6G Celicas Forums

been on here off and on for the last couple weeks since i recently got the car. its a 96 25th aniversary with the 1.8 liter "torqueless wonder" engine. can't complain too much since i picked up the car from a co worker for $700. got the car because i got in an accident where my srt 4 was totalled and i'm still fighting with the insurance company to get it covered.

i'm not really familiar with the celica, as it is my first, but i had a toyota back in high school and loved it (1980 toyota tercel hatch FTW!!). i look forward to talking with some of you guys and hopefully i can learn a few things about the celica from you guys. as far as the car goes, not really looking onto investing much in the car. maybe a few things like a k&n drop in filter, strut bars and possibly sway bars, new tires, new battery, maybe new spark plug wires, but over all, not much. gonna leave it as a commuter car and take it to a couple rallyx events till i get something nicer. of course since the car is so good on gas, i'll keep it even after i get another quicker car.


the first two pics are the most recent. i painted the wheels black cause before they were all tarnished/rusted and looked like ass. i think the car looks way way better. now i just need to paint the calipers and drums. also need to get the rally lights i have setting in my room put on.















oh yeah, and the string that was holding up the headlight in the last pic has since been fixed.....it now has adjustable zip ties....FTW!
