hey i'm looking to install power windows b4 i upgrade my alarm system so i was wondering if anyone has had any experience in this? apparently the gt versions came with power windows but i dont think that would be very easy to find. so if anyone has any other ideas or perhaps has any parts they might like to sell feel free to reply

your right the GT did come with power windows and if you can find the system mate thats a gold mine!!!
if you go to simons home page (TA22 GT) you will see a section bout the power windows and how he got to fit them on (http://users.chariot.net.au/~stmezz/celica.htm)
the problem with the '22s is that their doors are actually quite small for power window mods, especially with todays chunky motors that they use... now it is possible but MEH what for...
although i wouldnt mind power windows in the car (front and rear) i personally am not going to waste time and MONEY on it... but if i did come across a set of GT power window systems then i would consider it, also since my car alarm has the window function

i used to fit universal power window kits that used the manual window set-up. they where a cable driven cog that goes over the spline the window winder handle went on and a cap goes on your door card to cover the hole. they worked well and looked prity neat, kit came with momentary rocker switches, wiring etc.
it's been a few years since i done them though, so i am not sure who supplies them now days (i was at autobarn at the time, maybe try one of their franchises).
