Noobie - whats up?, good to be here Options

[lil_lissa]

hey everyone

i just joined because im looking at purchasing a 1997 Celica GT convertible. I currently drive my parents 2001 Celica GT all the time, but don't know much about this generation. Obviously you guys must know quite a bit. I'll be asking some (maybe stupid) questions, but i just wanna know everything you know about this gen. My name's melissa, and i'm from ontario, Canada.. is this site primarily americans, or are there some people north of the border? I'm a member of C7Performance right now, but thats primarily 7th gen celi's.. so i figure i should come to the experts

anyways, good to be here, hope to learn lots of stuff and get my car pimpin.. haha

[dstrbcelica]

welcome to the boards. you'll find and see that everyone here is most of the time very nice and very helpfull. There are people on here from everywhere. from just the us to germany and such.

[lil_lissa]

nice, thats cool. Does anyone have any idea whether or not 7th gen seats would fit in a 6th gen?

i think i wanna change the interior to leather first.. then possibly a clean looking, simple lip kit for it.. any suggestions?

[thedevilmaycrie]

they can fit .... but you need to cut and weild a lil... or alot

here's a noobie question.. whast the engine in this celi?? a 97 convertible GT..? i assume its got around 140 HP like the newer GT's?

[Digndoug]

this will show you every body kit out there. kits
As for what looks good. I think the 404 looks the best.

Well completely different engine from the 7th gen GT but yeah it's got 135hp/145lbft... It's the 5sfe engine. Since you're Canadian I guess you should know that the 6th gen GTS (only released in Canada) has the same engine as the GT.

Saw your pic in OT so i figured id post welcome.

[Akimbo]

the bolt pattern is 5x100. Dunno the offset off hand. Umm. Let's see...the most simple lip kits you can throw on are front and rear extensions/splitters. More noticeable would be the Erebuni 404 lip kit. Someone give this lady some pictures.

SSIII front extensions

Hiro rear splitters

OEM rear extensions

A few noteable convertibles:
