So here's my Celica as she stands now:
 And when I got her, nearly 6 years ago at 139,000 miles:  She's a 1994 GT. Fully stock when I bought it(wheels aside). Perfectly clean. Never been in an accident. Now it's got whited out JDM Tails, ST Suspensions sway bars, new Konig wheels and Megan Racing coilovers. A few weeks ago I started getting some possible signs of a broken head gasket. So, I decided to dive in and do something that I've been wanting to do for a while. So, today I got:  .Gaskets are on their way. I've already got a new clutch and some motor mounts. New cluster is on it's way too. Just setting to work on electrical until then! -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne

Running wise, it seems to have improved. I drove ~100 miles today with no running issues except...
Cooling. The temp sensor is really jumpy, and it doesn't seem as though the system is getting pressurized. So I'll check that. It seems to do fine temperature wise, and then jump around every so often. Leads me to think maybe radiator or something - which I should probably replace anyway since mine is pretty old and non-OEM. -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne
