Hello Everyone! Few Pointers Please Options

[DeAcevedo45]

Hello forum members. It seems that I have overlooked the 6th gen Celica while in search for a "tuner" type vehicle. Just recently the distributor on my previous car (Ford Probe GT...great performing car however) died so I ended up selling her. I swore that my next vehicle would be a reliable brand I can depend on, and what better car make than Toyota correct?

So, finally, is the 6th Gen Celica a solidly built car? Is there anything I need to worry about when buying a Celica? How does it drive, torquey all the way around the RPMS or does speed kick in? Im used to upgrading cars mechanically and electrically but does the Celica make it almost impossible or very user friendly? Any other tips or heads up advice are greatly appreciated.

By the way I really love the exterior styling of this gen Celica especially with some work to it, and the inside appears to cradle the driver. Thanks for the future advice and hopefully I become a frequent member here.

since we are on the subject. I bought my celica because it was all I could afford at the time. My 89' 240sx hatch was broke down and I didn't have the time, patience, knowledge or money to fix it. Sold it to a kid who's dad is a mechanic, and they got it going. My ex (who I was with at the time, although we are still good friends LOL) thought they were sexy. So to impress her, I bought it. It has a salvaged title, although it still has power and was with low miles. I thought of toyota as just being reliable, inwhich they are. Although, when I seen Tufy's GT4 on youtube, I had to see what these celicas could really put out. To be honest, my dreams were to get any 240sx (really a 97/98) and fix it up, or a Mazda RX7 (Which I wouldn't still mind having). But for the price of buying an RX7 + mods vs Celica GT (Conversion to GT4) + Mods...... Celica wins.. Plus not everyone is tackling this. They are going after the Evo's and Subaru's. Not too many cars in the US with AWD might I add. I think this conversion can be respected amongst anyone! Because the job is tough. We have so little to work with. Anyhow..... That's my story. I agree with homeboy above.... Fords? Not good. They brake down like crazy. Ask anyone, unless it is an old american classic (Yes, even though I love imports, you cannot underestimate their durability and performance) don't buy american cars. Japanese cars last a lot longer, but even Mitsubishi motors can wear out fast. However, they all last. American cars are only good for about 5 years (even if that) before you have to trade it in, get less than what you were buying it at, and then get into another P.O.S. American car. Although I do like my roommate's Pontiac Solstice. Okay I am talking too much. THE END.
