ASK yourself this. Do you want looks, Go or handling? If looks go with the jdm SS-III look or the majorities fav gt4 front end. but all of that will take a lot of the 4-5 g to do. You want suspension you're half way there. Since you have springs get some good struts, sway bars, front and rear strut bars, some sweet ass gram lights (which I wished I could afford) and some grip ass tires. You want power, 3s swap.


--------------------
98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
94 Celica st black DD (bad weather beater)- totaled deer
95 Celica gt silver- chassis sold
88 Celica All-Trac (Burned to a crisp)
94 Celica gt white (sold)

In need of a rust free chassis!!!!
