QUOTE (ricochet1490 @ May 11, 2013 - 8:41 PM)  What condition is the car in? Did the airbags deploy? Fender bender? Did the insurance total the car? At 120k miles I wouldn't rebuild a dang thing on that 5s. It's just getting broken in. This is a perfect case of don't fix it if it ain't broke. I hit a deer in mine and rebuilt most of the front end. Thought about doing the work you are talking about right now at that point and that's when I got involved in this forum. I was on here all the time looking for ideas for performance upgrades since I had the car apart anyway.... But because it was a salvage title car, doing all that work to a car with a salvage title would have hurt me in the long run. I just ended up fixing it and I still drive it daily. I satisfied my performance needs by buying a clean title shell and made a RHD Beams swapped car instead. So, long story short, I can't make recommendations about what to replace if I don't know what is currently broken. I bought another parts car to fix mine (picked it up for $400) Good luck No they didnt deploy and they didnt total it i just messed up my driverside front fender and the frame it bolts to the hood and the bumper also the head light |

Ok a while back i wrecked my celica and i have recently decided i want my baby back and im full of questions i was wondering if my goal was to get my car as close to being in perfect condition as possible what would be best as far as money and overall benefit a swap or rebuilding my current engine with 120k give or take a few also what part would your guys suggest i replace just because? Also in the future i wanna turbo charge it but not until my car is in the best possible shape it can be in so if there is anything. I should just go head and replace now that would benefit my turbo in the future and be fine now without it please let me know .. |
