ohhhhhhhhhh yess! i'm loving her to death already!
picked her up for a pretty great price IMO... she has 145k miles. 5 speed. GT. no rust anywhere, and i didn't even notice until today but she has the Ghost emblems i believe they're called... Black, instead of silver or gold... only issues with her that i have to adress within the next couple days is the windows seem shaky going up and down, and the rear driver side window doesn't like to go up all the time.... i had to wiggle the button until it would go up but it finally did! and the radio is stock and trash along with the front speakers , they don't even work haha. -------------------- NOVAKx17

I agree! i was thinking this and searching around for some...
also, what would be the cause of a small puddle in the trunk.... i noticed it when i opened it up last night getting gas on the way home from buying her. it was raining pretty good. is there a normal leak area or just mine. ha -------------------- NOVAKx17

Sweet! I bought a '97 black 'vert in October. My only problem is I can't stop driving it.
 I check my carpets after each heavy rain, and haven't found any water in the the rear quarter panels, or under the spare. I tend to be OCD-ish about that sort of thing, but so far it's been fine. Maybe the gasket around the trunk lid is allowing water to leak in. |

not much new news, other than the turn signals and sidemarkers are tinted black now.
  but bad news is, i have the dash torn apart because i was replacing the stock stereo with my double din kenwood touch screen and i bought the harness i was told i needed from my car audio shop in town, and low and behold it does not match up to the single white conector that came out of the stock player. never had to deal with this in a 4 speaker set up. guessing it has to do with the amp and connectors. its all sorts of ****ed up. hating life at the moment haha. -------------------- NOVAKx17

I installed a Pioneer touchscreen HU in my '97, and used the RCA plug harness that Crutchfield supplied. I had to make about 5 wire splices after plugging the RCA's into the back of the HU, and that made life much easier. I ran the HU through the stock amplifier BTW. That harness is $10, but I'm sure there are shipping costs of a few bucks.
P.S. After reading nightmare stories about using the stock Celica amp, I was pleasantly surprised that I never had to touch the thing with the Crutchfield harness. Just wire the harness to the HU (and plug in RCA cables), and then plug adapter into the single white stock harness. Very Quick and Easy!
