infamous fishbowl backlight and fitted these babys



Fitted a HKS Suction Kit ooooo er, my old K+n is for sale if anyones interested?



Also chucked on a Blitz rad cap



And as i don't want to fly everywhere fitted a recaro sr recliner and subframe best mod ive done so far car feels so different smile.gif had one in most of my jap cars



On the to fit list these arrived the other day....



and this arrived this morning as modelled by mini-ims

Ah. I spent a minute or two in my head trying to figure out how those stock rears may otherwise be more bulbuous than the JDM units and came up with nothing, the clarification helps. tongue.gif
