I got another celica!, I'm back Options

[6strngs]

Hi all, I'm not sure who is still here from when I had my other 6gc, but I just picked up another 95 yesterday, which makes this my 4th celica, and my 3rd white celica Here's a couple refresher pics of my old 6th gen, maybe someone will remember those better than my description of it:
First it was stock:

Then it got turbo'ed


Then the engine blew up

Then it got a used engine and a paint job, shortly before selling it


Now the new car:







It's got 175K miles on it, but only about 60K on the engine. I bought it from the second owner who has had it since 1999, making me the 3rd owner of this garage kept and well maintainted celica. I counted only one small ding in the whole car! My plans as of right now is just to make it even more aesthetically pleasing, it's going to be my daily driver so I don't think I'll do anything too crazy, but perhaps a beams swap down the road... So what do you guys think

I'm going back to school so I'm selling my WRX and needed something cheaper, cheaper on insurance, better on gas, yet still a good looking car that I could pick up a date in Plus I've missed mine ever since I sold it. I plan on keeping this one a long time

So the car had a JVC stereo in it when I got it, but it only had a front auxiliary port, I much prefer the kenwood that was in my WRX (which I think I actually originally had installed in my green 6gc, lol) because it has a USB port in the back so you can control the ipod through the unit and it charges your ipod while you drive. Also note the JDM air freshener, lol


Ipod mounted in the glove box:


Next the rear-view mirror of this car was broken and just flopped around so I went to the pick and pull yesterday but didn't find any mirrors off a 6th gen, so I grabbed one from a 5th gen which works, but looks slightly different. I kind of prefer the 6th gen one so I'll have to keep an eye out for one. Also, didn't notice that the one from the 5th gen was blue until I took these pictures, it looks much more grey in person/




Lastly, I installed some NGK plug wires. I'll probably pick up all the fluids, filters, spark plugs, and distributor cap and rotor at work tomorrow to finish the tune-up.
