Goodbye, Nova, Hello $$$1k$$$ for da Celi! Options

[mzztoyota]

So, yeah, sold my (sexy) heap



and after paying back some debts, I now have 1k left to spend on the Celi

$300 goes to the 2-way pager alarm system I want (plus installation)

and if my bf doesn't hurry his a** up and do it for me, reupholstering the seats will cost me $400

that leaves another $300. ($700 if I kick my bf hard enough, lol) Dang that goes by fast! I don't wanna buy the new front bumper yet cuz then I have to spray the car and I don't have the money for that...

but anyone wanna suggest how I blow $300? (Maybe $700) Links are nice

suspension

x2. celicas are made to be nimble and light.

[mzztoyota]

got the jdm tails already (lucky me )

hmm...where to start? I've never owned anything where I spent money on suspension...(see above).

I'm gonna go meander around the suspension forum...keep 'em coming

id say just buy the bumper and get it painted to match

eh...maybe...the whole car could use a spray, though, it'd be nice to get it all done at once later down the line...

(I get about 3k from my school every semester in unused scholarship funds ~teehee~ ....see, it totally pays to be a NERD)

Theo Toddman? How old is he? Does he have a family here? If I don't know him I bet $100 that I know someone who does...

Did he used to work down at Hull Bay? There was an awesome guy there with greenish(?) dreads...haven't seen him around lately...

could be, dunno...but cool that you know a native of our tiny rock!

One upgrade (small-ish) I might suggest is new clear turns, and some clear sides. Your current clear turns are completely oxidized, and look weird. Also, if I were you I would not just have the front bumper painted -- if you use your paint code, the bumper will not match the rest of the car because of the paint fade over time. As far as painting, save up for a good paint job (for the whole car) that will last.

Oh yeah, thanks I'll look into those turn signals

Yeah, not painting the bunper by itself, the whole car needs a professional paint job, so I'm saving up to get a new bumper and do all of that one time...

[TaKtikal_6G]

well what kind of bumper do you want because i have a brand new invader front bumper if your looking for one of those that im willing to let go pretty cheap...

No no no don't waste too much time thinking about it. Just lower it and be done. Tein S-Techs.

[mzztoyota]

lol...no, can't lower the car here, I'd be flinstoning my a** to and fro after enough potholes had their way with my car...
