Hey all,
Just wanted to get the answer to a few questions that i dont think anyone i know can really answer  So let me start off with an intro. The names Justin and im about to buy a 1994, ST celica. Thats about it  Ive been reading alot about it, and checking out the how-to pages (which is an awesome resource) and what not but ive got a few more questions:1) The celica im looking at is approaching 300 000 km .. which is a TON. Does anyone have any idea of the cars approx. value ? Its in good condition besides that.. no rust, but i do need a bit of paint work... any ballpark would be awesome. 2) Im a poor student, but... i have alot of time on my hands and tools (i work in the trades), and am wondering what I should start doing to my car as soon as i get it. I know that sounds sort of ambigius... but i would like input for all aspects of the car. I've never owned a car before, and i know as soon as i get it, it will be my new time sink. If you still am confused as to my question... tell me what YOU would do as soon as you brought the car home... 3) My buddy (who obsesses over his *ahem* german car) asked about the number of valves.. i told him my engine said 16 valve ETI.... and then he started talking about how that was pretty good, and 2 for outtake, 2 for intake.. or something really confusing like that. What the HELL was he talking about! wow... that was a long post! Sorry if these questions are, well, newbish. I am new! Thanks  Justin -------------------- ----- '94 ST hatch --- Yellow ----- |

QUOTE What sort of mods are generally considered most popular ? Is there anything celica specific ? Again, i know its ambigous... i just sort of want to know what your favorite celica modding activites are. And i really like that KBB link, very useful. There is really not much out there for the Celica specifically, but a lot of things from the Corolla ('93-'97 I believe) 1.8L that can fit (I.E Camshaft gears, headers) with a little modification. If you want an exhaust system you are either going to have to search around EVERYWHERE to find a Greddy SP2 exhaust system, but if you aren't in to looking around then just buy a nice muffler (magnaflow for example) and take it to an exhaust shop and have them build you a 2.25" exhaust system.
