Im new here and I need more performance, 94 Celica ST Hatchback 86,000 miles. Options

[aEr]

Hi Everybody,

I just purchased a used 94 Celica ST Hatchback with 86,000 for $5,000(I also have a 99 Pontaic Grand Am V6). I have read throughout the website and I noticed that there arent to many parts for my engine, but the parts that I did see had no links to websites that provide these parts. I already have the Dolecek Dr.CAI, and Jet reprogrammed chip(after mods) on my "Need to Buy List", but I also want to get an exhaust system and headers. What exhaust system will give me the most power gains and that is also legal in California? I dont really care about the sound but the deeper the better.

I think the Dolecek exhaust system is not legal in California. I know that Greddy makes an exhaust system for the GT but will that fit on an ST also?

I also want to purchase some heads but all the posts I've read have no links and no pricing. Can someone give me link where I can find some headers for my ride?

Sorry for all the questions, but Thanks!. PEACE.

Sup Nate, Im in Ventura County in So Cali. Thanks, 97sccelica. I was actually looking at the nitrous kit they have for this car and it looks tempting. I guess im not going to have the fastest automatic ST on this site since I dont really want to spend thousands more on the turbo especiall if it has to be a custom made turbo kit. I guess I'll just have to do with CAI, Exhaust, Headers, Reprogrammed ECU and some good ol nitrous. I hope that that will at least put me in low 15 or high 14 in the quarter mile. I would definitely add a turbo but do you think the transmission would be able to handle all that extra power, also including all the other mod's except the nitrous? I also cannot add a turbo because im going to me a 99-01 Subaru Impreza RS 2.5 and turbo the hell out of that car so im kinda trying to save some money. But you never know.

dont forget to do some fuel delivery work on the car. if you want to run nitrous reliably and safely, it is a must that you make sure your engine never goes lean.

and im not really sure with our cars but generally you change the fluid at around 70k miles. or when it starts looking dirty.

and why not a wrx? what is the price difference between a used 2.5rs and a used wrx?

i plan to do something like that. one of my dad's oldest friends works at miller mitsubishi as a sales manager. he keeps saying a lot of good things about the evo8 to my dad, and my dad actually likes the car.

"Anthony, is this car faster than your car?"

"Dad, this car will run circles around my car in the 1/4 mile and still be faster"

my dad is planning on getting a new car in about 5-6 months, so by then the dealer mark up on the car will be gone and he woll get his friend some commision.

oh and the best part is, he doesnt want to drive a new car to work, which means he will take my car and i get his car during the week till he retires in a year.
