6G Celicas Forums

Very off topic, was mentioned before, but I have 17 days until tie-ing the knot. Then finally I can focus on my celicas again

I'll see how they are in the wet. It's supposed to rain here in the next couple of days. It was a toss-up between these, the Bridgestone RE760s, and the BFGoodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2s. The comparison charts on TireRack made the decision a lot easier. I was going to consider the Nitto NT555, but there wasn't really a way to compare those to the other choices except by pricing. Either way, these are soooo much better than the Nexen N3000 I had on before.

I've had the bridgstones RE760s on my celi and my matrix and they've been awesome. been wondering if I should switch it up and try something else too seeing as I need to get tires for my 7th gen rims.

yay! congrats!

Congrats!!! Also, that's what you think.

The Sport Comp 2's are a good tire, but they're stupid noisy. My brother has them on his Genesis and between around 35-50 mph there's this rotational drone that's fairly loud, but he has a sound system that drowns it out easily enough so it doesn't really bother him. Me on the other hand I don't like having music loud while driving so I'd go insane. There was something about the RE760's I had read about I didn't like, but it eludes me at the moment.

Thanks!! Im staying hopeful, she knows I love my celica's.

well she's got 17 days to make a run for it. hahaha but congrats!!

Haha thanks!! The good thing is she can not get mad at me anymore, I bought her 16 corolla s special edition to replace the tc i gave her back in 2010. Now its fair game for me to continue my hunt for my supra and or ls430 ul. Compromises haha

Hey that tC will be collectible with Scion dying off and all.

Scratch that, it was the Sumitomo HTR's I was thinking about.

I'd go for the LS430. Owning a supra is great. Supra ownership, is meh.

Im leaning towards a ls430, extra play money to have with the car, looked at the ls460l and wasnt too pleased with it. I love how large the back seat is, but 9/10 ill be driving so i will not get to enjoy it. Driving the ls430 felt tighter imo.

Combine the two and get a SC300/400.

More like a GS.

Yeah, if I ever HAD to get an automatic sedan it'd most likely be a Lexus GS. Though I don't foresee that ever happening.

Filled the shift knob with .177 lead beebees and plastic epoxy, went from 105 grams to 155 grams. Had I hollowed it out more than what had been done for the thread insert I could've made it even heavier, but really didn't feel like potentially botching it and I'm happy with what was added.

That can be fixed.



ProCharged LS2/T56 swapped.

Mmmmm torques... Makes me wonder how much an used Cadillac CTS-V is these days though. Which you could always do a W58 or V160 conversion behind the UZ I spose.

They make adaptor plates. a buddy of mine in Oklahoma has a W58 bolted to his 1UZ in his SC-Fo-Hunnid. He says it's a pretty fun combo.

I think the first gen CTS-Vs are in the mid to upper teens while the 2nd gens are still holding pretty good value especially the wagons.
