Some new Pics of my Celica GT, Watch and enjoy Options

After washing my car today I took some pictures, here they are:









Within a couple of weeks my clear indicators will be delivered, so it's gonna look even better. Some months ago, I've also installed a K&N 57i Kit and that sounds great!



Let me know what you guys think of it.

BTW, what is that to the left of your battery? my car doesn't have that.

It's cruise control. Man, I wish I had a 3sge like that. Those 3rd gens are sweet. Be happy you don't live in the states. You've got tons of potiental with that motor. Drop the car only if you want. It looks just fine were it's at. I would invest in some EMS, and then go to town on that motor. Gives me goose bumps just thinking about all the things I would do to that thing.

No, it's no cruise control, it's the control unit of my alarm system. The power potential of the 3S-GE engine isn't very high. You can't turbo it, because the compression ratio is way to high (10.5:1), so you'll need low compression pistons, which are much $$$. To get some extra power you need to NA tune it, and that's very expensive. Cheapest option is to swap it to 3S-GTE engine, which I want to do when I've saved enough money.

That GT-4 looks nice, but needs some cleaning tough.

The color btw is Storm Blue (no. 752), but at night it more looks like green. Never the less I love the color, too.

I thought it looked funny for a cruise control unit. My bad on that one. I bet you could get 250whp out of a NA 3rd gen 3sge. And that would be all that I would need. I would love to swap one in the car, but I have absolutely no money at the moment. You can turbo a car with 10.5:1 compression, you just have to run low boost. There are some guys out there that bought the 3sge, and then turboed it. I like high reving NA motors, and I don't need a tone of hp for drag. So the 3sge is good for me. So is the 4age though.
