Hey guys,
I recently bought a '94 celica GT. I found it at a local Toyota dealership with under 100k miles on it. I actually even talked them down to low blue book as well! The car is completely cherry, not a scratch or ding on it. It was owned and operated by a lady in her mid 40's as a weekend car and probably was never taken over 3500 rpms. From what I can tell, this thing is as close to finding one brand new (at least in my area) as you can get. So I got my beloved celica home, and ended up finding this site. One of the reasons why I love the older 94-99 celica's is for their styling. A mixture of an integra and a supra, which are both cars that I like the looks of. After searching through these forums however, I learned about the GT-4s, where my cupholders are (yeah, couldn't find them) along with many other interesting topics. However that leads me to my actual question. Since all of you not only have owned or do own a 6th gen celica, what tasteful mods do you recommend? I LOVE the stylings of the GT-4, but I find it useless to put a bunch of exterior mods on a car that is only pushing out ~130hp, and in all honesty, when I want to break 160mph I just jump on my '97 suzuki gsxr 750. In any event, it's still much quicker then my last car - a '91 4runner 4x4 So let me know what you guys think. I found the GT-4 hood on ebay, along with the spoiler risers and some other misc. stuff. I do understand that trying to find a decent shape and decent price body kit for this thing will be a headache, but that's where I'm hoping some of the senior members here can step in. Like I said, I'm looking to do tasteful mods, and if anyone has something lying around I might be interested in taking it off of your hands. As you can see, Betsy is in magnificent shape. I love her to death. I lucked out even more since this one has EVERYTHING you could have asked for; the ABS package, Leather seats, etc. Thanks for the help, -TC This post has been edited by razor7: Jul 28, 2008 - 3:04 AM -------------------- Live your life for yourself.

Sounds like you have a good plan for going about mods. I'm kinda in the same boat as you in regards to the bike and the car. I have an R1 though. Besides the power commander it really doesn't need much else. It makes 178 horsepower right out of the box so I'm not going to mess with it. That leaves my folding money for the car.
I got my tC rims off craigs list for less than I could put new tires on my old rims. Your tastes may vary though. If you have the premium 8 speaker stereo you're going to have all sorts of fun taking all that out and hooking up a decent system. It's not difficult but when I did mine I had both seats and the center console out. I decided to work on the interior stuff first. It's less expensive and most of it's small stuff that I can do in an afternoon. Besides the rims I haven't done anything to the outside. |
