Hey guys,
Just bought my 1995 Toyota Celica ST about three weeks ago and have quickly fallen in love with it. I always admired the sixth generation models and after a month and a half of non-stop looking I found her on Craigslist for the reasonable price of $2,700 (Reasonable because i found it in Orlando where people are famous for their overpricing). The previous owner took pretty good care of it. I had a bit of a scare when it started over heating not too long ago, but it was thankfully just the thermostat. I have to say that I am more than thankful for this site. It has already came in handy. Even though I they are known to last, my Celi already has 166,xxx miles and she will be to the best of my abilities my "Project Car/Daily Driver." So in advance I would like to say thank you for all of the old threads with answers and any new ones that might pop in my new threads. I'm soon to tackle quick projects such as: Short Ram Intake, Lowering Springs, New Front Bearings, Tints, even a new shift boot... Please visit my page and let me know what you guys think.

QUOTE its always another idiot driver that takes mine out I feel ya man. There are some dumb drivers in mid-Florida and my old Honda was a victim of that a while ago. That's why I take the back roads to school now. QUOTE Good thread, good thread. Thank you Ferdi, I appreciate it. I'm looking forward to hearing about the meets. Just have to get her up to par or somewhere near that!lol. QUOTE ill be in Orlando in 3 weeks Nice to hear man. I'm around the UCF area, if anything. QUOTE good to have another purple in the group! And I intend in keeping her that way. You have a very clean GT. Your cruising wheels and suspension set up looks very nice. |
