Well I'm getting bored of my car. I want to to be faster, and just more fun and rewarding to drive. I want to know if there's anything I can do to improve it to keep my interest in the car.

Meh, I rather have a car with superior power over handling. In a perfect world you get both, but that costs a decent amount of money. Unless you live on a majestic mountainside, car with good handling doesn't really get much use. All the roads where I live you can take at above speed in a truck of all things. So, yeah... Give me power.

Disagreed, good handling to me speaks of a proper car, and that always has use. 95% of my driving is 45~ MPH city streets, and I utilize me handling daily, just depends on which corners can be taken swiftly. That's the best part of the 7A. it can be flogged while remaining at legal speeds.

So handling capabilities is irrelevant.

I've been thinking a Miata would be better than my Celica. I've always liked them plus RWD is just better.

But then everyone will question your sexuality. I've on and off thought about the Miata before, then I remembered it only has some 110 horsepower.I would probably go with a 1.8 which has 130ish so its not far off from the celi. I know some people think of it has a "gay mans car" or whatever but I honestly don't care. QUOTE (Bigblock @ Mar 7, 2013 - 9:42 PM) Just give it to me!! You will feel fullfilled with yerning to do a good deed in helping another Celica fan!! No more worries of boerdom!!!   JK JK!!   I would actually like to sell it to a forum member. That way I know it's going to someone who appreciates it. -------------------- JDM Part King
