[Lil-Joe101]

Cant believe I havent posted in this thread. Abdolutely phenominal job Rusty!!!!!!

[Rusty]

thanks mate


Took some pictures in the weekend, no updates though. Just wanted to share with whats been done in different areas





whats been done on the outside

The late spec headlights (lows and highs)
the SS-III aero kit which is the sideskirts, front and rear splitters, front grille with a SS-II badge (was orgninally SS-III, but have removed the extra I)
front and side clear indicators, although the sides have discoloured so I'm going to get some white toyota ones off TRDGT4 next time we met up
And then theres TRD rear spoiler






whats been done in the inside

New speakers & an Alpine headuntit, cant pick up NZ radio frequinces with the factory one, except classic hits...
TRD carbon fibre interior kits which replaces the guage cluster, various vents and the centre dash
TRD quick shift set
Celica floor mats
Tom's pedal set, which were already in there






Whats been done to the handling/suspension side of things

I used to have lowering springs back in the day but now have Tein adj. coilovers
TRD 3pt front strut brace & the rear ST202/ST205 rear strut brace
GT4 6 spoke rims powdercoated white with toyo proxes tires




performance/engine bay
heat wrapped the extrators then a HKS exhaust system does the rest
airbox, which took how long to make?
TRD sparkplug leads & sparkplugs, which I think was the first mod
TRD oil filters
theres also a TRD oil filler & radiator cap in there

Fantastic looking car! Can you give the exact specs for your wheels? Size, width + do you have spacers anywhere?

Thanks

They are later spec GT4 rims I believe.

specs: 16 x 7.5 rim. +45 offset. he has no spacers and he's running 225/45R16 Tires

Nice interior rusty!! those trd pieces look mighty yummy. Just a 3 post steering wheel and Id say it'd complete the interior. Still your the only member I can say who has gone from nothing to a whole hell lot of mods! and such an organized thread too

correct, 1996 onwards also on a few SS-III's, not too common to see them I think.


Funny you should say that as I was looking at some 3post TRD wheels (black with red stitch) a while back, its a bit tricky as you have to cross reference it to other models which use the same wheel. Also we have rules here in NZ about the removal and replacement of airbag wheels... which I managed to find a loophole, so I can replace it if I want to.

[TRDGT4]

looking good dude!!

I got me a set too - shure do look perrty.

[Rusty]

cheers guys.
nice find aswell




Wasn't doing much today, so I thought I'd get a dyno run to see what I've gained after doing a little bit of work that is: cold airbox, trd leads, hks catback exhaust and the intake temp sensor, also run on 98 octane now

New



Old



Both


I'm happy with that, more smoother across the rev range, better mid range and doesn't trail off hi rpms....plus it sounded great
(Couldn't get a video of it due to safety reason, got a sound clip on my phone but came out distorted)

[rave2n]

That is a gem there you own!!

[malpaso]

I like that new design a lot! Great work.

[Urputus]

I like the TRD rear wing. You have red Celi, I have red Celi (and surprise in my garage ) so thanks for showing me how the rear of my Celi will look like

[KAOS]

Rusty - any chance you have pictures comparing a pre & post EGR 3SGE that I could look at?

Look at what I found

[Rusty]

the main give away is the intake manifold imo, as the non egr is nice and smooth

[KAOS]

Thank you!

[FORGMANN]

Rusty i will guess brake lines...and btw your lucky that box is not at my house..
