Hey Guys,
I have a 95 Celica ST with 1.8 and 5 Spd has over 200K miles and its all original I would like to get to know about it like what particular motor and all I have and how to find out it all Then begin to do some mods to it I have had it over a year and other than doin the front spindles and putting 7th gen celica wheels with new tires on it and other odds and ends to get runnin and driving nice. Most of the underhood stuff has been replaced just need to do a drive belt and will be all new parts This is my first Celica and newer car as I usually drive and work on old Dodge and Plymouths like my 74 360 Dart Swinger and 73 340 Duster so not all up on good parts sources and mods to do to my car to make it perform well Also How do I post pics? Thanks for any and all help This post has been edited by 95Celica5Spd: Jul 28, 2013 - 12:14 AM -------------------- 1974 Green Dart Swinger 360 4 BBL auto

It just looks tacky having fatter tires on the rear of a front wheel drive car, it's almost as bad as staggered wheel sizes. Not to mention it'll just make the problems associated with FWD even worse. Rear wheel drive cars Hell yes, front wheel drive just Hell no. Next thing you know you'll have a Civic with staggered wheels and fatties in the back with a giant spoiler.
 If you shop around you can get springs and struts for around $400ish. Cheapest coilovers are Megan Street Series and they're a tad under $700. This post has been edited by Box: Jul 30, 2013 - 5:04 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
