So about 2 months ago I Bought a 97 GT liftback. It is my 3rd Toyota(hence the username) I have a 93 Corolla that I have recently had a bunch of paint and body work done to a 96 Corolla and now my 97 GT

So far my plans are to beef it up a little bit. Mostly by just unclogging it


what I've done so far:
KYB GR-2 all the way around
Slotted and drilled rotors
Ceramic Pads
New Valve Cover gasket (painted black while I had it off cleaning
New oil pan Gasket
Thorough cleaning of the engine and bay( still not quite satisfied will most likely make another pass)
Weapon R Dragon series SRI
Functional Sharkfin Antenna conversion
Reverse Glow Gauges (Black Face)
7th Gen short throw with a black suede blue stitch boot
17" Enkei Performance GW8 wheels
Twin piston calipers from a 94 camryV6

Future plans Include:
High Flow cat
High Flow cat delete/resonator
Dual exhaust
Will probably use a set of aftermarket side mirrors with LED turns built in
Projectors in lows and highs with Amber led strips for turns inside the housings. Going to go through the retrofit source for the projectors
Pakfiefer skirts and rear
Most likely an invader style front bumper
