Well here it is, i bought the 1998 2.2L Celica sx-r (i think its GT) probably 3 months ago with 58,000km and the 3rd owner. It was a stock mofo car, my first car and i intend to keep her for life with many presents to spoil her.
Background
Was looking for my first car back in 08, was never sure what to buy. Wanted a NA white supra, god they were beasty looking things. But was always told left, right and centre they were too expensive to maintain and for petrol too. Looked into ftos (baby supra) but too many tiptronics not enough manuals around. That and my dad was like "GET A TOYOTA".
Out of the blue, saw a bargain of a white 98 celica with very low ks. Went out to wollongong that night with my parents with a large sum of cash to look at this celica. Who knew on the spot i would buy it that night and drive it back in the heavy rain. It was a hit or miss, he was leaving back overseas in 2 days and if he didnt sell it it would go to the dealers. Was in head over heels even tho i didnt really like the look or shape of this generation celica. This is my first car, and i plan to keep it for a life.

Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.
very tidy motor
Looking well, when you lower her a bit she'll look excellent! Keep up the good work

Wow, those are nasty...JDM tails and projector headlights are probably the best mods to do on our cars.
Whats your interior? The only think I don't like is my tan interior.
If your is all black that'll be even more sexy.
Black and red interior (just like the SS-III)

I'm digging those indicators! Your car is coming together very nicely! Everyone else is telling you to get rims, but I like how your factory wheels look in your signature. I've actually been admiring that in other threads
Keep up the good work!
