My 2008 Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge Offer:

Sports Car Racing is the heart of my life. Not a day goes by that it doesn't give me pleasure, satisfaction, challenge and reward.

When I went to my first track school day, I was very excited about the new adventure of driving on a race track for the first time. As time passed by, I found myself mesmerized by the thrill of racing. It was like magic. The more I poured myself into my racing, the better I became, resulting in improved car control and faster lap times. It was exhilarating.

I can't adequately express how much my Celica GT4 has added to my life. It has become a daily part of my life with friends and family. Anyone who knows me knows how much it means to me to build my car piece by piece, creating my dream vehicle through sheer effort and a love of the sport. Driving my Celica GT4 thrills me like nothing else, and practicing just reinforces my self-confidence and desire to race in a professional series.

Since I have decided to convert this car into a track machine only, I have realized how important it is to apply yourself to something you love. The rewards are vast. I have gained great respect for the guys and gals who dedicate their lives to doing something they love. I live to drive and I hope to race for others in the near future. I would feel very fortunate to be asked to be part of the 2008 Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge and it would be my pleasure to represent the garage heros �who work to support their passion and love� because it is not just about racing -- it�s a life style!

This page is an extension of who I am, what I like and meant to help people who are looking to upgrade or modify their Celica GT4s.

The only reason I am listing this information is because when you vote on my tire package understand that this is a Five Star SET-UP for any Weekend Track car or Any Sports Car. A lot of people on this Site will agree with my statement about it been a "FIVE STAR SET-UP". So, understand i am not a tuner or racing shop, that gets free stuff from the manufactures reps. It's just me and new pictures will be posted when i get the tires mounted on the rims....

Well, guys here is finally my Video of My Car on The Dyno (My 1992 Toyota Celica GT4 AWD Turbo weighs about 2850 pounds and should complete a 1/4 mile in about 11.934 Sec. It was Dyno at XSENGINEERING's on 09/12/2007 and the results are 337.20 HP at the wheels, and about 438.36 HP at the flywheel):

IF YOU ARE USING AN AP APEXI POWER FC WITH A MAP Sensor Kit (MODEL SW21). This is what you need to do....

This is how you need to wire the MAT and AIT on ap engineering setup

MyDarkStar's 1992 Toyota Celica

To save wiring in new wires you can connect the AIT sensor into the brown and black wires in the afm wiring.

The pin outs will exactly match one of the stock ECU's of the JDM MR2 turbos SW20 '90-'93

# note that there were revision 1 and revison 2 models within this period! hence there will be corresponding rev1 & rev2 AP Engineering PFC's

Impressive job so far mate! I have a '90 ST185 which is not nearly as spoiled as yours yet. It has carried us to the Le Mans 24 hours for 4 times allready though. The one we had before,did that 3 times. Great travellingcar. We're running 1,2 bar at the moment and have been enjoying her on a german mountainpass and the Nordschleife lately. Say,that's a mighty interesting strutbrace you're carrying underneath your enginebay. Were did you obtain this piece? Greetings from Holland, Remco
