    - new everything (minus the dash) 220,000Mi
    - new everything again including the dash 235000mi

    Modifications all done at 220000Mi: updated at 225000miles updated at 235000mi
    Body Parts:
    Aeroform Celica GE Ground Effects (now discontinued) - not a fan of the bone stock body
    ddmtuning hid in autopal housings - everything was too dim
    Custom Body Molding, Hood with Scoop and Cut Outs, Front Tow Hook, Hybrid Grill - to enhance the effect of the body modification and make them look good and more practical
    Summit Racing SS Hood Pins - necessary evil
    Alltrac Tail Lights and Euro Spec Corner Lights - love the look
    Team Prototype Fender Flares - needed to help repair the f'ed corners on the car. i wish they werer not so big and i did get the smallest pair
    Trico NeoForm Wiper - because it doesn't streak and it stays on the window over 110mph
    Deleted: Antenna, Rear Wiper, Rear Squirter, Third Brake Light, Hood Hinges, Interior - unneeded weight
    Nason Paint - single stage, easy to work with, nice colors
    All other vynal by Kevin - 87celicagt - cause he is the man!

    Wheels:
    MB Wheels Five X 15x7 with 205/50r15 Nitto NT-01 front - lightweight wheels with a taller competition tire for grip
    MB Wheels Five X 16x7 with 205/40r16 Nitto Neogen rear - nice grippy tire with a good wear pattern for the rear
    Gorilla Spline Drive Lightweight Lug Nuts - keeping the weight down

    Performance parts:
    Custom Powdercoating by Chris - Csnyder - because i hate rust
    Engine:
    Toysport JDM 1st gen 3S-GTE (backup) - the first turbo motor, worked great no big issues but at it's limits, currently in mikes car
    USDM 1st gen 3S-GTE Block (drag) Polished, 87mm Bore, Decked Top, Line Honed by Bill Coleman of Coleman Racing - big money, full bore, unbreakable
    Cometic 1.2mm Head Gasket - had to go a little thicker to assist in lowering compression and reliable steel that won't break
    Balanced Arias Forged Pistons, Turbo Ring Set - best pistons for the application
    Balanced Eagle ESP Connecting Rods, Hardened Wrist Pins, Gapless Pin Rings - simple, reliable, not horribly expensive
    ARP Head Studs, Main Studs, Flywheel Bolts, Rod Bolts - because a broken bolt is a bad thing
    Paradise Racing Pressure Plate Bolts - cheaper and better than ARP
    JDM Gen 1 GE Cylinder Head w/ Polished Combustion Chambers, Ported/Polished Exhaust Ports - GE because is looks like a stronger mold, polished to run more timing, ported to make more power
    Toyota Echo Shimless Bucket Conversion - lighter valvetrain and no shims to lose
    ACL Trimetal Race Bearings - only the best
    Fidanza Adjustable Cam Gears - for more power when i get to that point

    Valvoline 20w-50 Racing Oil - the only oil available with zinc and phosphorus
    Speed-Source Poly Motor Mounts, Aluminum Crossmember Bushings, Oil Sensor Block Off Plate - necessary evil but amazing products
    Koyo ST205 Radiator - because they did not make a 4th gen model and plastic sucks
    Derale Power Steering Cooler - because stock honestly does suck
    Dual Proform Pusher Fans - turbo is too big to use stock
    Race Basics Expansion Tank, 24PSI Radiator Cap, Overflow Tank - i had to relocate so why not upgrade

    Custom 3" SS Side Exit Exhaust, 3" Downpipe - shortest route and close to the largest pipe i can fit
