What we have here is a 6th gen Toyota Celica GT. You don't see many of these around, especially one in this condition. Although the AWD all-trac model never came into the U.S, there is still a few others 6th gen Celica that were able to come here. Most of the ones we've seen are rusty and daily driven by teenagers, but this one is different. It has a 3rd gen 3sgte mr2 swap, and mulitple mods that are tastefully done to it. Tao Thao have this car for more than 14 years since his first daughter was born, and still ongoing today. This car is self-built by the owner, and it takes a lot of pride to do this type of work to a Celica! A lot of Celica owners have gaved up on projects like this, but Tao is one of the few who were able to finish it. And as you haven't notice, this thing is a monster on the street once it's awake! A lot of the times when you see a Celica, you might be thinking it's not anything serious. But this one have a 3sgte swap and sweet punch of 440whp/390wtq to back it up from others!




Here is some of the main specs:
3rd gen 3sgte mr2
Precision 50 trim turbo on 27 PSI
Front mount intercooler with 3 inch piping
Pistons
272/272 cams
1200cc injectors
Tenzo 3 inch full exhaust
Megan Street coilovers
Big brakes upgrade
Xxr 530
Falken street tires
Etc...
Dynoed: 440whp/390wtq
