I talked to XAT racing yesterday about the stage 1 and 2 swap that we talked about here the other day...its a good price and they seem like pretty decent guys! i asked some questions got good answers but forgot one major thing...i forgot to mention I have an automatic. the guy said that i might as well get a GT that is manual so that the swap would go easier (and cheaper) im glad i talked to the guy at XAT because the shop here in charlotte seems like they have the know how, but i dont think they really know what theyre gettin into....oh well...im thinking that maybe i should just give up the whole dreamer thing of the 3s and get a honda or something like every other schmuck in charlotte...GUYS PLEASE TALK ME OUTTA THIS im in one of those moods again....

First a Disclaimer:
To any Honda lover or not hater wink.gif
Please dont hold any of the following words/sentences against me!


Are you stupid. No no and again NO!!!!!! Dont get a Honda. Common people drive a honda. Guys with no taste for class and style drive a honda.
If you gonna go trough with it i will take a plane to Charlotte and Whoop your a**.

Unless your gonna get a S2000, then i would say go for it!!

Theres nothing wron with hondas, there very nice cars, and can look awsome. Butt theres just a ton of people that have them, which makes it not as cool, also you'll have to do a lot more to out do the next kid.

The thing i like about the celi, is the fact its rare, and looks nice and handles great. Yes a engine swap is a pain, but well worth it, only if you really love your car. I am not in love with it that much to deal with a swap. but enough to hang on to it for a bit.

never never give up! Come on now! Imagine what would have happend if some of our "senior" members gave up every time they ran into a problem? I'm sure that if you ask some of them they will tell you that it's worth it to deal with the problems and you get an amazing result.

wow, i was being optomistic. this is a new thing for me... haahah tongue.gif

My opinions about Honda's are simple, they're great cars, but their just too many of them around... gets boring to look at after a while...

Picture a scenario.... Red Honda passes by, bodykit, rims, etc, etc... Your standing outside somewhere what do you say...

"Nice rims..."

Not damn nice Honda etc... cuz they're so common... Now a 6th gen celica comes by, bodykit, rims, etc., etc. What does the common person say...

"Damn, thats hot what was that...."

Kinda understand...

HONDA's are nice but PLAYED out.

I was in your exact shoes my friend, and sadly i sold the ceilca and bout a dsm...the only thing i miss about my celi is that it never broke on me, but since your lookin at a honda, realiablity wont be an issue...so from one tuner to another, sell the celica and get something tunable....someone said a crx, and that might be the best way to go...you could get a shell for like 500-1k bucks(must be and si, four wheel disc brakes, nice seats..etc) then drop any b series in....or you could do what this kid did..get an ls or gs teggy motor, built the **** outa it..dartin sleves, pistons, cams..etc, then turbo. This kid i know off runs consistant 11's..jus some food for thought

One thing I'm really proud of my car is its uniqueness, its beauty, its curve, it's rally looking, it's rare...

This one time when I was at my friend's house and they were all trying to name everyone who drives an Accord... friend, that friend, friend's gf, another friend's mom, friend's whole ****ing family... then they've gotten to the Celica, my year, specificly.. cuz they all think it's nice and beautiful.. guess what? only I drive one. Me. Me only.

I was so proud of my baby.

I agree, thats one of the many reasons I love my car. Another thing is that if you look on any of these performance part websites, or e-bay, or even in Autozone type stores there is Honda stuff everywhere. It seems like its so easy for them to find stuff. Idk, I like that my car is rare and that i have to actually look for stuff. Know what i mean? And of course the fact that not too many people have a 6gc. Everyone and their mom has a honda. tongue.gif

i dont really understand what you would gain by getting a honda. you trade a slow car, that needs a swap or a turbo to be fast (the celica) for another slow car that needs a swap or a turbo to be fast (the honda).

if anything trade the car for something that came turbo from the factory, like and mr2, alltrac, wrx, etc...

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
