I've been a member since I got my Celica back in February. Since then I've seen lots of other Celicas on here and what others have done to them. Needless to say, this has instilled some thoughts as to what I'd like to do to my own. Today I sat down and "built" my dream Celica, just through what I've found out on here. Here's what I have so far:

QUOTE
Drive-train:
1MZ-FE
headers for the 1MZ-FE
custom dual exhaust with Magnaflow catalytic converters and Magnaflow mufflers
custom K&N cold air intake
E153 transmission with LSD
TWM short throw shifter for E153

Suspension:
Tanabe coil-overs
rear 3 point strut bar
front 3 point strut bar
Twos R Us end links set
Suspension Techniques sway bar set
JIC arm bar set

Brakes:
ST205 front calipers
ST205 rear calipers and emergency brake system

Exterior:
Curren front end conversion
Curren front lip
TRD side-skirts and rear spats
Euro spoiler blocks
Kouki tail lights
black 16" Enkei RPF-1 wheels
5GC side view mirrors
S2000 antenna
repaint in midnight blue pearl, purple pearl, or black pearl

Interior:
RHD conversion
Leather front seats
Japanese Pioneer double DIN head unit
premium audio door panels
replace speakers/tweeters with American, Japanese, or European components
DD subwoofer with American or Japanese amplifier


Of course most of this may never come into fruition, but some of it will. What does everyone else's dream build consist of?

Just got the reference, Home Improvement. tongue.gif It'd certainly be bad ass when all said and done. Hard part is convincing myself to spend $8K+ on a $2K car. laugh.gif

Haven't seen that movie in ages. There was Harry's Hardware, and he'd put stuff on his tab. So oh well. tongue.gif

I think the older I get the less I care about driving the street. I love to race, but not on the street anymore, plus theres not really anything i run into that can come close to hanging.

Getting older, and rally racing kinda took over my passion for cruising around. I see it all the time though, people spend uber dollars on crazy car builds, then they sell them once there done.

It's more about getting there than actually owning one. If I ever decide to sell the rx7 and build another 'street' car it'll most likely be a factory five GTM... but I doubt it. I'd probably spend the money building a replacement rally car.

Guess so. I'm fairly young and don't care for street racing, leave it for the track. I still want a car that looks nice and is fun to drive though.
