02bluerolla celica : resurrection project, 350+hp celica on the work !!!! Options

[02bluerolla]

Well is time for the celica to go under knife once again. The car is in bad shaped right now, but am planning to redo my whole swap. I am having wiring problems, the paint is chipping, shocks are blown etc etc. The Celica used to be my daily, so when i used to have problems i tried to find the quickest solution and now its coming back to haunt me. Now i have purchased a daily and have time to fix and redo the whole car. My originally my goal was to build a 2.2l stroker and make around 650hp . I started to buy parts for the stroker engine(98 5sfe, PFC, 3sgtehead etc..) , but was struggling to keep my car ACTUALLY running. I decide to put the stroker build on hault and fix the issues on my car. I decide to keep my stock 3sgte (for now ) put on some arp headstuds and a cometic headgasket, and see how much power can a stock 3sgte can make . my power goal is around 350-400whp but we will see. Ill post pics of the progress and ill try to write a DIY for the wiring.

Theses were the last pictures i took whens she was still running strong




This what iam thinking of doing for the exterior

TRD front bumper
OEM sides skirts
Hiro curren rear splitters "replicas"
TRD spoiler
Curren Tail lights
Repaint Gramlights
Brand new paint job ( stock red?)


I already started on some of the progress but cant decide on what color to repaint my gramlights .

Hiro curren rear splitters "replicas"


Here's a photochop on what color i think would look best. didn't go for black just cause is way to common.
PURPLE lol

White

Gold/Bronze


For the interior i wanted a sporty looking steering wheel , i like the 7GC steering wheel but to me it looked out place in a 6GC, the 98 celica steering wheel was hard to find and idk i dont like it for some reason. So i decide to get me a MOMO steering wheel .....a TOYOTA MOMO .





Here's the turbo setup that i bought a few months back, Blitz KKK K27 3470moj topmount turbo.
The manifold was design for the 3rd gen so it doesnt bolt up to the 2nd gen head, but a little welding can fix that.
I havent taken any pics of the setup yet but here some from FS thread the seller posted.

and here are some pics of this turbo mounted in my old car when the compressor housing was powdercoated mirror black

Ill keep yall updated for any more progress, hopefully next weekend the motor should come out and ill start on the wiring.

Good luck on the rebuild.

For the wheels, I think purple would look terrible. White would be good, and gold on red wouldn't look very good. Bronze would be great.

The steering wheel...... honestly that Momo looks like crap. You think that flows better than the 7th gen wheel?

Go find a Rav4 steering wheel. Much better.



And sell my your bumper.
