I was over at Santa's workshop today...

[jlitman]

And it seems he's been doing some work on rebuilding his sleigh... Looks like the elves who toil at Fensport will have some competition soon ;)

Enjoy!

More coming soon :D

[Rico6983]

sweet Jesus......that's a work of art coming together there

[supracelica32]

wow just wow...that thing will be fun to drive once finished...no one will ever know what hit them when they see a rwd celica lol

[o0o0oitzsuzi]

m-azing.

[swyn]

very nice, u should keep us updated :)

[andrews]

yes, keep us dated!

[wtcnbrwndo4u]

Damn!

[v3bahumut]

O' my

[itchyvi3t]

isnt that lowredcrzr's car? not sure he would like you posting pics of his work.

[VoodooTRD]

thats going to be the best celica ever!

[Jintei]

thats going to be the best celica ever!

...and also the fastest.

[jlitman]

isnt that lowredcrzr's car? not sure he would like you posting pics of his work.

Yeah, I snuck over there, hit him over the back of the head, and then quickly snapped a series of spy shots before he came to :rolleyes:

[con10der8]

DAMN..... i think i wet my pants

[RekD0514]

Damn that thing is stripped. Now that what we like to call modification. haha The tranny is creeping up pretty far. Amazing how that is all gonna fit.

[iflabs]

Any idea when it's going to be finished?

[itchyvi3t]

considering he has been post sneak peaks of his car im guessing that means he doesnt want people to see his plans until it is completed.

[TRDoug]

That's gonna be sweet! How come all the dates on the photos are March 17?

[jlitman]

considering he has been post sneak peaks of his car im guessing that means he doesnt want people to see his plans until it is completed.

or... maybe, just maybe, I actually know the guy given that he lives in Tampa and his garage is 5 minutes from my apartment, happened to be over there today to get some work done, and he personally approved each picture, fully aware and pleased that I was going to post them... :faint:

If he didn't want people to see it before he was completed, he wouldn't post ANY pics. These are obviously just more "teasers" of what's to come ;)

In fact, one of the two or three recent sets of pics was also posted by me from the last time I was over there.

[TRDoug]

I can't wait until the install guide comes out, HEHEHEHEHEHEHE :thumbup:

[jlitman]

That's gonna be sweet! How come all the dates on the photos are March 17?

The date on my camera isn't accurate. If you check my pics in the WI thread, they are also dated for March and the kit was only installed like two days ago :shrugs:

Actually, that date stamp feature should be turned off anyway -- I hate it. :bang:

Or... maybe I can travel backwards in time ;)

[eastchi]

wtf??????

[Carbonized_GT]

wtf??????


...?

Anyways, That is freaking insane.

BUT I guess ill be the person who has to ask...

Why a 1jz and not a 2jz?

or a jz family motor at all?

why not a 3uz. 1ur?

[eastchi]

****s crazy. i dont think a 2jz would fit

Sorry, folks. I'm just the guy lucky enough to see the project up close, take the pictures, and share them with the community. All the big, behind the scenes plans are top secret.

But I think Justin won't mind me telling you this much: Based on my discussion with him today, I can tell you that his Celica will offer some serious competition for the Fensport Celica in terms of power and performance. Plus, while the Fensport Celica looks practically stock, Justin's will be a true one-of-a-kind work of automotive art ;)

[eastchi]

indeed it will never done before!

[Carbonized_GT]

****s crazy. i dont think a 2jz would fit

The bore is the same between the two, the difference is the stroke. Thus the extra .5 liters.

So sizing shouldnt that different, BUT i cant say from experience, never seen them side by side.

[badceli]

When Justin told me he was thinking about doing this a couple years ago, I thought...."Yeah right, like you're really going to put a 1jz in your Celica".

Now that I see it actually coming together, all I can do is sit here with my jaw on the floor and daydream about how cool this car will be.

Right now the Fensport Celica is my all time favorite, but Justin's car will definitely be my new favorite when it's done.

For those that don't know how beautiful a 1jz can be....

http://www.newcelica.org/photopost/data/500/18208untitled.JPG

And with a little more polishing....not a 1jz, but you get the idea....

[SocalTRDgt]

cant wait to see the finish product

[SickCelica696]

It'll be amazing as long as you can keep it as sleeper as possible. Aside from the large rear tires :gap:

[03gts6speed]

damn thats sick!

[evil eye]

Damn, Justin doesn't play around. Glad to seeing things coming together nicely.

It'll be amazing as long as you can keep it as sleeper as possible. Aside from the large rear tires :gap:


Did you see the custom widebody on this thing? It's too late to be a sleeper. ;)

[lpphreakx06]

Dang can't wait to see it done...

