6G Celicas Forums

My car is still stock aside from springs and K&N filter, I can't be judged. Yet.


YES, those are just terrible...

My biggest pet peeve is people "tuning" automatics, unless it at least has paddle shifters. Imo with automatic you're not even feeling the car, so why try and altar the feeling? Basically I don't understand modifying something for performance when you skipped the key performance option from factory.

I mean aesthetically I don't mind modified automatics, just performance wise..

Im seeing more and more roof racks, why????

Indeed. Guess it's because they can't really drive.

I hate big pointless spoilers. OEM ones actually have purpose and use on FWD cars, like our Celica's. It adds downforce to the rear so that the light rear doesn't swing around. It also scoops air to allow you to go straight and fast without any unbalance. That's why our cars that are not GT-FOUR don't come with the HUGE spoiler and riser blocks. There is no point in that much down force.

Honda owners. There is a fine line between a fart can and a real straight through... most don't get it.

Cheap rims. What's the point in Walmart rims on a nice car, or Rays on a rusty piece of ****?

Import neglect. Lets throw a turbo on it and then abuse the **** out of it, but do nothing to maintain it so that the guy behind you thinks he's in a James Bond film due to your smoke screen.

okay, so being the Japanese Culture Major I am, I cannot stand This:


its so stupid. they put it on the most USDM cars possible too. "JDM huh? what did you do to it?" "its mostly stuck right now..." seriously...

but really Domokun (I also understand is an internet fad) is just a mascot for a Japanese TV company NHK, and had a couple shorts done about him. on top of that this JDM as **** ****. that symbol in the middle? means beginner driver first year drivers. that it... so are you saying you are an amateur driver?

with that said, I don't mind people using the Domokun thing... as long as you know what it is. I personally have domokun dice in my car (they were a gift from a friend so why not right?)

but that's imho,
Kevin

AHH YEAH. People with Civics and Eclipses that are like, "MY CAR IS SOOOOO JDM". No, you car was made in Ohio or Illinois...

For drag racing, look to see how many people, (cars with power) have manuals.
My son recently picked up a 98 z28 with an LS1 auto, there are only a dozen or so celicas
on here that would hang with it on a strip and it is bone stock.

I get a kick out of listening to people with under 10 years experience behind the wheel
talking about "feel". lol
Slide around in a 74 maverick you will know "feel", you haven't lived until you driven a 3 on the tree
sliding corners with 30 degrees of body lean. lol Drive a 68 Charger until the 150mph speedo is straight down
with bias ply tires. Feel haha
Why don't you kids worry about your own $hit.

Oh, and I will take on anyone of you in a STREET RACE!!!!
ibtl

Y does it seem like your taking this all like its against you

Oh an as far as the feel thing.

I have pegged my nova i have pushef that car just ti test myself
Compared to new cars. It handle like a turd. An feel like your gonna roll if you. Push too hard
Ive driven 3 on the tree an 4 speed an 5speeds on a daliy basis.
An im only 22
An congrats you can take a stock v8 an beat a turbo 4banger in a straight like
Well i bet half the cars on here could probably go corner fpr corner with that comaro
An you wanna race somebody come to ohio me an my buddy can runnem anytime an his civic hatch is a proven v8 killer

My dad had a 96 Z28 auto. If you got heavy on the throttle it'd spin the rear tires. No denying the manual would've been better though. I know the two speed Power Glide is usually a favourite for the strip in the older cars. We all know the old cars rolled more than the audience at a Grateful Dead concert. I guess that's half the fun, and nowadays that can be changed if you want. Bias ply tires, can you even get those anymore? If anyone makes them I guess it'd be Coker.

Excessive reving (especially with any loud exhaust on a 4 cyl car). I get wanting to hear the aftermarket exhaust (and some sound good) or showing off, but most of the time its just annoying.

Chrome wheels. Huge pet peeve for me on any car or truck that is not fully built to be a show queen.

To quote Sir mix alot "f*** you posers"

No offence, but I don't have a whole lot respect for drag racing.
Yea, its impressive when cars are runnin 8 sec's, 6 sec's, whatever, but anything thats not unbelievable fast, doesn't seem like it takes a whole lot of skill either than hitting your shifts, and having the cash/knowledge to build a car.

Probably gunna get flamed, oh well.

The hardest part is launcing the car after that it just keeing it straight

I am not taking it that way at all, and I know any 6th gen celica would crush a camero in corners with equal drivers.
I personally like my car the way it is and could care less what anyone else thinks.
I just can't see how bashing this, and bashing that, is constructive in any way. Back in the day when the mods weren't all tired of babysitting, this thread would have been locked prolly before page 2. I thought talking smack was what that chat room thingy was for.

Yeah the street racing comment was just for the lock, haha,
My stock corolla gts is the fastest car I own, and it would barely pull my stock ST.

Trends change, 8 years ago veilside kits were all the rage now they are considered rice I guess.

Before the z28 my son had a escort gt, he wanted me to put this big fart cannon on to sell it to the local ricer crowd. I had no money for proper hanging, so I drilled a hole thu the tip and bolted it directly to the rear quarter panel. lol thats about as
getto as it gets.

I guess its only talking smack if you ser it that way
Itvjust looks like everyonrs hsving a good laugh at stuff weve all done to cars in the past

paragraph one? key word useful

^this is in the off-topic section.. hell we could be talking about tractors for all it matters in this section

what is useless about tractors, no rice, only wheat and hay, yes they are my photos and yes I have driven both.
They have a lot of "feel". lol

My list of peeves would have to be other people calling each other out and trying to race each other. The smack talk involve about others being slow and bragging about the quarter mile times. When you try to bring up a casual conversation they turn into an encyclopedia and start labeling parts they have and how much horsepower it give them. The way I see it, every part on a car is an engineering marvel and people go and butcher it up with "mods" that don't compliment the car.

At the end of the day it all boils down to who has the most money. The more money you dump into a car the fast it goes. When you are "hating" on someone else car your essentially making fun of someone else who has less money then you. And that is something no one should be proud of. To end my random rant; I guess my biggest peeve is when people tie their ego, wealth, and insecurities to their cars to prove a point.
