My '94 ST, And her shortened story
I want to win lol

Bought the car with my own money at 15, almost 16. Car was "deemed totaled" by previous owners insurance. Got the windshield fixed and a few body parts, but she didnt move... for many reasons. Joined auto. vo-tech in high school and brought her in for like half the year as my project (I was really far ahead)
Got her up and running.. and stopping lol.
Continued working on the car non-stop, up until now at 18, and have done absolutely everything myself, (with an exception of a little help, installing the new 7A) And the help of everyone on the forums of course. Love working on the celi, and trying new "bold" things.

▼Heres a Picture of Now▼
I dont have an expensive camera, or photography experience to bring out the true beauty, but I tried

As you can see I've done alot of work, and as it may not be the cup of tea of some, its what I've always wanted. And I feel like you should never go in the direction someone tells you, but the way YOU want.

Future Plans- (never ending)

►Coilovers 2"+ drop
►As being my DD I love the 7A and getting 33mpg+. And I am only 18 putting my self through college lol, so money is bit tight! But after CSP I am determined to swap by end of next summer 3SGTE here i come But I have been doing alot of research. And seeing the success stories in person, are really inspiring
►Hiro Spoiler on its way thanks to a member smile.gif
►If the 3s swap doesnt pull through, I plan to continue custom bodywork Looking into different rear bumpers, but i love the invader front so im keeping that without a doubt!
►Also looking for projectors
►There is always tons of ideas floating through my head, just need the time, and inspiration to envision it

▼Things you can't see▼ A Very Quick Overview▼

►Have spent alot of time with wiring, lighting, painting, and customizing.
►Have torn out the whole interior and painted.
►Custom red head lights, Custom Fogs, LED Interior (vents, handles, floor, seat, door, E-brake, dome, ect), 7 Color Underglow
►Have a 250 Amp Mechman Alternator, 2 batteries (Kinetik) all 1/0 Gauge wiring where it can be. 4000 Watt amp two 15's, and my custom spec. built box. 7" flip touch screen. Rear seats removed and just built in fiberglass "holder" for amp, crossovers, control box, ect.

Hope to get Your votes And Good Luck to everyone

This is my '96 ST202 SS-II Celica running a 3S-GE making 133KW or 179HP, just clocked over 75,000KM's (46,000 miles)

Keeping it clean and simple with the SS-III kit, complemented with a range of TRD items and Tein adj. suspension. Plans long term, keep it naturally aspirated. And to fit the items I've ordered, HKS: exhuast and silencer and camgears

Rusty's my hero.

[KALLusion]

Had the car for not quite a year, just really started to do stuff now, I was having too much fun just driving it! Car has been lowered (not sure what kind of springs, I purchased it already done) pioneer mp3 deck with sony amp and fusion sub, Ha Ha I know its alot of different but stereos are not my thing and its was all free. 17" rtx antitoxin rims with Nanking rubber. Cone air filter (oh its an ST btw) Just did the GT4 conversion on the hood and bumper within the last couple of weeks. Future plans, well I was gonna go with a gt swap next weekend and then 3sgte in the spring (the GT stuff is all very cheap) but I deceided to pull the car off the road for the winter) but I came across a good deal on a silver top. I know my car in not pretty but its driven, I have never entered before so be kind.

Mine..... wait a minute not yet...

Like Rusty's car a lot....

[e30og]

this is a dumb question but how do you fuzz up the license plate? photoshop or something?

[mgnt232]

Photoshop, as well as photobucket editor (just google it) and if you have an account it brings you right to the editor. I believe its under distort. Quite self explanatory from there

Ok, so the story on my celica is, I spent 5 years just trying to buy this car. After 5 years and a bunch of drama from the ex-wife, I finally got it. I have had the car for almost 2 years now. In this time I cut my springs, put slotted rotors and green stuff brake pads on it, tinted the wing windows, nigh shaded the tails, turns, and marker lights. Installed the stereo system, and put on the z3-fenders (from this site). Also put the 17's on it. Along with a couple other various things.
I fell in love with the car the first time i saw it and will never sell it. In the future i plan to re-tint my windows, either get different wheels for it or get wheel spacers. Hopefully his winter I will be repainting it. Other than that the only thing that I want to do is either an engine swap, or a turbo. Not sure yet.
I think i did this right, if not sorry. But here is a picture of it.

[Spider77]

No coupes?
Anyhow, have done a little here and there, but nothing major (say like an engine swap). As of now my plans are to keep her running, installing skirts and rear splitters (primed today), and a SSIII grille (which should be here in a month or so).

Just noticed that PhotoBucket only has a med size........what a shame, and I thought this was America! Yeah for FlickR!

I bought this car off my parents 3 years ago who bought it from an older couple, both of which only used it as a summer car. After given the car I was sad because it really did seem like a mix between a girls and old persons car. It was girly looking on the outside but had oem wood trim on the inside. I then had an individual by the name of jon come strolling through my car wash i worked at at the time with the same year and design of my celica except with ss3 and hiro parts surrounding his car and curren tail lights and I noticed the 6gc sticker in the window. So i decided to look it up when I got home and here I am today. I slowly built up what it is today, still stock engine with no more than a k&n filter and plugs and wires. The exterior I was very picky on what I wanted so it took me a while to decide on what to do. For future plans I believe I'll be buying some 404 skirts and making them fit the sides. Then get some zigen rims that I have picked out. And also I'm going to turbo the 5s on a low boost setting to have a little more power for my daily driver. Hope you like what you see, If i get picked that's awesome but I won't know it til december when i graduate from basic training, I actually leave tomorrow just thought I'd post this and give it a whirl before I went to bed. Thanks everyone be back soon.
