    stock shocks and struts
    ebay celica coilover springs and adjusters (yes they are bouncy!)
    moroso aluminum battery box mounted behind passenger seat
    lawn mower battery
    AEM wideband
    generic boost gage
    monster tach (:lol
    electric defroster:mrgreen:

    sportmaxx xxr 002 15x8 et0 front and rear
    gorrilla wheel stud kit
    elusive super rare jdm fender flares
    carbon fiber vinyl hood wrap
    carby taillights, 1 is cracked
    pioneer 5 1/4 speakers installed

    im sure im missing some stuff.


    -interior is gutted but i have it all to put back in if you want (except carpet)
    -handbrake does not work well at all
    -idles low when its hot, high when its cold (like 600rpms when its 100deg out or 1500rpms when its 15 deg out)
    -the heater box is not in the car. the heater core is there and it is plumbed, -but there is no box on it, I have a electric heater hooked up for defrost lol
    -there is some pulsation during braking (i beleive the left front rotor is warped)
    -the front tires are pretty worn but i have 2 that i will include with the sale for replacement.
    -seats are pretty beat up


    this car has been my daily driver for the past 3 years and has been very reliable for me. runs awesome and always has. gets around 30mpg with a mix of city and highway driving. stiffer shocks and struts would make it ride a lot nicer lol. i was planning on swapping vw coilovers in but i never got around to it. it could use a big brake kit to help slow it down lol. I would also reccomend putting a cage in this for safety reasons. I reinforced the bumper with a steel bar. the lower rad support was also replaced with a steel tube bar.


    seriously, not for kids.

    i weighed the car with the full interior 2 years ago and it weighed 1820lbs. the previous owner dynoed it at 182whp @5psi and 243whp @ 11psi.
    ive never had it over 5psi


    $4000 as it sits
    $4600 with slanted star 15x7 wheels
    $3500 with slanted star wheels and no wideband

    cash preferred but trades considered. i will not add cash. preferrably you do because i need the money lol.