[SickCelica696]

Yea, I'm kinda disappointed the inside frame wasn't painted.. I'm assuming that will be done once all the chassis stuff is figured out. I just hoped you wouldn't spent that much time and $ to leave the inside red :chuckles:
Did you see the custom widebody on this thing? It's too late to be a sleeper. ;)

Minor Detail :gap:

Actually from looking at the pictures for awhile I just thought it was the stock body since I saw the red still..

[FallenOne]

Damn this really is some nice stuff!

[Carcept GT-S]

Damn ! a new age "celica-supra"

Awesome!

Um, yeah, not going to be teh sleeper sickcelica696 wanted

[omabramo]

whaaa??? :eek: the first few picks got me all exited, a rwd celica... sweet!
i honestly expected to see a 3s in there at most, not a freakin 1jz, damn...
its good to see people do things like this
:wiggle:

How Can I Find European Side Markers, The Pointy One
Instead Of The America Version, The Oval Round One.

[lowredcruzr]

i see that jordan posted the pics, no i dont mind him posting them up this way ppl can see whats going on, i went with the 1jz b/c i can make just as much power as the 2jz at half the price, the inside of the car isnt painted b/c of all the chassis work i didn't see a point in doing it when i was gonna be tearing it apart. And dont worry the engine bay is gonna be beautiful i got lots of goodies gotta love Greddy. Anyway more pics to come after xmas. As far as the sleeper part goes there is not way in hell this will ever be a sleeper

Hey Justin,

I'll talk to you after x-mas -- MERRY CHRISTMAS (not "happy holidays") and Feliz Navidad, my friend :D

[trd_gts]

holly sh!t. keep us posted!!!

[Sultan]

very nice - I look forward to the day when we can all see pics of this amazing accomplishment completed...

[mrluilou]

thats insane!

[Carbonized_GT]

my god, you can probably fit your head into the widebody vent near the taillight.

[JDMare]

How Can I Find European Side Markers, The Pointy One
Instead Of The America Version, The Oval Round One.
What are you talking about? The Euro spec has no pointy side markers. :crazy2:

I wanted to say, that I doubt it will be competition for the Fensport celi. After seeing the widebody pics, I am sure it won't be. :rimshot:

And the Fensport celi can look stock to a blind person or perhaps someone, who has never ever before in their life seen a 7.gen Celica. :cool:

Still, props to the owner, hope it gets done just the way you want it. Keep it posted. :eatpop:

The Fensort Celica has a TRD wing and sides with a C-ONE lip and cf hood -- that's no more flashy or unique than most of the celicas around here...

The Fensport Celica is very impressive in terms of performance, but appearance-wise it is a fairly ordinary Celica -- in many ways the Fensport Celica is the ultimate sleeper. It looks like many 7th gen Celicas on the road, but under the hood, it is like no other out there.

When completed, the widebody Celica will also be very impressive in performance AND it will be like nothing ever seen before in terms of appearance. Moreover, there hasn't been a RWD Celica on the road in about 22 years, let alone one that will perform like this one will!

The Fensport Celica is awesome indeed, but wait until the widebody is completed before you dismiss it so lightly ;)

[JDMare]

... I can tell you that his Celica will offer some serious competition for the Fensport Celica in terms of power and performance. Plus, while the Fensport Celica looks practically stock, Justin's will be a true one-of-a-kind work of automotive art ;)
I was referring to this statement.
With the huge heavy bodykit and the "One Jay-Z", I don't think it will be serious competition in terms of power and performance actually.

As for the stuff I can see on the Fensport and not on my stock Celica, try stronger TRD M-sport shell, roll cage, cf boot with plastic rear screen, cf hood with modified scoop and some sweet locking catches, cf mirrors, Motec digital gauges, Recaro seats, custom suspension with Tein coilovers, Volk Racing wheels, cf engine covers, Momo snap-off steering wheel, Tar.Ox brakes, etc... I could go on, but if all that stuff is "practically stock" then 99% of cars on here are stock. The technical part of the Fensport is a work of automotive art as far as I am concerned, so I will not even go into that.

I wish the best of luck to Justin, once again. I hope he pulls this off.

[lowredcruzr]

trust me with 750hp it will be a force to recken with :) oh yeah and the wheels came in today :)

[mukalicious]

awesome. can i call shotgun on the maiden voyage? :wiggle:

[Vengeance]

This Car is amazing!!!

[robare99]

That car will make Santa it's bitch!

