sourced a $60 battery from local auto wrecker . Only eleven months old . I selected a ford style battery , it features reversed pole positions ( cable connectors are forward side of the battery ) gets those poles away from your new , strut brace
A front strut bar is always a good upgrade, but the one you picked up isn't as stiff as it should be. The best ones do not have any rotation points as yours does on the ends, those compromise the overall rigidity that helps in cornering. I am personally not a fan of the decals either, they tend to make the car look a bit too ricey... but to each their own. I look forward to seeing your drop when you do the coils. You will be very pleasantly shocked by the improved looks and performance when you get those.
Wow, took me long enough to reply! Sorry about that 😂 regarding the answers not too late, I felt a difference, yeah! But you did feel that the read needed a brace too!
I never thought the oil burn on mine was that bad, but saying that I'm not sure if that could have been anything to do with the lower milage. But it certainly did consume oil faster than my MR2

Did you ever figure out if you over tightened those bolts? And did the warped metal connection plate prove to be an issue?
I was able to tighten them in the end perfect fine after a bit of fiddling. And the warped metal proved fine as well if memory serves.

Where did you get the oil cap from? Does your celica burn oil. Mine does always have wxtravoil and I check it weekly.
