Project Celaru STi

[Girodisc]

So the day has finally come. I have 41 pics of Celaru goodness for you and I will be posting them all. So after just under 5yrs from the idea of craziest thing being thought up and then 4yrs of working on and off.

1yr of fab work by stripping an STi to bare steel and cutting the top off. Then stripping a Celica down to bare metal and cutting the floor out while braced and sitting on a lift. Then putting the front part of the STi on an old 1930s hospital bed and setting it into place by lowering the Celica down on to it. Then spending literally 2 days measuring and checking and setting to make sure it was set square into the Celica. Tacking it into place and then doing the same with the rear frame rails. Then about 2-3 months of welding then pieces together and seam welding the underside checking the car again and again to make sure it wasn't warping from the welding.

Then about 2yrs it sat while we collected parts and let the hype die down because word of the project leaked out and there were people asking questions and of course speculating that I was in idiot and I ruined 2 cars etc...

And finally what you have seen over the last year and few months. The assembly of the car once the welding was finished. From assembling an Engine, to fabricating a fuel system, exhaust, intercooler, and many other parts completely from scratch. Modifying a Wiring harness, re-doing the brakes, and upgrading almost every part to be able to handle the type of power this thing was going to produce. All while fooling you all it was a Subaru... Its been a long road. Not continuous there have been many other things I have done along side this but after 4 years I am finished with it. I can finally stop saying "I should be working on the Celaru". I can finally go to sleep with out spending many nights awake thinking of a way to make or install something for it. Finally I will be able to put a car that I own on my lift after 2 years.

So here it is the finished Celaru. Now I know its not totally finished but my work is done. It is ready to be tuned as soon as it gets a driveshaft.

Johann @ Girodisc

[Ervino]

cant wait to see this painted :drool:
congrats :headbang:

[ajh1717]

Any dyno's?

[Girodisc]

Reading helps....

The car is off getting the drive shaft made and then its going to Maxwell for tuning. I am sure the owner will post up numbers when they become available.

Johann @ Girodisc

[alpha Q]

that's a pretty good vert you got there...good job on the car too btw, haha

[nic0]

too much wheels gap. =p

[2NDchnceCELI]

OH MY JESUS!:drool: congrats and job WELL done....so can my car be next? :laugh: yeah riiiiight!

[blacktsport]

Wow, it's trurned out incredibly well. I love the rear deck and rear quarters, looks like some kind of exotic, supercar almost, it wouldn't be out of place alongside a Lambo or Ferrari. I can't wait to see this reach completion. Huge pat on the back for seeing it through Johann and good luck with all your future projects.

[breakablecookie]

03+ tails and some HID OEM headlights and that car is complete!

[Nlkko]

Congrats! :bowdown::bowdown:

[tgp4eva]

damn dude you should be on a bball court and damn the celaru looks badass can not wait to see some color on it

[7th Gen]

sh*ts schweeet!!!

[kortik]

so Dominic is going to tune your car?

I went there to check it out he wants $400+ to tune my 2zz turbo matrix.
but I am waiting for Redliner9k to come and tune in March 11-13.

let us know when you going up there I might come check it out the tune it would be nice to see

[vegeta4ss]

wow. it all came together quite nicely. very good job.

[xCaldazar]

Still not headlights in it?

[lilmexicanoboi]

FINALLY!!! congrats, brotha! cant wait until it gets painted and dyno'd. i also cant wait to see it in person!

you are truly my idol... no lie. :bowdown:

[1d0_2ZZ]

congrats!!! Its a beast!! :thumbup:

[mrfunny107]

Wow that thing is going to be sweet. Kind of reminds me of a Fensport Celica. Looks amazing compared to that one dude who attempted to put a half azzed supra body in the ricer thread post.

Congrats, and may your winnings be plentiful.

[vindiCAtor]

This is outstanding, great job!!

[youngxlos]

congrats!!!!!!!
second person to actually finish swapping a non 2zz into a Celica.

[Entranced]

Just awesome man. The view from the rear quarter pannels almost makes it look like a mini LFA!


can't wait to see it in paint to see how that rear hatch area came out.


