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 |

Welcome!!
If you do have the 3sge, since its a 95 it will only have 177 hp and no vvti. Your MR2 3sge has vvti i bet. That difference will change the red line, so i wouldnt go by that. Does you car have any badging? like ss-I or ss-II? Does it have front or rear exentions? these things can clue you in on what model you have and thus what engine you have. For your sake, lets hope its the 3sge -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |
