Hi guys,
So I'm getting a bit tired of pouring money into my ST (just dropped $1.5k on a sound system, and still not satisfied). After all the $$$ that I've put into her, I realize that I still need probably another 20K to make her "perfect". The list just goes on and on...damn, so many choices! What to do!?! Blah, enough of my whining. Anyways, on to the point of this thread. So what do guys think I should do next? I'm only going to spend another $3000 max on my car (I say that now, but...). So of the following choices, which do you think should me the "final" upgrade on my Cecilia? 1) Engine swap (yeah, I know it'll end up costing me more than 3K... ) 2) Redo my exterior (new paint, carbon hatch, fix all dings/dents/rust, neons lights) 3) Redo my interior (sparco seats, racing steering wheel, car computer) 4) Performance upgrades: lowering springs, strut bars, rear brake conv, big brake kit, projectors, and exhaust system...also going to be >3K Damn...she's gonna end up costing me more than a freakin' Supra!

well, your exterior looks good as it is. figure $500 for lowering springs and probably new shocks as well (or tein ss 1200 & ST sway bars 200)
then, interior, get some celica stock leather seats, look good enough imo. swap to a 7th gen steering wheel (the two there should run you like 700-800) jdm projectors (700) jdm tail lights (300) so thats like 2500 so far i would leave the engine alone. maybe freshen it up, new seals/gaskets etc, dress it up some. then i wouldn't complain about it think about what you want from the car. race car performance handling you can get under 2000. race car acceloration your looking $10k plus jdm projectors make a world of difference. make the car look like its a new '09 model that noone's seen yet. plus make a HUGE improvement with night driving, esp if you add true hid -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!
