6G Celicas Forums

A buddy of mine who works for Honda told me that Honda makes their brake rotors out of scrap metal left over from when they make the rest of the car, so he recommends that those get replaced with better ones as he has worked on a few with the OEM rotors and they cracked. How true can that be? I've no idea, but it's just something random I was told.

Nice car though. I thought about getting one of those before the Celica mainly cuz that body style is one of the few that doesn't get stolen here in town and it's got Honda reliability.

As for the 3049867340 parts for the Civic compared to 249 parts for the Celica, it's all generally the same parts with different brand names; some with slightly better quality than others, but when it boils down to it, most are mass produced in China. How else do they keep up with the demand from tastefully done/riced out Civics? It's up to people like us 6GCers who let our creative juices flow and experiment with stuff to get us stuff like custom 7A-FTE exhaust manifolds, 5S-FTEs, 5S-GTEs, 1MZ swaps, and so on. That's where our aftermarket support comes from. Just my $.02

edit #2: now that I think about it, it's probably about demand. Silly me.

You're ignorant since you haven't driven the model Civic that you're mocking.

yeah that model is a good ride as well that wishbone supension is pretty good

Congrats on the car.

Its too bad everyone seems to be hating on it though. I like it. Its not necessarily the most stylish car around but it is certainly a platform that you can play with. I mean, its a perfect car to be a sleeper. It doesn't look like a ricer car (yet) and it drives a hell of a lot faster than my car does (and my car DOES look like a ricer car).

Just get a K20 and you're set or there's even a small community that does great things with the D series, though you'd have to strengthen the bottom end a lot.

Dude, if you like your car, that's completely fine. I hope you and her have many happy years together. However, that is just my opinion and it'll stay that way.

RJB- STFU and GTFO, not your car, not your thread, not your place to bash or repeatedly state your opinion..... It gets old very quickly and shows your ignorance and lack of maturity.
*rant over*
I agree completely with Mike here.... Get what makes you happy, and everything else shouldn't matter. Goodluck with the car we hope you stick around, and as always, your photography is very well done

you sir, are my hero

Check my last post, that's exactly what I said as well. But fine, you have your point.

Marry me.
