Why wait till your older? I started when I was 17, Autocrossing is a great way to start. I had a 97 ST as well, Handling is what the Celica is for. For some added 'umph' get a custom catback exhaust, 2.25 or 2.5 inch piping with a Magnaflow muffler. Throttle body spacers will do Jack Nothing to your car. As for header there really isn't a OTS product for the 7AFE.
I will agree with playr, play with your suspension. A custom set of Ground Control and adjustable struts will make your Celica more fun to drive. Power isnt everything especially if your starting platform is the ST. |
