6G Celicas Forums

Ok....sooo....I know it's a bit late for me to start it but might as well do it now. Lol. I bought my 1997 Toyota Celica GT for $4,500 on February 27, 2012. It had 175,000 miles on the cluster. It was in very good condition. The only problem I had on it was it had a CEL light on. Which was just the speed sensor in the cluster not working. Replaced that and the CEL was cleared. Also my car didn't pass emissions test but I eventually had that fixed after running on premium and Lucas Cleaner. Overall I was more than happy to pay the overpriced $4500.

The rest of my plans for my car is to get it repainted and installed with the gt4 splitters. I want to go wit the Supra Limited Edition Silver code 1B9. I also want to get a custom exhaust. I really want the JDM projectors also. We will see what else will be added onto my list as days goes by. Lol. Also I'm planning to keep my silly FOREVER!!! XD

Finally waxed my car with premium turtle wax. Last time I waxed my baby was last Novemberish. Lol.

Nice vid!

Thanks!

Dang bro that's alot of work...I see your from Fresno California...Correct me if I'm wrong...your Hmong I'm guessing?

I'm actually from Hanford, Ca but I just put Fresno because it's the closest major city and im there once a week. Yeap im Hmong. Hence why I always head out to Fresno. Lol.

That's a nice Celica you got tho, it's really clean. Never seen it around Fresno when I was still living around there. I'm working on my project (ST205 Front Clip) right now planning to get a new paint job and rust repair on mines, but first I'm going have to do a whole swap with the front clip I just bought.

I'm usually around the north side of Fresno. Over by the Fresno Manchester Mall.

Got my Magnaflow 14829 exhaust installed along with 2.25" piping today. Going to post pics tomorrow or the day after whenever I have time. Sounds nice. Not loud or raspy.

pics!!

Finally some pics but not trying to get perfect shots. Just shots to show. Lol. It's a Magnaflow 14829. 2.25" inlet and 4" Slant cut tip. It's not them ugly rice rocket canisters either. It still has that oem look to it. One thing I like the most about it. Lol. Noise level is just about perfect. It'll be loud only when I hit pass 4k and flooring it. I also did notice less torque in the low end but much better torque in the high end. Especially when I hit around 4.6kish-5kish. I've only floored it in first gear. Well here's a couple pics.

Got the muffler off eBay auction for $100 shipped. Custom piping for $110. Total of $210 exhaust setup. Pretty good IMO.

Looks very good!

nice and subtle!

Thanks.



Thanks Tiga. It is very subtle for me. For it has that oem muffler oval shape.

very nice vid

Thanks.

I have the urge to put a potato in your tip.

Well at least when I start smelling fries while driving. I'll know why. Haha.

Sort of like mine, Got mine for $250 Installed Included Muffler, Piping and tip

mine would've ended up being 280 if it wasn't for that lucky auction. Lol. What kind of muffler is yours anyways? Looks nice.
