Yup thats the car. Me and my friend build that car on his driveway. They car is using GC coilovers, Koni shocks, Eibak springs, Type R sway bar in the back custom install buy us. 14x7 Borbet rims on 225/50/14 toyos. The motor is just blue print and balanced and for the tranny it has a quife LSD and a type R finel gear, it all ran with a Spoon ECU.
I have some videos of the Celica but I need to load it up on to my p.c. Last year I had a good battle with a Miata and a Pinto at Willow Springs raceway.

Hey man I'd like to see more pictures of your car too, so I can get some ideas on what kinda color scheme I'm shooting for. You know I want to do a TRD type look, with white car and yellow, orange, and red stripping. I'm also going to run the number 98 like the old factory cars from the 80s and 90s. racerb

I kinda remember seeing your car run back then, cause ABC used to show the calebrity race before the CART event. The basic paint scheme on your car is what I'm looking at for mine.

Hey man my Ultra-Sheild seat just arrived today, so I'm just days away from taking the car in for it's rollcage. I'm just finishing removal of almost all the tar sounddeading material from the interior, and getting ready to preasure wash the whole chassis, before I take it in. I must have removed 50 lbs of tar from this thing and still could take out more, but I'm leaving whats under the front seats, cause it's so thin and low to the ground.

good job Bob. I hate taking that stuff off, try to clean as much as you can, here in Cali it gets about 100+ at the track in the summer and that tar gets soft and it sticks to your shoes and everything around it like gum.
