johnnehh's Progression, 1996 Celica GT Options

[SwissFerdi]

And you bought a strut bar in the meantime? Quick progress.

Hahahaha, you wouldn't believe how many people say that when they pop open my hood

All I did was paint the stock strut. I'm going to buy more soon, but major performance parts come first :]

Yeah, I agree, but I've been having doubts about how they'll look on my car. They are 18", and it will raise my car up about a half inch. He still has to save up for new rims before he sells them to me, so I have time to lay out my options.

How do you guys think they'd look?

[SwissFerdi]

So then it's a mod by the previous owner? I'm pretty sure there is no factory strut bar, but I don't own a GT either, so.

The rims would look good in general, but I think they might be a bit big. The 6GC is a relatively small car, and I wouldn't personally go over 17". Better ride as well.

Oh haha. The guy I bought it from was an old grandpa who drove it to and from the grocery store.. So I don't think he put it on. I'm pretty sure GT models have it stock, can anyone confirm?

And I agree. I wouldn't go bigger than 17" either, but the deal I'd be getting for these rims is unbelievable.

Maybe I'll just go buy some new tires and leave the stockies on there. Who knows.

[SwissFerdi]

If you really want different rims and have the cash, I'd say no to your friend's rims and look for some 17's instead.

94-97 gt's came with that strut bar stock

x2 on the strut bar. I think it might have even been offered after that as part of the sport package that had stiffer suspension.

By the way, that's not a cold air intake. That's a short ram intake. It's kinda like a hot air intake, since it's sucking heat right off of your motor. It'll pep the car up a bit though.

It's the only thing I could buy that would keep my car passing smog >.<

Real intakes block the sensors.

[richee3]

I've got basically the same intake on my car. I guess it's actually literally the same intake. My air filter is blue though. It doesn't add any power, but it peps the car up just enough to notice, and sounds better than Civics and their fart pipes. I'm jealous of your strut bar, by the way. Having a '98, I have to do without

Ehhh I built her a longgg time ago. Then I got a car and forgot about her

GFX: 2x MSI GeForce 8800GTS (G92) in SLI
CPU: AMD X2 6400+ Black Edition
HDD: 2x 320GB Western Digital 7,200RPM HDD
Mobo: ASUS M2N-E AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra
PSU: XCLIO STABLEPOWER 500W

I know, it's old now, but it was top of the line when I built it.

Cool man. I know how it is. Computers are a crazy rapid market, the next gen parts are just around the corner. Your car reminds me of mine, rapidly modding being a first car and all. Its exciting. Ive toned down my car modding alot, back to my roots with my computer.

[rave2n]

I see you got the same SRI I have on mine. I plan on removing the filter, and putting a Weapon R 3' Dragon filter on it. With the heatshield, ran to the fender entrance to pull cold air from there.

Haha that first time you fire the car up with that intake, it screams at you. I couldn't stop grinning.

Hehehe me either.

I can see myself getting in trouble with this, though.

I am already a pretty 'aggressive' driver, I like having fun when I drive, and this makes things oh-so much more fun :]
