Hey guys, so I'm new to the Celica community and have recently acquired my first Toyota.
I picked up a '95 Celica GT hatch for $3250 from a guy that bought it from a tow yard. Unfortunately, that means I don't know much of the history of the card, other than it had a clean carfax and he changed the front right strut out and gave me a right rear suspension part that he said I'd need to swap. The only real problem with the car right now, that I know of anyway, is that there's a loud clunk every time I unload that right rear side, like if I take a hard right turn. I suppose that's what the replacement part is for... I bought a new set of Bridgestone RE750's for it, and I'm planning to get the TRD lowering springs next. So far, from what I can tell, there's very little aftermarket support for 6th Gen GT's, particularly the 5SFE engine. I think only Hotshot makes a header, and it's $450+, and I haven't seen an exhaust, throttle body, or good CAI for it so far. Do those things exist for the 6th gen? In reading the forums here, it also sounds like there isn't much to be gained with bolt-ons on the 5SFE, so maybe I'm wasting my time trying to upgrade the engine and should stick to handling mods. What do you guys recommend? (other than "use the search feature", which I've done already. I haven't seen any real dyno sheets for exhausts, CAI's, etc) Thanks for any advice you have to offer, - Mike |
