RECONDITIONING MY DAD'S CELICA, Just inherited a lovely celica!! Options

[coneyre]

Hello Celica lovers,

I am proud to say I have just purchased my first celica. I bought it off my father. It has been in my family since my cousin brought it home from Japan in 1995 NEW so it holds a large amount of sentimental value.

Its a 1995 ST202 JAP import 3SFE.

It has seen better days as my dad didnt really take care of it but I love it so I am going to do the best I can to restore it.

I know its not the best celica and certainly not the most powerful (being a 3SFE) but its more than a car to me and I want to get the best performance out of it as possible.

I will post up pics as soon as possible. I havent done anything to it yet and I have some ideas but any advice you pro's have I am all ears and hope one day I will be a celica enthusist too.

I dont know alot about celicas or engines really in general but I am learning. From the research I've done I thought I had the least powerful celica in the 6gen range. It only outputs about 130bhp I think???????

It is a 3SFE and in the future I would like to upgrade to a 3SGE but do I have to change the whole engine or can I just replace the head??

The engine is running fine at the moment, great actually so I think im gonna consintrate on the styling first. I dont plan on "SUPING" it up. Im not into all that neon and flashy stickers. I like style but modest style. Im going to try and stay true to the celica style.

I will have pics up tomorrow but as I just bought the car I havnt done anything to it yet.