Can you post some more pics of the fab work you had to do for the body? maybe some shots from under the car when it was on the lift?

[Girodisc]

I didn't take any pics of the chassis welding because its a secret I'd like to keep to myself. All the underside pics I have are posted. Now that its off my it won;t get another chance until it goes on another.

So bit of an update...

So I thought this car was out of my hands for good but it looks like I am going to be paid to finish making the driveshaft dummy so ACPT can make a custom shaft. I'll be modifying a Stock shaft so I'll have pics of that for ya next week sometime.

Johann @ Girodisc

[jasonc624]

Bro, you deserve a cookie or something.

[Shizuma]

Looks great. I give your shop jump an 8.2/10 .

[bman365]

Congrats on finishing it, it looks amazing.

I've seen a rear deck like that one other time, but could never find the picture again.

congrats!!!!!!!
second person to actually finish swapping a non 2zz into a Celica.

3s-gte has been done a couple times.

[Nlkko]

I hope this thing will be kept in good hands all its life..

fvcking legit! :headbang:

[mrluilou]

amazing work and congrats on your achievement !

[xCraZyEddiEx]

what color will it be? same as before??

[jlitman]

Amazing, radical build -- wow! Congrats :applaud:

Will the rear deck just get a small lexan window?

Someone needs to photoshop it into a solid color with some headlights -- I want to see what it will look like.

[celicayounggun]

Someone needs to photoshop it into a solid color with some headlights -- I want to see what it will look like.

x2 im decent on photoshop but not too good.

[lilmexicanoboi]

when is it going to head off to paint? i would wait on the photoshop. itll make the outcome THAT much more surprising ;)

[Joey03_VVT-I]

:headbang:-That's SofaKing Awesome!
Congrats on your hard work and I can't wait to see it 100% complete! :drool:

[R I C H I E]

Wow.... that thing looks sick like that already, now imagine when the paint is complete :drool:

Add some 03+ tails

[lowredcruzr]

2 thumbs up

[deercelica]

i believe i seen the 1st sti wagon on HIN seson before last

[youngxlos]

any updated pictures of the car painted?

[Amped]

that sucks a woman is going to be driving it. great build, enjoyed this entire thread.

$400 is cheap for Dominic.

that sucks a woman is going to be driving it. great build, enjoyed this entire thread.

:laugh: You don't even know the girl and are going to question her driving skills?

[Amped]

im not questioning her driving skills, Its just that this is kind of ironic that a subaru was extremely modified to appear as a celica, which as many of you know people call a chick's car. I appreciate the work for its uniqueness and its a great thing that has been done, but it just makes me a little upset when i realize it was done for a woman to make a car faster but keep its woman reputation. I dont actually even think the celica is a womens car... but allot of people do. That and the fact that the builder is really not getting anything of monetary value (its an ex girlfriend, it appears to be more on the side of a favor)... i get slightly upset because there was so much time and effort put into this car.

[kortik]

$400 is cheap for Dominic, what does that mean exactly?
does he charge an arm and a leg for subaruys and evos?

[Muirner]

i get slightly upset because there was so much time and effort put into this car.

It wasnt your time or effort... so who gives a $hit?

AHH but see, this is the internet.. im perfectly fine with no one agreeing with me, and im not going to start a flame war on this thread which most people have enjoyed reading. People hate seeing arguments just as much as they hate seeing a comment they dont like... its clear you dont give a ****.

You have the most pointless posts i have ever seen. I realize i'm being a douche.... but at least im saying my opinion. You never have anything good to say.... most of the time its a quote with a single period. You correct people on their grammar, yet you go and make mistakes on yours. You are not even a moderator, i really cannot figure out what is up your ass to make you think you "won" the internet. Your a person sitting behind a computer screen, just like everyone else. Instead of finding another childish way to insult me or anyone else, listen to what people have to tell you and stop being such a belligerent *******.

INB4 the clean up!
uhhh... umad bro.
umad because anything you build or attempt to build will never amount up to SexKitten's car.
Your pride is just hurt because shes a woman.

