1994 Toyota Celica GT 2.2L 5SFE Automatic Coupe

This Celica has been my wife's daily driven car for a few years now and she has absolutely loved it and doesn't want to let it go, but the time has come to get something bigger! This Celica has been rock solid though. We have never had any issues bring us down and have done all the typical maintenance including timing belt/water pump, various gaskets, new distributor cap, and routine oil changes. The steering rack and sunroof glass were replaced at Toyota. This is the same car pictured in the Megan Racing coilover thread I've had going for awhile now. Have lots of paperwork including manual and window sticker. Has approx 185k-190k miles and promising for much more. Power windows, mirrors, sunroof, keyless entry, alarm, etc work.

The paint on the hood, rear fender flares, and side skirts is a DIY spray can job - nothing fancy. The hood is bent/dinged up in places as the previous owner had the latch break sending the hood into the windshield, sunroof, and roof. The windshield was replaced when we got the car, we replaced the sunroof glass (still perfectly functional) and the roof has a dent between the sunroof and windshield. The hood is secure and we have never had any issue with the latch. The rear right quarter panel had/has some rust under the fender flare. It was sanded out a bit and bondo'd up, then the quarter was DIY spray canned as well. The paint/body is really the only downside on this car but is in pretty good shape overall. Though it could use some work, it still looks good on the street. You can see the condition in the photos. There are a few typical dents/dings. I believe the worst is the bottom left rear near the rear bumper, other dents/dings are more typical size.

Currently no pics of BOTH Cipher seats installed, but BOTH are installed.
Will get news pics added soon.


My best attempt at a mod list, but there has been a lot done to this car so it could be incomplete
We have put $3k+ into this car in upgrades and preventative work!
- Veilside Style Side Skirts
- VHT Nightshade Painted Front Bumper Marker Lights
- GlowShift DIN Panel Pod w/ GlowShift Oil Press, Oil Temp, and Volt Gauges
- Calipers Painted
- Engine Cover Painted
- Painted Strut Brace
- "TRD" logo Oil Cap
- Custom Sound System in Trunk (8" Rockford Sub and MTX Thunder Amp in custom enclosure)
- Windows Professionally Tinted w/ Certification Seals
- Short/Sport Antenna
- Hawk Brake Pads
- Cipher Auto Racing Seats and Brackets (factory seats were trashed and in really bad shape)
- Rear Fender Trim (Painted Black)
- Eibach Camber Bolts (2 Sets in Rear)
- Upgrade Spark Plug Wires
- Megan Racing Street Series Coilovers
- Rota 17"x8" Torque Wheels w/ BFG G-Force T/A KDW Tires
- Injen Air Intake (still have original intake w/ an HKS filter in it too!)
- Voltage Stabilizer
- Exhaust Flex Pipe and Exhaust Intermediate Pipe
- Hi-Flow Catalytic Converter (Magnaflow IIRC)
- HKS Carbon-Ti Muffler (Got it on the forums here!)
- Performance Header
- VR3 VR500CS-BT Head Unit
- Silver and Carbon Fiber Look Racing Pedals
- Carbon Fiber Dash Kit
- Carbon Fiber Gauge Cluster Bezel
- White LED Cluster Lights (Looks Awesome!!)
- Upgraded all Headlights, Tail Lights, Blinkers, Reverse Lights, License Plate Bulbs, etc
- Practically New Black Cloth Floor Mats from Pep Boys
- Black Pinstriping

I am considering the sound system and wheels to be "optional" parts. Car will come with either OEM Celica, Subaru Forester, or Subaru WRX wheels (our choice) if you opt not to get the Rotas. If opt not to get sound system, most wiring will remain but enclosure/sub/amp will not.

Not in a real hurry to sell and feeling things out. Feel free to ask questions. Let me know what you guys think.

Posting on AutoTrader soon.

just FYI, if you wonder why this car dont get many inquires around here..its only worth ~ 2500...and thats with it being in excellent condition.

95% of the things on your list actually take value away for the average buyer.

what are "upgraded ignition wires"? you can really get better than oem for a stock car...
i dont really see anything that would add value to the car, to be honest.

Thanks for the advice! Your posts are always much appreciated!
As I said I was feeling it out and I knew this was the place to go!
Once I get comfortable with pricing I will likely be selling locally on craigslist, AutoTrader, etc.
