5th to 6th gen _ welcome to me! Options

[Rayme]

First things first, I ADMIRE YOU ALL !!!!

I've been browsing through the member's ride forums and various other topics and I just cannot beleive how clean most of your 6th gen celica look like! You guys make me proud to be a celica owner! Rice meter to a sub zero level, you guys are awesome.

Back on topic

I've been the owner of a 5th gen for the last 4 years and despite the lack of power (thus quite enough for everyday) there is nothing to say a bad thing about it. But all good things come to an end...does it?

I've always liked the 6th gen look over the 5th gen and this summer I'm really considering getting a nice 97-99, and doing a st205 "visual" conversion..the look is just MEAN.

I'm not quite sure what's the point of my post...but maybe you guys can understand me...I'm having a HARD time deciding to sell my 5th gen..I spent litteraly thousands in maintanence and repair to keep her in top notch condition and the thought of letting her go for 3-4K is very sad...What would you guys do? I was thinking of swaping a 3sgte into her and keeping it as my "hot rod", while using the 6th gen as a daily driver.

Anyway, alot or mad props to all of you and your clean cars!

Hope to hear some of your suggestion and hellos .

wow very clean 5th gen...and it even has the all-trac front bumper. sweet well staying with ur 5th gen or getting a 6th is totally up to you bro. you obviously have done much to your current celica and it would be a shame to let her go. but if you like the 6th gen look better maybe u can sell your 5th for higher price so that you dont lose too much on it. personally i'd keep the 5th and still buy a 6th!

Welcome
Thats a hard decision to make.
But if you've got the $$$.
Try to have both

[ThAixGuYx2k7]

sweet..another canuk. as for goin wfrom a 5th gen to a 6th gen, all im saying is hopefully you have better luck finding parts for a 6th gen than i do here in Toronto. Its next to imposible to find any thing here. But yea, nice car. Welcome 2 the site.

i had a 5th for a couple years and boy was it a great car! loved it so much but didn't have the money to keep it so I sold it. now im driving my 6th gen and it's great! keep the 5th gen. im planning on getting another 5th gen - alltrac baby! you'll regret selling it

[chacha]

i say keep it too and just try to save up some more money for a project 6gc...you can find one for 3-4K...just gotta keep your eyes out... keep it...you spent money on it already...its a part of you now...use that for daily drive and build a newer powerful bigger brother>>>6GC with the 3SGTE!

[o0black0o]

[snapshotgt]

Very nice and clean 5th. gen, you can tell yo uhave really kept that baby up...and for that reason, i'd keep it, and build it up to be a hp beast! But moreover, do what you really want too ...even if that means getting a 6th. gen and selling your 5th...our 6th. gens do have some of the hottest body styling everrrrrrr!

That's a very nice 5th gen. I like it better than a good bit of the 6th gens I see. I'd like to have a nice 5th or 7th gen, or 1st gen, or second, or 4th gen all track. Maybe not in that order though. 4th gen is last. I think with a 5th gen you wouldn't have to worry about it being pretty and you could just make it fast. And I wouldn't feel bad putting a 2nd gen 3sgte in it. They seem smaller, but I know they aren't. I'd like a little smaller car. That's why the 1st/2nd, and 7th are at the tops of my list. I would just keep that 5th gen though. It's very nice. I love them pop up headlights.
