Hello all. I just purchased a stock 94 GT with 120k for $3,500 this past weekend. It's my first 5 speed, so i've been driving really slow, learning slowly. My last car was a 96' nissan sentra GXE stock, so my new celica has really amazed me. I'm 22 years old, a Cal Poly Pomona computer science senior.
When it comes to cars, I've changed my head gasket, oil, spark plugs, exhaust manifold, and starter, but thats about it; definetly not very car savy. Anways my real question is what mods would you pros recommend for a poor college student? I also would like to avoid mods that might decrease the longitivity of my ride, since it's gota last me at least 4 years until I graduate from grad school. I was thinking maybe a CIA, an ECU, white halogen headlights, maybe an exhaust system. Some recommended to me venom and jetchip. I'm looking to gain a few hp and at some style. I'm looking forward to finally being able to outrun those damn pesky civics. Any feedback would be greatly appricated. |

For the headlights, i would Definatly recommend Sylvania Silverstars. They tent not to last too long, but they look nice. They are brighter then the standard halogen, and white light instead of yellow. You can also do the 9006 (Low Beam) to 9005 (High Beam) bulbs in the low beam socket, adds a nice amount of light, while not blinding people since the low beam lights point down more.
