so i trade the 3000gt for a miata. it's a slower, more fun car, plus a convertible. I got a few tickets I didn't really need to get, and then i realized i shouldn't be driving something that can go fast that easily, so i found a guy on craigslist, and traded them. It's a 90 Mazda Miata MX-5, 5 speed. It has practically no power options. It does have power steering and an incredibly fast working, powerful A/C. The paint is nearly flawless, and the interior is in really nice condition. It has brand new speakers all the way around, plus a 12" woofer that takes up the entire trunk that i'm contemplating removing. She handles really well; apparently the last owner replaced all the suspension on all four corners. I like this car way more than the 3000gt though. not as much as a hassle. she does have an intermittent stalling issue, not unlike my celica ( in fact it does the same stuff that my celica used to) but i have ordered the ecu, as i popped it open, and sure enough, things were burnt. So that should be fixed soon. The first day i put the top down, i cracked the rear window into a lot of pieces, but just yesterday i bought plexiglass and cut it and glued it to shape, and it looks really nice.
        i love this car. but i still want to buy another celica and have this. So if any one is selling a project celica for cheap, let me know. --------------------  1994 Celica GT, coupe, 5 speed. Front strut brace, cherrybomb glasspack, intake. |

Ferdi will be jealous. Although the Celica has a lot more curb appeal than a Miata, I've kind of always wanted one. They're genuinely fun little cars to drive, cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, and can be made to look good.

Good trade IMO!
