Newbie Questions, Looking to buy, wanting to avoid headaches, have a mod-game plan Options

[CycleTron]

Hello folks,
No, I don't own one. yet. But I have begun my hunt. I have been following the forum for a while, and think it's time I post some questions. I have fallen for this car, after having picked up an 88 Corolla SR5. My past road-racing (auto-cross and such) has been with BMWs, Volvos and older Nissans. So, one might say I'm a convert. As well, I'm looking to pick up a 4-Runner, so keeping everything Toyota makes sense to me (anyone want to buy a 3-series track car?)

So, hopefully I'm not making any newbie mistakes here. Here goes

Wheels: (http://www.tsw.com/) (ranked in order of preference)
1. TWS Evo
2. TWS Turn7
3. TWS Modello
As you can see, there is a certain style I like. That being said, I am very aware of rotating mass, so something like an Enkei or BBS will do. Anyone have any of the TWS rims on one I can see a pic of?

Suspension:
Ideally I'd like to lower it two inches. Eibach I know well from my BMW history, and I suspect they make very nice stuff for Celica's as well.

Tires:
Given my lowering idea, what do you recommend for tire/rim size? Will a 17" with 45 fit on this if it is lowered that much?

Brakes:
Recommendations? I'm a late braker on the track, and fully love big discs. EBS pads are my current fav. I believe I'll end up changing rotors and cals. Is the ST only disc on front, and if yes, is it a pain to change over to disc on rear as well? Do they all come with ABS?

Bodypanels
1. http://www.c-one.co.jp/C-ONEPARTS/celica.html
Anything close to this anyone would recommend?

Lighting:
1. Recommend bulb upgrades (and are they safe???)
2. PIAA driving/fog lamps work fine I am guessing.

And as many TRD parts as I need to get what I want out of the car.

Mod Questions:
1. Is there a super-charger available that will work for a daily driver?
2. If no SC, what do people recommend for a turbo kit?
3. In Canada, what is a fair price for a 94-96 GT and ST?
4. Anyone know of a wreaking yard on Vancouver Island for these units?
5. Seat recommendations. I want to be able to get my kids in the back, but still have a safe/comfortable racing seat (racing harness recommendations?)
6. What are the common problems to watch out for on a Canadian version, years 94 -96?
7. Can I use VDO gauges in this puppy? I understand, they have a non-normal stock configuration. As I plan to put a turbo in if I can't locate a SC, I'll need a gauge for it, and I prefer the euro gauge style (white-face, black numbers, RPM on right side and larger if possible). Thoughts?
8. AWD. Is there an AWD model in Canada? And if yes, for performance should I just stick with the FWD?


Ideally, I'm looking for a 94-96 GT in good shape. I would like to have leather interior, but have to have pw/pl. Color, I don't care about, so long as the inside is black (have a paint scheme in mind). Reality is, I'll end up getting it in Vancouver as there doesn't seem to be many on the island.

Thanks in advance all,
CT
