6G Celicas Forums

I'll take the FR-S without the "optional co-driver" upgrade shown.

PS: That 2JZ looks so at home in that bay.

We as long as I'm not the only that feels that way it's all good. I'm kind of curious as to what degree the 2JZ effects the handling and balance of the FR-S.

Haha, she was one of the Exedy models from Formula D Atlanta who stopped by to check out the car



We haven't finished the swap yet. Once we do, I'll post some new pictures.

I expect the Exedy models to be more Japanese.

Wooo, new car!

Wrong Scion.

Frs is too small. Didn't find it practical for DD.

Good luck keeping the white clean, Shannon!

PS: Good purchase, too - no matter what Ferdi says.

It's the spiritual successor to the Celica.

nice buy hopefully its the 6 speed!

Do you think white will be worse to keep clean then my black car?

Sadly it's not 6 speed where I live stick is very inconvenient. Also, I'm the only one who can drive stick in the house so if for some reason someone needs my car in an emergency it's better it's auto. Oh the decisions you make in your adult life.

Idc that the car isn't the FR-S or something faster or turbo. I like the looks of the new TC and this will happily get me to and from work with out me worrying about it breaking down.

I had a few turbo celicas it was fun but I grew out of it. I also never liked white cars, I said I would never own one and now I went out and got a white car.

The car really just feels like an updated celica the music sounds good and the sunroofs are pretty cool. All in all I have no regrets with my purchase...yet. I'll post more pictures soon.

If anything white is better since it reflects light instead of absorbing it. As much as I love black, I think I rather have a nice pearl white car given the hot summers.

That's where you just teach everyone how to drive, that's my answer anyway.

Don't worry about it, I'm sure the TC is more practical and comfortable and it should be quick enough.

White is absolutely, undeniably harder to keep clean than black.

It stays cooler though. The easiest colour to keep clean is beige, it hides dirt and pollen. Black and white are both a pain, really the only difference is with white you have to worry about staining. Reds, yellows, and oranges fade. So blues, greens, and grays are the way to go.

Definitely so; keeping my parent's Stanza (which was white) clean was nearly impossible with pollen, road grime, etc.

Red has been infinitely easier to clean.

It's also infinitely uglier and prone to fading.

The first part of that is just silly Box - personal choice, really.

And fading probably has more to do with how the car was treated/environmental factors as my car looks pretty much pristine apart from the door handles.

PS: Give red a chance.

Except from a "leasing" fiat panda this is my 2000 civic
