[playr158]

a) you are 16 you can't handle a 3sgte celica
b) you have MINIMAL driving experience you DO NOT need a faster car
c) several people have told you HANDLING is a great start.
d) if you can handle BETTER you can go FASTER

you start with the driver then you move to the car...
learn how to drive, get a good solid suspension setup, good brake setup

then when you are older more experienced and more mature...upgrade the power..

steps for a great celica

a) GC coilovers
b) ST sway bars & GT4 rear strut bar
c) good slotted rotors and quality pads
d) 17" light weight wheels with QUALITY tires
e) stock airbox with k&N drop in filter removed air box resonators
f) 2.25" catback custom made
g) ebay headers
h) TWM short shifter

^get that and you'll have more than enough car for you + some money in the bank earning interest

Well put. Some wise advice for your bro. Stick to it and stop wanting more power. I can just imagine, remember that one kid who jumped into his dads shelby 500 and crashed it LOL. way to much power.

Yeah man, we're not even doing this to rag you. I want power too, but I don't want a 3S-GTE. be original. I think you can build a pretty solid 7A-FE N/A motor and get some decent numbers out of it if you put enough cash and effort into it. I'm 17, so don't think the older guys r ganging up on you. I love throwing my Celica around a corner more than anything. And no offense, but you can't honestly think you were gonna have a fast car when you bought a 1.8 liter 4-cylinder Celica, did you? get some driving under ur belt, then mod from there. You don't really need a racecar when you live in the city. Most speed limits around here are between 45 and 60. Why waste your money on a ton of performance mods when you don't get to use them all the time?
