Thats definately the best route. Mind you, she already has the GT-S --------------------  |

QUOTE(sinner96ST @ Sep 10, 2006 - 7:00 PM) [snapback]478177[/snapback] the 2000 models are the best to get, because in 2001+ they lowered the redline, and in 2003 they changed it to a drive by wire system. They lowered the redline in 2002. The 00' and 01' models both have the higher redline. -------------------- Teh Celica sleeps for Winter '06. Suspension overhaul begins........

i heard they lowered it to reduce emissions and because ALOT of people who were new to a high revving manual were damaging the engines under warranty, things like missing a shift and bending valves or throwing a rod.

Thats exactly true. I spend some time on Newcelica and you hear stuff like that pretty often. I've been real easy on it since i'm not used to driving the thing. I've had a few 7th gen GT's try and race me, and then a RSX-s & s2000 tonight. Ditched the first GT and then didn't mess with the others. Mostly becuz the there were plenty cops out and I knew the RSX-s & s2000 would take me. I noticed a lot of ppl on newcelica were pretty hard on the cars.

You talking about the add on to make the scoop bigger? I'd prolly just get a carbon fiber custom hood before i'd mess with that.
