Bought a Red Bone stock 1987 Celica GT recently for 2k. 2 questions did I do good and what could I do looks and performance wise. P.S. I am not a ricer.
Bought a Red Bone stock 1987 Celica GT recently for 2k...
Looks pretty good
The gen before would have been better since most in the US had a 22re and there's a good amount of aftermarket in cams and stuff and it's RWD. What motor do you have? if it's the 3sge maybe you can try picking up cheap stock MR2 turbo parts. Plus I'm sure there's cool cams and stuff.
Coilovers will probably give you the most speed for the money, excluding tires, though.
keep it mostly stock
This at least cosmetics
If you want SUBTELLE aesthetics, get some of the badass Raybrig headlights. Other than that it honestly looks like it belongs on the wheels it's on but you can always find something that looks better to you.
This is currently my dash
Heh u remind me of my cuz
>performance
something something suspension or good tires
>looks
new wheels
I'll look into some coilovers once when I get my struts changed
3SGE swap
Would this work for my 87
3sgte gen 4+
Turbo swap
Op get bc coilovers and decent 9" rims of they fit don't skimp on suspention or brakes either.
Is it auto or manual? Get a short shifter and or shiftkit
3SFE
Automatic
Turpo
My condolences
Change the fluids asap get good dot4+ rated stuff.
Look into a big cooler and bypass as well as deep pan
My first car was an 87' Celica GT-S... was a POS but got me around for a year and was fun to drive... never really modded it because I didn't have the cash at the time lol.
My favorite "mod" to do at the time was stopping the headlights from going down halfway to give it the "sleepy eye" look lmao, I was lame.
Paid $500 for mine by the way, then sold it a year later for $1000 after I bought this Kouki.
>questions did I do good and what could I do looks and performance wise
no and sell it and buy a gt4
Currently having an issue with the car losing power after driving for a good while working on getting it looked at but for the moment I'm having to pull over when the car starts to die wait a few minutes then drive again till it happens again
Probably an intake leak or exhaust issue causing it to choke out. Barring high temps check your thermostat. ground connections, and battery.
>automatic toyota celica that isn't a GT Four/All Trac
>wants to modify it performance wise
lol
I would kill for an all Trac but good luck finding one where I live and for even near the price I paid for this one
Me and my neighbor think it's the fuel pump
you're a ricer
