Hey everyone, none of you probably know who I am yet, but I love celicas.
Here is a bit of background:
My dad has owned an automatic 99 vert since around 2005 and I have loved the car ever since. I recently (past 2 years) got myself a manual 99 vert with around 65,000 miles on it! I chose the manual because I loved the car so much but I hate driving an automatic car, I just don’t feel nearly as connected to the car and it just feels wrong driving an automatic to me. Anyway, I have lurked this forum for about a year and a half now and made an account a few months ago. Seeing all of these posts have inspired me to do something with my car, so I started small, upgrading the cheapest possible things I could (broke college student). I did a few wiring projects, added a new radio, put in new lights and just overall made my car nice. I kept falling more and more in love with my car, but I always felt I was missing out by not owning a coupe or a hatchback. So I sold my car, now with 82,000 miles or so on it, and purchased a cheap gt coupe in long island.

I finally have some extra money now and I have been wanting to do some serious mods to my car for what seems like forever, and I’m going to do it.
I am a bit too excited I think, I’m not even with the car now, I’m at college and I am making this thread purely out of pictures my dad has sent me and pictures of things I am ordering online.
Next week I will be home with my car for a whole week and I plan to do as much as I can to it as fast as I can.
I will probably work on it every day of the week. Anyway, let's get started.

There are obviously a few problems with the car, it’s a car from 1994 with 115,000 miles on it so it is bound to have aged a little.

The previous owner seems to have painted over damaged/rusted areas, this should be quite the project rolleyes.gif


Antenna is stuck in the upright position


Leather drivers seat is very worn down.


Engine runs great! The radiator looks like it may need replacing soon though.


Here are the few pictures I have of the car in it's current state. It is currently covered in snow so no new pictures just yet.

Don't think the ex streets have adjustable camber tops like the others do either

I looked it up and it doesn't seem like they do. is it worth the extra $175 is the question now.

I am totally up for suggestions guys, I don't know much about coilovers at the moment, it is starting to sound like coilovers wear down much faster than stock suspension, can anyone confirm this?

Is it worth getting the Street Series because of the camber adjustments?
I don't want unnecessary tire wear.
