Common source of rear suspension clunks is the suspension arms (the four arms which run laterally in pairs from the centre of the chassis to the rear knuckles).

And while doing so, make sure the coolant reservoir is never below the COLD mark -- you don't want the system sucking up air after it cools down.

Dim bulb usually indicates either a bad bulb, or a bad connection. If you have a multimeter, you could check what kind of current/voltage you're getting from the socket.

First suspect in idle issues is a sticky IACV (intake air control valve). Otherwise, start looking for vacuum leaks.

With a 95, the ECU simply dumps more fuel through the injectors on a cold start -- older Celicas utilized a separate cold start fuel injector rather than a variable fuel map.
