So you have a celica that you didn't care for before. It grew on you and your heart swells with love for it. You decide you want to modify it. What's that? Your state frowns on modification to your vehicle? Who gives a $#!t. Let's do this!

I ask your thoughts. You have a stock 95' GT Hatchback Celica. You have $2300 (I realize this isn't a whole lot, but dude, it's free money) ready to dump into it. What do you do first? So many things I plan on doing in the future, but would like to save up more before getting into swaps, just because I do not have the proper tools or the knowledge of doing so at this time. Unless you know people :-D Even still, I doubt $2300 can get it done. So would anyone like to be the best 6gc friend to a stranger and send your thoughts this way?

Thanks,
Faust

if you're gonna swap, don't go cheap. get it done right and save yourself a lot of money and headaches in the long run. so i say save your 2300 till you have enough knowledge and/or money to swap the right way. for now just focus on things you're gonna keep on the car even after you swap. intake, header, exhaust is a waste since you'll be changing those eventually. if it where me, i'd do suspension and wheels and save up the rest. some good springs, shocks, strut/sway bars, rims, and tires will make a big difference in performance. and you can still use them after you swap.
