Found a VW Golf antenna base for $10 shipped and it accepts the S2000 screw in antenna, makes life easier.

My 94 GT has the key ring light as well. Ha, someone thought a generic stick-to-the-back glass antenna was better in my case too. Luckily I found one intact at my local yard for $15. Too bad I didn't know about the s2k antenna before then haha looks much better.
Most people mod the stock antenna to use the S2000 one. Since I don't have the OEM antenna I looked for alternatives and found that the VW antenna base uses screw in antennas, so makes life easier. That and it looks like it should fit the curvature of the quarter panel quite well, if not nothing a thin bead of silicone can't fix.

There we go:
Seems reception might be marginally better, the important thing is that it looks much better than what was there...

It'll take awhile getting used to looking in the driver mirror and not seeing a giant antenna flapping in the wind.

That's ok, I'm thinking about giving up and buying some luxury car... Getting into the car the other day somehow I pulled something in my rib cage, I thought I was going to have to call for help it hurt so bad. Then when you're inside the ride is harsh and cramped, nobody wants to ride in it and I can't honestly blame them... Can't find any damn seats to alleviate the issue, so fùck it...
I know, I know, the complaining thing... It's just frustrating when NO ONE wants to go with you in your car, and you have to hurt yourself in order to drive it... If I could find some seats that'd help, but God forbid something like that happens... Still doesn't solve the problem where you're right next to each other, which depending on the gender of the passenger that can be bearable. I can't think of anything at the moment I'd want instead anyway though, for some reason luxury sports coupes with manual transmissions are few and far between...

You've got a good looking car. I've got a 96 st myself but its a base model. Your comment about it being uncomfortable made me laugh. A co-worker of mine complains about mine every time he gets in it. I would love to find a reasonably priced gt but have not been able to do so. I can't get rid of mine because it just too darn dependable. Thanks for the tip about the golf/s2000 antenna. I need to replace mine as well.
You still looking for a gt box? Found one on the Florida East coast for 2500

Thanks. Yeah, outside of that I genuinely like the car. Really it's due to the poor excuses for roads that we have around here, most are terrible even in a stock sedan much less a lowered sports coupe. I'm just at the point where I don't care about saving fuel, and rather be comfortable seeing as my problems appear to be getting worse... IF SOMEBODY would sell me leather seats, it'd help tremendously. I'm only 5'10" and of somewhat broad stature, I don't see how the people over 6'2" deal with it. Especially the guy(reason my seat is trashed) that had it before me was 6'6" and 350 pounds. I don't really see the point of the GT unless you're going to engine swap it immediately, it isn't really much faster and the mpg takes a nose dive. On the antenna you will need an adapter one way or another, rather it's the original or aftermarket. I just ended up wiring the plug from the antenna I had into the new base, so I didn't need the adapter.

I was considering finding one with a bad engine or trans for swapping.

After my 3000GT I swore off Mitsubishi. I still say Mitsubishi is Japan's way of getting back at us for WWII, Mitsubishi did make the Zero planes after all...
Bogus conspiracy theories aside... SEDAN, eww... I may feel and look old, but there's no reason why my car should confirm it.

I thought my seats were very comfy.... 
Mine were blown out by a 6'6" 350 pound giant. Even after swapping the passenger foam and covers over to the driver side it's still terrible. Still doesn't solve the problem of my left leg and arm being wedged into the door panel, my right leg being wedged into the center dash, and my right arm extending over the edge of the center console. I'm too damn broad for the car, yes I'm working on losing some weight now. Even then it's really a matter of bone structure, it's why I have to buy my suits in separate pieces. Apparently a 40 in pants with a 54 jacket isn't normal. That's right, even being overweight I have the "V" shape.

Odd it has the leather wrapped wheel and wood trim kit, but cloth seats.
Anyhow, I don't know what to do anymore. Can't find any seats to try and make the car bearable, I've been searching for ages now and nothing... I would put it back on stock suspension, but then it'll drive like ass and ruin the car...

You should be ashamed to have a build thread with a single modification done to the car.

Go to an upholstery shop and get your seats done, it might be more than used ones, but at least you will have it soon and it will be NEW. You'll for sure know you'll be the first one to have sex on them.

Has no more Celicas
I have a few small modifications with the bigger one being the suspension... Like I said earlier, it's not a matter of covers it's the fact the foam is gone. New seat covers aren't going to magically make worn out foam feel like new. If it was just the covers I'd have made them myself eons ago.

Just saw that, sorry about that. You should get the one you posted, looked nice aside from the wheels and gauges.

Honestly getting into and out of the my new Celica I think will be my least favorite thing about it. I'm only 5'8", so I'm comfortable when seated, but getting in and out is already a pain with the injuries I have. And I have nothing too serious! The Celica is a fairly low slung coupe, if you have to move on for the reason of comfort, I understand that completely.
I want to get one with lower miles and abs if I get another. Preferably an 99

It's a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation... Getting in is easier than getting out, but it's really just the comfort once driving that's bothersome. Yes it's been lowered, but it wouldn't be so bad if the seats were better. Then again if the roads weren't absolute garbage it wouldn't really matter... I don't know if there's anything I'll totally be comfortable in anyway, even riding in my brother's fully loaded Maxima I'm not entirely comfortable. I've ridden in newer cars as well, what's sad is some of them stock and only a few years old were worse than the Celica...
>
Meh, don't need ABS. No point in paying the price for a '99 when it's no different from a '96 to '98 model either... Lower miles is nice and all, but for what people want for a lower miles and later year car, the options for better cars becomes available.
