I have a Honda Civic at the moment and Ive had it since I was 16 years old. Im 20 right now and think its time to move on to a car that isnt so popular. I know a lot of you wont like my car but its my pride and joy and something I have spent many hours with my father working on. Ive been a member on the site for a few days and spent my time just looking around and its nice to see some people with knowledge. A lot of your cars seem very tasteful - something u dont find in the honda world very often. So any input you guys might have on my search for a Celica would be greatly appreciated.

Well I don't think your Civic is anything bad. Not digging the wing, the rims seem small, it is four doors...it's all one color at least;)
Best of luck with your search! Have you driven a sixth gen? -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

you'll be amazed with the difference of the handling between the 6th gen and your civic. (your civic has it's own taste, good stuff) Welcome

I too was a proud civic owner. Then I switched to a celica. Now I have a celica for the summer and a civic for the winter. Welcome to the club.

mom has an 03 civic that I despise but that is because you sit too high up/ auto/ and it has no power. I doubt yours is any of those though and I do dig that color on it.

Welcome to the site. The only draw back i think you'll get from going froma civic to a celica, is the celica has very limited aftermarket suport. Which also means some things will cost more. but look so much better. This post has been edited by Digndoug: Jan 23, 2005 - 11:43 AM |

fixin up a 6gen is way funner haha it's a challenge findin parts. good luck searchin for one

my boyfriend has a d16y8 (stock ex motor) with a $5000 edelbrock turbo kit on it.. it's a great looking car, and he's spent about $20,000 into mods, performance and exterior/interior/sound... to me, it doesn't matter what car you drive, it's the passion! if you like doing up cars, have respect for others that have the same interest even if you don't like the car! personally i was wanting a civic for a long time, and i was gonna get one, but then i found the celica and got that instead, honda's make AMAZING vehicles, just as good as toyota, but it's all preference

Before i had my Celica, I was looking to buy a 99-00 civic EX/SI. Now that I got my celica I really want the civic instead of the celica.
I'm not into bodykits,fenders, or all those fancy/ricy things. Just going JDM all around. Some civics look so nice with just a JDM lip, dropped, and some really nice rims. Plus keeping it OEM just looks so clean. I'm also a member at honda-tech. And that is the most ANti-rice forum. Maybe you heard of it. |

[right][snapback]237200[/snapback][/right] glad to see another person around here that appreciates honda's, there's nothing to hate. if you don't like rice, don't like it, but honda's aren't the only cars that do ricey stuff, i've seen ricey celica's before too, honda's really can and DO look good. -------------------- |
