6G Celicas Forums

Long time no visit!

Hope all the old timers are doing well, and that the new folks are enjoying their stay.

Wild to believe I joined here over 9 years ago! So wild.


Graduated college in May 2012, Bacholers degree in Architecture. Moved to Charlotte, NC 18 or so months ago. Got a job as a Manufacturing Engineer for a company that makes school bus safety products. Got engaged 8 months ago.


Sold the Celica, been gone for a little over a year now. Sold it to a younger guy, probably mid-high school. Was very excited to pick it up.

Had ~150K on the clock, and was still running strong.


I bought a 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, Auto, in Pearl White with the Ultimate package (pano moonroof, navi, heated leather etc).

Hope all is well for everyone. Ill check back in a couple of days.

In turn lane to go merge from Old Concord road onto WT Harris Blvd.

Nice ride.

eh nvm.

Bump.

Found a replacement in town (have yet to see it tho), but id rather buy the BBS set.

Cracked a rim...looking for either a replacement stock 15" 5-spoke, or a full set of (4) 15" BBS optional alloys.

Let me know.

Need ASAP!

**** This Game.

Infinity Ward's spawn system makes me wanna throw my whole xbox out the second story window. It is just as bad as MW2. People spawn behind you, 4 seconds after you kill them.

Waste of my money

1. Sleeper (N.)

Often reffering to what appears to be a ordinary looking stock commuter car that is anything but stock under the hood. Pretty much the exact opposite of your every day riced up civic.

"My bone stock looking 1967 Volkswagen Beetle with a dual carbed, big bore and race head equiped engine gives quite the ego bashing when a ricer can't hold up to his own challenge at a light."

u have to look at the K-sight like this. The car stated with 60ish hp at the crank, to make it into something with 200WHP, ur increasing the HP almost 3x to the wheels.

I think the k-sight is an interesting "science project". And if i had the money, or the know how, id do it, just because i think its cool. I doubt anyone here with a modded car, or money pit, does it because others think its cool. They do it for themselves.

no its not, because the M3 badge says it all. Not to mention the more aggressive styling ques that BMW gives there M cars.

Mak, I see your point. And yes, the AE86 is cool, and yes id love to have it. But i dont think its a sleeper.

Can we agree to disagree?

coolest because its being swapped into a toyota? and the ae86 def will not pick up chicks, or be called sexy by anyone outside of an automotive enthusiast. Similarly to the K-Sight.


To each his own, I personally have always enjoyed sleepers.



edit: "and my sleeper beauty 1988 Celica Alltrac." Thank you for being a hypocrite, thats right off your profile. I also assume thats y there was an edit on ur previous post, where u added ..""sleeper" front wheel drive cars...."

the KR-z is 17k plus the donar car...thats almost a $40k car. thats a little nuts.



So your saying, if you had the opportunity to make a sleeper Prius you wouldn't?



It is 20k plus the Insight which ranges from 4k to 13k.


I get everyone point that its not the prettiest car. But, as I see this swap/build, its ment to be a sleeper. Sleepers shouldn't be eye catching, or exude the feeling of speed. They should look stock, and should defiantly be underestimated. I don't think anyone would disagree that a Honda Insight would be seriouly under estimated as a quick car.

First gen honda insight with a K20 swap...


200WHP in a 1900lbs car.

Win?

Discuss.


Personally I find it interesting, and I love sleeper, so this is awesome in my eyes. Up side is 200whp sleeper, and 45mpg highway, Down side is I hear they will build it for ~20k plus donor car. If i had the money I would buy it/have them build me one.

edit: I feel the overall workmanship seems top notch, its not stripped out, and seems to be easy enough to DD. (as stated by LHT Performance) Honestly it looks OEM.

group B rally cars were 4 lugs.

A guy my dad works with has an volvo 240, with a Chevy Camaro V8 in it, my dad doesn't really understand the tuner scene, and asked "why do that?" The guy responded with, "its a volvo....with a camaro engine...its now sneaky fast"

The idea of "sneaky fast" is why people do these swaps, not to utilize the full potential of the motor.

I personally love Sleepers.

enjoy

the '72 Skyline GC10 is really gorgeous. Like WHOA gorgeous.

How much do YOU feel its worth?

And the worst the guy can say is , "No". IF he seems offended, apologize, say you really are not sure what it is worth. Then take it from there. Ask what he thinks its worth, or what he would like to receive for it.

Edit: I saw this the other day near me, http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/2365054361.html, but I didnt go look at it.. Hope this helps.

On the check for $400,000 + tax, title, and delivery.

Circular loom is used to weave Lexus LFA's carbon fiber.

Top Gear airing year 1990 Season 13 Episode 5

I personally enjoyed the last episode (Americas Toughest Truck), I have always enjoyed the challenges that require them to spend very little $$ and do something wild. Also, i believe the toyota was purchased for the similar 3000$ as the other 3 trucks.

i know i havnt been around much...but id like to see an update.

What are you thankful for?


I am thankful for my health, my family, the new members to my family, and a community of nuckleheads.

Happy Thanksgiving 6gc


( I bet the 4th person here, is greatful for "ball bearing turbos..and nitrous oxide" lol)

it was really terrible. to much editing/cinemetogrophy. not to mention everything they said sounded robotic, and basicly scripted. will watch the whole season, but i really have little hope for this show.

someone should make an account and contact an admin on that site that hes banned on..lol
