Hey Everyone,
I'm just curious as to why everyone bought their sixth generation Celica. I bought mine because I saw a red hatch with 17" Focal Z1 rims at school a couple years ago, and I fell in love with the looks of the car! I thought I'd never be able to afford one, but I got a pretty good job more than a year ago and now I'm loving life with my Celi. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Former motorcyclist, balls shrunk/brains grew. Ditched the Kawasaki for a Toyota under the "toyota built tough" illusion. Required two door sports car with a minimum of 2.0 liter engine. Ended up with a 3S-FE powered SS-I having no clue about the different suspension/performance options, thinking all Celicas were 2.0 liter sports cars boy was I wrong.
Anyhow, Since then I upgraded to an SS-III with the 3S-GE/LSD/Superstrut/2pot brakes and I thought I had found my Celica heaven, boy was I wrong again. Now I have a 1996 GT-Four, now this is what Celica is all about, the rest are childrens toys. -------------------- Mike W
