My Celica, what to do... what to do Options

[Rusty]

I have a 1996 Celica SSII ST202 3S-GE its pretty much stock,low Km's (60,000Km cert) however it has... a HKS Pod filter (excellent sounding vaccum in 2nd & 3rd), Alpine 6.5" in the back, alloys, new battery, clear lights (low/park and fog)

just wanting to know what to do with it.. just asking for ideas











^thats the old battery


thats the dyno I did the other week, can't figure that dip out since it doesn't have vvt-i (the guy said thats when your v-tec comes on..??)

Oh and about running on 91. According too a car specifications site, 3rd gen 3S-GE's should be run on 95 or higher. I've always run it on 95 or 98 if I'm feeling rich lol. Runs pretty **** on 91.

I run mine on 91, but am currently running it on 98 thanks to a 20c/l fuel docket . There is a difference but it doesn't seem to be that big (mainly smoother acceleration).

I'm in a similar position, 1996 SS-II that's pretty much stock (has the skirts and a Tom's front lip though...it's a tad cracked underneath from evil judder bars but you can't see it without sticking your head down there ), just thinking of what I should do to her. NZ FTW .

Regarding your dyno curve, methinks that is the ACIS switching over from low to high as I experience the exact same thing at the same point when driving it at high revs (hop on the motorway and floor it in second from low speed, you'll be able to feel it kick in at 4,500 to 5,500rpm)

One mod I will be doing shortly is getting some of these: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-135255856.htm if that gives you the idea/inspiration to do likewise. The orange indicators detract so much from the look

I'd been thinking of getting an HKS filter like that, but most places I've seen them they've cost the moon. Where'd you get it and how much did it set you back? (if you don't mind me asking)
