im sick of my slow @$$ car...., im gonna buy a honda or somethin Options

[CelicaBuddy]

yeah i dont blame ya for being upset about the celica being slow

I have friends that always wanna try and race me. Racing is dumb IMO anyways, but I'd just like to have a faster car... Not to beat everyone else, but just because I want one... I dont really care about how fast my car goes, but speed would be a nice touch

well, the mustang v8 gets 5 mpg less(compared to GT celica) in the city and highway (about 18city/24highway) but its 3 seconds faster in the 0-60 (5.5). depends if your willing to sacrifice fuel efficiency for performance.

Getting back to what was said earlier...

Don't get on the Honda bandwagon. I'm not knocking Honda or anything, but they're just too common.

I live in an extremely small town. A town with 25 Civics, 2 Preludes, about 500,000 Cobalts (really only about 4, but those are so ugly that it amounts to 4 more than I'd like to see), and a slew of Neons and Eclipses. And how many 6GC's? One. Mine. I can't say how many times I've been in town and said, "Oh look, a Honda." And even though I wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of hanging with a Prelude, a Cobalt, or a Neon, it still amuses me that I could hang with all of those Civics that are supposed to be so amazingly badass.

Short story - My '94 ST, completely stock at the time. '03 Civic EX, LOADS of bolt-on mods (header, exhaust, intake, ignition, etc...). Both 5-speed. Who won? I did. That was the point where I was ultimately not impressed with Hondas. And the look on his face after I showed him my stock 7A against his $800 investment in bolt-ons - priceless. Anyway, racing is out of my interests right now. MPG > WOP.

There's a guy here that owns a Shelby Daytona (the only one in this town) that runs 11's in the ¼ mile on street tires with a Quaife LSD and boosting around 22 psi. Jumping on the bandwagon doesn't mean you'll have a fast car. My point here is the same as everyone else's. With enough time, enough money, and enough elbow grease, you can MAKE your Celica fast. I've raced plenty of races that I didn't win, but it's not discouraging me. Our cars have potential, we just have to unleash it.

Seeing a video of a 5GC GT-FOUR blowing the doors off an R33 Skyline was all I needed. But alright I'm done ranting.

delta...ive never seen you before on here but YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!! I agree...its just i get in my i wanna kil my car moods, and it boggled me that i lost that bad to antother st (even though i have automatic) maybe its cuz i gutted the exaust that i have no launch...ah well...i like street racing, watching not really into running but with what i do with kids all week i need somethign to release the pent up stress. probably why i need the rush of adrenaline when the lights chase us. i have a serious problem...

18 city/24 highway as long as you keep your leg out of it and the wind is behind you i liked my mustang but i love my celica

[hurley97]

if you had a stock celica i might say yeah go ahead get another car...or at least get a manual GT.

but it looks like youve put a lot of work into yours...i say turbo that sh*t! lol

i drove a turbo'd celica and as soon as i got out was ready to give up my auto ST

and even if you cant beat EVERYTHING its more respectable having built it and extremely different

eff hondas! lol

[ray405]

just get a ST205 gt4

[Kadett]

just get a ST205 gt4

Just rub it in a bit more that they can not get the GT4 in a legal way!

[ray405]

it wernt ment to be offensive, i know they are harder to get in the US,
as they are rarer over-there but what do you mean by illegal?

[hurley97]

a true 100% stock JDM ST205 would never be legal in the US

too much has to be modified to conform to Department of Transportation rules to be able to register it legally

[ray405]

Thanks for explaining that as i didnt know! just thought they where rare,
didnt mean to offend anyone

[hurley97]

keep your celica man, i had a 1994 celica hatchback and the car was awesome.I powerslid through ever tur i took, ran on an empty tank for weeks,drove it everywhere,barely ever changed the oil and basically beast the living **** out of the car.It just kept giving back, kept running every day after day.Then i also felt the car was too slow and traded it up and bought ym self a dsm.Eclipse gst, fast ass hell, 115 more hp than my manual st celica with the exhaust,cai, and boost controller.But you should be aware that goign fast cost money.I changed the oil every 2700 miles, babied the car and yet my tranny went out, the turbo died, and i had numerous ppl try and break into the car.I sold it 3 months after i got it and got a prelude which i love but i still miss my old celica.So basically be happy with what you have, they can be made into fast sexy cars, it just takes time and a whole lot of patience.

somebody told me if i wanted something fast, do what you did, get a dsm but also buy a good set of tools (indicating it would break lol.) hmmm. im not going to give up hope.... i havent saved up all my stripper money yet... thanx dude...

[daazndood]

u dont need a dsm. just get a GSR or a VTEC lude and it'll be enough. also, it'll last long as hell too.