[Punkers7465]

WOW

[vegeta4ss]

wow, youve made a lot of progress since the last pics I saw. I'd never have the balls to hack away at my celly like your doing Justin. I hope when your done its better than you imagined.

[Carbonized_GT]

im curious...

What rear end did you decide upon? If your goal is 750hp it has to be beefy.

[drewd]

Just....wow. :faint:

Let me know when it's ready for the track.. I gotta see this thing in action.

[lowredcruzr]

its an 05 mustang cobra IRS i was going to do a solid rear axle but then your handling goes to crap so if i want to ever drift the car the IRS will make it alot of fun. the rear is supposed to hold about 850-900hp

[SocalTRDgt]

That car will make Santa it's bitch!


lol

Wow just wow.... how long do u think until we see this Monster go into action...?

Good luck with everything

[SLVR Stealth]

I remember probably 4 years ago when you're car was all flared and molded dropped all the way to the ground with the tires tucked. You still kept that Blitz look. It's looking great can't wait to see what kind of rollers you're going to put on that bad boy. It's nice seeing veteran Celica owners go wild and crazy. The color is my favorite not to mustard, orange, or yellow perfect mix.

[lowredcruzr]

the wheels are Work equips 18x13 rear and 18x10 for the front, i miss it the way it use to look but i think when i'm done i'll be happy

[Sultan]

do you mean 19x13 and 19x10 because I wasn't aware that the Equips came in 18's...

_

[lowredcruzr]

yeah they are 18's they are about to go out for powder coating

ah can't tell that part is a secret
Let me guess Justin....if you tell us what color the wheels will be, you're afraid somebody will buy the same wheels....powder coat them the same color....build a full custom widebody that looks just like yours....drop in a 1jz and then your car won't be unique anymore.

Justin, I don't know what bank you robbed to build this car, all I can say is that it was worth it!
:bowdown:

Rest assured you have my undivided attention. :thumbup:

[GSBoek]

Can someone tell me how the heck I MISSED this? I'm a huge Toyota in-line-six fan and I happen to drive a Celica too. How could I have missed this :( LOL

Kudos Justin, all I can say!

[lpphreakx06]

damn thats a lot of rotor!

No kidding its huge!

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

I demand more pics! Justin, finish this car!!

[lowredcruzr]

prob not in WA but i'll see what i can do. hold your horses i'll post some more pics soon

[02celica]

I wanna see the beast completed.. so is this your car? or just a show car a company is putting together? (Im too lazy to look back) but i know you said they rotors were to big for your car. and it looked like it was a celica.

[lowredcruzr]

its mine, i'm building the car. its been a long hard road and alot of custom work. when its done i'll show it at shows but i'm gonna drive it unless some company gives me alot of money not to. I guess we will see what happens

[02celica]

^OH so whats up with the red celica? is that your's too? lol watch like some big ass company will pay you to go show it :) that would be nice dont ya think?

[silverCELICAgt-s]

his red celica is the beastly new celica, lol.

[lowredcruzr]

the car was red to begin with then i painted it top secret gold. After it is finished i'll take the whole thing back in for paint then the engine bay and interior will be painted to match. Id love to have a company pay me to show it. Any money back would be great

[natewan31]

damn it. i can't wait anymore, you better make the trip up the east coast car shows when its done!

Everytime I see new pics of this thing, I can't believe it exists. :faint: It looks like it has a long way to go though.

[SilvrGTS]

ill be stoping by to see this beast soon.

[Shizuma]

wow...the driveshaft is going to have to run through what used to be the cabin and back seats....that thing is going to be awesome...you need to make up your own chassis code for it lol

[SLVR Stealth]

Seriously, it's like a Monster Garage build. Can't wait to see it completed inside & out.

[timm3r]

did they just start that project a couple months ago? it seems like this project is going to take a very long time to finish seeing how much custom work has to go into this. I see a lot of problems just fitting that engine into the tiny engine compartment of a zzt chasis and getting that tranny and differential in.

[wtcnbrwndo4u]

This is definitely gonna take a while! It'll look great afterwards.

[TRD_Celica00]

damn the pics dont work for me

[jlitman]

wow...the driveshaft is going to have to run through what used to be the cabin and back seats....that thing is going to be awesome...you need to make up your own chassis code for it lol

[TRlPPlN]

ill send him 20 bucks to hurry up and finish. :gap: i want to see this beast already.

[lowredcruzr]

the car is about a month away from being finished minus the fuel management system so it will be breathing soon.

[elcelicagts]

so i take it this will be the celica from the states to beat the PR celica or the Euro celica projects?

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

mmmm....bracing....

