The Celica Project (ST2GT4)
Converting a FWD Coupe to the fun driving performance machine.  What is the ST2GT4 project?  View the Current Build of the project.

The listing below is categorized for your convenience. The list contains Do-It-Yourself articles on car modifications or product reviews. Because the car world is one of the most costly but gratifying hobbies I have ever embraced, every minor detail is accounted for on my project. For those who plan to stick with their 4AFE engine, I have developed a maintenance article containing parts, fluids, and routines on what to normally check and replace. Thank you for visiting. This section will continue to grow steadily.
