I picked up this car back in January looking like this


and then I scored this wheels from Discount Tire for $30 each!


Then just before PSTOF I decided I needed to do something about the paint and thought what the hell I give the roll on paint a shot.

The car came with 22r with a 32/36 Weber carb.

so far I have done the following...
1. Replaceed the 32/36 with a 38/38 Weber
2. I replaced the shocks with KYB GR2's.
3. Trying to replace the blue interior with Black, currently I have the front half done except for the seats.
4. Replace the wheels and tires (see above)
5. Installed stereo, with 4 TEN speakers I removed from my AllTrac plus sub and amp.

The car runs pretty well other then the vibration/shaking I get when I take off from a stop. Ryan (Snonuff) was helping with this
and we think it's the center bearing.

Oh and I need to do something about the front bushings, the steering is really sloppy

I was thinking I would try and build an engine for this myself. Something with more performance, probably going to use a 20r/22r Hybrid
engine I have. I'd like to get as much HP out of it as I can but keep it a DD, streetable car.

For now I want to use my weber 38/38 with it but other then that I'm open to ideas, sugguestions, recommended parts/mods, etc...

Let me know what you all think.

The louvers are sick . You need to source the og supra aero if you can . The spoilers really clean up the back .

I still have a few small things to work out but it is running.

I Need a new Alternator, picking it up tomorrow and I have a OBX header that needs to be installed. I tried but the holes on the flange need to be drilled out a little to make it fit. Hopefully that will be fixed tomorrow too.

Very nice Celica man! Did you get the wheels online?!

I actually have one on there now but it was after I took the picture. I had to find one that would clear the double chain timing chain

I finally got the OBX header installed...

You should wrap the header cause it looks like there is lines close to the header. Plus it will keep engine bay temps down.
