Stem seals sounds like a good excuse for headwork and cam,ect. Haha, rice it up?! You mean liberty walkesque over fenders, front mount oil cooler, crazy camber, scraping the road? Won't be happening, although I will be requiring some stretch as after the 35mm drop, the rears are fouling the over fenders over bumps. Of course there might be a few choice stickers in the windows, possibly tyre painting and a new stainless steel system. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all  No crazy engine swaps are in the pipeline either! The SSRs are front 14x6 +25, rear 14x6.5 +19 (PCD 114.3) - a the moment it's running (from memory) 15mm spacers on the front and 40mm on the rear I would love some head work, but funds are a tad limited at present after the work equips and new rubber too... Very nice Celica btw |

That's a seriously cool car, man. I was so close to buying one last year (not a GSR though!), but ended up with another rotary that shat itself days after buying. Big regrets there! I'd still love one of these.
The new wheels are a great choice. What are the specs on those? The MK1s look a little weak on there. Looking forward to seeing this progress!

jayom, Cheers dude! Loving the FB, I did give some quite serious thought to one actually (especially after seeing the JDM Legends one, I have the Hotwheels version on my shelf ) Sorry to hear about your wankel lunching itself, your build thread's a good read! The Work Equips are 8.5 x 15 -9 front, 9.5 x 15 -22 rears, I really wanted 14s but the black polished face is 15" min. Still, they don't look a whole lot bigger when up against the SSRs. Test fit on Saturday to tweak the spacers, then tyres on Wednesday, I can't wait! I know *exactly* what you mean about the Mk 1s, my sentiments exactly!

It's always a bit nerve wracking, spanking out so much on rims and not really knowing how they'll look! The fenders were an option as far as I know, mine aren't from factory but I think they're genuine as they have the flat lip to them. Sure someone can correct me |

Nice to see early Mitsus, I have never seen one like this IRL since we didn't get them in Sweden.  |
