I've probably had my 96 Celica for almost two years, but haven't been able to work on it. This is my first time on a forum.


For the first 6 months i kept my car stock then this happened





hand to find a new axle, I liked my rims for the time being so I decided to buy another one (sears brand) because it broke in the accident and painted them black



and someone thought it would be funny to take my toyota emblem?



decided to get some HID's and a roof rack





Decided to instal my 12" subs


about 3 months ago i finally decided to put some money into my car and bought some new FRS rims



After that I went to get my fenders rolled


Took my car down to a shop to get my megan racing springs and stagg struts installed


Top pic is before and bottom is after, not much different, just 2"


I was loving how my car looked and drove, and have 35 percent tint and took off my spoiler





three days ago, with 170xxx miles my engine blew





yesterday I picked up an engine with only 5 miles on it, hopefully i have a chance to put it in this week

Welcome! Create a photobucket account, upload ur pics and then copy and past the IMG link on each photo. That's how I post mine anyway. There is also a topic somewhere in the stickies that shows you how.

I decided to take my back seats and my passanger seats to let them dry and clean them








If any one has any good ideas on how to clean my seats that would be great, I dont really pay attention to my seats, but now since i took them out i realized how dirty my back seats are and was wondering if anyone has any tricks to cleaning them or anything.

I have the gt-four hood aswell, from what I've read, the stock hood won't fit with the gt-four bumper. I had to take off the stock crash bar. Right now I'm riding with no crash bar but this weekend I'm going to get the gt-four crash bar cut and bolted on. It's a really easy conversion, I was really surprised
