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. smile.gif

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!
