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).

Thanks guys, I dont mind gettin my hands dirty!

The car didnt come with any remote, so i'm guessing it has been lost sometime in the last 15 years.

As for the engine i've been doin some research on my options. My friend recently installed a 1MZ-FE into his Mazda 626 so i'm liking that idea.