You just labeled yourself as a b**** :laugh:.

[1d0_2ZZ]

driving skills? psh who needs that. She just needs to be hot

[Amped]

mad? no she didnt even build the car, i feel bad for the guy who did because he isnt receiving enough for all that amazing work he did. Your right, i could never build anything like this. your the one calling me a bitch behind a computer, i hope you feel real tough "bro".

wait wait wait...I mean

[GSBoek]

What's wrong with a chick owning and driving the thing? Is she, because of gender, less deserving of the car? :shrugs:

[XBernie]

He feels as if he more deserving im guessing?
She makes her own money, i would think she deserves everything she paid for LOL

my pride is not hurt, i dont care at all about people who are arguing with me on an internet forum. I said what i wanted to say, so you and everyone else who has a problem with that "can gtfo". I have the right to have an opinion, so bitching and trying to look like a badass by flaming someone who speaks out really does not effect me at all. If you have such a problem with what i said, you are the one that should be leaving. I have done nothing wrong...so piss off.

[XBernie]

No ones bitching and no one is trying to be a "badass"
What is "badass" about defending gender equality?
Your logic makes for a childish argument.
Can you honestly tell one legitimate reason why SexKitten is less deserving of this car than any one else?
Nothing wrong? uhhh... I believe gender discrimination is definitely an issue here.

I do not think i should be the one leaving.
With in your 29 posts on nc.org i dont think you have contributed any knowledge to this forum, so if anything i have more of a right to be here than you do.

[bloodytiger]

I don't care who the hell is driving the car, when I grow up I want to be just like them :bowdown:

[CleanLinen]

Looks to be very unique, but I can't help but notice the rear windows shaved over and the hatch glass shrunk, making the car even more impossible to see out of. But I suppose it will be show only so that won't make a difference. Can't wait to see it painted and shined up!

[Shizuma]

Quit the b!tching in this thread or else.

[CleanLinen]

B!tching? I don't see any, maybe obervations, but certainly no b!tching.

I WANNA SEE IT DONE ALREADY!!! :furious:

[blacktsport]

:werd: Pics please, for those of us that won't ever get to see the Mag it features in.

[CleanLinen]

Any recent developments???????

[Girodisc]

Yeah.... Its been a while since I checked up on this thread or any of the other ones for that matter. I have no idea whats going on with the car or if it even has a driveshaft yet. Last time I saw it or spoke with Erin was the day I made the dummy shaft so I am betting nothing has been done to it since. In all honesty I am thinking its about a 10% chance that this car will get finished this year, and about a 40% it will get finished at all. She got the deal of a lifetime for the work I did but she still has a long way to go and now its going to cost her big bucks since I am no longer working on it.

Drieshaft
Tuning
Body Work
Interior Work
System (if one is going in)
Alarm (she's gonna need one)
Alignment/ Corner Balancing
Paint etc...

I'd say she is easily 7-9K away from the end goal of having this car tuning and painted driving down the road. Its a cool car but I have moved onto brighter and better things. Just got my Lego all finished and its waiting to get tuned and my new GF just got a 2000 Impreza RS so the BF bennies can begin again haha.

I am sure once she gets something to update about that this will be the first place she posts unless, you guys keep filling this thread with **** about a girl not being deserving or whatever.... You want to talk about the owner deserving this car then post something up in the OT section and leave this thread to the car...

Johann @ Girodisc

[jin602_05]

Damn! All that work... :(

[bt216]

these always turn out the same way.

[deercelica]

I would have done some things different. But none the less a sick ride, and lots of talent.

I will say the drivers side seat looks tilted in some pics. hope it gets finished :(

[1d0_2ZZ]

wonder how much she'll sell it for

[bt216]

+1 :eatpop:

[mrfunny107]

so close:eek:

[celicayounggun]

+1 :eatpop:

buy it! i know you want to

[bt216]

^I need a price first.

[Girodisc]

She offered it to me for 40k. I respectfully declined. I didn't have the money nor do I have the desire to own it. Its a bit to much car for what I am into these days.

