Matt's 1989 Celica GT-S (Paint Started)

I got my 1989 Celica GT-S for 650$ and have been working on it almost everyday sense i got her

Day i bought her Pop up headlights were broken



Fixed the pop up headlights took about 30 mins



The Next Day i replaced the stock lame air box with a high flow filter to accompany the exhaust the car came with





was a lot louder under full throttle and seemed a bit more peppy through the whole rev range, especially above 4k revs

Washed waxed and claybared the car the day after that,





the angle makes the ceiling blend into my head and neck

the end result



and today i added some fog lights to the front bumper





as well as wired up my 12 inch sub

Re: Matt's 1989 Celica GT-S

i think i need to run wider rubber before i get some of these

i have, actualy i am also looking at some jdm tails as well ( if i can find any)

Thanks man I did a car fax and its even hard for me to belive im actualy the 6th owner of the car, and the body only has 155,xxx the last owner blew a rod so the engine is another gts engine he found with only 50k miles on it at the swap 10k ago!

And yea reverse ive learned its little tricks...kinda...

hu no syncro.... didnt know that thought mine had a bad syncro...

and it does sound a bit like mine... would a rusty head gasket add that raspyness?

+1 and well as it gets colder and the days get shorter im kinda screwed sense i work outside at a golf course parking and cleaning the carts, shorter days= less day light= less hours = less pay=less spent on car
