I purchased this car from a used car dealership in an adjacent town. I remember saying out loud “I’m not going to do anything to it”. I slowly but surely abandoned that statement! I started out with the basic traditional mods: CAI, Header, ZEX wet nitrous kit, and exhaust. This just didn’t do it for me. So forced induction was the only option next in line for me. I started out with, lets just say a very unpopular turbo kit that caused a lot of frustrating nights in the garage. I later found out about Monkey wrench racing. I gave them a call and they literally help me get my Celica up and running. Matt and Gary from Monkey Wrench Racing have been a creative and resourceful extension.

New set up is currently in the building stages: here is a list of the new mods
The car started out with a automatic tranny and its been ripped out and replaced with a GTS 6 speed tranny. The car is just about complete, once it is I will send dyno videos and new pics. Thanks to the guys at Monkey Wrench for there hard work and dedication to the 1zz and 2zz platform. I have known these guys for about 3 years now and they have been a great help!
