2000 Celica GT-S

[Chuckles89]

Here is my daily driver, a 2000 Celica GT-s with a 6- speed manual. It is technically my dad's but he says he will give it to me when I go to college unless we find an old 4Runner or 4x4 Toyota for cheap. We bought it in 2005 with ≈70,000 miles and now it has 141,000+. It has a K&N Typhoon high performance intake, KYB shocks with new Toyota springs, leather interior, stock stereo, power moonroof, and pretty much all the other options available in 2000. I have some pictures, but don't have very many.

The engine bay- Just cleaned and waxed the inside of the hood (it was nasty)

That's exactly what I was thinking! lol

:thanks:

I think we are going to keep it mostly stock for now. Maybe a few strut bars if we can find some good ones for cheap. The unibody is definitely not as rigid as it was when we got it. A nice Borla, Ansa, or TRD exhaust would be nice... I just really wish that my dad didn't back into a truck and dent the rear passenger quarter panel because everyone at school thinks I did it :roadkill:

That is one sweeet Celica! Very clean. A nice exhaust system would be nice. Just not one with a big ass fart pipe hanging out the rear. My younger son loves these cars too. There are two near us, both white, but not quite as nice as yours. Don't let ur pops sell this jewel! :cheers:

Thanks, and I would never put a fart can on a car. lol There are three at my school: mine, a wite GT, and a blue GT. There is a lady who has a really beat up white GTS that I see around town sometimes. I told my dad that we have to keep it forever- let's see if that happens.

Oops let me change that to a "free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles" that is way overpriced :lol:

Fangs for "stupid car mod day" lol


Dat flex tho


My 4x10 speaker cabinet, 1-12 combo amp, and my bass in the back. And I still could've fit more stuff in

I've seen so many 7th gen celicas this week and finally parked next to some

Nice ride. I miss mine.

Yesterday, I did my first brake job all by myself. I did the rear disk brakes. First side took me ~1.5 hours and the second took me 30 minutes. I changed the pads, greased the floating pins, and bled the brake lines. I also cleaned up the fender wells and suspension.

Parts pile- tiny brake pads lol


Jacked it up- trailer hitches are nice



Dirty suspension


Clean Suspension


I also cleaned out the dirt that was built up in between the plastic side molding and the fender well
Right side- lots of dirt

Left side- really clean

Since I had the D-SLR out, I took some better pictures

I think if u painted the stock rims black or gray it would contrast nicely with the white. Good job on the brakes btw! America needs way more kids like u!!! :rockon:

I've seen one Celica with those wheels painted black, and they looked amazing.

That's what I'm talkin 'bout! Looks sweet! He even has that red pinstripe... Have u thought about Plasti-dip? It's cheap and if u decide u don't like it or want to change colors, it just peels off.
