Whats up all?, introduction Options

[92-gt]

Hey y'all I am new here, I have been a member of celicatech for a while now, and decided that since my dad and I are possibly picking up a 6th gen this weekend that I may as well join up here.

My name is Ryan, I am from IN, and I own a 1992 Celica GT hatch. I love celicas, and have been into imports in general since I grew an interest in cars around the time I was able to walk.

We are going this weekend to look at a 1994 Celica GT hatch 5sp. It is black, has around 190k on it, but has been maintained at the Toyota dealership. It has just had a tune-up, new timing belt, and new tires.

There are a couple of small dents behind the passenger door, and no rust.

The only problem is that it pops out of 3rd gear. I am not too familiar with the s54 transmission, but if any of y'all have an idea on what could cause that, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks
Ryan

Well, here is what I am wanting to do to it....

-new transmission,clutch,throw out bearing, resurfaced flywheel
-intake
-header, possibly a full exhaust, nothing too loud because I dont like the loud ricer sound

-repair the dents
-gt-4 front bumper or front lip
-gt-4 side skirts
-gt-4 rear lip
-spoiler risers
-paint door jambs, engine bay, and underside of the hood
-repaint the entire car metallic black

-nice set of rims

The previous owner repainted it black, it was originally red. Well, to give you an idea of how crappy the paint job is...

-he taped off around the license plate(WTF)
-he didnt use primer, and didnt sand it down before painting
-it is chipping off around the window seals and a few other places.


I dont mind the paint job though, because at least its a ten footer right now.

But it does give me something to do and work on, because my 5th gen is pretty well done..

I cant wait to start on it.

Here are a few pics I took with my cell phone a little bit after I got home.






In one of the pics you can see my 5th gen.
