6G Celicas Forums

I've been pondering on the fact that all my friends are building their celicas, but for what?

I have a buddy with a 3rd gen swap with a turbo upgrade, but for what? He doesn't plan on building a drag monster, is it for his own enjoyment? Or is there a purpose to build it? Show car maybe?

Another buddy is building his 5s and also upgrading his current turbo set-up, but for what? He never pushes his car.

My purpose is to make on bad azz rally-x car. I could give a rats ass on the rock chips and the strain I would be putting on the car, its for my enjoyment.

Whats your purpose?

to enjoy what im going to be driving alot...

to be able to pull up to the light,look at the honda to ur left,the scooby to ur right,and know u can torch both of them if needed..(but of course u dont because u respect the rules of the road)

my reason is to say "yea that is my car.."

and to enjoy driving...

enjoyment/hobby

make heads turn and people ask questions.

to have fun driving to work, and to be proud to say "that's my car" when someone asks me if its my boyfriend's car

Well, we all have our own reasons inside for building our Celicas. For me, it's a learning experience. It's a lifestyle, even if you don't race, enter shows or competitions. It's a way to express yourself and interact with people who share the same passion as you. I build my car for myself, not just to be better than anybody else. When I drive my car, I feel what it's missing and I try to improve what I believe that the car is lacking. In the end, I will have a car made just for me.

im building mine for a few reasons...its a life style..i cant leave stuff alone...i want to turn heads with it and make ppl realize its not a lil girly car..id like to be able to take it to the track and have some fun and really just enjoy it......i plan to achieve this by boosting my 5s....changing up the exterior to my liking and just a generaly clean car...

i'll give ya 3 guesses.

i think jesus told him to...

To look like and handle good, but just as a daily driver really.

Oh man, I hate to see you pull up next to a Viper on the left and a Hemi Cuda on the right...or ANY bike...

A few reasons everyone else has said and more...

Enjoyment of working on my car, to enjoy driving and look good doing it, to give the interior the look/feel of a newer, expensive sport luxury car, to have a nice-sounding, balenced, powerful sound system... basically to "enhance my daily driver"

When my car is no longer my daily driver (I don't plan on selling anytime soon) my goals will change... 3S-GTE swap...

My car is my hobby and what else would I do in my free time without it?

quiet your mouth...haha

but i believe an awd 3sgte would put them in their place

Its nice see all the reason why you build your celica. This keeps my rallyx dreams alive.

it gives me something to do, i enjoy working on her

and for Auto-X

:cry:

why cry? You're building another Celica. Yes its not a 6th gen, but something to show them old school muscle cars.

if i was to do it for the sound of the turbo, give me goosebumps when i hear it lol

Turning heads while driving, knowing that you have a good ride, and get compliments from friends and randoms at caar parks. And the fun driving around in it. And something to be proud of (unique and different)
