Welcome to my '92 Celica GT's site. After over 252,000 miles, she finally decided to call it quits. I can't really complain after more than a quarter million miles. Hope you like what I did.
Stock Specs:
Inline 4 2.2L 5SFE Engine
Horsepower: 135 at 5400 RPM's
Torque: 145 at 4400 RPM's
Red Line at 6300 RPM's
This shows my front end with the clear euro turn signals installed.
This photo has my clear turn signals at night.

This is one of my American Racing rims and Zexius tires. I used Turtle Wax Tire Wax on my tires to help protect them and add an awesome deep shine.
These are my new tires I got on 3/20/07. They are 195/60R15 Zexius Xi 326 tires. They are considered performance tires but aren't top of the line. They have long tread wear and decent performance with a "H" speed rating. That means they are guaranteed to withstand up to 130 MPH and that's plenty of excess for me because I believe GT's are speed limited to 115 MPH. These are made by Falken and they should work good for me. I can tell you they grip a lot better than my studded snow tires did on dry pavement, LOL.
This Celicas got 4 wheel disc brakes baby. I might upgrade to drilled and slotted disks soon.
This shows my new euro clear turn signal light next to one of my old orange ones.
White LED windshield washer jets. A nice cheap and easy upgrade. These aren't wired to my parking lights anymore because I got stopped by local authorities for their slight bluish tint. Such B.S., HID lights have just as much blue tint.

Jet it the day time.
This my H4 halo headlights conversion, along with my H3 fog lights. They are Luminics H3 fog lights and are the JDM yellow color. They have great contrast with my white headlights.
Headlight in up position and turned off. You can see my diamond cut background mirrors.
Close up of H4 headlights. The original bulbs were replaced with Koito H4 Whitebeams. A Much better reliable brand. .
H3 fog head on.
These are my lights at night.
This is the Celica coming down the road. Unfortunately, I don't think my camera does my lighting justice, I think my car looks awesome at night but not everything shows up on the camera.
And the back end at night.
Halos only. .
Halo close up. .
I rewired my fog lights so that they can be on anytime the ignitions on, even if the headlights aren't on and the brights are on.
Here I used Testors Candy Apple Red transparent paint to paint the amber portion of my stock tail lights. I also coated them with a clear coat to give them extra shine.
These are my stock tail lights after I painted them.
The lights finished and installed on my car.

This is one of my Toyota Racing Development (TRD) vinyl decals. I'm not gonna go overboard on decals, just my TRD and number 9 Kasey Kahne ones.
This is the exhaust tip installed on my Celica. The old tip rusted on the bottom so I replaced it with this Pilot chrome tip with a 2.5" outlet instead of only 2".
I didn't like how my new tip had a 2.5" chrome surround but a smaller opening for gases to escape. I drilled holes in the metal ring shown here, to help relieve any excess back pressure.
I finally just took out the entire ring so the opening is now 2.5".
Installed tip.
I primered, sanded and painted my stock muffler with Dupli-Color Chrome paint to help compliment my chrome tip. It wasn't as chrome looking as I had hoped but still turned out ok.
I painted my windshield wiper arms with Metal Cast because they were starting to rust and I wanted something that looked good but wasn't too flashy.
This is my new antenna. My old one was busted off when I bought the car. My radio sounds a lot better now.
I always loved the clean look early 90's imports had with the retractable antennas.
This is what my car currently looks like from the outside.
This is my car in the winter. I have chrome wheel covers because my studded snow tires are on. They don't look as good as my rims but they keep me on the road.
A great day to work on the car.
