I drive a 94 ST. 84k miles, excellent shape. But im tired of its sluggishness. I always have the damn thing slowed. But thats nothing new with people who have 6g's. Anyways. My shocks are blown (Lowered 2.5" inches, stock shocks, 18" rims). I knew it would happen. So im gonna buy Koni Yellows - 600$
And this summer im going to send my car to XAT Racing for the 3rd gen swap w/ custom exhaust, etc(6500$). Should i get the fuel management they offer (1400$). Also, just wondering, where can you find turbo upgrades, and basic aftermarket parts for the 3sgte? Instead of selling my car and buying a 3000GT VR4, which i probably should do, the love for my celica is to great. Btw, i sold the bimmer. |

nice choice on further modifying the celi. if I'm not mistaken you also had a evo at some point right?
I don't have any advice regarding your swap but I would suggest you go with a full coilover rather than the koni/coilover combo. the ride while improved over blown shocks is still pretty harsh and the price is not much more for a set of teins. had the teins been out when I got my set I would have definetly dished out the extra 200 dollars .. my 2 cents |
