norrix420 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I have a few quick questions about things that I am considering about doing to my 2000 Celica GT-S. As of right now I have replaced the stock muffler with a straight pipe from the cat back with a tip on the end. It sounds pretty good to me, my question is would I get better performance out of my car if I installed a custom exhaust such as a reactive exhaust? If so where could I go to get that installed? Another question I have is about air intake, I currently still have the stock ram air system for my intake and I installed a k&n air filter replacing the stock one. Would I still get better performance out of a cold air intake? Is there anything else I can do to help acceleration in my car besides intake and exhaust with my car being an automatic? Another question I have is about rims. I am looking for new rims and tires for my car pretty soon and I was wondering where the best place might be to take them. I was considering discount tire but if there is another place that I might get the same quality rims and tires for cheaper I would consider it. I am thinking about 17 inch gun metal rims with Yokohama tires. one last question, I have many more ideas about things that I would like done to my car put I’m not sure of any places in town that do certain things. If anyone knows of any good custom car shops that I could go to, that would be helpful. I guess I’m not very sure as to where to go to get a lot of things done to my car. Any help would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Take it to JP aka Coltboostin on here. He will make your car the fastest in the world for $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBussman1647545507 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 exhust and intake rely doen't make much of a significant performance on a small 4cyl N/A car. For exhust just get what you think sounds the best, intake wise, anything made for your car that isn't $30 ebay bullshit should be fine your probibly going to pay well over $120 for a good intake. wheels are all about perfernce buy that ones that fit your car, and look the way you want them to look.

BuckeyeGT Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 what brian said... little mods like catback and cai are usually wastes of money. catback is basically for a better sound. a cai's only purpose is to make a car owner feel like his car just gained a lot of power from purchasing one.

thorne Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 BTW cheap ebay CAI are usaly knockoffs of the more expensive one's if all your going for is sound then get one. its a bitch to put on the celiica you will see why later as for exhaust GOD we don't need another fartcan running around. You want the real power get a TRD SC or Turbo kit. or a squirt of juice anything else you do will be pretty pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lustalbert Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt the GT-S package the celica that was factory equiped with a turbo? I dont know the years ect on them, I just know the driver usually has tits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 No, it is still NA, they have a body kit and little to no more added horsepower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Speed S4 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 ^ haha werd. I own a GT-S. GT comes with 140hp, GT-S comes with 180hp and max horsepower is around 7600rpms. About the exhuast... the best gain for the GT-S is a TRD kazuma straight pipe exhuast whichs adds 32 crank hp. about. Since your car is auto its not even worth modding. There is such a huge difference between the Auto GT-S and the 6 speed. The 6 speed runs 1/4 mile around 14.8 stock and the auto GT-S is about 17.2. Im getting sick of my FWD so I'm selling my car fairly soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Thats what the TRD site said but its actually like a 10whp-13whp gain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Speed S4 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Theres a dyno sheet on the celicaforum that shows a 11whp gain. Obviously its more like 20 to the crank or less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Care to describe this dump? Does it look like a Celica? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrix420 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Thanks for all of the helpful, and not so helpful posts on my car. I guess it’s not worth to mod for performance so I guess I’ll just have to stick with the way it looks. Does anyone know a good audio place for your car? I have heard Columbus car audio is good, as well as a place called mobile electronics. Any other places that anyone knows of that can help me out with the looks of my car would be great.

It's not a bad looking car to boot. Maybe a tint job and some rims that fit the car, nothing too drastic. It's not worth modding being an automatic, I learned that. It'll still be slow and you'll be dissapointed, just save you're money and buy a bike or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 just get shocks and springs and use it for auto-x. Celicas are built for handling not speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 for god's sake whatever you do don't get a damn bodykit. celicas with bodykits are probably the most awful ricerockets on the street. rims/audio/something that keeps it a reasonable, but sporty, daily driver is basically what you wanna do.

ImUrOBGYN Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 newcelica.org It's a wealth of information. And any performance mod, to a slow car or not, is worth it if it's faster and/or handles better than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
