Hello all,
just bought a silver '95 Celica JDM (but it's auto unfortunately). It had lame OZ Racing WRC rims but I replaced them with 9-spoke BSA 17x7 alloys and used 215/45 Firestones on them. Now the car has some minor dents/scratches to be repaired next week but I was wondering if you could tip me off about things I should do to improve its looks and make it drive a bit sportier. Nothing fancy tho. I already trimmed some interior vinly parts in black with a special spray (the box between seats and cup holder tray) because they were worn. I'm planning for a Pioneer DEH-7600MP, good speakers and console painted silver like the car etc. Exterior and interior styling I know what to do but I'm clueless about performance and engine bay styling. Any tips? How do you make the engine bay look clean and neat ? And what can I add to my engine to make it dish out a bit more horsepower ? I have a 3S-FE engine i think (even if there's a metal label on it saying 3S-GE/3S-FE I'm 60% sure it's a 3S-FE cause I have a manual MR2 with a 200hp 3S-GE and it doesn't have the same redline ![]() BTW it already has an exhaust system and muffler fitted (sounds deeper but not a stupid noise-maker) And this is my first true post so hey all ![]() This post has been edited by spawn: Apr 21, 2005 - 7:05 PM |

I assume the red line your refer to is the rev counter - if that's the case it's probably different as it's an auto. What mods did you do to the MR2 to get 200bhp?
