Looking good. Most of those "riced" out vehciles annoy me, but this one has taste. I have always liked Celicas so that may be my biased opinion.



Good job. Welcome to Autopia
 
thanks! i don't plan on doing anything else to her except redding the tails, and getting some rims and springs this summer.



feel free to offer any suggestions/ideas! my ears are open! :)
 
Definitely nicer than the 1985 Celica I used to have. Good car, but the 22R is a truck motor. Still it had a 5 speed and was the last RWD Celica. Had a 1979 also. Both were still running with 200,000+ miles on them.
 
While many do put spoilers/wings on cars for the bling-factor, a properly designed-and-fitted spoiler's functional purpose is to counteract lift generated by the body of the vehicle at highway speeds. As such, a spoiler can be useful regardless of drivetrain layout, especially if the vehicle ever sees extremely high speeds at a track (or during covert canyon carving).



Some body kits, such as the OEM kit that can be purchased from Subaru for the WRX, have been wind-tunnel tested, are designed specifically for the vehicle, and actually do provide an aero-effect to reduce lift. Of course, most aftermarket wings are for aesthetics; however, when they're used correctly, they may benefit FWD, RWD, and (the beauty of) AWD alike.

most wings will slow down cars, though, but that's way at the high-end of speed.



but glass...you do really need some rims and springs/coilovers. the exhaust, bud, doesn't fit and that should be addressed. tanabe is a good brand, and you ought to have the installer get it closer to the bumpers
