What are some thing I can do to keep my interest in my Celica? Options

[1994Celica]

Well I'm getting bored of my car. I want to to be faster, and just more fun and rewarding to drive. I want to know if there's anything I can do to improve it to keep my interest in the car.

I live in Bucks County, PA. We have lots of twisting roads along hillsides (too small to be mountains), and that Chrysler Crossfire I drove yesterday revealed itself as a highway car almost immediately. I knew it was made in Germany, and its steering reminded me of the first Mercedes sedan I drove back in the late 70's: DULL, DULL, DULL. We even had the top down, and it was still dull. It had power once you punched it, but I need steering to go with those fries. I got back in my Celica, and was instantly at home.

I like the idea of gently fine tuning and fixing up a Celica. Mine was bought very clean, but I've added a HU with DVD and satellite radio. I wax it often (spray on stuff and sometimes liquid), and the black interior keeps my vacuum busy. I'd like to add some larger wheels, but wonder if that will effect the car's handling on twisty roads...

5 minutes from our house, and miles and miles of the same!

I lost interest in my celica once, so I sold it and I've had several cars since then, but yet, here I am with a 6th gen celica again... They really do just have a certain feel to them that most other cars don't. Honestly, if you don't have the know-how or resources for a swap or turbo though, it won't be fast, but most other "tuner/import" cars out there require a similar amount of money/know-how to be fast too so do your research before you buy anything else if you decide to sell the celica. For example, I had an alltrac, put a few bolt ons to it, and it was faster than a 6gc, but I wanted it faster and the thing holding me back was the turbo, well the cheapest turbo kit for the power I wanted was like $2k so I didn't do it. Same story for my WRX... Same story for my celica GTS... Same story for my miata, except, I actually will eventually turbo that, lol. So, my advice is look on some forums of some other cars you've been looking at and see how hard it is to tune them before you buy one.

Small world, most of my family lives in Bedminster and my parents grew up there.
