also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

Have fun!

Since you do have a cold air intake, try to avoid puddles of water, if water gets sucked up that intake... well it ain't so fun anymore. You should invest in a $30 'bypass' valve so that if it detects water being sucked up, it will shut off the cold air intake.

Omg thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to add that on the list of what I'm going to change on this car. xD

So easy, even you can install it.

I probably will in the future. When I have money.
Omg that's what I said.. but instead of changing the tires, I wanted to lower it. Unfortunately, I can't do that because of my driveway.

4x4 status! IMO, some silver SSR professors would look good on your Celica.

Thanks :3

I've named my car 'Ukki' =]

And I still haven't figured out the complicated alarm system thing.

i already saw your new car in the introduce yourself and your car thread, but i'm seeing this thread just now. i named mine "solid snake." tongue.gif welcome to the celica family. happy.gif

got a question: is the cf trim on your sunglass holder lid on there pretty snug? i just installed the cf trim on mine last week and parts of the trim were loose... like when i'd press against certain sections of the lid i could feel it stick for a little then pop back off. so i heat gunned it and now it's completely bonded, but that warped the cf a little bit. it has a bumpy texture now. i'll try to take a pic. also, another guy i met at a celica meet had the same cf trim with the same warped look on the lid, but his got all warped over time with the sun. your lid looks smooth and i'm wondering if all of it is completely bonded.

EDIT: you just edited the pics and now your interior shot is gone!

bypass valves dont work for the celicas CAI. the piping is to short or something, i forgot what the exact reason was, but its useless for the CAI on celica's. your best bet is just to avoid big puddles of water.
Have fun with your car biggrin.gif
w2!
