QUOTE (95celgt @ Mar 10, 2009 - 12:33 PM)  Nice vert!!! but i noticed it had a front hit and the bumper was changed to a 94 bumper...... As for the gas milage, maybe you drive your hatch more agressive, shift at a higher rpm, needs a tune up??? alot of things will make your mpg change drastically. previous owner had an accident and replaced the hood, bumper and right fender with parts from another Celica.. Will get a tune up soon. Not sure when the last one was done. Boyfriend says the same thing..says I drive it too aggressively and shift at too high rpm. Guess I need to chill out on my driving a little. Thanks! Amy |

QUOTE (axelrduvirage @ Mar 10, 2009 - 8:02 AM) greetings from another "mature" 6gc owner. last spring i put Tein S-tech springs and KYB GR2 struts, i also went with a 17" replacement wheel and 215/40 tyres. what a difference it made. although the ride is a little stiffer and the car a little lower, i feel better contact with the road. i feel more confident in turns. your profile says you were looking for a "fun" car, something you drive for sheer pleasure. these are not powerful vehicles but they sure are fun to throw around a windy road. making these changes to your suspension will definitely increase your driving pleasure, regardless of which setup you choose. PS we should start a 40+ club in the 6gc.  Yeah! Who says kids get to have all the fun! I just ordered new wheels for car, new shocks(KYB GR2), still deciding which springs(I'll prolly go with Tein), and need to decide which tires. I got 17's and plan on 225/45 for tires. I'm a chick, I need a little cushion for the tushie.... Now here's the thing I cannot figure out. I have 2 '98's. A Convertible, AT and Hatchback, 5 sp. Why am I getting better gas mileage with the AT Conv than I am in the 5 sp Hatch?? Thanks!! Amy |

So, I'm finally starting to spend some money on my car and first up is springs & shocks. Need some opinions from you wise ones out there. Do you have a preference between Tein S-techs vs SpringTech?? What's your experience?? Thanks all! Amy 98 GT Hatchback (and 98 Convertible I'm looking to sell if anyone's interested!) |

I just recently replaced my stereo and speakers in my '98 conv. First off, I'm 42, so I'm wasnt looking for a system that you could hear coming from a mile away or anything that would take up my whole trunk or rattle the hell out of my car. I wanted a nice sounding system that would give me the volume when I wanted it, but didnt require any visual changes/mods of the car. I originally ordered 6 1/2's for the door speakers, but once my boyfriend took the door off, he was not satisfied with putting 6's in an 8" opening. He could've fabricated a mount as well, but we went looking for an alternative instead. He hated the thought of wasting an 8" opening with 6's. So here's what we ended up with. I was unable to find full range car speakers in 8". So we got some 8" Pioneer Marine Speakers. Of course when we ordered them, we thought "they'll just pop right in, easy peasy"...not the case. Because they are marine speakers, the grill, the tweeter, everything is all encased and sealed to be waterproof. 6 hours later.... he dismantled the speakers completely. Put the speaker in the 8" opening, was able to fit the tweeter into the stock tweeter location, rewired the speakers back together, added some 3.5 Pioneers in the smaller opening(my Celica has 3 speakers in door) and voila!, I now have a system that I love!
