Well I finally went out and bought myself a new car with the insurance money from my totalled Celica ($5000). After shopping around for a few days I found a really nice '95 del Sol Si with under 90,000 miles that was painted red. I got it for $3500 and now I have $1500 to spend on the car. I'll get some pics up in a few days after I get my camera back from my friend.
Only bad thing is that the car has a giant spoiler on the back but I'll have that off by the time I get the camera back. See you guys, I enjoyed my time here and even though I didn't get another Celica, I still might lurk around here. Oh yes, and I do plan on swapping the del Sol engine to a bigger one so that I can actually get a decently fast car. |

Sorry to bust your bubble but this car has more power and is lighter than the Celica, although I probably would lose to my dead '94 ST in a straightaway race with my torqueless wonder.
Oh and I'm not a sellout ks. The Celica ST is slow, I came to that realization a while back, and the only way to make it fast is spend $4000 on a 3SGTE swap or $1000-5000 on turboing custom, and there isn't really that much after market support for the Celica. I really loved my car and I miss it, even though I'm driving this del Sol now, I would have rather had kept my car than have to get another one. Besides, I will probably spend less money swapping/turboing the car than I would have with the Celica because it is so easy to find Honda parts and they aren't that expensive + my dad has the hookups at several junkyards and the guy will give me parts for free because he's tight like that. And what do you mean hooked up? Riced out cars aren't fast, that giant spoiler doesn't do anything for the car than make it look like I'm a moron driving around with it on. It'll be off by tommorow, I can guarantee that. Besides I could get a Prelude engine or GSR engine or wutever Honduh people swap into their cars, and I do plan on turboing it too. Oh yeah, and Tercels will not outrun del Sols, maybe a Paseo Sport will, but a Tercel is just... lol... This post has been edited by Phat_Boi: Apr 4, 2004 - 8:13 PM |
