Will soon say goodbye Options

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.

Just an update...decided to keep my celica. My lucks in finding a good condition SC has failed. Saw many that did not entice me at all. I've decided to add a full SS-III front end - COMPLETE. and all the parts are already ordered and in transit. Dr. Tweak, has also been helping me get parts to upgrade my transmission not to mention found me parts for a full manual conversion. Major thanks for that Doc. Also, getting full coilover suspension and upgrading my sound system at the end of it all. I've given myself some reason to stay even though the car is old. I'm putting down roughly 5,000 for all these parts rounding up my total to about 20,000 dollars since I've had my car. Originally I was talking to Malpaso and Azian with a gt-four front end swap but it seemed like I couldn't get the frame rails and crash bar to do a legit swap, not to mention shipping to my place is insane. Well thats my story, decided to stick around and keep going. For the rest of you, not sure how you feel about the new cars coming out this millenium but the 90's had the best of performance, styling, and reliability...and not to forget, jam packed with JDM goodies.

Glad your stayin trdproven you have one of my favorite cars here, I agree with you on the 90's car they are also easier to tune/mod too.
