well not much has been happening with the Celica lately just enjoying driving and doing the odd bit of work here and there i did however score a set of genuine brake pedals (they are meant to fit a corolla) they were a straight bolt on mod so i'm really happy also adjusted the free play on my brake pedal and now have the best brakes i've ever had

yeah got your txt, I think I have tom's ones so mine has the foot rest on the left, they look nice and shiny though, however if you have some3 floor mats send them my way;)
ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
Nice pedals, are those custom floor mats? I noticed you have GT-Four on them. Did your original floor mats have TOYOTA on them or CELICA hyper sports ?
Also, Does that TRD rear spoiler fit the hatch holes for the 1996 3 post spoiler or the 1994/95 2 post spoiler?? Or completely different again and needs to be drilled and filled?

floor mats are custom i got them from where we have our mats made for TNZ as for the original ones i wouldn't know it never came with mats
and for the TRD spoiler i think it uses the same holes but not to sure maybe someone will know on here as it came with the car when i got it.
oh and Rusty no mats sorry mate but good try

ended up being around $1200 but yours would be cheaper as its only 2wd i think for that you'll be looking around $600 but don't quote me on that

umm as for how much don't know and don't really what to know i just keep improving what i got and don't really have an end point yet
as for coming to New Zealand sure no worries always happy to get more exposure for the GT-four but i'm sorry to say i don't really know anyone in the land of OZ so i guess you'll just have to come to NZ
Cheers

powerband is real good comes on strong and revs out real quick. looking at the Dyno plot i am building boost at 2k and at the full 20psi by 4.5k and rev limits at 8k so yeah fairly rapid

flying leason would sum that one up more correctly
