Hey guys,
I recently bought a '94 celica GT. I found it at a local Toyota dealership with under 100k miles on it. I actually even talked them down to low blue book as well! The car is completely cherry, not a scratch or ding on it. It was owned and operated by a lady in her mid 40's as a weekend car and probably was never taken over 3500 rpms. From what I can tell, this thing is as close to finding one brand new (at least in my area) as you can get.

So I got my beloved celica home, and ended up finding this site. One of the reasons why I love the older 94-99 celica's is for their styling. A mixture of an integra and a supra, which are both cars that I like the looks of. After searching through these forums however, I learned about the GT-4s, where my cupholders are (yeah, couldn't find them) along with many other interesting topics.

However that leads me to my actual question. Since all of you not only have owned or do own a 6th gen celica, what tasteful mods do you recommend? I LOVE the stylings of the GT-4, but I find it useless to put a bunch of exterior mods on a car that is only pushing out ~130hp, and in all honesty, when I want to break 160mph I just jump on my '97 suzuki gsxr 750. In any event, it's still much quicker then my last car - a '91 4runner 4x4

So let me know what you guys think. I found the GT-4 hood on ebay, along with the spoiler risers and some other misc. stuff. I do understand that trying to find a decent shape and decent price body kit for this thing will be a headache, but that's where I'm hoping some of the senior members here can step in. Like I said, I'm looking to do tasteful mods, and if anyone has something lying around I might be interested in taking it off of your hands.

As you can see, Betsy is in magnificent shape. I love her to death. I lucked out even more since this one has EVERYTHING you could have asked for; the ABS package, Leather seats, etc.

Thanks for the help,
-TC

Clear turn signals, JDM tails, JDM fogs, window tint, splitters, skirt, lower it, JDM folding mirrors, new (tasteful) rims. That's where I'd start - it's subtle but maintains the original lines and beauty of the car IMO.

Really your best best is to spend some good quality time pouring through the members gallery and taking note of what you like and what you don't like. Modding our cars is so very specific to our own taste - unless of course you're just doing it to impress other people, but I guess that's a different story now isn't it. tongue.gif

I hope you have a good job, because your life just got a lot more expensive with the discovery of this new hobby! VERY nice find there - and welcome to the site.
