Bought this from a friend in november for 1000$, 97 celica ST special edition from the states, 168k miles.


Friend didnt even know car had a 160-170hp 4age Blacktop engine, tied down throttle cable, played with timing,
gave it a tank of premium and gained an instant 40hp...

Painted the wheels bronze cause 2 color cheap wheels is a no go.

Exhaust fell off from header to muffler on a speed bump in a mall so tied that thing with steel wire and
brought it to a shop for custom 2.5in catback

Traded my rattlecan painted Drag DR9s with bald tires for these almost new momos with brand new cheap
tires on. Currently in the process of plastidipping them black cause 2 color cheap wheels is a no go.
Hope they look good (bigger 225/45 instead of 205/40 and 35 offset instead of 47) or else will go JDM shop hunting in the spring.

Also, no pics but just went scrapyard hunting, got a full rear disc conversion for 50$ and avalon front twin pistons calipers for 40$
will be installing those in spring. thanks for reading.

That looks a really nice car. I actually really liked the old wheels you had after you sprayed them Bronze. They suited the car well.
