Hey everyone,
I've been lurking around here for a month or two so I felt it was time to contribute at least something. Here is my Curren I bought 3-4 months ago (I know its not a Celica as such, but hopefully in the future it'll be awfully close to one!)  I purchased it for a bargain price given that the gearbox was thrashed. After replacing it, It was running fairly sweet! At the moment it's running a 2L 3S-FE engine with some non-standard extractors coming off it. It sits on 17" TSW rims (Apex I think?) although I am unsure if it's been lowered or not (the previous owner was selling on behalf, so some details are sketchy) I haven't done anything major to it yet (besides replacing the gearbox). I've just done simple things like putting in my Sony headunit, given it a good clean, painted one patch that was just primer, etc. A previous owner was in an accident in it, so my immediate plans are to replace the passenger door, left front guard, left headlight, and find a new bumper if I can or get a panelbeater to perform a miracle on the one I have. In the long term I plan to put a bodykit on it, either despoiler it or put a bigger wing on it and depending how long I have the car for, look into putting a BEAMS or 3sgte in it if they'll work. Seeing as I'll be a student next year, work on this car may be awfully slow. Or I may even upgrade to a later Celica/GT4  Feel free to add comments/ideas/suggestions for mods etc. I'll do my best to keep this updated! -------------------- 1996 Toyota Curren
