96 Celica st Options

[sambo-12]

I've probably had my 96 Celica for almost two years, but haven't been able to work on it. This is my first time on a forum.


For the first 6 months i kept my car stock then this happened





hand to find a new axle, I liked my rims for the time being so I decided to buy another one (sears brand) because it broke in the accident and painted them black



and someone thought it would be funny to take my toyota emblem?



decided to get some HID's and a roof rack





Decided to instal my 12" subs


about 3 months ago i finally decided to put some money into my car and bought some new FRS rims



After that I went to get my fenders rolled


Took my car down to a shop to get my megan racing springs and stagg struts installed


Top pic is before and bottom is after, not much different, just 2"


I was loving how my car looked and drove, and have 35 percent tint and took off my spoiler





three days ago, with 170xxx miles my engine blew





yesterday I picked up an engine with only 5 miles on it, hopefully i have a chance to put it in this week

or a 2grfe and open a whole can of worms.

best thing to do now, is read, learn all your options. Hate for you to throw away a perfect engine, if its low miles. Because you wont sell it good. So you have some time. Who cares what your buddys car does. If all you want is to beat him, no engine swap is good for you. You need a car swap. Because you will always be power hungry, there is always another car that will be faster. than yours and that is a fact.

if you want to have some fun without a lot of hassle, a beams is good, but thats it, no more, no more modding and the power stops there.

1mz is another option to get a lot of power for less than a beams, requires more legwork.

the 2grfe, lol, never been done... wanna pioneer it?
