Just bought my first Celica, a 1996 GT convertible. I just want to say hi to everyone on the forum here. I've been reading everything on here the last few days and can't believe the amount of information on here. Best car forum I've been on, hands down.
 Most everything on the car is in great shape. No dents, a couple small scratches, no rust. The interior needs a little work, there is a large tear on the driver's seat on the outside edge, and the wood trim is in need of some reconditioning. The fog lights had some water in them and were corroded, so I need to get new ones. But other than that it's in great shape. I bought a few small things to do, red LEDs for the gauges and climate controls. White ones for most of the other lights. Silverstar Ultras high and low. I also bought a Ebay short throw shifter for a 7th gen. Things I'm planning on doing are: 17" Sport Edition CE wheels, bright satin w/ machined lip Tanabe GF or TRD springs TRD sway bars Custom CAI Different tail lights New stereo Some kind of exhaust, I think a 2.5" catback Possibly a spoiler And somewhere way down the line I'd like to swap in a BEAMS      Comments? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks! |
