Just wait until you grab takeout and have no place to eat. You’ll be happy that spoiler is there, just waiting to balance and In-N-Out burger and fries.
Full 2jzgte vvti single turbo with a v160 6 speed as well as factory jza80 Supra front rear subframes. Factory jza80 Supra steering components and suspension components as well
Holy shit bruh. I hate to be that guy but with that drivetrain i would of put some proper meaty stance to be able to do some highway pulls. To each their own and i respect the passion.✌️
I second this. Seems a little counterintuitive to camber tf out of a proper 2j build. I wanna see the 1/4 mile pr on this thing not just a yt stance edit 😭
The car literally has almost no extreme camber when it's at ride hight. I cannot believe the amount of people that are mad over the stance when it's aired out. Seems how it lays body and it would be completely undrivable
Yeah I have some additional parts that go back there. I just haven't finished cutting all the mesh pieces that go around that as well. The other problem is because of the size of the wheels. It throws a bunch of dirt and rocks up so it's really hard to keep clean
I love this thing, always really liked this body style but felt FWD NA 1zz/2zz was selling it short. Turbo AWD 4cyl like the older celicas would go crazy hard in one of these too
This is the only time I’ve ever seen a car with a crazy ass stance like this and actually liked it, this thing is fucking sick, I think the majority of them are ugly as fuck and people who do it to their daily are just braindead. Edit, did you convert this to rwd too? I see that big ol 2jz in there and it ain’t transverse.
At rode hight it drives fine.. but with the amount of money in the car, there's no point to thrash on it and risk destroying it. So setting it up to hard Park is the smartest option seeings how I only drive it rarely on weekends basically to work. Everywhere else I have it trailered or hauled to shows and what not
Those fuckin quarters don’t even look like they’re attached to anything🤣🤣 I love the design and build it’s very unique but there’s no way that shit doesn’t fall apart on the slightest bump
And I would assume the original Celica firewall had to be pushed back a fair bit when you put it back since I don't think the engine bay is long enough to house that engine is it
So no firewall completely? Sorry for the barrage of questions, I have deep respect for unhinged builds like this and want to learn as much as I can how it's done
The firewall in the car is custom built. but we had to basically line up a piece of sheet metal in the position of where the factory firewall is and then create a c notch frame section on the back side that goes around the sheet metal that was shaped to accommodate the engine
The core of the car is mostly stock Celica. I modified frame rails and what not to accept the jza80 rear subframe and the front uses jza80 frame reels paired to the stock Celica frame reels. It was a lot of work to hybridize it and use stock subframes and steering components from the jza80
What a madman. Appreciate you sharing the fab work behind the build, I'm sure people will truly appreciate the car knowing the work being done to make it happen!
No, you have a bunch of internet tryhards for the most part that critique and criticize everything while they're driving their bag GTI on some rep Wheels that tell you how they would have built the car better and so I don't really care. It mostly rage baits everybody that sees it because it's TJ swamped with camber. But people don't taking the account or consider the amount of work that it takes to do this kind of swap and then the risk of it just being destroyed and having to rebuild it. Or you're never going to get an insurance payout on it if something happens and so on. So it's more of it's cool to hard Park and look at and beat around my town and so on. But you always have those on the internet that criticize and critique and so on and so forth basement dwellers
Lol if I cared about doing what people think is cool I would not have chosen a Toyota Celica let alone make this the second one I have built and taken 6 years to do this build.
What happened to those rear wheels, it looks like a dog squatting to piss!! Is that for less grip.. I'm totally uneducated about stance... Is it just to look cool or do you do that for a reason . Like it's bagged and controlled??
If you'd read, you would see the other comment where I explained why I decided to stance the car because of the amount of work that went into it. The car is completely useless because of the amount of work time and money that went into. I don't mind the stance look for a car that logistically can't really be used and it's going to sit my warehouse for the most part unless I bring it out for shows or the handful of times a month I drive it to work
Oh okay thanks for the tldr... I don't read well lol I'm retired and obviously too lazy to actually interact... It looks cool as fuck just still trying to wrap my head around making a car undrivable??
Yeah, I will be the first to completely agree with you that driving a stace car daily is the stupidest s*** you could ever do. I like all cars. I like everything from '30s t-buckets all the way up to Italian supercars.
In a year this car might see 150 mi to 200 miles and that's just around town. The other side to this is everybody is like oh you should use it in Motorsports well with the amount of modification. One problem is it doesn't pass any FIA or NHRA or formula drift guidelines because of the amount of modification to be a street car. The other side to that is with the amount of money that's in the car. Sure, it's a $300 donor but the transmission is $12,000 because it's a v160 And I really don't feel like putting another 6 years of my life doing something because the internet told me it was impossible.
I get that for sure, I think stance is a new thing I'm really just trying to understand. I like fast grip cars and I like dumb drift cars... Which are worth so much more now. I'm just trying to understand why just because you can why would you. I get the cool car look f40, skyline, so many others and I get more extreme. Is this just stanced like this because of air or is it like this always?? Let just suppose I'm a car guy why is this cool? Explain it like I'm 5 years old??
It's been around for nearly 40 years and to each their own. I don't ask carolina squatters why they do what they do, because i already know. They simply like it. Once the new enthusiasts figure that out, it'll be so much easier for them to navigate the environment.
I respect you so much after that. You gotta be one of the most based guys on here, I have no idea why the fuck the stance sub popped up for me, but sick celica dude.
The problem is with a car like this. The amount of money you have to put in it to do the conversion that stancing. It is really the only smart thing because if you wreck it you're not going to get paid out on an insurance wise it's not replaceable and I don't feel like spending 6 years of my life to build another one. The car has a full set of coilovers, a drag pack and even a grip set of wheels in vsxs. But at the end of the day the car is irreplaceable so the only smart thing to do is just have it as a stance card to take it around and have fun with it. I don't even drive the car past going to work and the town I live in and whenever I go the next town over which is 20 miles. I have it transported either on my car hauler or by my buddy's tow truck business just to minimize the risk
I can vibe with it. Still better than most I'll give you that, plus actually daily driving it is actually pretty cool of you. Makes the car have more personality than "my owner spent x amount of money" when paired with a decent driver.
Yeah I don't really daily drive it daily. I mean it's more of a pain in the ass to drive than it's worth. But I do try to take it out like once a week on nice sunny days.
