here are a few pics of the st 205 wrc car my brothers working on as a fun project
the engine is going to be pulled at some time and rebuilt to make about 400 hp
all the stickers we made ourselves and spent hours fitting

over the winter we are off to do the top end on the st185 we have and also sticker it up in castrol stickers
hope you like it.

Hey there, ST205 Castrol buddy. Here's mine:



Raise your suspension a bit though dude, it's a bit low - wouldn't be much cop on a rally circuit with suspension that low, I daresay wink

yes

The front arch looks especially naff with it being that low IMO.

EDIT: That does sound a bit negative. For the record, the rest of it looks superb smile

Looks awesome, don't de-sticker it, the Toyota rally livery is ace. It does need a raise though, half an inch front and back should do it, just to take away the dub "slammed" look.

Agreed, it'l look better and purposeful when it's raised up a little more.

Looks stunning though, love the castrol livery and I always loved the rally celicas.

Rarely comment on these threads. Even more rarely comment positively. But that does look excellent. Except it's too low, looks chavtacular. No genuine fast Celica would be that low so I instantly think it's style over substance.
Just IMHO though. My car sits too high so what do I know.

Nice looking car.

The WRC's sit a couple of inches higher, I think if you drove that around the roads here in Wiltshire you'd leave a groove in the road and a big hole in your wallet..... smile

Anyway here's mine...... 94' WRC in "The" livery......

Think this overall looks better but the alloys from the above car would be more appropriate maybe?
