May purchase an 02 Celica GT tomorrow. It's a 5spd 98XXX miles and is a pleasure to drive. Any tippers on specific shit I should look out for on the car? Also, light mod ideas, I'm no riceboy but I like a personalized car

There was a problem with the alloys on some models. they rotted and peeled to shit, but the one in your pic has different alloys.

Also, a double-din pioneer touchscreen headunit in that car would look sweeeet.

It's factory rice and a girl car. You'll get made fun of no matter what you do to it.

Should be a decent buy. As far as light mods go, don't go too crazy. Especially if it's a daily driver, leave the suspension alone unless you wanna be uncomfortable and same for bigger wheels and low profile tires. I would keep it simple, maybe some window tint, couple of Fuck The Police stickers on the back window, then maybe some light stereo mods inside?

dude

it's a girl car.

If you're going to go down that road, at least get an RSX or something.

I'll admit though, it's kinda quick for an econobox.

Still a girl car though.

I'd be weary of it. I think 02 and before the 1zz engines (in the gt) had oil consumption problems.

Get an RSX, s if it's in your price range.

Factorry N/A 1.8 is rice? And I don't need a car to determine my gender
And I wasn't planning to do much with suspension and tires as I currently live in the country and those don't agree with the roads here. So far I'm thinking Halo lights because the current lights are a little foggy, and a cold air intake.

dear god don't do it, just replace the plasitc housings, and a cold air will make your car shittier and a lower resale value. If you want your car to stand out take good care of it, keep it spotless and maintain it. You could save hundreds if not a grand.

No it wont, and he can keep his stock intake for when he goes to sell it.

Yeah the halos are a stretch but i i think it could maybe pull it off, there's nothing I hate more than a ricer but I think those are safe.

And if I keep the stock air filter housing I can just replace it when I go to sell the car, plenty of people do it as not to void their warantees, until then I can enjoy the improved efficiency and nice sound.

it will not help you mileage wise, those intakes suck massive cock. The only ones that are decent cost close to a grand and what kind of mileage to you get +1mpg and 2-3hp. If you go for the cheap ones they will lower your performance.

Quoted By:

best "intake" mod you can do on an otherwise stock car is a replacement panel filter that lives in your original air box. check your airbox piping and remove any resonators on it at they will disrupt airflow. the only reason why youd actually want a CAI is if a)youve modified your engine to the point that it requires more air than the standard unit can flow, and b)youve got a fully ducted unit that wont suck up shitty hot air from inside the engine bay

Thank you for using the term pony car, instead of just grouping everything into muscle.

That is all.
