Yes, as it says in the title..finally a Celica.
About 3 weeks ago I purchased a 1998 2.0 GT with 130.000 miles and in a pretty good condition overall. Both the interior and exterior are in very good condition and mechanically the car has 2 faults: 1. clunking noise on the rear end. That's because of the droplinks and ARB bushes. I tried to change them yesterday but one of the droplinks is stuck so I have to go to a garage to change them. 2. I noticed a very small oil leak. After not moving the car for more than a day I found a spot(less than a square inch) under it. At the last mot the car had as an advisory one oil leak but the owner told me it was the sump seal and he changed it. I don't really know what to think about that . Other than that....I LOVE the car and is something that I always wanted. -------------------- TODAY TOMORROW TOYOTA

I can't decide if I should stick with the actual wheels (15") and refurbish them, or change them for bigger ones....
Any ideas? P.S. I love my car!!!!!!!! -------------------- TODAY TOMORROW TOYOTA

Bigger with lower profile tires. Just don't make the mistake buying something big and heavy. Personally I would spend the money on one thing you've planned, coilovers, then get wheels. -------------------- |
