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.

I think that you should try enjoying what you've built and don't worry about what it isn't. Like somebody else said, there will always be a faster car than yours. It's just all if you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

I see modifying as bringing a car to its full potential. In the case of our Celicas, it can be done with great sucess and at a fraction of the cost of similar performers.

EDIT- I think real enjoyment of your swap could be found if you step back to understand the purpose of that motor....its an awesome engine that was designed to operate at 10/10, day in and day out reliably, and rev high with a quick linear throttle response only found in a low-displacement flyweight 4 cylinder. Sure its not the fastest motor, but its the balance and potential available with the 20v that you may not realize. Enjoy it for all its worth, because I would have fun with that thing if it were mine.
