2003 Toyota Celica T-Sport
Discussion
In all fairness, it does sound fantastic when the revs are up 
Spacers didn't effect the handling negatively in any way. I can't really say if it was a positive as I couldn't feel much of a difference, nor have I had the chance to track it before and after. They're just there for cosmetics!

My Step-Sister has one of these, but in yellow! I was vaguely aware that there was a 140 and 190BHP model. I assumed Her's was the former, I was pleasantly surprised when I hit 6200RPM!
Her's isn't a great example though, it's very tappety and the EML is on and no-one an seem to trace the fault, the interior isn't wearing too well either.
But I'm a big fan of the car, so much so I'm considering a Corolla T-Sport as my next car.

Ah yeah it's most likely a T-Sport if it's yellow.
So I've bought a spare set of headlights for the bargain of £10. Plan is to split them, wet sand the outsides and the insides to make the lenses like new, give them a thorough cleaning inside, and also spray the inserts black.
The U.S. versions of the Celica had coloured inserts as an option on one of their models (the Tsunami Celica if I remember correctly). I'd never go as far as colour coding the inserts, but I'll see what they're like black, as a lot of newer cars have black inserts. It may modernise it quite substantially!
If it doesn't, the it's only a tenner photos to follow

Fantastic! Really pleased to hear
So I made a start on the spare headlights I bought for a tenner. Jeeeeesus christ they're a state.
Look at this for how clouded, faded and scratched they are:
There's even bugs inside
And when I started to sand, the water turned yellow instantly. Eww.
I've sanded them, but they're still clouded and scratched so they're well out of my hands as far as self-restoring them goes. I'll either get a polishing head for a drill, or pop them off to a body shop for them to do. As the plastics are separate and as they're spare headlights, I can literally drop them off and forget about them until they're done. They only need a good machine polish and they'll be fine!
