What do you think? Options

Its actually my friends 98 celica GT, but since he doesnt know anything about it or much about cars in general, i joined on here because his car shares the same engine as my camry does so i know a few things...

its in need of some real professional help... he bought the car for less than 5k, has dropped cut factory springs, factory shocks... the brakes master cylinder sounds like its failing and biting the dust, cheap exhaust tipped muffler with the factory intake cut in half with a crappy cone filter stuck on there with big fuel injectors, no idea what size but bigger than factory.

what does everyone think of it?

[maddawg0]

soon as he sells his other car, hes getting some eibach springs and some new struts... better spark plugs and a better intake system and hes considering repainting it something better... less flashy and crappy looking

[tomazws]

I really don't like the paint theme...

[GriffGirl]

is that an Oregon plate on that car?

[Hanyo]

hmm staggered rims?

[joehernandez]

to be honest the paint is really ugly!!
did he bought it like that or he painted it?

[xs94st]

tell him to save n repaint. :\ i would make it the first priority unless he's okay with it

[D-Man]

Hey hey hey ya'll. If that guy likes his paint job; then it dont matter what we think.

Granted i wouldn't have that paint on MY car , lol. But Most of you would roll with my paint job on your cars. Nor vice versa.

Looks... Really Interesting Madawg0, Really interesting... Different, but uh- ....... Interesting......

I like the whels

Why would he upgrade his injectors? It doesnt sound like he's controlling them with anything. And yeah, the paint is horrendous.

He is already considering getting rid of that paint job.

How rare are the vert's? I have only ever seen one here in NZ and we have a lot of 6 g celicas around here.

[Rymaster]

i've only seen 2 verts here in Maryland

but i know of at least another 5 people that have a hardtop 6g celica here around me

[maddawg0]

hes got one idea of a paint color but he mentioned some teel green color he saw from need for speed... i dont have to see it and it sounds dumb already.... nah he bought this car the way it is, has a nice sound system with 2 12"s in the back with leather interior with a 5 speed

well, make sure that the clutch is fine..it is a decently old car n you dont know what kinda person was driving the celi..check for leaks, broken/failing pumps, belts, timing belt, gaskets, (leak down test for headgasket, visual expection of valve cover gasket) brakes!, (check pads/rotors for wear)

doesnt really have to check the headgasket, just what i would do cuz i have bad luck with em..people charge alot for these things sometimes :\

just check everything, make sure its running fine, and then he can see what he can do to upgrade n modify.



if he's fine with the paint, he can wait, or he can just sand it down and flat black that baby

is he on the forums yet?

Since it's a 98, it should have a metal head gasket, so really it should be fine. He really should join the forum if he wants to know about his car. 9 times out of 10, the convertible top wont work anymore electronically. It's a common problem on the convertibles, but has an easy fix. The previous owner seemed to have no idea what they were doing with the car, but it seems like nothing terribly unreversible was done to the car, so that's a good sign. So tell your friend good luck with the car and hope it has a better life with him.

the real question is, since you've been on here more than the guy that owns the car...when are you going to buy a 6gc

[maddawg0]

Good question, but he sucks with computers... and i dont think i could betray my camry... i'm loyal to that car

[GriffGirl]

so is it an oregon plate though? just curious...

Celica GT is just a Camry with a prettier body. Buy a shell and swap the heart in

is that an Oregon plate on that car?
