A celica of that year is a very sexy looking car when it had a full body kit and rims on it and has been molded correctly with a supra style wing and a nice paintjob, not some overthe top paintjob, but a nice one tone job.

man.. you ricers and your body kits..

seriously, he asked for help in making it a bit quicker, how in the hell does a body kit and "supra wing" (i think you love those a bit too much) have to do with his goal? stop trying to turn every import into a fast and furious knock-off.

The down sides is they are fwd and not very quick. Is yours an auto or a manual? Dont go modding this car, for 3 grand and it only has 60k miles on it, its a very nice find and will be a very dependable car for a while if you take care of it. Modding it will just cut down on the mpg rating and the reliability. A full exaust, cai, rims, body kit, lowering springs, will make it a nice looking car, show car quality and a very dependable car.

how does a body kit and drop make it a "show quality car" ?? where do you live, alaska? it takes a lot more than that piddly crap to make a show car..

but then again, seeing as how he said he bought this as an economical daily driver (as well as a car for the wife to drive) .. why would he want to waste money on that crap? it serves no real world purpose and would only waste the money (and then some) that he was trying to save on the increased fuel efficiency

jebjeb, the best thing i can recommend would be to look into a decent i/h/e set and call it a day.. the opened exhaust will help the engine breathe better, pick you up a few horses, and sometimes improve mileage a little bit.

in my opinion making a car look fast that isnt fast is a ricer especially with a shitty ass coffee can exhaust im not saying i/h/e is that but a body kit and a supra wing wont do anything for him for performance sure it may look nice but thats not what he cares about

Hrm that sounds familiar... ohh wait I said that. Celica's with body kits look very nice. If he was going for economical and reliable daily driver he wouldnt go for very much performance. i/h/e is as far as I would go unless you want to go pure performance.

jesterrace777 · « **Reply #7 on:** October 05, 2005, 01:53:00 AM »

I concur. He wants performance, not show. I would take a sleeper over a bodykit or wing anyday. Just ask Rylinkus who enjoyed beating Hondas with a little turbo sprint.

Yea, I bought the car like that. I didnt add a thing to it. I didnt even own it very long. I owned it a total of about 3 days before I sold it. I made 2k in profits from it. Its called business smarts man, get a clue. If you saw some riced out nice looking honda for 3 grand and you knew you could make money off of it, would you buy it? I sure hope you would, if not thats just dumb.