[lowredcruzr]

yes and i will need it

[02celica]

haha uh wow you could say alot of bracing but i still dont think that would explain how much you got. **** thats alot of bracing!

[jlitman]

Just wait until you see the suspension set-up Justin is assembling for this beast ;)

[omabramo]

i cant wait for the results
:wiggle:

[lowredcruzr]

new toys have come in, today i got home and my turbo manifold has arrived, the intercooler, the IC piping. now i'm waiting for the intake manifold to show up. so many goodies so little time

:AF: Well, I'll certainly be back with my camera over the weekend!

[Shizuma]

...so I think you need to get some of those old Celica Supra badges...since that's what the car is.......when people ask you about them, you can say you were being nostalgic :gap:

[evil eye]

Wow, that is a lot of bracing indeed. Keep it coming. :)

[lowredcruzr]

as far as the badges i have one already :)

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

so many goodies so little time


I wish I had problems like that... :wtc:

[elcelicagts]

as far as the badges i have one already :)



i wouldnt be suprised if you slapped on a (1.8 L) badge on the car, just to piss people off when you fly by them.

[jlitman]

That would be misleading ;)

I keep pushing for something like this:

ZZT-666

:headbang:

But I like the Celica Supra Badging too :)

[lowredcruzr]

i'm open to names for the cars so feel free to throw out some chassis names so far jordan has ZZT-666

[Shizuma]

Mark V

[lpphreakx06]

Nice. Would that add a lot of weight? Not that it matters :) lol

[Punkers7465]

hahaha chassis flex definately wont be a problem. cannot wait to see this thing when it's finished!

[trdnerd]

:thumbup: Great ****.

[elcelicagts]

zzt-666 = :gay:


1.8 L vvti

celica gts are the only badges to be on that thing. along with that japanese badge that says your a beginer driver. i think its green and yellow.

[As a Weapon]

^What the hell? I kind of like the Supra Celica Badge idea.

[Shizuma]

he already said he'd chosen the badging he wants...he was referring to a new chassis code (just for ****s and giggles, the gts's is the zzt231, the 6th gen is the st204, and so on and so forth)...technically the chassis is still the celica's, it's the drivetrain that's changed, so I would go with something like zzt64 (the Celica Supra was the RA64)

[Shizuma]

A Celica Supra badge btw

[TRD-CELICA-GT02]

man I can't wait to see this finished! I see great progress from the first few posts.

[robare99]

the only thing to me is that the widebody is so extreme it looks kinda like a dually truck. It will be sweet to see that monster done!!!

[lowredcruzr]

yeah she is kinda wide but trust me when she is sitting on the ground with the 18x13's tucked up the back it will all be ok

[jlitman]

zzt-666 = :gay:


1.8 L vvti

celica gts are the only badges to be on that thing. along with that japanese badge that says your a beginer driver. i think its green and yellow.

Why would anyone claim to have a 1.8 engine when they don't. Also, I'm not sure if that motor has vvti, but I don't think so.

And, yeah, nothing could be less gay than a little green and yellow heart shaped, beginning driver sticker that means abolutely nothing to anyone outside of Japan except for ricers in the US. Thats waaaay cooler than the number of the beast :rolleyes:

Anyway, he's badging it as a Celica Supra, and that's what this car would be if it were built by Toyota.

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

the gts's is the zzt231, the 6th gen is the st204, and so on and so forth...technically the chassis is still the celica's, it's the drivetrain that's changed, so I would go with something like zzt64 (the Celica Supra was the RA64)


This is the only chassis code that has made sence to me so far. Either this or RA231...

[wtcnbrwndo4u]

Is the frame getting a repaint after all the welding and stuff is done? It doesn't really look too show-worthy yet (minus the gold bodykit...).

[silverCELICAgt-s]

wish my camera wasnt broken.... :(

where did you get that hood? and how is fitment
:gap:

[02celica]

gah why is that engine soo sexy!?!? lol very nice lookin cant wait to see it done.. but **** by the time its done ill be driving x_x

[wtcnbrwndo4u]

where did you get that hood? and how is fitment
:gap:
I totally missed that hood...

[lowredcruzr]

the hood is a one off hood that was made for me a few years ago. i posted a thread back in 03 trying to see if ppl were interested in buying they everyone said they were to aggressive so they never went into production i have the only one ever made the fitment is near perfect. as far as 02celica driving before its finished i hope your getting your licenes soon b/c i'm about a month or so away from having it done.

[02celica]

haha alrighty maybe i ownt be able to then :-p but still it seems like this thing is taking forever to get done! do you plan on putting in a system and all taht or no?

