After putting well over 10,000 dollars in changes, mods, restoration, parts that are not even on the car or I replaced, etc., I have decided to sell my celica. It has made me satisfied over the past years, there is just so much potential with these cars, but with USDM versions not being able to back up the looks with speed i feel it outweighs its worth to change the motor. I will sell it for its blue book price no matter what I have put on it. I just think I will sway over to another car like another former celi member and instead go with the SC300. I think I will be able to satisfy both looks and power by getting what is so close to a supra, which I think the SC and celica are. It's a disappointment that after all the time, money, and labor I have put into it, I feel strongly about letting it go. I have not spent or done or cared much about it for months now. This is a sign that I may have lost interest. I do not enjoy driving it either, it feels just like a car now. Maybe not for others but this is it. Once I find a replacement, I will not turn back. I just wished I could have taken this car with me all the way till it rusted, but sadly not having a J Spec version or available parts or shipping issues is killing me to go further, like hitting a plateau.

depressing to see many people go away. But do what you got to do. understandable

why are we only interested in speed. everywhere is posted 55MPH, the celi does that.

i rather be a slow turtle in risk of extinction, than a fast locust, that you can see everywhere and need to be terminated.

Sorry for the analogy.

I agree celica bad for a daily driver, but its good for the occasional "I have never seen a car like that" Just my .02.

Good luck tough.

Unless i total my celi, im not selling it, period. biggrin.gif

lol. I wouldn't have thought of that one.

I would love to have an sc300 or mr2 with a little more potential than the celi, but they just cost too much imo. GL with all of your guys' new rides.
