this is a beautifully done Celica. Your celica may be one of the few reasons I tune up my celica. I have a couple questions I would really appreciate it ifI could get answers to.
With the exterior and astetics, where did you get those eye lids and front lip? and what car is that steering wheel off of?
And with the engine, is the head the stock 5sfe? and if so, how much boost are you running with that setup? if its the 3s, how do you get it to bolt up? this is definetly a noob question I know but how does that exhaust system work? Cuz I dont see headers running down under the block but theres still a muffler.
And how much of a drop in suspension is that to obtail that flush fit? I might turbo my stock engine and get 200-250HP just off my stock setup (5SFE, auto trans) but ill start off with basic greddy exhaust and a better intake from weapon r

THANKS MAN ..... smile.gif WELL I MADE THE EYE LIDS WITH JUST STICKER VINYL ,, IT TOOK A COUPLE TIMES OF MESSING UP LOL . I GOT THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF A 99 CELICA THAT WAS AT A JUNK YARD BUT IM NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE .... I HAVE A STOCK 5SFE HEAD WITH 5 POUNDS NOW ... WITH A 3S TURBO MANIFOLD WHICH BOLTS RIGHT ON ... THE EXHAUST IS SIMPLE THERE IS ONLY ONE PIPE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE COMING FROM THE TURBO TO THE BACK OF THE OIL PAN .. AND ALL THE REST COULD BE STOCK IF YOU WOULD LIKE ... .... I GOT CHEAP EBAY COIL OVER THEY WERE LIKE 50 BUCKS ,,,,, THEY GAVE ME A 3 INCH DROP ...... WELL WITH THE INTAKE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED TO FAB ONE UP AFTER YOU BOOST IT ... IF YOU LOOK AT MY ENGINE PICS I DON'T HAVE ONE ON MY ALTERNATOR IS IN THE WAY ........... BUT YEA ANY WAY YOUR MAP SENOR WONT ALLOW MORE THAN 5 PSI .. AND IF IT DOES THE CAR WILL BUCK LIKE CRAZY frown.gif .... WELL THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR POSITIVE COMMENT .. ANY MORE QUESTIONS HIT ME UP


HEAR IS I PIC OF MY DOWN PIPE

man those tyres are suicidal.....beautiful lookin celi tough
Thanks for the responce, and its a really nice turn even if that lip is from the garden center lol I was surprised to hear its only that lol But I may have to ask a bit more but thats the most detailed and straight foward info ive gotten from any forum I think lol So thank you so much for telling me about this awesome setup, I dont know if ill boost right away but if I do, im thinking this design with that boost would put out about the numbers I want. What are the numbers on this?

FWIW, stock GT piping is 2"? Fairly sure a turbo would like 2.5".

3" tends to be a better option once you get up into the 300hp range, it will flow much better. or you can get a 3" cutout thats what i did, sounds amazingggg

Yeah. I hate them too. You're better off with the TRD 'quick' shifter. ACT clutch disc also has a quick clutch engagement. Engages smoothly as well.

Probably a weird question, but do they make athe ride alot smoother compared to the stock suspension? and do you know what brand those are?

I hate short shifters. It doesn't feel smooth, it feels clunky and awkward like it's not on right. The stock one is shorter than any car I've ever driven that was stick, so it's fine for me. I'd agree with that 100%

Piece of advice, eBay coilovers are a terrible decision. They rattle, die fast, and don't hold their level well. If you want smooth, get a real strut/shock setup like mine or spend the big bucks for the real coilovers. Not the kind that rattle and go over your existing struts.

how did you fit that? i see that it is a bit farther back in (to clear the deeper bezzle on the AEM gauge). i got the same single DIN holder and an AEM temp gauge, but am having some issues fitting it. and how did you fasten it to the sterio brackets/frame?

thank you. smile.gif
