New to the forums. I just wanted to check in here, I got offered the Yelli Celi the other day, I've been into Toyotas for a long time, so I've seen Coomers build thread and what he did to that car.
Just sad to see the car has gone down hill so far after all that work he put into it. The paints faded, it has one out of four trumpets left for the individual throttle bodys left, the paints almost gone on the front, the wheels are terrible. Can Coomer take his car back? I'd like to see somebody love this thing. |

That car made its history in our gen celicas. Sad to see it go downhill like that. I hope mine will reach this fate. I rather have it rot in my backyard than let other part mine out.

Not sure how much he wanted, he was trying to trade me for my S4 RX7 GTU I had up for 3200.

Yeah I bought it from Coomer and fixed some of the problems that would prevent it from being a daily driver, and then I sold it. I went to buy it maybe two years later and the car was toast. The kid that had it at that point had thrashed it. None of the body panels fit right, it had been broken in to, different wheels, and the engine sounded on its last leg. I told him I wouldn't even offer $1000 because it wasn't even worth it. He came from $3000 to $1000 immediately. I still walked.

Always a heavy thought in my mind when I consider selling something of personal value. Shame to hear this car has gone so far down..

Always sad to see the Yelli Celi circling around on craigslist, but by now all people see it as is outside of the forums is a junker. Definitely take someone who would want to sink the time and money into bringing it back to life not someone who's looking to get 3k out of it then drop to 1. I think the last time I saw this on CL it had 3 of the 4 intake trumpets and missing some of the splitters, maybe a sideskirt.

How much is the guy asking? If it's not too much I might be interested.

It's been years since I saw it on CL last. I emailed and was interested but after more details came out I could see it was junk at that point. He still wanted north of $4K for it too.

Someone posted pictures of the car on the last thread. It looked like it was in a sad state. I mean, just save it by crushing it. Body dinged up, missing exterior parts, engine ****ting, just very bad. By the time you restore it, you could buy something nice

If it were a iconic build in the honda world or mustang community it would have been picked up in a second and restored.
Unfortunately this is the Celica world. And most of the community is cheap. I myself never really had much fondness for Coomers car, but at that time I was interested in Rota wheels and flamethrower kits out of SuperStreet Mag I really think at this point only Coomer could revive this car. Id be surprised to find someone else with as much (assuming) emotional attachment --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |
