Thought I would share my 2005 Toyota Celica T-sport build as it will not have much being done to it in the next few months as I plan to save money in preparation for a supercharger kit install in the next few years.
A little about the car Model: Toyota Celica T-Sport Year: 2005 model Quoted BHP: 192 Engine: 2zzGE (engine co-developed by Yamaha and Lotus and used in the Lotus Exige and Elise, main differences was the mounting of it due to RWD drivetrains and the fact it was supercharged from the factory) Drive: FWD I have owned the car for just over a year now and have most of the cosmetic things done already. Few upgrades here and there also. The car was bought completely standard apart from a double din radio. I have changed it to my taste and absolutely love it. The car has a similar setup to Hondas 'V-TEC' as when it hits 6200 RPM (varies from year to year) the ECU sends a signal to the OCV (oil control valve) and forces the camshaft to have a higher profile acting like a DOHC (double overhead cam) and when this happens a surge of power happens. Its an incredible fun car to drive and by todays standards for being a 1.8L N/A car is definately up to standard. Handles brilliantly and is just soo much fun hence why I would like to give it a bit more power to match its looks. Its a car I do not want to ever sell.

After the windows were tinted and a towbar added https://i.imgur.com/rCdUl6H.jpg https://i.imgur.com/O1yWqHN.jpg Current day Exhaust clips A few interior shots Mod list: Rear windows tinted
Rear fog lights tinted JDM style Towbar Custom powerflow exhaust with 3.5inch angled tip (interchangeable decat/high flow cat) 3SDM 0.01 Alloys, 5x100PCD, 8.5J, ET35 wrapped in 225/40r18 tyres. Eibach proline lowering springs (25mm drop) Front strut brace (upper) Tuner style CPR lug nuts Short shifter Weighted aluminium gear knob Red SMD conversion for instrument cluster Moman instrument cluster gauge face Custom red fabric door card inserts Red interior footwell lights TRD styled gear gaiter TRD steering wheel emblem Painted centre console plastics and gearstick surround OBDII data reader Ecumasters DET3+ Piggyback ECU (2-step launch control) Genuine lotus exige/elise spark plug cover RaysCorpUK custom bonnet gas struts GReddy front lip TRD side skirts Sports M Rear bumper spats TRD Spoiler Vortex generators C-One hood scoop Custom headlights with DRL/Halos Red Climate control LEDs Interior dome light LED upgrade Carbon dipped A-Pillars Carbon dipped armrest Custom hardwired usb car charger to replace cigarette port JDM style import rear number plate Clock changed from stock orange to red Toyota Avensis front brake calliper upgrade (larger calliper, disc size increased from 275mm to 295mm) Mtec drilled & grooved discs and pads TRD door latch covers Anodized fender dress up washers in engine bay TRD seat gap fillers Aluminium battery tie down Future plans As I said already I am looking at a supercharger kit which on a stock engine will return numbers of around 300WHP. The kit includes intercooler, intercooler piping, injectors, fuel pump, ECU, blower, longer belt, pulleys, air filter. Secondary air pump delete will also be needed. Relocate the coolant bottle.
In doing so I will need a new clutch, most likely Exedy stage 1 clutch and an upgraded oil pump or oil pump gears Looking at a full car wrap/respray Will be going onto coilovers as well Lower strut bars front and rear Full polybushing is also in the pipeline Uprated ARB Adjustable drop links front and rear Rear camber arms Stage 2 camshafts Low compression built engine Re-paint engine plastics properly Polish aluminium rocker cover and intake manifold Bucket seats Harnesses Roll bar for harnesses Rear seat delete Aftermarket steering wheel Gear linkage polybushes So as you can see the list goes on and there are probably things I have missed out. My end goal is a clean supercharged Celica running safe boost. The car has moved so quick in a single year and I am always looking for parts and have stuff ongoing but I need to slow down a little bit as its early days. I'm only 20 and currently working in a garage and at college studying car mechanics means I don't earn a lot and have little time so I aim to save this year. I also am planning on taking online courses on EFI tuning, wiring and engine building. Also need to think about buying a house. So I know it won't happen overnight but I am determined. If anyone wants to share their cars please do and let me know how you got it to where it is. Thanks for taking the time to read this! https://i.imgur.com/XUVlCc7.jpg |
