WTB: Anything to Improve my car, WTB: Anything to Improve my car Options

[TXcelicaChic]

I'm looking to improve my car the best I can at this point. Performance, looks, pretty much everything so if you have anything to sell...let me know because I'm definitely interested! The guys down in texas don't really seem to know what all their doing with their cars...hehe...I love to work on mine, but I wanted to see what all everyone had out there. Post something and let me know!

I don't have anything to sell but as a guide to what your looking for/to do/start.

- RAM Air Intake system or Cold Air Intake system;
- Exhaust System (Greddy SP, TRD, ...);
- Header (Arospeed, ...);
- Fuel Pressure Regulator;
- Ignition upgrade (Coil, Iridium Spark Plugs, Spark Plug Wires);
- Piggy-Back Computer (S-APC, Venom400, ...);
- Underdrive Pulley (ASP, OBX, Unorthodox, ...).

Handling:
- Rims & Tires;
- Shocks (Koni Yellows, JIC, GAB, KYB, ...);
- Lowereing Springs (Eibach, Intrax, Tein, ....);
- Tower Strut Bars front and rear (TRD, Cusco, RS*R, ...);
- Suspension Technique Anit-sway bars.

Braking:
- Drilled/Slotted discs (KVR, Brembo, ...);
- Brake Pads (KVR, EBC Green, Kevlar,...);
- Stainless Steel Brake Hoses (Techna-fit, Goodrich,...).

Looks:

This is by no means an exhaustive list ...but a gives you an idea.

Thanks for the info...I already have an exhaust for my car. That was actually one of the first things that I had done. Any idea on how much intake would cost? That was the next thing that I'm wanting to do, but I wanted to get an idea on cost so that I dont get ripped off

There are several intake systems on the market:
Injen, Weapon-R, K&N, ...
(Check out the Parts Database for more info.)

I think you'll find varying opinions here about which and what ones to use.
Generally speaking K&N a very very good, but they only do a 57i kit for the GT.
They do a drop in filter for the ST.

I have an ST and have personally gone for the Injen Technolgy RAM Air Intake System (ref.: IS2040).
AMSS are currently selling it a $176 + shipping.
(http://www.aftermarketsuperstore.com/).

Of course you can always try and make one.
(See the How-to-Articles section).

Here's a link to ebay for a K&N intake system. Its a very good price, it says its for a GT, but it can be used on an ST as well. With a few minor modifications.

K&N Air Intake

I have an ST also so I'm really cautious about putting anything in mostly because I don't want to screw up my car especially since pretty much no one in my family really does anything with their cars so I don't really have anyone to ask about different stuff. Both look pretty good...are they difficult to install at all?

[BillyBob]

is there any headers or cai for GT's yet?!

The K&N intake system is infact, I think, what we call the "civic" type.
It is not manfactured by K&N but has a K&N filter.
It is basically a universal system.
It will work but IMO will probably such in too much hot air from the engine due to its length and position.
It will need to be cut shorter or plugged up near the throttle body end of the pipe, a hole drilled to take the sensor, the 2 little pipes that stick out have the supplied pipe run from one to the other and the brackets supplied aren't particular brillaint.
I believe that there is a "How-To" on this.

The Injen system is very good, although considered as expensive.
It's made for the 94-99 Celica GT but does fit the ST (at a squeeze).
I believe someone posted somewhere a sound file of their Injen system installed.
There is also a "How-To" to install this as well.

Before I did anything i'd get a laptop and a standalone fuel management system.. It makes everything else so much easier to do IMO..
