Hello everyone. I'm finally started on building my white 1995 Celica GT convertible 5 speed. I still have my black 95 GT convert that I am using for a parts car. Both of this cars are identical in every way except the black one needs an ECU and the white has the premium sound system and the black one doesn't.

Now so far I have a Pioneer cd player and MTX speakers installed in the interior. Performance side I have Eibach sportline springs with KYB struts, Weapon R secret weapon short ram intake, M2 performance header, Venom 400 ECM, and I just ordered a vacuum line kit from siliconeintakes.com. It has a set of Drift Z wheels wrapped in Kumho Ecsta 4x tires. These are great all season/weather tires. I would strongly suggest these tires for any build since they hook up great and provide great handling. I only paid $330 for the set of 255/50/16 tires. That is all the after market stuff. Other then that its a stock 5SFE with a full tune up.

My future plans are to order a full LED kit from Spree, Head and Cam package from Gude Performance (includes ported intake manifold, big bore throttle body, port and polished head, both camshafts, and ECU), GT4 JDM headlights, aftermarket clutch/flywheel, gold or bronze wheels, and cross drilled/slotted rotors.

Now here is what I need help with:
1. Convertible top adjustments? Windows don't line up and they leak air like a mofo.
2. Bottom door panel speakers don't work (Premium sound system). Someone told me the amp under my seat is dead.
3. Need some exhaust ideas, I do not want a horrible fart can sound. I'm looking for something with a deep tone. It sounds good already with the header. Since the 5sfe doesn't make power worth a crap, I'm not interested in reducing a whole lot of back pressure.
4. Do any of you have any real experience with building any real power (not mufflers or cold air intakes) from the 5SFE?

I have pictures of both my cars on my profiles if you'd like to seen them.
Thanks for your time.
