I've been interested in these things for awhile. Mainly, because no one likes them. I did the research, and the consinsiss is, they don't work well enough for the money/drag. It's not a good mod for you car. They do work, but not much, and it causes a drain on your alternater. And anything that causes that much strain on the electircal system will end up breaking things. As far as mods for your car, you'll just half to search around here for them. I always say the same thing to new people; there's not a lot of bolt up mods to the Celica's, but there are a lot of close ones. 3sge manifold, custom exhaust, lowering springs (they are everywere), custom CAI (there's a nice how-to floating around here), Suspension tec sway bars, gt-4 rear stut brace and 95-99 dodge neon front strut brace. After all that, you have a fun street toy. If you want specifics on fitment issues and other more advanced mods, you'll have to do a search. Searching this forum is easy, and it's full of useful info. Just about every question you could ask, has already been answered. Good luck.

i guess ask presure2 how much he has into his car also he did most if not all of the work on the car so if your not going to install the turbo or swap the price goes way up
