Hey to all! I jus bought my first Celica last week, its a White GT (2.0 Litre Engine... 174bhp) its a beast .. I'm really pleased but I've been reading up on parts for better performance and I've got a few questions...

1. What are the benefits of a TRD : Low Temperature Sports Thermostat?

2. I'm going to get some sort of air filter... I was thinking HKS... but whats better, an open air (cone shape) or and drop in filter (same shape as the stock to fit in the air box)?

3. Has anyone got any advice ideas or things I should know about or just cool things I can do to my celica?

I'll be adding pics soon!!

Any help at all is greatly appreciated!

Glad to have you aboard!

what you do to your car is up to you. Browse around the members rides section and find some things that you like the looks of, if you're into modifying the looks. Thats where I got my ideas for my ride.

If you're into engine mods, hanging around the boards will give you some great ideas. There are a variety of things you can do to get a more powerful engine if thats what you're into.

I always think that getting a great suspension system is key to a nice ride too. It makes the car look cooler, but more importantly it makes it a lot funner to drive. Suspension is the key to a smooth ride, and the returns are a lot greater than engine work, at least I think, in terms of fun for driving.

Good luck, and let us know what you end up doing!

God Bless,
