Hi guys,
Been a long time since ive had chance to get on NC, this is our on going race car build that will hopefully be finished one day.

From the start of its life as a 140 8 years ago to how she sits now days:



conversion and greddy sc install











Soon got board of the greddy sc kit, and after we had done a few rotrex sc installs i pulled out the greddy and installed our own SC kit and some TRD brakes



Used the car for about 6months and start stripping all down again





Sent the car away to get a FIA approved roll cage designed and welded in and started ordering parts

















Car got back to me with a cage installed







Worked harder and got some cash together to start spending again







Got fed up with not having a celica so got this little beaut, the only white UK spec car to hit here, it was a special order





then it was back to spending again





REAL ONES, Not fake crap


new liners made to test


AP Racing Clutch




2.0L stroker kit, low comp






Got a new work shop, so put 1000 miles on the engine and then stripped it back down the check out the liners and everything else













AP Racing is only 5mins away from our little workshop so worked with them guys on 4 pot and 6 pot front brakes





Just dropping the car on the jig so we can spin her over





Then we had a aero guy work on the body of the car runing it on sims on the computer to get a good package together



got the 4WD gearbox mounted onto a mock built 2zz and test fitted into the car





Getting the rear diff sorted out and measured up so we can start making all the brackets and a new mount for it



finally got our 2 pot rear AP Racing brakes sorted and to us



Most of the fuel system is there just waiting for the main pump to get to us






Long road ahead still got shit loads to do and no time to do it

The adjustments are on the wing brackets BUT that said if more was needed a quick change to the cad file so it could be made with an adjustable rod in there.

We made some moulds for carbon doors, this was the first one pulled out just to check fitment, the final finshed product is much better


The clay moulding has now finished and we have pulled the first FG kit out, again we are just testing the kit for fitment, then we need to polish all the moulds and start pulling front, rear bumper, front wings and side skirts out in carbon. few pictures as the moulding was bring done:




Next up will be making the dive plates, bardge boards, front splitter and rear diffuser.
Loads to get on with and 2 cars to build before march lol

test fitting rear arch, side skirts:





This has taken longer that expected, but after making changes and a few different moulds we are'nt miles away, this is a few shots of the first pull of the final moulds (moulds wasnt polished when this got pulled)

Glad you like it guys, its been a nightmare to get sorted but im sure it'll be worth it.



Did you get you car sorted out in the end mate ?

Ill have the moulds to make more, maybe be a bit ott for the road :shrugs: problem is you would have to run the diffusers, bardge boards, a wing and wide wheels to pull it off i think mate

I can tell you now that this car is STILL ongoing but Se7en have been incredibly busy with another racecar and work. They're currently coming to the conclusion of a Toyota Corolla (Matrix) build. Once that car has been finished and is running in Time Attack there will be room and time for the Celica to be completed.

The corolla is being built for the European Time Attack Masters but we do hope to run it in the UK championship before that to get some testing in, then it will be sold next year for someone else to enjoy, we have built it as a bit of fun and to see how well one will go on track.

The celicas will run in everything we can afford to make it to :)
