I bought my Celi almost a year ago , i had really high hopes for modifying it and everything . I searched the internet for parts , no luck there !. I found 6GC and looked into the 5sfte project, 3sgte swap and V6 swap. they all cost a considerable amount of cash and require alot of time and experience , which i dont really have. I love the Celi's styling and handling. I love that it is not so common around here making it very unique. yet everytime i get behind the wheel i am a bit disappointed , we all know there is NO power in the car.
I am really thinking of selling it and buying another ( used ) car that already have around 200 HP, but there is nothing out there that matches the styling of the celica. I wish i can make it faster but i am way too inexperienced and it would cost around 4-5K , which in addition to the approx. sale price of the car add up to almost 10K , which is slightly less than the money needed for another already-fast car. I need opinions of whether i should keep it and try to mod it or sell it and get something else , now we all like Celicas and i know everybody's opinion is baised but i am a college student who is about to transfer to university with very little time and no Beater car !! also , what kind of car would u recommend ?? i was thinking of something like a : -BMW E46 ( sells for about 12-14K ) -believe or not a procshe boxter 98-99 , about the same price but insanely high insurance and parts -A V6 mustang ( i know it is a low quality car and the streets are flooded with them , but i always liked them) -a 2000+ V6 eclipse - any suggestions on a car ?? any suggestion on more power ( that is cali legal ) ?? please help em out on this , i cant make my mind up This post has been edited by NaderG: Jan 5, 2008 - 2:01 AM |
