First things first, I ADMIRE YOU ALL !!!!

I've been browsing through the member's ride forums and various other topics and I just cannot beleive how clean most of your 6th gen celica look like! You guys make me proud to be a celica owner! Rice meter to a sub zero level, you guys are awesome.

I've been the owner of a 5th gen for the last 4 years and despite the lack of power (thus quite enough for everyday) there is nothing to say a bad thing about it. But all good things come to an end...does it?

I've always liked the 6th gen look over the 5th gen and this summer I'm really considering getting a nice 97-99, and doing a st205 "visual" conversion..the look is just MEAN.

I'm not quite sure what's the point of my post...but maybe you guys can understand me...I'm having a HARD time deciding to sell my 5th gen..I spent litteraly thousands in maintanence and repair to keep her in top notch condition and the thought of letting her go for 3-4K is very sad...What would you guys do? I was thinking of swaping a 3sgte into her and keeping it as my "hot rod", while using the 6th gen as a daily driver.

Anyway, alot or mad props to all of you and your clean cars!

Hope to hear some of your suggestion and hellos .

That's a very nice 5th gen. I like it better than a good bit of the 6th gens I see. I'd like to have a nice 5th or 7th gen, or 1st gen, or second, or 4th gen all track. Maybe not in that order though. 4th gen is last. I think with a 5th gen you wouldn't have to worry about it being pretty and you could just make it fast. And I wouldn't feel bad putting a 2nd gen 3sgte in it. They seem smaller, but I know they aren't. I'd like a little smaller car. That's why the 1st/2nd, and 7th are at the tops of my list. I would just keep that 5th gen though. It's very nice. I love them pop up headlights.
