Hi my name is Jazlyn, I live in Corpus Christi, TX and I am new to this Celica build. I own a 94 Celica St, and looking to rebuild her. My main focus is Performance, looks, and reliability. I wanna learn as much as I can and look forward to meeting and learning from everyone.









The first modification I've done so far. Still have a long way to go tho. But its a start.

Nice pick up, looks nice and clean! Not much performance to gain from the 7a, but if you need parts for it, there is plenty all around this board.

Well here are my ideas for the build.

Exterior:
Gt-4 front end (hood & front bumper)
JDM side marker lights
Projector Headlights
Cobalt Blue paint
Lil-Joe101's spoiler
JDM Tail lights

Interior:
mostly stock except stereo, tint, and gauges

Coilovers
front and rear strut bars

Performance:
Im not doing to much on performance right not since Im still learning everything but I will once I start learning and getting the hang of everything. But for right now Im just gonna go with this:

short ram intake(already have)
cat-back exhaust
Headers

Very nice find there; what are all the wires hooked up to? I would try and hide those when you get the chance.

Theres a lot you can do to the exterior and it seems like you have a solid list there, as far as performance theres pretty much three ways to go about it with an st. You can build an exhaust, and tune up. build the stock motor and turbo it or swap a 3sgte in there.

I think right now she wants to just build it n/a headers exhaust, n intake just until she learns more and and gets a better understanding of everything
