My project car is a Celica ST182. It's a wide body from 1991.

The original 2.0l 3SGE engine will be replaced by a JAP Spec 3SGTE. This engine is completely rebuilded.

Engine mods:
- Unorthodox underdrive pulley
- ARC top mount intercooler
- HKS spark plugs
- Greddy BOV
- Aussie downpipe
- New CT26 turbo
- Samco hoses
Misc. Mods:
- Greddy turbo timer
- Greddy boost controller
- Greddy oil catch tank
- Greddy radiator cap
- Greddy oil cap
- Greddy oil temp. gauge
- Greddy boost gauge
- Greddy oil pressure gauge
- Lotek A pillar
- Whiteline sway bars

The car gets a new paint job ( Toyota champagne 4N3 color code )
They already did the engine bay last week.

When you're interrested there are more pics on my temporary website http://www.celica3sgte.nl

A friend of mine told me about Toymods. He's a member as well of the forum. He did a ST162 celica project. Also an engine swap, bodywork ect ect.... Mabye you've seen his homepage before. It's http://www.tccn.nl/st162 The update list is temporary unavaible but I don't think it will take to long.
I'm also a member of the dutch celica club http://www.tccn.nl
The main reason why I became a member of the Toymods forum is the much higher level of knowledge and the many car project they are doing in your country. Also the tuning level of Japanese cars is very low in The Netherlands. The JDM parts are expensive and there aren't big shops with stock so a few people will buy it .

I know this isn't a Honda forums here, but I like that Prelude a lot.
My brother has one, but that's a 5th gen I think.
Is Chris a friend of yours?

If you compare Australia with my country it's really small 
You don't see Supra's often. The car is very rare in the Netherlands. If you wanna buy one the best thing to do is to go to England and buy a RHD Supra. Buy the way, I really like your Supra
Chris is a friend of mine. We're sharing a garage. The prelude project is insane You have to put a lot of time and money in the project but we know it's going to be the most wonderful third gen prelude in my country.
For example;
He bought this ''parts car'' because he needed the sideskirts.
But did you like the Netherlands? Did you visit Amsterdam?
