Hi everyone. I just bought me a 94 Celica ST auto tranny yesterday. It is the girlish terquise color but since this is a used car and my daily driver I am fine with it. This is by means not my first Toyota at all. I also own an 86 MR2 with a silvertop 4age in it. I have also owned an 81 celica GT(build a 20R/22R hybrid for it), 86 Corolla SR5, 83 Celica GT, 84 Celica, GT and two 2nd gen camrys. Also I have a bachlors degree in automotive from Pittsburg State University and used to be a Toyota certified technician before I decided to get another bachlors(this one in business). My dad is a parts manager at a Toyota dealership and has sold Toyota parts for 32 years. So I pretty much grew up around Toyotas. As for me I am a 26 year old who has been married for 8 months now and we are trying to get pregnant. I just started back to school at the University of Arkansas and am pursuing a degree in business finance. As for the Celica it has 209K on it and I am the third owner of it. The person I bought it from has all the records he did to it while he owned it. The interior is in almost perfect condition with a couple of minor things. He did put a full walmart stereo system in it so last night I already ordered a new head unit and speakers from crutchfield. I am just hoping that he didn't butcher up the wires too bad but oh well it just determines how much wiring I have to do so that still isn't too bad. the other plans I have for the car are to just get a K&N or TRD drop in filter, probably remove the cat(dont have emissions testing here in Arkansas so I can get away with it). Then I am going to get some TC wheels, lower the car with some Tein S tech springs, and a factory spoiler and that is pretty much it. I really want to do a manual tranny conversion and then swap in a 20V 4age but my wife is making me keep it an auto for a few years. As for my Mr2 it is getting built right now for some soloII running. I am in SM2 class so I really need to give the motor some more power. right now it is just a stock ST 20V with no cat and an HKS exhaust. However, I am in the process of converting to a blacktop ECU so I can put some velocity stacks on it and get rid of the AFM. Also I am about to order some Toda cams, springs and gears and get a TRD metal head gasket. It also has Suspension techniques springs and Tociko struts and I am also about to order a high and tight rear sway bar and Twosrus rear tie rods. Along with that it has 15" Kosei K1' wheels with goodyear eagle F1 tires. Anyways here are a couple of pictures of both of my cars:

Planning is the easy part along with putting the parts on the car. The hard part is getting the money to get those parts to make the plan come together. I did decide to go with TRD springs instead of Tein S techs and will have them this saturday when I go to my college alumni basketball game and see my parents. My dad put them in order today and so he should get them in friday. So probably the week after that I will have the springs on the car(can't do it until a friday). -------------------- img]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a32/MtyMseHarmer/captainsignature2.jpg[/img]