Johann @ Girodisc

[bt216]

$40k!?! :laugh: shes a little off.

[1d0_2ZZ]

shes a little off.

just a bit :chuckles:

[bt216]

If that car was finished she would be lucky to get $40k. In it's current condition it's worth about 10k IMO

[1d0_2ZZ]

That is what i was pricing it at. Girodisc said it would probably still take like 10k to finish it completely. Definitely wouldn't pay 40k for something that needs that much money invested into it still. Even if it is that rare lol.

[Girodisc]

Yeah that's kinda of the difference with most and Celica guys. The donor STi was 9500 alone, not to mention there is almost 10K in the engine and assembly work alone. Offering her 10K is a joke. The suspension is fully modded to the price of 6-7K and the wheels and tires an additional 4K, That's not including the APR Kit, the Celica itself, and the thousands of little parts needed to complete this car (exhaust, intercooler system, fuel etc). The Celica is a cheap crappy car imo so naturally you would think the car wouldn't be worth much in none running for and its also know that you would never get the labor rate our of the car nore would you even come close to whats been put in it. However this is not a Celica anymore, its an STi so it would be sold as an STi. There is more custom one off stuff in this car then most and the price to make custom stuff to handle that kind of power is not the same as some cheap little Celica bolt-on part. It may not be finished but I would say this car would part out for close to 40K on its own since everything in it is pretty much brand new so 10K for a 1 of 1 car that has this much power finished or not is laughable. Maybe its just my pride talking but if she tried to sell that car in is current state for anything less then 30K then there would be some words... If she sold it at all in its current state instead of parting out in the beginning and wasting over a year of my time then there would be some recourse for sure let me tell you.

If she sold it at all in its current state instead of parting out in the beginning and wasting over a year of my time then there would be some recourse for sure let me tell you.

Let me preface the following comments with this: I fully believe that the owner might have spent $40K on the car. That being said:

Value wise the whole is almost always worth far less than the sum of its parts, and you will NEVER recoup your investment unless you are building on a platform that is rare. That car is a total basket case right now. $10K is actually fair IMO considerign we don't know you from adam. It doesn't run and drive and it looks like ass. The owner would be much better off spending what it takes to finish the car, getting some magazine coverage, and then selling it.

[celicayounggun]

i think a large problem with it is there's no way for the buyer to know exactly what needs to be mechanically to get it ready, as its a 1 of car.

that being said, i do believe that 10k isn't reasonable, but 20k may be.

[Girodisc]

Ether way there is far more then 40k into this car I assure you. However I believe you would still loose out pretty bad even if she did finish it and then got all the mag coverage unless she found a guy that had to have it. I think the only way this car could recoup its value is is she use it to get sponsors for upgrading systems and selling off whats in it. Basically rebuilding the car with sponsor parts and selling what it was originally installed on it. Or possibly to get a name for yourself and to generate sponsors for new projects but since she didn't built it those don't really apply (to her at least). I would like her to get it done and finish it so at least I can see what it would done and use its numbers and exposure to further my name and reputation. For projects, this one its one of the best but I have crazier projects currently being worked on and planed.

That being said I hope she finds the time and money to finish it and get it out in the world for all to see. I have gotten all the use I can out of it for myself in its current state and seeing how she has neglected this thread from updates and its resorted to comments such as whether or not she is deserving of it and now its value this will be my last post regarding this car on this thread. I thank you all for for you kind words while the car was under going my portion of its creation and I hope for all our sakes she finishes it and its as insane as I originally envisioned it would be.

More!!

I'll update it for Johann from the Maxwell side of things, it's running currently and waiting to be picked up. The "custom" driveshaft turned out to be a stock length STi drive shaft, which is like 3 inches too short.

I do believe the car is waiting to be picked up since it's now running.

Heh so this will be, when finished, the world's fastest celica? If u may still call it that way :) Nice!

[evilthorne]

MWR has a 880whp drag celica. So I doubt this will be the fastest

[bt216]

^+1 plus its kind of hard to call it a celica. i mean there are tube framed "celica" dragsters that are run 6's...

Why? The last update I see is this:
