I have a 1994 Celica ST, and like it so much I looked at newer celicas and happened upon a Like new, fully optioned 1997 Toyota Celica GT.
No pictures yet but even the pain is flawless. Only 60,000 miles. *grins*. I'm looking to do some modifications mainly to the power at first and some body but lets start slow. Cold Air Induction im told is a great way to start. It already has allow wheels, though they are stock and not too fancy. I might go that way but that can get pretty expensive to get "nice" looking. My mindset is keeping it sleek and quiet. It's Jet black, very glossy. Things I'd like to see with the car are: 1) More Horsepower (currently has stock. Want to up that a bit without damaging engine). 2) Nice Sound. The Tkssss sound a GOOD Cold Air Intake system makes is definitely what I'm looking for. 3) I'd prefer a hum... not a mexican fiesta party in my muffler. My goal with this car is to be a head turner and a fun ride without it being labeled a rice mobile. Here's my car. Raige's 1997 Toyota Celica GT Tell me what you think I should do! Thanks a bunch! I'm gonna look at some of the cars here and get ideas! |

Here is my $.02: Forget the h.p. modifications unless you plan to turbo or swap engines. Anything else that you do will result in minimal gains and more noise. Your best bet is to work on your suspension and some tasteful exterior modifications. Good luck and welcome to the site.

[right][snapback]338936[/snapback][/right] well put. if i were u i would get a body kit possible gt-4 conversion?? some nice rims, lower it about 2 inches and replace the struts, get a greddy catback exhaust for a lil power and noise and a gt-4 wing. |
