Gauges..... possibly custom ones? I'm getting upgraded valve springs from MWR, and I need a new gauge face, and possibly brighter or more performance looking colors. Thanks Maryem, and another thing, a technical question. Can you put a GT-S gauge cluster in a GT? I have faith in your judgement.

Yea, it turns out these ####### at the Toyota dealership in Upper Marlo in Maryland, screwed me with my stage 3 clutch. They stole it and theres nothing I can do about it. Ain't that a damn shame?
Try calling the police, it's theft. Include the install cost and it's like grand theft. Do ya have the receipt for the clutch? What did the bums do with the clutch?, (put it in one of their cars). Seriously, go to the dealership with your buds/crew and the cops (don't threaten to 'call the cops') on the busiest day for the dealership check that the monkey that jacked ya clutch is there too.
This happend to one of my ladyfriends when a dealership jacked her rims/tires, I went with her and met up with the cops. The rims were returned in less than an hour. The looks on the owners, salespersons, and customers was priceless.

Well actually, I bought my car off of one of my good friends brother. And he had the clutch installed right before he sold it to me, and he doesn't have a reciept. And another down to this whole thing, is even if I called the cops, every salesperson and mechanic that worked on my car when it was in the shop (about 7), where mysteriously released.

Wow, that totally sucks Enjoi... I am sorry to hear that happened. You can still try and get the cops involved, they should be able to find out who worked there when the car was there.

Wait, hour friend bought the clutch, and then sold the car to you before it was installed? Or...


If you'd like to write up a story on your car, go ahead, but don't post it here, make a new topic in the 7th gen forum, keep it separate.

As far as your gauge question... you can get custom guages made at http://www.speedhut.com, or check what's left at http://www.rjautoworks.com.

Technically GT guages WILL fit a GT-S, they are the same size and thickness, BUT the guages won't read right cuz the numbers are aligned differently on them. Also, the GT tach only goes up to 8k, and the speedo only goes up to 140 mph. But more importantly is that the rpm's and speed will be off.

Anybody know where I can find Black Pearl Emblem set for GT Celica? I really don't feel like painting them myself...not quite the artist.

Someone might have made them... try eBay.

Actually, there's not that much artistry involved if you can find the right color spray paint.

Take your emblems off, spray them with a bunch of few light coats, and then put them back on. It'll be less of a problem to get them right like that than with a paint brush and owrrying about getting paint on your car.

I don't get a chance to get on the internet often, but I do got some questions.

I do want to make my Celica GT-S faster, but at the same time, I don't want to add too much to the body, keeping it looking as stock as possible, except for the rims, wheels, and brakes.

As far as performance can go, can any one help me find affordable parts for my engine. Keep in mind that I do want to keep it Naturally Aspirated.

For the ground effects, I'm probably going to go with the front and rear action package for the 2003 Celica, and the 2005 side skirts and spoiler.

Can any one tell me what they think?

I just got my celica 2004 GT. I wanted to get the GTS, however I got a great deal on this one. I just wanted to know what I would need to get to gain 40-50 more hp. Ideally without sacrificing fuel economy. If you have any suggestions that would not void my warranty, if not what can I do that won't? I would rather get a small gain then sacrifice my warranty.
