1983 Toyota Celica GT-S review from North America
"LOTS of fun at a low price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Worn Steering rod ends - got new ones.
Battery Died - got new one.
Driver seat badly worn - needs replaced.
General comments?
This car is very responsive and corners great!
I LOVE the way it looks, beautiful black.
I had some decals put on it and it really gives it a racing look.
Pics of it are at www.celica-gts.org under Pete Hawk.
Mods I'd like to do...
Open Air Intake Mod
Doug Thorley Headers
New exhaust system (for more HP and better sound).
Wider tires.
Have wheels professionally polished, powder coated, clear coated.
Get it tuned up soon
Thinking about more engine mods to make her really fly
