Never get into the Modding world, The celi is just not right. Options

[soulshadow]

After thinking for a while now I am dissatisfied with the celi with the 4age engine. There are just so many cars out there that can perform so much better and go so much faster. Maybe its just me and maybe its just my crappy tuning that sucked cause my car won't go any faster, but after a while. I'm begining to think that I should have never got into the Modding scene in the first place. There is no prize and there is no trophy for beating your rivals on the streets and there is no Reputation to keep when your ride gets totaled.

So basically, for those of you starting out your Modding career in the car world, keep this in mind. A stock car came in like crap to begin with, when you start out adjusting every feature in the stock car to make it look different and perform different from the rest. Your just pooring more and more cash into a car that would probbaly turn out to be different at the end and end up as something that could never quench your thirst. If you want a fast car, get one to begin with and then start modding from there. In the end, the time you waste and the efforts and money you put in will pay off. If you start with a slow car, nothing will change unless you have deep pockets. The Celica 6Gen is just not worth it to Modd nor any other cars that came in N/A with a Slow A** engine.

This is a question i have asked myself and my freind who spent $10,000 modding his car, i also spent $2,000 on my old car that could only had 90bhp.
So I bought a car i know i was going to keep for years (celica) then slowly have started to mod it. Im starting of with a car that looks nice and has 173bhp. And ive seen first hand at a cruise this car modded to hell and it was the car of the cruise. You name it, it had it! Thats why i bought the celica.
Also dont you ever look at some crappy cars like a corsa or a saxo and think that they are a crap car. i bought my celica for the same if not less then them. Its faster, it looks a hell of a lot better and cos its older and costed less its lower on insurance (also remember when celica first came out it was 24,000 pounds). Thats what i think!! Other the pond in the UK there are like 100-1000 saxos to 1 celica maybe more. And then how many of those celica do i see modded?? very few. (Well i see one modded daily )
