Starting a new project..., ... Supercar Celica... Options

[FiraMica]

Well it won't be able to compete with the supercars but I want it to compete in the visual appeal first... Then maybe I can talk my mom into letting me do an engine swap...

I want to start off with low cost things first... I am thinking about getting me some seat covers or seat cushions... A person told me that racing seats aren't practical for a daily driver... And then I may get the pedals... Then get me the dash kit and Then get me a CD changer... then I probably get me some rims and tires (I don't like the low and small look of 17 and 18s, since I am going to be driving on pot hole city roads I think 15s are good enough...)... But I don't know where to go from there...

I want to keep the resonator on my car because I like the quiet cruising and silent idling but I just want a tad amount of show... Some people told me that a muffler tip about 3 inches with fiberglass packed resonator (however you say it) was the thing I need... But I want a MagnaFlow Muffler Twin Tips and they said that that was going to be loud... Well are they right... and how do you think my project is going to do...?

ok, just like everyone here I will suggest the proverbial "If you like it, thats good enough"

but, your thread title says, starting a new project. I can only assume you are reaching out for some opinions.

IMO your not starting a project, adding seat cushions, pedals, dash kit, and a muffler is not much of a project. even the rims, keeping 15 inch rims IMO wont look good if your going show, get some larger wheels to fill the wheel wells.


you say you want to compete with the "supercars"?

I'm not sure what supercars you speak off.

even though the celica is a beautiful car, you cant really compete with alot of supercars with the list of junk you listed.

If you want to compete in any way, shape or form against other cars, you cant do this with simple pepboys modifications, wait, those aren't modifications.
you need to spend a lot of money and combine it with alot of hard work.

only then will people respect you and your car.

sorry to flame on you, but your post is kinda pointless.

please, no seat covers, (unless you get the trds)

once again, let me apologize for being such an asshole
