You did some great updates within the first few days with your new Celica. The wheels are such a huge improvement. Although, instead of spending your money on "performance" mods for that engine, I think you would get more bang for your buck by tightening up the suspension, adding some OEM Toyota liftback side skirts, OEM foglights and basic maintenance to be sure it is operating at it's best. Good luck, looks great so far!

yea i was thinking about lowering it or putting some bars on it but money is tight right now, and i think the previous owner did something with the suspension, it is alrealy pretty tight going around turns with little body roll, but some jdm parts would be nice

To be honest, the Celica GT's were always praised for their tight steering and suspension from the factory. I cant imagine the ST is much different. The car's driving dynamics are some of the greatest in it's class.

You're right. I don't experience much body roll, and my steering is quite responsive.

You can afford JDM tails and you can't get your lazy butt over here in Columbus? haha
Looks great so far. It's funny how far the cars come in such little time. I'll have to post pics of my Celica up here too. I've done a few mods since last time I posted. Btw, nice signature.. wonder who made it . -------------------- |
