Newb Here!, Have a Honda Looking to get a Celica Options

[flaccid]

I have a Honda Civic at the moment and Ive had it since I was 16 years old. Im 20 right now and think its time to move on to a car that isnt so popular. I know a lot of you wont like my car but its my pride and joy and something I have spent many hours with my father working on. Ive been a member on the site for a few days and spent my time just looking around and its nice to see some people with knowledge. A lot of your cars seem very tasteful - something u dont find in the honda world very often. So any input you guys might have on my search for a Celica would be greatly appreciated.

[Akimbo]

Well I don't think your Civic is anything bad. Not digging the wing, the rims seem small, it is four doors...it's all one color at least;)

Best of luck with your search! Have you driven a sixth gen?

[Jen]

I'm glad you have decided to get a celica. I think you will be very happy with your choice. Stuff like this makes me happy.

[spunky393]

you'll be amazed with the difference of the handling between the 6th gen and your civic. (your civic has it's own taste, good stuff) Welcome

[Junior]

I too was a proud civic owner. Then I switched to a celica. Now I have a celica for the summer and a civic for the winter. Welcome to the club.

[maikl]

you will be pleased with your choise

never thought id say this about a civic but yours is really nice except for the wing, but defintly go for a celica!

[vangSTa_celica]

Your car is pretty clean. Its nice to see people who are dedicated to their cars. Its all about the passion. Keep us updated on what happens. Hope to see your around here more often.

[Jaws4God]

Welcome. Sweet Ride!

[slipgun]

Very nice civic actualy man, but its always nice to get a fresh start. Welcome to the site and good luck finding a 6th gen!

[dstrbcelica]

my sister has a 2002 civic. i hate driving it. i love my celica.

[SinisterWhisper]

mom has an 03 civic that I despise but that is because you sit too high up/ auto/ and it has no power. I doubt yours is any of those though and I do dig that color on it.

My Bro also has a civic, its an 94, but I still do not like driving it.The celica handles rides and feels so much better.

Welcome to the site. The only draw back i think you'll get from going froma civic to a celica, is the celica has very limited aftermarket suport. Which also means some things will cost more. but look so much better.

i'm not a big honda fan mainly because they're not hard to fix and the ones i've seen are always ricy. but yours is very clean. i like the color. but not feelin the wing. but atleast it doesn't look like a shopping car fixin up a 6gen is way funner haha it's a challenge findin parts. good luck searchin for one

[SlowCelica94]

Does that have a B16? Please say it's not D-series

[95gtschick]

my boyfriend has a d16y8 (stock ex motor) with a $5000 edelbrock turbo kit on it.. it's a great looking car, and he's spent about $20,000 into mods, performance and exterior/interior/sound... to me, it doesn't matter what car you drive, it's the passion! if you like doing up cars, have respect for others that have the same interest even if you don't like the car! personally i was wanting a civic for a long time, and i was gonna get one, but then i found the celica and got that instead, honda's make AMAZING vehicles, just as good as toyota, but it's all preference

[hs2g]

Before i had my Celica, I was looking to buy a 99-00 civic EX/SI. Now that I got my celica I really want the civic instead of the celica.

I'm not into bodykits,fenders, or all those fancy/ricy things. Just going JDM all around. Some civics look so nice with just a JDM lip, dropped, and some really nice rims. Plus keeping it OEM just looks so clean.

I'm also a member at honda-tech. And that is the most ANti-rice forum. Maybe you heard of it.

glad to see another person around here that appreciates honda's, there's nothing to hate. if you don't like rice, don't like it, but honda's aren't the only cars that do ricey stuff, i've seen ricey celica's before too, honda's really can and DO look good.

[boosted_K2]

welcome to the site! enjoy your stay

my buddy has an 05 civic HX... cant argue with ~40 MPG lol

[CheesyLobster]

IMO anyone who puts a lot of time and effort into anything that they love is a cool person, even if its a honda. Welcome to the site man!

[Rjb23]

Civics are nice cars, and at least his isn't neon green or orange or baby blue.

Not a fan of that hood though.

[macavely]

welcome to the world of low end TQ ...

[flaccid]

Im glad to see you guys like it. Ive taken some crap for it especially the spoiler like most of you mentioned.

