Hello, some of you may know me some may not. I've been active on this site regularly after I discovered it. This site is by far the best reference guide for our celica's and everyone tries to help you out with any issue you may have! So far the experience has been great. Well time to properly introduce my self. My name is John Matthew Krenisky but I go by Mat. I'll tell you how I ended up with my celica and why I choose this car than you'll see the sexy beast and ill update it from there lol. Anyways I have had at least 25 cars in the last 5 years. I am currently 24, my first car was a WV Fox 91 5 speed I paid 400$ and ran the hell out of it... I mean why not, I put 16k miles on it and sold it for 500$ and never even changed the oil lol. 2nd car was a 91 celica gt that was near mint. I loved it but someone offered me 500$ more than what I paid so I said hear ya go take it... Than it just got out of hand... from there it went to intergra gsrs, honda del sols, swapped civics, preludes, miata you name it... I lost tons on my del sol... but I paid 700$ for a chevy cav and sold it for 1600 I think. Well I got sick and tired of going thru cars left and right and I wasn't easy on any of them. I ran them all to hell and back. Ran the miata so hard the under the hood started smoking so bad it wasn't even funny. Smoke was rolling out.. I gave it all she had and it was 20 years old.. So after owning 4 cars at once I went down to 1 and sometimes down to zero if someone offered me the right price i'd sell my only car lol. I'd just have my gf or whoever give me a ride back and forth to work or to where ever to get another car. Well I wanted one nice car to settle with and I always loved toyota. I loved my mr2 it was also mint shape its just the transmission went to hell so i sold it/traded for a 2002 jeep lol. So finding a good 20 year old car is almost impossible now a days. I love cars from the 90's.. its when I was born plus they actually had quality control and the cars are made so much better and look way better. So after searching craigslist well my gf at the time she found one super nice celica in Tennessee but the trip there and back was over 1000 miles... Well this guy talked her into taking me. It wasn't easy haha I did pay for everything and even a zoo trip in virgina. Anyways 5 states later we got my celica! 100% rust free under n over it. Only issue I had was it had 162k miles and a weak clutch and he wouldn't go below 3200$... But whenever you want something nice you got to pay the price! So I got it... since I have had it I have done quiet a few things to do! You'll see all that here in a min but on the flip side I have never thought about getting rid of it... Even had an offer of a 2003 jetta and 800$ for my celica I told him to keep on walking.

Now its hard to put a name to someone without a face so here comes a selfie. I mean I thought it was a good idea haha. No judging I am a sexy beast just like my car.. haha j/k

Now here is my rear of my car. Notice the tail lights are all red. I got them from a member on this site for 98$ I think it was a steal. I don't know how tons of people like the JDM taillights... I think they are so ugly... The solid red ones are muchhhhh better haha. People ask me about them even.

My celica's interior I love it. I did order a Celica gt4 wheel from a member on the site. I am still waiting to get it in the mail. The current steering wheel is totally killing my car lol

Whats a good car without a kick butt system! I have roughly 1500$ worth of audio equipment in my celica. Pioneer double din, 2 amps one for subwoofer, and one for my door speakers. I have NVX componets 6.5 in front and 6.5 in rear... heads up go for 5 1/4th for rears... I had to alter my rear and cut plastic ect for my 6.5s... I have NVX 12 inch sub in a sealed box. I do have a 1.75 CF ported box tuned to 32hz but it rattles my entire car to the point where I went with a cheap sealed box for now haha. I have an alpine 500 rms monoblock amp to power the sub. Nvx is an amazing product! I've had more systems than I can count and this new nvx stuff is amazing. company just came out a few years ago. Its almost as good as sundown. I have NVX 4 Gauge amp wiring kit its also amazing. Only one thing can produce better than copper and that is silver... NVX silver tins every single copper wire for best results... 100% amazing stuff. Running SX battery 1200D I think it was 250$... Stock battery couldn't handle all the power for my car. Its not a ghetto thump bass I mean I can make it if I want too.

24.7k window sticker price for my celica.

I also put new rims as seen in pictures.. Konig Lighting 16x7 with falkin 612+ tires, brand new trd springs with kyb struts. Didn't notice a drop at all but handles better than stock. Next round I am going with koni struts... Kyb are alright but koni yellows is a better choice. I added the carbon fiber shift knob it was 50$, I did add a ralco rz short shifter (its amazing) and also did new shifter bushings. I am sure I am forgetting stuff but I can always update this lol.
