I suggest you do some research and read up on what parts are available for your celica, or cars in general for that matter. judging from the drift comment you seem to be rather misinformed. good luck

The Parts Data Base is the best for getting info on performance upgrades. Seems like your just naming parts without knowing if they are what you want. Maybe if you elaborate on what you want the car built for:
Acceleration, Handling, Top Speed, Making your engine bay pretty. |

[right][snapback]248938[/snapback][/right] Im breeding my car for acceleration and handling, hopefully to turn it to a street/rally car. street so i can get around but still have that off road fun in rally since the 96 RAC rally was won by a celica. but i just want input of wat others would suggest or prefer for this kind of project |

hey, sorry if I came off a little harsh before. I re-read my post and I came off as a bit of an ass, wasn't my intention. anyway I still suggest you get on the search function and start reading, the topics are all there you just gotta be creative enough to find them. good luck

I'm sorry to say that our cars have limited after market support. I'm not gonna say which products are ideal for street/rally mainly because im not fully knowledgable in those areas...but now that you posted what you want out of your car, maybe others can help. I guess the only other thing they might want to know is, What are you willing to spend to acheive that street/rally goal? Good luck and enjoy the site.

Umm. The 96 RAC rally was won by a Celica GT4. Although they have most of the same look as our cars, they've got different components inside. The most important of which is a turbocharged engine and all wheel drive.
http://www.ukmotorsport.com/networkq/1996/positions.html I'm really impressed you found a 96 with such low miles! Good luck with her! |

fwd drive is a good drivetrain for someone new to rally racing. if you want a sleek looking street car and a safe strong rally car, you should get coilovers (ride height adjustable) so you can lower your car for street and raise it to stock level to give you plenty of suspension travel. that should be good enough to start.
for the engine, it all depends on how much power you want. if you want a decent setup turbo your current engine, if you want hella power swap your current engine with a 3s-gte to give you a stronger platform to start from. both of these options cost a lot of money (2-6k). researching what i just told you should keep you busy for a while. |

[right][snapback]249109[/snapback][/right] thx, i was lookin into the coil overs and wasnt sure weither to get the ones that are adjustable or not, as for the engine, i dont plan on swapin the engine, atleast not for a good while since this is my first project and all, thx for that tip tho, so now the only thing left on suspension that i need are teh sway/tower bars, then its on to differentials |

Man, if you want to do all of that stuff to a car and have a street car why did you buy a Celica? Not to hurt anyone's pride here, but our car's...well. Whatever. Good luck. By the way, before anyone gets all pissy, you're not drifting. Also, if you're gonna get a turbocharger, I hope you're well prepared for the cost, additional parts, and lots of labor. I wouldn't boost an engine with that low of miles though. Seems like a waste, especially if you mess something up.
