The large frame alternator from a 1997-2001 Camry with the 2.2L(5S) will fit the Celica with minimal modifications. I had to grind the staked washer on the alternator a bit on the pivot side, and unbolt the bottom of the adjuster bracket to let it slightly swing out. Result is a 220A alternator in my 6th Gen to power the upgraded sound system without my lights flickering.
Pros: powers sound system, no flickering
Cons: minimal modifications needed

Castrol Edge is usually cheaper than Mobil 1 and will be as good.
Can use 5w30 or 5w40.
0w40 or 5w40 will give you slightly better engine protection if you drive at high rpms more often.
I wouldn't use anything cheaper or different than those two really. You don't need more expensive oils than those either.
Pros: good engine protection
Cons: expensive oils

front brakes are solid, i had trouble finding break disc locally for 4x100, and calipers you can buy rebuild kits or whole new ones.
Pros: solid front brakes
Cons: hard to find disc

Did this years ago in my 5th gen, not because of more Amps, but because for some dumb reason the Alternator for the Celica was $250 reman (back in 2014), but Camry's in the Junk yard with Good OEM Alternators were plentiful. That was after I had 3 reman alternators fail in less than 6 months, 2 being DOA!
Pros: good OEM alternators plentiful
Cons: reman alternators fail

Try to test the suspension the shock absorbers tend to wear out after the years so you could start to hit the bumper on traffic humps.
Cons: shock absorbers wear out

I got done years ago for a polished aluminium radiator in a 1985 4th gen Celica.

My first new car was an ‘82 Toyota Celica. I put 3 radiators on that car within 10 years. The OEM radiator had a copper core and plastic tanks, held onto the core with a crimped clamp all around. I don’t think that they paid much attention to expansion rates and coefficients of expansion of different materials when they designed these, and the seals would eventually give out and begin leaking.
Cons: seals give out, frequent leaking

both thermostats were Starline from EuroCarParts in the UK. Last year the car started occasionally dropping temperature when travelling on motorway. It then eventually stopped getting to operating temperature... I replaced the thermostat... it started behaving same as the old thermostat. ...I replaced it and within a week it failed again. Every day it was taking longer to warm up.
Cons: failed within a week, not holding temperature
