What do you guys do when you're at an all time low? Options

For some of you guys who know me on here or know me on a personal level, you've seen my celica transformation over the year. I have had my car for about a year and 7 months.

I've went from having a stock motor stock body celica to a 5sfTe celica to a gt-four front end 3sgte swap celica in that period of time. I used to come home and spend time on ebay to look for nice parts for my celica or browse and drool over others on this site on what they've done. But being a student and only working part time, I don't have the money to do the things I've done to the car.

I am a little bumbed out because all my celica buddies around me have big things going on for their motors. Either building it up or upgrading to a larger turbo for more fun. I had plans for suspension work for auto crossing, but I just feel like giving up on her. Just no time and money.

Lift up my spirits guys.

there are moments where you reach the top, either because you run out of money, or there is nothing else left to do.


I have a TRD bumper sitting in my garage, because i dont have the time nor money to get it professionally painted.

I have a 2 post wing, sitting in my garage for the same reason.

I even have a toms lip, that i dont like no more, that i will probably rattle can in the mean time i get the trd bumper.

I feel bad, cause i spent money that im not ejoying and i will.

I have 200dls worth of fabric, for my seats, that i dont have the time to upholster. I am really working 70hrs a week now, and sometimes 30 on saturdays. but ill survive, i barely finished the interior upgrades.

I would kill to have a better engine, better than the 5sfe, maybe a beams (there is one now in ebay, and i cant buy it) but its going to have to wait.

Just wait. A lot of people regret selling their cars. think it over, set up realistic goals.

To start all over again? with another model, on the dark side. hell no, not me. I have promised my daughter she will drive the celica for her sweet sixteen. and shes only 7.

Time will be your friend. What if you have the ability to get a real GT4, what next, swap? to what. upgrade the engine, for what?

Its time to just enjoy your car, and show off. Really my celica is one of the 2 Limited edition verts in my area. So rare that nobody knows what it is, thanks to the ghost emblems. but i still enjoy it.

Sit down, close the door, crank it up and relax. you have come to the place most people want.
