Clean Slate Options

[olaHalo]

Ive had my celica for a few months now, and ive saved up about 1500 hundred dollars and want to go all out with my car. i was told that i should lower it first, then put an exhaust. i pretty much have an unmodified car except for an intake. what should i do first?

I would say first lower. should come out to be around $400 if you do the work yourself.

If you want better handling, go for a S-Tech sway bar kit at the same time, should be around $300

Then I would say do a basic lip kit, I would go for some stock sides and some front and rear spliters if ya can find them at a good price. That might run up to $1000 painted,with you mounting them and putting them on.

As for performance. I think you will be wasting money, unless you do an engine swap. I havnt seen to many mods that make a worth while improvment.

Oh I forgot, a short shifter. a TWM will run about $150 i think, or a 7th gen ebay one will run about $45
