Thought I could do my very own project topic!

I´ve been saving money, and from now to June the car will be gettin' new mods. The mods I´ve been thinking are
- custom CAI
- custom exhaust system
- New superlight rims, OZ Superturismo GT is a possibility, I´ll post bad photoshop pics if I get ideas!
- some subtle interior mods, bucketseats maybe
- GT-four rear spoiler

I was thinking of buying an HKS header, but I´ll keep to the stock header, I dont think there really is much difference in performance between them. The custom CAI an exhaust will be made out ... rosteri, which is more than I can translate to english they are made at my buddies enginetuning-shop, and I think they will be great. GT-four spoiler will be made out of glassfiber by a friend of mine, and he´s going to use his GT4 as a cast.

Superleggeras will be the last one to arrive, in june. I borrowed a picture from here and made a picture of a celica on ultraleggeras and it looked good, though I cant photoshop so i did it with PAINT

Feel free to tell what you think about the project.

those are nice welds, but once question. Why did you go to a tuning shop to get an intake done? Actually another question, did they dope you into doing a short ram intake instead of a whole CAI system?

Actually, why wouldn´t I? I know the owners, so I know that when I go there I am with real pros who know what they do and help me get the best out of that 3S-GE.

And they did dope me going short ram, because they thought it was wiser, as the filter wont be getting full of dust, as it would have probably happened. CAI is better for a track car, but when its on daily use, short ram is the way to go, I guess.
