Hi All,
Been active on the FB pages so thought I should share here. I am building my dream ST202. I have had a number of Celica’s in my car history, but this one called “Sky” is my forever car. It’s my 100th car I have owned. I have become obsessed with getting this on spot on. Currently she is in a complete very smart state, awaiting a full tear down from top to bottom and a total new build. Planned Spec is as follows. Engine Based upon a rev 3 3sge block and head Block – Chemically cleaned, line honed and corrected, 86.5mm bore Gen 3 Genuine Toyota 86.5mm pistons and completion spec Rings Forged H Beam lightweight connecting rods Tri-metal completion bearings Dynamically balanced, ground and polished crankshaft ARP cylinder head studs Competition MLS head gasket Uprated Piper valve springs Ported Cylinder head Shimless “solid” lightweight lifters Long Duration high lift camshafts (ground from blanks) Piper Venier Pulleys Hurley Phenolic inlet gasket Hurley 45mm throttle body kit, using Jenvy Throttle bodies Custom intake Ramair Air filter Hurley 24-2 wasted spark trigger kit – (magnetti Sensor) Celica T230 Coil packs New Injectors Adjustable fuel regulator Upgraded fuel pump, twin set up with swirl pot Alloy Rad Custom expansion tank Billet oil cap Custom painted rocker cover Ally Catch tank Aeroquip hosing throughout Misimoto PAS cooler New starter motor and alternator Custom water pump Remote electrical thermostat Exhaust is as follows Japspeed Ceramic coated Exhaust manifold Decat HKS Super dragger exhaust system This will be run on a custom loom by a link G4+ Fury ECU Transmission S54 box fully rebuilt Kaaz LSD ARP flywheel bolts Hurley lightweight 3sge flywheel Black diamond stage 2 clutch Toyota new release bearing BRD poly gearshift bushes TRD short shifter kit New Toyota master cylinder Rebuilt Drive shafts Suspension All new refurbished hubs front and rear Powder coated rear beam, cross members and wishbones Super strut front cross members Super strut steering rack BRD poly steering bushes Whiteline and GT4 – play poly bush kit throughout front and rear Cusco front under brace Front strut brace BC BR coilovers Hardrace rear arms Ultra rear sway bar Whiteline drop links Powder coated front sway bar GT4 rear strut brace All new inner and outer tie rods, ball joints etc All new Toyota bolts, nuts, washers and fixings Custom spacers front and rear Brakes KSport 8 pot front calipers in red with 330mm discs and blue stuff pads Ksport 4 pot rear calipers in red with TBC discs and blue stuff pads Custom brake stopper ABS stripped out AP racing brake proportioning valve All new lines Wheels and tyres Rays Volk GTP Daytona 17 x 8 lightweight rims 215 40 falken rubber Body Battery relocated to the boot BRD poly engine mounts Custom vented bulkhead for intake Seam welded engine bay Smoothed and tucked engine bay TBC body kit Carbon rear plate surround, number plates and window deflectors Carbon capped mirrors Smoothed rear tailgate, no badge, or rear wiper or high level brake light Import rear lights with LED conversion Rear diffuser Rolled front and rear arches All New rubbers New windscreen Carbon hood with custom vents Projector front lights Crystal indicators Colour change Fully painted inside and out Interior Dash 2 pro electronic dash Tablet with Android Link software for centre dash display Custom leather front and rear seats and door panels Mono Monte Carlo steering wheel New carpets Hyper sport mats LED interior lighting Leather trimmed interior inc dash Alloy pedals and accents etc Plus More Current state of play is as follows I have the engine all built. It’s sat waiting in the garage ![]() ![]() I have pretty much all the parts bar the body kit, rear brakes, and ecu plus dash Current state of the interior ![]() ![]() Wheels ![]() Current engine bay ![]() The car is going to go soon up to the shop which is helping me with this, so it can be tore down to a bare shell. Then it will be stripped back to bare metal, any rust damage etc fixed and the metal work mods can start. I plan to have the car built over the course of this year and then ready for the 2018 show and track day year. The car is being built to the best I can do, so it’s all new bolts and the best I can afford in terms of set up. A set of track rims is under consideration, with track rubber, as the car will see track action, along with show and shine work etc The car is slightly famous already, I purchased it last summer, from a good friend, who had already started the mods and got the car featured in a car magazine. ![]() How I first got car ![]() ![]() ![]() Since I have owned the car, I have added a lot of mods, that I already had, such as Koni adjustable suspension for the front and KYB for the rear with Eibach springs, the rims, the interior, the lights, the HKS and K& N filters, chrome detailing etc. How she sits right now ![]() ![]() ![]() The car is super straight and very very clean; I wanted the best base for the build possible. Anyway below are a few pics to give you the idea. https://www.flickr.com/photos/149025875@N03/shares/x8bcRQ https://www.flickr.com/photos/149025875@N03/shares/z07PT6 https://www.flickr.com/photos/149025875@N03/shares/uR2989 https://www.flickr.com/photos/149025875@N03/shares/z11tK8 This post has been edited by alwayzsidewayz: Apr 1, 2017 - 4:08 AM |

I should explain that all the current mods and parts fitted to the car, like the genuine ss3 spliters front and rear, adj shocks etc, will be kept, as while the car is being built, I plan on getting another 6 and modding that for the wife. Although she has a project Mazda. I have lots more pics if people are interested. From small stuff like the TRD fuel cap, to the full engine build. Happy to post if anyone wants some more pics or info?

Wow haven't seen a build like this in a while. Brakes seem overkill? Maybe save the money and go ST205 brakes? But my guess is that you want that set up because you can get a 2 piece rotor configuration...

Hi, cheers for the feedback. Brakes are a bit OTT, but as you say, I want the rotor set up. The bias valve will help as we dial them in, as I am dumping the abs too.

Very nice setup.
What is your impression on the Ksport brakes? |

No idea, not on the car yet, won't be until the shell is stripped and build up starts. Having had custom bells with 330mm discs with 205 calipers before on my 165, I hope they are a match for those if not a step up. Huge amount of work still to do on the build.
Cheers for the feedback. |

Few recent shots inside and out.
New handbrake parts after pattern stuff failed and some new carbon Fibre goodies! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Very happy with the carbon parts, lot more to come. Just ordered coil packs for the motor, and sadly having to do a quick overhaul of the Master cylinder as brakes are a touch soft despite bleeding. but hey ho, its a celica, always parts to fix |
