Well, after joining the military, I had to regrettably sell my old Celica:
![]() I was heartbroken as I lover her dearly. Thankfully though, I was lucky enough to be stationed in Okinawa, Japan; where Celicas abound! So I was blessed with the luck of finding me a 1998 SS-II with the beams motor with only 78000 km. (that's only 48500mi) The car came pretty loaded with power folding mirrors, auto climate control, and the automatic has a performance setting (holds gears longer and downshifts quicker) or a manual setting in which the auto shifter acts like a clutch-less manual. (Keep the stick in 2nd and it will stay there, even when stopped and then starting forward.) I am slowly playing with it and going to change and mod but at the moment I am having a blast driving it around (it's hella fast). Any suggestions as to what I should do would be openly greeted! Enjoy! ![]() ![]() ![]()

The intake is listed as a 96-99 Toyota 4runner v6. Everything fits nicely but the silicon tube from intake to TB is too small on one end. You will need to get a straight 3" silicon tube to fit perfectly. As for the idle, it has been on for 2 months now and no problems. It does idle a little high at start-up but lowers after the engine warms up. Do note that it sounds loud when you step on it, I've caught quite a few people looking at me oddly when i drive by since I still have the stock quiet exhaust on there and the intake whooshes.
