Almost 4 years now, a LOT done, lots to go
1994 JDM GT4 WRC
I've had mine since march 03 and done a lot of little things to it, next is a bigger thing to do to it.
I've had mine for almost 2 1/2 years and have put about $2500 into aftermarket so far.

It will be 2 years to the day on January 6th. So far, all I've managed to get done is undoing everything I've done
Intake.
LED's in the center console.
LED's in the trunk to replace the broken trunk light.
Lowered, then raised back up until I buy new struts
TRD rear skirts, sold to random_stranger until I move away from where I live.
Underglows for like 2 weeks. Thank goodness they're gone. They looked terrible on my car.
Painted the Toyota emblem in the center cap on my wheels.
Several sound systems until I realized how important my hearing is.
I keep wanting to do more, but I'd rather save my money and not bury it in a car that doesn't treat me all that well and buy myself a better car later.

I've had mine almost 5 years (Feb 13th). I was a poor 17yr old at the time. As I started making and saving money I started buying things for it. I had a lot of plans for the car but it all began with the wheels and gathering parts for my tranny swap about 3 years ago. So 5 years and something like $12k later I can finally enjoy all the work that's been put into it. I'm a slave to my car, I work so I can buy car parts.

Had mine since summer 2005, spent almost if not 20,000 dollars on it already. Never ends. So many things to do so many things to try differently.

wow so that crazy. the amount some have spent on your celica's. I have had mine for about 3 years. And didnt start building it till over a year ago. Ive spent about $5,000 on upgrades. Hoping not to spend more than $6,000 for beams swap that i'll do in about 3 years.
I agree with presure 2, theres always something you can do to the celica. Every little thing you do counts. But then at the same time you have to know when to stop.
There always has to be some sort of limit, even though moding the celica's is an hobby/addiction...

You know what, Lil Joe? Let everyone you want rip on your spoiler. it's not any less functional than mine (is it? That's a question for you, Playr. I have no idea.) But your Celica has come a long way from where it started. I like your car a lot. Functional or not, that spoiler looks good with how you've designed your car. Besides, I can't imagine driving crazy enough in our cars to actually NEED a spoiler. It helps, yes, but I know my car in particular isn't capable of anything crazy. So Lil Joe, props to your build! Keep up the good work.

Black: Bought July '06. Stripped down to replace worn parts, clean EVERYTHING, new paint inside and out, and a swap is underway.... not a common one at all, either. Actually, I think it will be the first time this particular motor has woken up in a celi.
Red: Bought December '07. (omg its already been over a year....) Auto to manual tranny swap, CarPC, system (not just bass...) body work experiments/practice, replaced the engine, sound deadening upgrades (its pretty well silent now)
Many other small things i can't remember ATM.
