I GOT THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF A 99 CELICA THAT WAS AT A JUNK YARD BUT IM NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE .... I HAVE A STOCK 5SFE HEAD WITH 5 POUNDS NOW ... WITH A 3S TURBO MANIFOLD WHICH BOLTS RIGHT ON ... THE EXHAUST IS SIMPLE THERE IS ONLY ONE PIPE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE COMING FROM THE TURBO TO THE BACK OF THE OIL PAN .. AND ALL THE REST COULD BE STOCK IF YOU WOULD LIKE ... .... I GOT CHEAP EBAY COIL OVER THEY WERE LIKE 50 BUCKS ,,,,, THEY GAVE ME A 3 INCH DROP ...... WELL WITH THE INTAKE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED TO FAB ONE UP AFTER YOU BOOST IT ... IF YOU LOOK AT MY ENGINE PICS I DON'T HAVE ONE ON MY ALTERNATOR IS IN THE WAY ...........
