Hope the tittle was an attention getter. I just bought my first 6th gen today which is a 96 GT liftback 5spd. I hope to gain more knowledge through this forum. I already own a Celica but a 7th gen. Pictures will be up later.

lets see. you start off by saving $5000 for an GT4 front and rear clip. You spend another $3,000+ rebuilding your engine to withstand said horsepower. You should convert to AWD so that you'll actually hook. And factor in about another $2-3 grand to do the AWD swap, extend harnesses, and etc etc etc. If you do most of the work yourself, it'll save you a decent amount of money. Just look through some of the build threads on here.

ok next you need to get a MKIV supra. and then an All-Trac, then you will have a collection like i do.
i suggest getting the GT4 bumper and hood. dont bother with a 3S-GTE swap. just turbo the 5S  or you can swap in a V6. i have done all of these on mine.

theres tons of info here, so you will be able to find it in the stickies pretty easy. At least you already have the facelift bumper and fogs.
