Hello everybody. like it says... this is the story of my Celica's transformation. This will be an on going thread so if it needs to be moved go ahead, thanks. I'll post pics when I get a chance. Great things are on the horizon.
The goal... to have the meanest street driven Celica in the world. Details will be added soon. --------------------  |

What do you think it will take? What are you doing with the Z? How much are you investing in that? Seeing as though you want to be the meanest street celi means you're going to have to pass Tufy among others.... And if I remember correctly, Tufy has over 25k into his engine.... My question is.... Why? you wanna swap engines, trannys, drivetrains.... everything possible.... to basically have a car that is 0% actual celica minus the shell and frame... That isn't a celica at all... I mean it's your car, go for it, but it's not a 'real' celica IMHO. Atleast Tufy stuck with his AWD and 3sgte. I'm rebuilding the Z, nothing crazy at all. Investing a lot of time and hopefully not a gargantuan amount of money This post has been edited by dustin15brown: Jun 11, 2007 - 11:50 PM --------------------  |

Investing a lot of time and hopefully not a gargantuan amount of money Nice on the Z, always loved the Zed! If I had a GT4, I would just drop 25k into it and be happy... for awhile. Since Our cars are limited in the US I have to look outside the box. If I dropped in a 3s like many others here would that make it not a Celica any more? What about the v6 guys? Airbag suspensions? Wild body kits? At what point is it no longer a CELICA? -------------------- |
