Its actually my friends 98 celica GT, but since he doesnt know anything about it or much about cars in general, i joined on here because his car shares the same engine as my camry does so i know a few things...

its in need of some real professional help... he bought the car for less than 5k, has dropped cut factory springs, factory shocks... the brakes master cylinder sounds like its failing and biting the dust, cheap exhaust tipped muffler with the factory intake cut in half with a crappy cone filter stuck on there with big fuel injectors, no idea what size but bigger than factory.

what does everyone think of it?

ah hah, I thought so... the neighborhood looks like Cazadero Heights

anyway, there are different theories on this. Some people say that the thicker wires will hold a better load resistance. I asked around about this before I replaced my wires, including a few Toyota Techs. The general consensus was that Toyotas like factory specs, and as such there was no benefit to increasing the wire gauge (on a stock engine). OEM brand for our wires is Denso - you can get them, but they'll run you more than NGK, which is actually the exact same manufacturer.

I found my NGK wires on Amazon for $23 less than Autozone or Checkers/Schuck's/K-(something). Here's a link to them http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C5M27..._rev_prod_title

Opt for the free delivery (if they still offer it). I did and mine still came the next day.
