With another local gtfour.


The interior is in good shape, it just needs to be cleaned well.


I need to clean the engine bay some as it still has a bit of dust in it. I may make a panel for the air filter as well. The contraption on the top is the water to air intercooler.


A shirt I am making inspired by the car.








With a local 6th gen.




At the years first autox.



Winter wheels (I need to fixed a curbed one and paint them all one color)

And the front lip I just finished working on today. After it has some time to cure I will mount it.

This makes me miss my 5th gen.

Love your 5th gen BTW. Makes me want another one

THanks guys.

[HectortheRican]

Holy cow... that is one beautiful ST185. I'm finding it difficult to think of a better looking one. Excellent car, man!

[richee3]

I haven't checked your thread on the Z forums lately. It's coming together perfectly! I love my new Z and all but Celicas are my first love. I can't wait to see what's in store for your 185 after you sell the Z.

[cms-gt4]

Thanks guys. I love the Z, but we have a kid on the way so no more 2 seaters for me. Once I finish the brakes, and AC I will make a push to get the Z sold. The things I am working on will likely wrap up what I do for the year.

For the distant future, I am planning a front LSD. That is if quaife comes through on our group buy. Then likely more weight reduction. Maybe a painted CF hood and roof plug. Maybe some lighter racing seats. Then of course the next major purchase will be some nice light wheels. My 17x9 fall in the 19-20lb range right now. I want to get something in the same size but closer to 16lbs. So if they are still made, I might get some advans but I am leaning towards rpf1s just cause they are cheaper to replace and going to be made a while. On top of that, I plan on maybe a GPS speedo, 205 transmission or lower final drive. Running rc fd + 2" taller tires takes away some of my acceleration fun.

[BonzaiCelica]

remove the sunroof. but yea great looking car. 255 size tires are absolutely huge which does compensate for the 9 inch wide rims.

yea the 17 x 8 rpf1 will be good since they come with a +35 offset.

[cms-gt4]

If I get the any new wheels they will be at least 17x8.5. If I get the rpf1 I will get 17x9.

[Smaay]

makes me want to get my All-Trac finished

[cms-gt4]

Get to it Smaay.

[SupraKid]

Lol first he has to finish his celica....or maybe his supra...

[cms-gt4]

One corner done.

[Box]

Awesome car. I'd like to have a 5th gen All-Trac one of these days.

[garin]

wow nice ride. not used to seeing clean 5th gens! keep up the good work!

[cheela]

one of my must have cars.

looks beautiful!

[SwissFerdi]

I've never found myself particularly attracted to any 5th gen, but that is beautiful. Must be the silver that does it...
