Its a battery triangle. Used to mark the location of the battery for track days in case marshals need to disconnect it.

I've had a few Supra projects over the years. About 8 or 9, all MKIVs. BPU, BPU+, BPU++, APU. But no crazy 3.4 strokers... .

They've been Stock Autos, BoostLogic Autos, and V160s, so I have experienced all the transmissions too!

Currents are a 97 RR MKIV TT 6-Spd with 85k miles (For Sale btw) and a 93 White BL Auto Single Turbo. Both are excellent fun!

^ We've just been posting pics of our own cars, I think. I would Love an original Celica in that shape.

Nope they're series 2 JDM wheels. Different to what you got in the US maybe.

I ended up having to sell my 2000 Celica GT-S last year after I got t-boned by an old lady trying to force her way out of an apartment complex. I would have fixed it if I didn't need the money to pay rent after losing my job (the owner of the business retired and closed up shop rather than pass it over to someone else.) I'm gonna have to see if I can track down some pictures of it.

Ahhh... Yeah, we don't have those center caps...

That's interesting though... I never knew there was a Series 2 Wheel...

I just bought a '93 Celica GT 5spd 'vert to fix and flip, in order to put together a bigger down payment on a BRZ. 112k miles, picked it up for $500 - needs a clutch and a good solid cleaning! Hope to have it listed for sale by the end of the month



Not a Celica, but as far as old-school Toyotas go, you can be certain there's no way in hell I'm getting rid of my MR2!!
