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 tongue.gif)

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 biggrin.gif

I know you're talking about the BEAMS VVT-i engine for the MR2 but it's not the one I have, I checked. It actually suprised everyone when it dyno'ed ~200hp every time. I was told I have the fastest non-turbo MR2 around here :lol: - Too bad I had to sell it frown.gif

The Celica is quite fast for an auto but I don't really care about it's performance. I just wanna make it kinda beefier no matter what it is smile.gif

I like to make it look good than drive fast. If I wanted something fast, I'd go with a GT4 biggrin.gif

Edit: I already have some "points" in my licence book and I'm on the edge. Can't risk a fast car biggrin.gif hehehe
