Takumi's 94 Toyota Celica ST Options

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Welp decieded it's time to move on from hondas for a little bit and try something else, i acquired a yota not to long ago, and i've decieded to just part out my accord and move on.
Car handles great i like the look and it gets great gas mileage all ya really need in a dd. They won't be to much go fast parts put on this car, but it happens.

Heres a few old pictures from like a year ago.





Most recent pix i've taken (Today had to clean up the VC went with the old school look that matched the valve cover lines)




Engine/Drivetrain:
Swaped 94 7afe (old one spun a rod bearing).
New OE clutch kit.
Tune up.

Plans:
Ebay header, Vibrant chambered muffler, kool blue drop in filter with 2.5 SRI pipe ran into the stock box, Very mild regrinds probably 260's from delta.


Chassis/Suspension:
Stock aswell for now.

Plans:
Good set of springs, strut bar, and wheels 16's probably.


Exterior:
Pretty rough.

Plans:
Home depot lip (Fronts smashed up),Winshield.


Interior:
Same as the exterior.

Plans:
Clean it up i love the interiors in these cars feels like a mini cockpit.

I appreciate it she needs the attention, and lets hope this doesn't turn into a build lol. I'd rather just drive it throw thing's on it when i can.

[Tigawoods]

welcome to the site, good luck trying not to make it a money pit

[kurt95gt]

Welcome to the site
Youll end up with the modding bug like all the rest of us
this site make you want to build your car bigger lol
Good luck though she might be rough now but sounds like you got plans to fix all that

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Thanks fellas she is rough and needs a bit of TLC, but i got her for free she was my little brothers first car. I resently performed work on the car told him i'd take it and welp he said it's yours.

Anyway i will always have the moding bug i might have owned 3 cars out of 17 that were stock. My current build is what i don't want to do as it was costly....

F22b1 block/ Decked .005/ Honed/ Nippon pistons, rings, and wrist with coated domes.
Oem rod and main bearing's/ king thrust/ Shot peened rods with gsr 9mm ARP rod bolts/ F22a6 windage tray.
F22a1 head milled .035, a few new valves and supertech valve seals/ A6 valve springs/ Ported head/ Cleaned up A6 intake manifold tapered inlet.
And bolt on's etc etc.
^^ This is what i don't want to do again anytime soon lol. Thanks for the welcomes.

[kurt95gt]

F22a1 is a good motor
I had a spare one i was gonna,drop in my 98 civic but i Sold her before i got around to it

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Basically any F block from 90-97 is the same with very minor differences. My mildly built engine might stay with me for a future project. My plans were to add a kelford cam into the mix and some spray, but i'm burnout with hondas this is my 5th build and i've owned 7 since 07 not to mention countless swaps.

I did the engine swap in the celica a year+ ago and it's just as easy took like a days time, but sourcing the engine took months!

[kurt95gt]

Dont gotta tell me about the honda bordom
Ive had 2 civic hatchs a 94 coupe an a 98 civic 4door
91 integra an 4 90 honda accords lol
Ive had around 30+ cars lol
I only wanted tp do basic mods to my celica coupe
An now i own that an a 1mz swapped celica hatch lol

[monsterst205]

I've had a ed6 ef hatch, ef sedan, eg sedan, eg hatch, 2 cb7's, and a lude. I won't get into my others because i've had a little of everything i started with a 3rd gen fbody.
Yeah i'll mod this, but very mildly nothing like my past projects

Not anytime soon I might do it silver and black as i've already got a gallon of custom black mixed up that i was gonna spray my cb in.
I was wondering when someone would catch or say something about my UN lol, i just figured it fited well enough.

No, with a 7a it doesn't happen lol. There also wont be any "fast" parts of the car .....
With 105hp at the flywheel.... yeah, but you already knew that. lol

Welcome to the site, there are OODLES of threads on the site that will tell you how to fix everything you need to. Air bag replacements the works
Need advice? just ask. I promise someone here has done it lol
We aren't too stuck up here in these parts of the interweb forums lol

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Oh i could make it way quicker reguardless of aftermarket support, but i'd rather it last aslong as possible.

I appreciate the welcomes ya'll don't seem stuck up at all.

[kurt95gt]

We try to be friendly. Its whats good for the community an helps us continue to grow our knowledge on how to make them better.

So whats your plans for the suspension an the body?

We all have our quirks.

Plans are very mild i'll probably run some sprint springs (people seem to like them from what i've gathered on here) strut bars and some wheels. The car handles as is quite zippy through these mountain twistes up here.
As for the body i'ma pop what dents i can out and run a homedepot lip to cover the gap on the front bumper.

[kurt95gt]

Might be easier to just get a new bumper in genral

Any reason you dont want to build the celica?
I know you want a reliable dd but is there any other reasons
Cuz it sounds like your more than capable of building it up good an still keep the reliability in check

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

I don't have to paint it like i would a bumper and then hope it matches which it wouldn't exactly.

Reason is time and money ofcourse, i figure bolt on's and a set of regrinds should do me just fine that's more than most do with the 7a (and i might just get a spare head and port it aswell) besides everyone wanting to boost them.

I just want to keep it simple.

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

Got the stuff to do the lip today so i should have an update without the gap O wonder front end soon enough.

Heres my last F22a head i ported for my last project even got the yoter in on one of the pictures ha.




Heres the engine...



So as you can see i like to keep my bay/engines clean if nothing else, sorry for the honda'ness lol.

[kurt95gt]

Too bad she never got put to use

[Takumi-FujiWaraS...]

It'll get put to use either for someone else or a future go fast project of mine, i still lacked the cam and nitrous kit but everything else is ready to roll.

I've taken quite the intrest in this celica one has to go and honestly hondas are a dime a dozen and i have no issues tearing an engine down and rebuilding or building one in the future if i want a quicker toy to mess about with.
