Advice on performance..., How to spend 2-3 grand wisely Options

[rudeboy3d]

I'll be getting a 6th gen GT soon, with headers on it and a CAI in a box with it. It also has a Stage One clutch in it. I'm wondering what is the best way to go about upping the overall performance (power, suspension) and look (interior and exterior). I have a TRD short shifter for it, and I was thinking about either springs or coilovers (don't know, advice?) and definitely an exhaust. I also was going to put some GT-4 spoiler blocks on it, to enhance the look. The tint job isn't the best, but that's not a need, in my oppinion. I was wondering what some of you people have done to your cars and gotten the best results, both performance and styling.

Not looking for a show car, and not looking to turbo (I have an All-Trac already), just something to make it a little sportier and fun to drive. This will be my daily driver, so I don't want to dump a ton of money into it, nor do I want to make it a show car. I like the lines of the 6th gen, especially the GT-4.


Its got JDM tails on it and reverse indiglo gauges already. I am just wanting to hear some ideas. I've tried looking through all the parts available but only a few have feedback from people, which is what I was interested in. Sorry for the lack of order in this post.


Bottom line, what have you guys and gals done that you have been pleased with and what have you done that you have been displeased with?

Let me know, thanks. :-)

As far as dumping money into the All-Trac, I was thinking on fixing some rear fender rust and then a new BOV maybe, and new tires then selling it... or... purposely brake checking someone, total the car, take the engine, and swap it......

into the 6th gen...





lol. I just think that would be funny. Seriously though, I was just gonna take care of the rust and toss new tires on it and sell it.



I have a van too, that I want to sell. I just want an N/A Celica thats sporty enough for weekend drives but is still driveable as a daily driver.


If I ever thought about an engine swap, it would prolly be a 3SGE, but those are rare from what I understand. I like the 6th gen, but its more a styling thing. The bug eyes bother me, but I do like the interior a lot more than the 5th gen. They are essentially the same car, but oh so different. I dunno. Continue on with the good mods and the bad, I'm very intrigued.
