I'm new to Toyota Celicas and such and my family is looking to buying a new car for me and my sister to share

oh well, i just need something that works. Anyway, I found a 2001 GT with 70k miles on it for $8,999 in my city. Since it IS the GT model it comes with 140HP correct? It's an automatic with tiptronic(cool feature IMO).

Now... what questions I hold in myself right now is the fact that I come from a Honda past(into civics... sad i know) will the GT model engine be considered an engine that is... how you say "the torqueless wonder" such as the B16A2 from the 6th Gen Honda Civic Si? We can't afford a GT-S around here(too expensive, way past the 10k range and all 6-speeds) so I guess a GT is a good all around car.

Also... since I come from Civics.. they have that "clean JDM" look fad going. I was wondering what lipkits are availible and where I could buy them from.
