This is Celica related - read on.

OK I got an extreme dilemna here. i already have my GT2 which is my weekend car/money pit. So as to not drive that everyday I just bought a LS400 with low milage and all the options for my DD. It needs rims, suspension and paint. But today along comes a black ES300 from a friend that just needs an ignitor coil [Which I have laying around] to run great. Good paint, great tint, stereo etc - It's got the 1mz-fe. I'm half tempted to buy it and garage both the other two cars and just DD this one -or- buy this one and a Celica shell and build a v6 Celica.
On the other hand - don't I have fcukin enough cars as it is? IDFK what to do.

Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

Yeah car-karma. i got it. that's why i laughed rolleyes.gif

So to BOOST your Car-Ma then you should give me the gt2, Take the vert, V6 swap, force induct & then..... tongue.gif i shouldn't even waste my time finishing this sentence should I? laugh.gif

IDK man, It's a damn good deal, But you really dont have the room & IDK about the depth of your pockets to run a DD, a track-star, & a swap project (requiring 2 frames kindasad.gif ) Seriously, that's 4 parking spots right there. I dont think you can do a part out in that parking lot either kindasad.gif So... It sounds freaking awesome, but IMHO you should rather flip it, or pass and put the same money into the GT2.

Again, i mean no disrespect, but with you just getting the LS and everything, maybe it would be best if you let this one slide. Or 700 fliped for 7000, and then fix my sh!t laugh.gif
