New Celica owner. Options

[jesiotrot]

Hi people, I just swapped my Mazda 323 turbo for a 6th gen celica. It is the first Toyota I have owned, I am usually a Mazda man.

I am thoroughly impressed with the car so far, handling is excellent thanks to some KYB struts and Tein springs, and some whiteline goodies. Engine is completely stock 5SFE and manual gearbox.

I have not decided whether or not I should keep the car stock, or modify it. I have only had it for a few days!

Couple of quick shots -






I will post up some better pics when I take some. It has side skirts and front and rear lips on the bumpers. Not sure what they are from, a factory kit of some sort? Anyone care to explain?

Also do these cars come with some sort of factory alarm system? My car has a security button and flashing red light under the radio, but it did not come with any remote of any kind. Thinking a previous owner may have lost the keyless entry thing if it ever had one to begin with.

This is my old Mazda 323 I swapped for the celica -








I also own a black Jap import Mazda MX-6 Capella.







And my previous car was a Mazda 626 station wagon with 230kw at the front wheels, it ran an adapter plate and a Toyota E58/E153 gearbox. I have since got rid of this car and all the engine parts from it will be transplanted into the MX6 when I have time to build a new motor, as my old one blew a ring land and split the block (25,000kms and 22psi on a non turbo engine will do that).

The exterior looks really good in those shots. When you get sick of the 5SFE there are a few options engine wise, then you'll have a pretty sweet car.

Regarding the flashing light, some Celicas came with a factory alarm, in which case there should have been a key fob thingy to arm and disarm it. It would also control the central locking.

Welcome to Celica world.
