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 don't think the celica is a bad car in context. my 5S just rolled over 175k and it'll still turn over in sub-zero temperatures without a hitch. That's a good car. It's also on its 11th winter (without garage) and the body rot is ZERO... that is a good car. None of the mechanicals or electronics have failed yet. The paint is still vibrant. The interior upholstery hasn't torn. And the odd thing is I'm not even all that nice to my car.

The celica is a mircale if it can hold up that well after a decade.

Might not be fast, might not handle the best anymore, but if that's why you got it, then you made a bad choice.

The cup holders suck, though.

edit--oh yeah, plus the sexy thing. people always stare at the car and admire it. "is that new" "must've cost you a leg" bla bla. Lets see your EVO get that kind of attention. A celica is a car anyone can appreciate. You'd be suprised how many people believe me when I jokingly tell them I spent $28,000 when I brought the car.
