Hi there, my name is Desmet Patrick, i live in Belgium and am new to the forum, just baught this Celica 1.8 from 1994 and very pleased with it.
It wil be my daily runner and is converted to gas (LPG) as fuel in Europe costs us a leg....., she wil stand next to my Mazda MX-5 (Miata for you guys wink.gif ) which is my summer car.
She has 180.000 kms (110.000 miles?) on the clock and runs great, planned mods in the future are lowering it about 3 cms (too high now with these 17 inchers), removal of the roof spoiler, other exhaust, discrete front lip and leather interior, that's basicly it.
Sorry for my "broken" english , it's not my native language but i'l do my best.

Great looking car! I like the roof spoiler. I say keep it. It looks like you have a Booster Tuning grille in the front bumper. I dig it. thumbsup.gif

The roof spoiler (Booster) on itself is fine for me but i believe it's just a bit too much in combination with the rear spoiler .
When i went to see the car it had an air scoop on the bonnet and a much bigger rearspoiler... as the seller is a garage keeper and a Celica specialist a part of the deal became ; removing of that hood and replacing it with an original one , also swap the big spoiler for this one (original Toyota? not sure about it...).
As he just resprayed the car due to minor chips/dents and faded away paintwork it was an easy task for him.