[lowredcruzr]

no system maybe a radio and some door speakers but that will be it no I.C.E. the reason this is taking to long is i have a kid on the way i'm buying a house and every piece for this car has to be custom built but everything is is there and going in day by day, the gf hates me right now b/c i'm never home i work 5 days a week when i get off i go to the shop and work on the car then on the weekends i'm at the shop working on the car i'm just a one man show with the help i can squeez out of my friend mike when he's not fighting with his girl

[yello2k3]

wowwowowowowowow thats all I have to say...Now the celica is finally a complete car, motor asthetics handling....Awesome dude I want to do this when I'm out of school and have a job..hah I may come to you after you have it out and ownin the streets

[lowredcruzr]

let me know i'm down for another celica to work on. when this is done i have plans for another celica project only difference is the out side will look stock :)

[02celica]

no system maybe a radio and some door speakers but that will be it no I.C.E. the reason this is taking to long is i have a kid on the way i'm buying a house and every piece for this car has to be custom built but everything is is there and going in day by day, the gf hates me right now b/c i'm never home i work 5 days a week when i get off i go to the shop and work on the car then on the weekends i'm at the shop working on the car i'm just a one man show with the help i can squeez out of my friend mike when he's not fighting with his girl

I figured as much with all the money your putting into the engine and ****.. lol. But damn dude all this work by yourself!? thats nuts!

[robare99]

You are right it will probably look SOOO badass when its done, hell it will BE soooooo badass.

For those vent holes at the back have you thought about maybe some louvers like those fan things on the "look a new supra" lexus concept car???

[lowredcruzr]

i've got it all covered this was 2 years in planning and about 7 months into the build now. i thought about doing a system but i just dont care any more about loud systems or the flashy fiberglass work. i built my old system and it was beautiful but this car is more race inspired so a big system just wouldn't work

[Shizuma]

[lowredcruzr]

i'd like to but its nice owning the only one :)

[Shizuma]

:fawk: lol, it's looking good though

[evil eye]

That hood looks like mine on steroids. :AF: Good stuff.

[lowredcruzr]

i should have some new pics first of the week

[Sultan]

sweet - these preview pics are tantalizing... you should archive everything and post a "making of" thread upon completion of the project

[jeetee-ess]

oh dear :AF:. can't wait to see what your car can do on the streets. don't forget the vids :D

[lowredcruzr]

i need to buy a digi video cam. i'm slacking

[Shizuma]

...you need to make more hoods :sadpace:

lol, what'd you get done today?

[lowredcruzr]

i've been smoothing out the engine bay i've welded all the holes up and smoothed them out and starting the primer on tomorrow, the rear of the car is finished except for the mount for the new shocks i may work on that tomorrow also we will see how the day goes. Also i bought a motor cycle table today so i could do some general work on my bike and my girls bike it just makes my life easier. And sorry no hood extra hoods were made today. I'll just sell you that one for a huge price lol j/k thats my pride and joy

[Shizuma]

Nah, I just bought one actually but I did find some REALLY old threads where you were discussing it (too bad it was before my time, I might've picked one up)...are you keeping the suspension geometry similar to what was stock for the rear or are you changing it to mirror the Supra's?

[jlitman]

Whoa! I'll bring my camera tomorrow!

[lowredcruzr]

[Shizuma]

weight reduction was limiting him to one speaker... he didnt want to go the headphones route. lol, i noticed that when i was there, i was like y do u still have one speaker in, he had forgot to take it out and for now while its being worked on it keeping it installed as a in progress momento.

[Shizuma]

cam cover's a nice touch

[wtcnbrwndo4u]

[lowredcruzr]

[lowredcruzr]

[celica_2nr]

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

Good lord Justin, I cannot even fathom how badass this thing is going to be when it's done... :faint:

[MyCelicaYouNV]

its an 05 mustang cobra IRS

I thought the cobra came out in 07?

Unless you mean 03-04 cobra IRS

[lowredcruzr]

could be an 04

[SpecBLUEgts]

:chuckles: its my bitch

[GSBoek]

Justin, in keeping in line with the Toyota tradition of engine-chassis code, maybe you should start thinking about JZT instead of ZZT for the new code. If anything the J will also match your name. Heck the JZT could even stand for Justin

JZT-232 maybe? :gap:

[lowredcruzr]

i like the jzt

[vOnz]

this is jsut tooo crazy!

[johnmauser]

Justin,
I've been following your progress on the car. Remember back like 6 years ago when you had just gotten it, slapped on the white konig rims and vinyl lettering? What a transformation, proud of you dude, can't wait to see it finished.
John Mauser from NC

[lowredcruzr]

john wow how ya been if you see this pm me your number
