86 celica gts coupe

got an old school alpine cd deck finally, I wanted one for quite sometime to match the rest of the interior. I didn't like how a newer deck looked with the rest of the interior.

 

I cant believe I forgot to post a finished picture of the engine bay

engine specs
4age 20valve silvertop with c56 5-speed
ae111 blacktop ecu (map based) and electronics
Fujitsubo 4-2-1 ae101 header (I had to make a downpipe to fit)
HKS cat delete followed by a 60mm exhaust
SQ engineering 100mm trumpets
SQ engineering pipercross filter adapter
Pipercross ITB filter
mishimoto low temp thermostat

 

I don't have any videos but I will take a video when I have a chance. I still have a few things to do before I start on upgrading my suspension further. I need a new hood release cable and a Right side door hinges, That will of come after the flares are painted/bodywork

 

I got my fenders cut, my flares test fitted(now the flares are getting ready to get painted)

I will post some more pictures in a little bit

 

I got my fender flares painted and reinstalled as of this last week, I also had to replace the starter I ended up keeping the front half of the 20v starter(clutch/gears) and using a starter solenoid and the back half(armature, brushes and brush carrier0 of the tercel starter

 

heres a picture of the flares

 

I got a set of st165 foglights to go with my st165 front clip. I still need a fog light switch and pigtail, I'm thinking of just using a switch and pigtail from a mk3 supra. on a different note I did a compression test because it was misfiring at idle. the results were not great cylinders 1 was only at 140psi, the remaining cylinders were at 180psi so I did a leak down test and found that my exhaust valves were leaking so it looks like I'm going to rebuild the engine this winter.

 

SO...Im going to prep and paint my gt-four bumper. I cant wait to see how this turns out

 

I got my power windows working again. It was just the switch, found something out about the switches though. It turns out ma70 supra's use the same window siwtches as our fourth gens so I just used a window switch from a mk3.

 

Not alot has happened recently but I have decided to swap in a blacktop 20v (my silvertop was down on compression on cylinder no.1) by the end of winter.. I will have to get different trumpets though because blacktop throttle bodies are 2mm bigger then silvertop throttle bodies (sq pro 100mm trumpets just like themy silvertop). I found out that my local toyota dealer stocks clips for the door panels so I replaced the missing broken clips and put new plastic on the inside of the door (mine was ripped, torn and not held on very well.

 

Here are some pictures. That were taken during the summer



This weekend I decided to take my air filter off and I was greeted with a surprise
The metal mesh backing on the filter was rubbing on the trumpets but thankfully i was able to get the scratches/gouges out

And battle garage is sending me a spacer plate to fix the problem.

 

Thanks. I'm glad I went with the 002's next summer I'm going to try autocrossing with the celica. I went a while back and met a fellow fourth gen owner thats involved with autox
