Page 1: Introduction & Current Status
Page 2: Possible Modifications
This is my 1998 Toyota Celica GT, its mostly all sock right now, a Few Mods i've done are some NGK Iridium Spark Plugs and Blue Cables, Front and Rear Crossed Drilled Rotors and a New K&N Drop In Air Filter but ounce i'm able to get more funds i'll start to modify it some more, for now she's my Daily Driver and a pretty fun one too. She has over 200,000 Miles on the Odometer but she still runs Strong. The Engine is a 5S-FE also found in the Camry, it's not a very popular Engine to tune but it's definitely one of my favorite engine models. It runs great, has plenty of torque and gets fairly good Gas Mileage, whats not to love about it, It might not be the fastest but I love what I have. The Rims are stock 15-inch rims that look good and the Tires are Kumo Ecsta ASX tires, that hug the road amazingly and there tread patterns look sweet.
The Classic Celica Emblem

Through a Camera Mirror at a Drive through Sexy if I say So Myself

The Rear End
Through the Window and some Interior
The Interior
The Front Seats Look Almost White but there Tan I assure you
Pretty Comfortable Rear Seats for a Coupe
From the behind the Hatch looking forward
The Guages
The Sky Above Me , Can't have a car without a Moon Roof
The Lights
There Stock but I love the way they look, Someday maybe some HID's but for now Halogen will suffice =)
I just Love the Way the OEM Tail Lights Light up at Nite
Not the brightest but easy enough to see, Might change the bulbs later
Ahhhh its past the 200,000 Miles mark!
The Engine
Just a Few Random Pictures of the Engine before the new Plugs and Cables
The Engines is a 5S-FE
Stock Power Numbers are
135Hp @ 5400 RPM's
145Lb/ft @ 4400 RPM's
Max Redline 6300 RPM's
Not Very much Power but pretty good numbers for a Daily Driver with plenty of torque at the low end
Here's How the Engine Looks with the NGK Blue Spark Plug wires and a Blue Oil Filter
Just Some Normal Routine Seal Changing, The Valve Cover Seal was leaking so i replaced it, snapped some neat pictures of the Camshafts and Slave-Cam Gears =)
NA Stands for Naturally Aspirated
I like Turbo but im more fond of Naturally aspirated Engines they just sound better =)
My New K&N Air Filter, Got it after I saw my old Filter was near Black on the underside. This thing literally brought my car back to life and my MPG is definitely better
Though I live in California this is proof my car is a Fed Spec and not lower Cali Spec, so i do have that Extra 5 ponies. Not to good for when i need to get a smog check though
ST204, for those that don't know thats the USDM chassis code for the Celica With a 5S-FE engine
The Brakes, tires and Suspension
My New Crossed Drilled Rotors, There Lightly Crossed Drilled but they Look and Feel Much better than my old ones
Fresh On With the Caliper and Wheel, Look Still the New Groove marks =)
After Awhile from Breaking Them In
My New Rear Crossed Drilled Rotors Just got them, putting them on during the weekend
My New Tires , Kumo Ecsta ASX, pretty cool looking Tread patterns if you ask me
Just Some Stock Suspension Components nothing special but I love how my Car Handles with it
Me!!!!!!!! =)
Oh thats Me and My Girlfriend (Not driving Around Ofcourse that Would be dangerous)
