Hi,

the celica i have is very original...like really really original and very schmick interior. here is my dilemma, as much as i love listening to lawsy on talkback radio i would eventually like to upgrade the stereo to something beyond an AM capacity yet i do not want to tear up the perfect dash...it would be a crime against humanity. any suggestions of putting in head deck and speakers that would not fuck up the original look of the car. is it worth getting a professional to do this for me?

*my god the 2t is laughably underpowered. it is quite funny when u really have to push it to maintain the speed limit up big hills. slowly waiting until my confidence builds so that i can swap to 2tg and get rid of auto box...slowly...

Don't change a thing. Leave the 2T in it and leave it auto. I bet that there are very, very few fully original TA22 LT Celica's around.

The old 2T engine is good for about 102hp when well tuned, which isn't too bad for a little OHV 1600.

As far as the radio is concerned, mount it under the dash between the steering column and the console. I just got one installed a few weeks ago and the normal DIN-size unit fits in there real snug. It doesn't get in the way of your legs and is close to hand for playing the volume and all that jazz.
