I'd go for a nice build of 6k on a 3sgte. Spend max of 1500 on 96+ bumper and nice paint. Last 2k spend on some random interior stuff and leave what's left in the bank for repairs or swap hiccups. Not too much or flamboyant to the exterior though. Just keep her a sleeper cause they already look like they should be fast lol

i think i'd take the v6 route. maybe the newer 1mz/3mz with vvti. projectors. new paint. wider wheels. interior re-upholstered in leather. window tint. replace steering wheel with newer 3-spoke. basically make the car feel and run like new.

unless you got money pouring out of your ears, 10K in a car is a bad move.

What Rayme said. I think if anyone were to ever spend 10 thousand on a car they should have the intent of building a show car. Now if its a daily driver I say bad move. I'd probably only put 5k into my car at one time. And that would go for the 3sgte swap.

I would put all the money into bringing over a RHD Celica Gt-Four. Why put all the money into a car that isn't the real deal when you can buy the real deal for less, and have a perfect car.
![]() if not a Gt-Four, I would build a replica or either buy an SS-III This post has been edited by NapTown94: Jan 13, 2008 - 10:57 PM |
