Hey 6gc, this is my first post.
Love the site and the people on it, so I just had to finally get on this thing.

I've been a member since I first started looking for my Celica, which is also my first car, as I always dreamed it would be.

She's a 99 Celica GT hatchback with 40906 miles at the time of purchase.
Silver with black leather interior, alloy wheels, 5 speed.
Bone stock, one owner.

The car has been sitting for the better part of 12 years.

Since transporting her home, I've gotten a full 60k service and tune, and installed brand new JDM taillights.

The only major flaws in the interior is a missing cover for the pocket under the CD player and some cracked leather on the shoulder of the driver's seat.
Here she is:










So, do I win some sort of record for this find? biggrin.gif

id find some nice rotors for your stock system,(i heard slotted rotors slice a thin thin layer off of brake pads to keep the glazing down,and can shorten pad life a little), as far as calipers i wouldnt worry about them right now unless of course one is sticking or piston is leaking, however you can buy some gt-four front brakes(need slight modifications) and put those on and be basicly the same as the trd's without the paint and price tag(your calipers can be painted!), but one good/bad thing about getting gt-four brake calipers is this...you have to upgrade your wheels at the same time..why? because factory gt wheels wont clear the calipers..they also run about 500usd for the fronts...good luck! and welcome to the site