[shadycrew31]

ehh. i dont mind civics. just most of their drivers. and i hate integra drivers. but lude's and accord guys are nice. as for your cars most of the civics around la look like well elts jsut put it this way if you have a teal civic with chrome wheels and half the tint peeling off yrou windows dont try and race me.... please. anyway all that aside your car is very clean.. looks like you love her/him. diggin the hood and the projectors. i had a nice civic on my team back home. i like them for what they are. as for handling celica will always rock it. ehh if i were you, id test a 6th gen keep the civic. have fun with life. who knowsyou might wind up sellin the civic later, and doin a nice 3s swap.

[ArizonaRed]

I love both toyotas and hondas. After my new 94gt is finished im prolly gonna get a prelude. Civic looks clean. I have celicas because I trust toyota and think the 6gen is great looking. My brother fixes up honda CRX's and races them, while im doing celicas. Have fun -Welcome to the site!

[H8DC3lica94]

I have a 98 4dr civic. I dont like it much cuz my stepdad is adding alot of rice to it.

This is an old pic. the car is in black primer and there is a type r wing and z3 fenders on it now.


Heres my Celica. As you can see it doesnt compare.

[Consynx]

^lol

i actually like everything on your car other than it being a 4-dr

If you decide to get a celica, you will find out how truly had it can be to swap an engine(depending on what you go with)

[Kwanza26]

My peoples are all Honda guys... I'm the lone Toyota man...
My cousin's "new" B16B powered Civic Hatch


My other cousin drives a 2002 EP hatch with a straight-up race built K20A... but he doesn't like to post pictures of his car anywhere... so I'll just show you this...

Yeah... it's at 9k rpms and yeah... it's really really fast...

I've got a Prelude for ya if you're interested, I'm ready to get back in a 6th gen

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

If you give me the details on your car, and if you still have the stock bumps, sideskirts, ect, I might like to trade you. Same thing goes for the Prelude. Don't get me wrong, I love my Celica. I just want something I can turn into a real rocket.

[apexi_gt4]

I'm just as new as you and look for a 6g but hey welcome. I was at first looking into a 90-93 Celica All-Trac Turbo but I figure it much be better performance to get a 6g and swap it with a 3sgte All-Trac motor. Good choice on picking celica. I my self was looking into Hondas but I hate it when in your local area you see too many of them around. I want a car that's not so common to see.

[CheesyLobster]

prelude and s2000 = best hondas by FAR.

My Prelude is all stock. 1995 Special Edition (basically an SI with every option)
79,000 miles, 5-speed, tan leather, Cashmere silver metallic paint, limited Honda 5-spoke wheels. All in great shape, regular oil changes, no wrecks, etc. SEE PICS HERE

lemme know if you've got any questions!

[doGGy]

dont forget the rSex Type - S (sex)

prelude and s2000 = best hondas by FAR.
[right][snapback]240384[/snapback][/right]

[Consynx]

Romas, that's Acura here...not sure if they were saying Hondas in general, or sold by Honda


but your way...NSX
a dream car....

[Nemises]

Welcome to the darkside I gaurentee you will turn more heads in your celi than you ever will in a civic unless your civic has a full celi conversion that is. Goodluck and good move.

[Kwanza26]

[right][snapback]240491[/snapback][/right]

RSX makes it an acura. If it were a Honda, it would be called Integra. =P

Anyway... yeah, K20A best current n/a 4 cylinder hands down...

[richgt4]

Welcome to the world of Toyota ownership. You'll love it. I do anyway

[right][snapback]240378[/snapback][/right]

At local meet ups that I go to, people still come up to me & ask what car it is.

'A GT4' is my usual reply.

To which they say 'Uh?'


Thats why I chose the 6th cen Celi over the more common Scoobies or Evos. Not that I could afford an Evo, but that's not the point here

I just love the Coupe shape of the celica & the ass is just soo phat.

Rich

[doGGy]

Any difference, i could say the NEW teg, but you guys understod me anyway

[94GT]

If you're looking for something cool, you might check out the 240SX. RWD, a little more power than the celica, and still a unique car. Not as pretty looking (outside or inside) but they've got a pretty big following, too.

[25thcelica]

naw 240's are not all that. and to me they are not unique cause I see like 7 or 8 a day. now our cars I can go for months without seening one that is what I call unique, but don't listen to me I also still have much to learn about cars I just think that the Toyota celica is a good car.

(p.s) good luck man on finding a 6 gen and trust me you will like it I had a 94 integra before the celica and it was fast but something about the celica just amkes it so much better.

oh and one more p.s me am drunk so sorry if I typed something worng
