[Celi STing]

Hello all. I am 29 and enjoy music,movies,sports,cooking,and CARS!!! Well I have a 94 celica st, 1.8L, 5spd. Previous owner had a decent sounding muffler put on; so it sounds nice. Paid $700, no working radio, 14" hubcaps, interior a little rough. But it runs very good. I'm on here to just conversate with people and get info on upgrades for this car. I've done some research and have seen a lot. I gonna make it a nice street car since it will be my everyday vehicle. But no slouch either. I enjoy all types of tuning; from compacts to hot rods. I even like the truck scene. I am a hands on type so most mods I do plan on doin; if I have the tools to perform them. Well here is the plan for Project "Celi STing": I'm gonna start from the inside out. Since the body is rough, I'll wait until '09 for paint and body parts. Not a huge budget since I am a family man. First, I NEED MUSIC!!! my sony w200i is my radio LOL!!! Here is my list of parts/wish list if I hit the lotto.
Audio
Eclipse CD3200
Alpine SBS-05DC (DIN center channel speaker, will be mounted in dash above head unit)
Audiobahn AS65v 6 1/2" (mounted in rear locations)
Audiobahn AW831T 8" DVC (mounted in factory door locations)
Audiobahn A4002T (2 channel amp 100w x2 4ohm rms)
Audiobahn A6004v (4 channel amp 150w x4 4ohm rms)
2 farad capacitor (tsunami or audiobahn)
Dynamat Xtreme and Dynaxorb

Wish List (only dif is the speakers)
JL 8w3v3-4 8" subs
JL C5-650 6 3/4" mids
JL Slash v2 450/4v2 amp

The center channel will handle 200Hz-30kHz, 6 1/2" 50Hz-20kHz, 8" 30Hz-200Hz. These will be my crossover points that I will use. I feel I can listen to hip hop, r&b, rock, pop, and alternative w/o touching the dial. Okay enough of the ICE.

Thinking of reverse glow dash guage with custom needles. Guage will probably be white w/red and hoping to find red glow at night. Needles will be white with glowing red tips for night driving. I'm thinking red or carbon red dash overlay. Shift boot black w/red stitching and TRD shift knob. All black interior with red highlights. Seats may be black/red or red/black. I plan on doing this in '08 with the addition of a decent brake/suspension upgrade. Slotted rotors w/low dust pads.

Performance will be a secret until I obtain all the parts I need. remember I want a nice street car, not going to the track in it. Hint: I am keeping the engine block. I am sure you guys can fill in the blanks from there. Body upgrades: gt4 front/c-one rear/nice looking spoiler/sideskirts/17"or 18" rims. A nice red shade from Dupont. Maybe a vented hood. But those are for next year '09. Okay well that is about it. I will update as the car begins evolving.

In other words you want to the GT-Four front conversion. It sounds pretty good so far, keep us updated with pics. Any current pics of the car?
