 Its actually my friends 98 celica GT, but since he doesnt know anything about it or much about cars in general, i joined on here because his car shares the same engine as my camry does so i know a few things... its in need of some real professional help... he bought the car for less than 5k, has dropped cut factory springs, factory shocks... the brakes master cylinder sounds like its failing and biting the dust, cheap exhaust tipped muffler with the factory intake cut in half with a crappy cone filter stuck on there with big fuel injectors, no idea what size but bigger than factory. what does everyone think of it? |

Why would he upgrade his injectors? It doesnt sound like he's controlling them with anything. And yeah, the paint is horrendous.

well, make sure that the clutch is fine..it is a decently old car n you dont know what kinda person was driving the celi..check for leaks, broken/failing pumps, belts, timing belt, gaskets, (leak down test for headgasket, visual expection of valve cover gasket) brakes!, (check pads/rotors for wear)
doesnt really have to check the headgasket, just what i would do cuz i have bad luck with em..people charge alot for these things sometimes :\ just check everything, make sure its running fine, and then he can see what he can do to upgrade n modify. if he's fine with the paint, he can wait, or he can just sand it down and flat black that baby  is he on the forums yet? -------------------- Pandelica 2.0 in progress. |

He really should join the forum if he wants to know about his car. 9 times out of 10, the convertible top wont work anymore electronically. It's a common problem on the convertibles, but has an easy fix. The previous owner seemed to have no idea what they were doing with the car, but it seems like nothing terribly unreversible was done to the car, so that's a good sign. So tell your friend good luck with the car and hope it has a better life with him. --------------------  |
