It's cause all the fast & furious movies inspiring kids to drive fast and recklessly... lol

this was last year driving to lake tahoe haha

I have stock springs laying around, but no struts

I have them for sales with tires

500$ cash in hand. if you do decide to tell sell them, please hit me up.

im in the bay area too, san jose. how long have you had those coilovers or how many miles did you put on it? im interested in those

check out what mythbuster have to say about throwing it into reverse in a car. it simply won't let you complete the shift into reverse in a MT

I am thinking of doing A. I already took most of my aftermarket parts off and put back the OEM parts. My only concern right now is my struts with Tein's springs because I have no other struts in place of it. If they take my car, the tein's are going with them and that would be a total waste!! If any of guys are running on stock suspension (strut, springs, and shocks), you could come by and swap yours with mine and don't have to worry about compressing the spring and all that difficult steps of springs. I don't want the teins to go to waste

According to www.insurance.com:
When is a damaged car considered a total loss?
Your insurance company may decide your damaged car is a total loss if:

1. It cannot be repaired safely
2. It would cost more to repair the car than it's worth, or
3. State laws require the company to call it a total loss due to the amount of damage

The other guy was trying to make a left turn at a T intersection (basically turning left into the | of the T), but he stopped when he saw my car heading straight while he had his front end of his car in my lane. I was going about 35 miles an hour (yes... speed limit was 35) and only had about 2 car length to react and break when he was in front of me. Then BAM! Now some of you might be thinking, why didn't you just swerve out the way? Well if I attempt to swerve out the way, I would have hit another car on the right and that would DEFINITELY have been my fault.

It was his fault because I had the right of way. He was driving a Ford F150 and his front bumper only got a small dent. The driver was hispanic and didn't have a drivers license (unlicensed.... no wonder right?). The F150 car has Anchor General Insurance... look it up on google cause it has hella bad reviews.

Well at least in the end, nothing major happened to me or anyone else thank god. I only have minor bruises on my right wrist and scratches my left forearm. I think they were from the horn thing on our steering wheel when the airbag deployed.

As for fixing the car, the cost of repair will be wwaaayyy more than the car's value so I'm thinking of just letting them take the whole car but of course I'll part it.

This is what I have in mind right now
Option A, buy another 6gc and put all the mods I currently have onto that car
Option B, save up and buy the 7th gen celica Gt-s
Option C, save up and buy the rare SW20 Mr-2

What would you guys do?

the accident happened 5 hours ago, but here it sits now.
















from my webcam, cause i dont have a camera

The desired effect of a short shifter is to reduce the distance your hand needs to move to engage the next gear, thus reducing the amount of time spent shifting, reducing wasted time between shifts, and resulting in improved performance. A common misconception in the tuning world is that a short shifter is just a chopped off version of the stock shifter. In fact, chopping your shifter has no effect on the angle that your shifter shaft travels through between gears and therefore does not reduce the shifter's angular throw.

A true short shifter decreases throw by reducing the angle that the shifter shaft travels through during its stroke between gears. By reducing the angle that the shaft travels through between gears, the distance that your hand needs to move between gears is also reduced. In many cases, the shifter shaft is also re-designed to be shorter than stock thus creating a sportier look and feel, as well as aiding in reducing the linear throw length when coupled with the reduced angular throw.

The geometry of a short shifter differs from the stock shifter in order to reduce the distance that the upper section where your shift knob threads on needs to move to achieve the same degree of movement in the lower section where the shift rod or shifter cables attach. This ensures that although your hand is moving a shorter distance, the transmission is still fully engaged in every gear. The main pivot point, or fulcrum of the shifter lever is re-positioned on the shaft in such a way that the lower section which connects to the shift rod or shifter cables is longer than stock, resulting in the desired effect.

notice, he basically said he wants the look of a short shifter. he doesn't want function, only form.

i do agree with the rest of the guys that cutting the stock shifter shorter makes little to no difference in terms of performance. For me, the aftermarket short shifter made the most dramatic difference on how the car feels. it put a bigger smile on my face than my anti-roll bar.

as for the picture showing the selector stick when cut short (looks like about 30%?), notice that it still takes a great amount of travel between gears. not much of a difference.

why dont he just steer out of the way? lol

does the ebay strut bar make a difference in terms of handling? i want to get one too but im a little skeptical of them.

Horse power sells cars, torque wins cars.

do you still have the JDM C-One Front 3 point strut tower bar?

is it me, or does the headlight looks a little hazy?

speaking of looking fast...

mmmm i can't shift into 1st when the car is about 3MPH+. even if i double clutch.

with narrow roads, cruising seems out of the picture

VieT9sD - salad with thousand island dressing.

the way i see it, if people think the 6th gen is a girl's car, it is no different than calling the infamous pure adrenaline supra a girls' car. after all, they DO both look alike...

the 7th gen will always look girly to my eyes no matter what they do to it (body kit, dropped, rims, etc...)

how did my name disappear from the list? FASCINATING

do you still have the keychain for sale?

veilside.... all the curves and aerodynamic makes the car looks too complicated. the red celica is looks simple and its pretty daymm nice! but then again, like you said, its all about personal taste.

i'll go with the crowd ^_^
