Ride of the Day: 1991 Toyota Celica GT-S
By Sean O'Hara
We’re seeing a lot more of the ‘90s Celicas running around car shows and leaving burnt rubber tracks on the avenue. It’s no mystery, either — these things look good and perform just as well. The only down side: Modders have to work hard to make them look and feel like the high-end rides they want.
A list of the mods includes:
- Spectre Track Racing cold air intake
- Silicone red hosing
- Tsudo exhaust
- Perfomance SuperChip
- Custom paint (used to be red)
- Debadged emblems
- Shaved-off antenna
- Custom fog lights
- Invader II full body kit (molded in)
- Invader II double deck spoiler
- 19″ D-Force RSX-6 5Zigen rims
- Hankook Radials K106 tires (LowProfile 35 series)
- Red underbody neons
- Red license plate lights
- Smoke tinted license plate covers
- Smoke tinted tail lights, turn signals, and fog lights
- APC racing seats w/ racing seat belts
- Color-Change gauges
- Custom carbon fiber shift knob
- Custom RS-1 tuning pedals
- JDM steering wheel
- Matrix floor mats
- Red dashboard parts
- Three Red Strobe interior neons
- Two 12″ Infinity subwoofers
- Fatmat insulation
- Double enclosure for subs
- Mounted fire extinguisher
- LiveSound sound system
- Sony Explod CD player
- Viper security and keyless entry
- Viper remote start system
- EZWatchPro hidden security cameras (5)
- 2,000 Watt two-ch. American Legacy Series amp w/ remote bass control
Why We Like It
This little ’91 Celica looks a little like an RX-7, but slightly more angular. We’re guessing they paid less for the initial buy-in than they would’ve paid for other rides cut from the same sport compact cloth. The owner of this seriously cool rig poured over 16 grand into upgrades and mods — and we must say it looks tight.
What We’d Change
With all the aftermarket gear and body mods, we don’t think there’s a place on this car that the owner hasn’t already been into — but with that said, a turbo kit would be cool.
