Bought an LP670-4 Options

[freethriftyz]

Ok I lied to get you to look at the thread...but I did just buy a 1998 Celica GT convertible!

I'd been wanting a DD since driving the Evo x is insane for a dd and not fuel efficient in any way shape or form, and I am moving to Texas so I wanted a convertible. I saw this celica on the toyota lot with a sumptuous price tag and 39,000 original miles, one previous owner, all that good stuff. I had no idea what it truly was though, just bought it seeing it in the light of 'a cheap convertible'...

But on the way home I was cruising along and thinking...'this is the most enjoyable car I have ever owned!' It just has soul. Idk what it is about the car, but it feels alive. I don't care that it's slow, there's just something else to this car. I get home to see it has an extremely devoted cult following, dubbed the best celica of them all, Edmunds said debatably the best car of all time...and I just felt like the luckiest person in the world getting such a hot-looking, great priced, great feeling, reliable car

some questions, then pics.

1.) bought Eibach sportline lowering springs (1.5's...this car does need a drop...) and hope it's ok to put them on the stock setup. Anyone done this?

2.) is it possible to have the trunk inaccessible when the top is down? seems like anyone can just reach in and open it. Sebrings and bimmers and pretty much everything else require the key to be in the ignition to open the trunk from the inside

3.) my trunk won't open WITH the key lol. does that happen a lot?

4.) Antenna is busted, how do I get that eyesore off of there?

Thanks! here are the pics.
celica . com / forums was so dead that not one person even said hi when i made a thread there. So please say hi at least. Glad to have this awesome car and be part of the Toyota community!
