yea most of the rest of us can't compete with that since its one if the best (if not the best) looking cars on this forum

[Unicorn]

Aren't you COTM at the moment TRDGT4?

Can I ask a quick (and possibly silly) question about your car? I don't want to take the thread way off topic but could you tell me what all the oil cans in your engine bay are and why you used so many? And if they're not what I've assumed they are (catch cans) then what are they?

Thanks, and obviously I will be voting for TRDGT4 - can't really see anyone beating that to be honest! I love your car mate

[edit]

Scratch the question about the cans, I found this in your project thread;

and as for catch cans your right there are 4 two for the engine one for the trans and one for radiator over flow i also got a custom power steer tanks and having a custom washer bottle made to look like power steer

Ah, I gotcha now! It was the featured Celica section that I've been seeing "Underrated over achiever" under all this time. Your car is truly inspirational, I hope you don't mind me borrowing a few ideas when I come to building my 205

History of the car

Bought it almost 2 years ago now with just over 210k (around there). After 4 - 5 months of having her, I was in a car accident that messed up the front end. During the summer of 2010, I bought a full parts car and rebuilt the front end of my car. At that point it was silver in the front and black in the back, for over a year. Last November, I picked up another parts car that had just about 219k on it and was a standard (mine was an automatic at the time). In April of 2011, I did a transmission swap right in my driveway, with the help of Dustin and Steph (I cannot thank you both enough!). During that swap, I changed all the interior and exterior wiring over from the '94 Celica because it was the manual harnesses and also non-ABS. Also, I converted to the non-ABS braking system because my ABS had not worked in the first place, and I fully deleted the airbag system because I never replaced them after my accident. Over this past summer, 2011, I started doing all the body work on my car to get it ready for paint, and I recently got her painted at the end of November.

Engine Mods:
Weapon-R CAI
Ebay Headers
2.5" exhaust from the header back, 1 resonator, and a Flow master 40 series muffler.
Still has the stock engine, just rolled over on 230k with no internal anything being touched.

Suspension:
Rear JDM Strut bar

Exterior:
Preface JDM Headlights with Blue accent LED lights
Blacked out Turn Signals
Side Marker Delete (ones on the fenders)
Blacked out 3rd Brake Light
GT4 Replica Carbon Fiber Riser Blocks
Radio Antenna Delete
5mm Spacers in the Front
10mm Spacers in the Rear
Aftermarket 17" Rims (225 / 45 / 17)
Rims are now coated with Black Plastidip

Interior:
7th Gen Short Shifter
3 Post Non Airbag Steering Wheel
A/F Gauge
Blue Gauge & Key Ring LEDs
Blue Clock
Aftermarket Radio
Blue Map Light

Things to come:
Viper Alarm System over the winter
Lower Springs this Spring or Summer
Other than those I'm just going to be saving up for the next 4 years, while I'm in college, to buy a front and rear 3sgte clip. After college, I plan to do a RHD, AWD, and 3sgte swap my car so that it will be a replica GT4. Things might change cosmetically on the car in the 4 years, but it shouldn't be that much at all.
