Do you regret getting your Celi? Options

[1bwilson]

Has there ever been a time where you were ready to pack it all up and get something faster, better looking whatever it may have been that caught your eye? I almost did once with a blue Subru 2.5 rs. The only thing that stopped me was my wallet, the car was 17g's and I still owed about 6 on mine. To this day when someone says nice car I thell the its theirs for 15 thousand. The day someone says yes is the day I sell my car. My bro's GF offered 10.5 but thats as close as I have gotten.

LOL, yea the only time is when I think about how they lak in performance, but on the other had the styling is soo sooo......great. ITs not another HONDA and its different than anythign anyone else has around here. So basically im saying somethign drastic would have to happen before I would consider selling. Although I wouldnt mind dropping a different engine in but, prob not since im soooo................LOW lol.

There was a time when I was considering selling my car and getting something else. I really, really wanted a hatchback and something fast, so I started looking at Integras and I almost bought a black '94 GSR with 30,000 miles for $10,500. I was gonna buy it, but my parents decided that I didn't need an even bigger car payment or a faster car, so they didn't let me.

Now that I look back I'm glad that I didn't get that car, because it seems like everyone has an Integra these days. It's rare to see another sixth generation Celica here in town, but there are Integras everywhere.

Every once in a while I would like to have more power but then I also want to be orriginal. Thats what I love about this generation they are rare. When we were crussin gatlinburg durning the 2002 Pigeon Forge Celica.net Meet I only saw maybe 1 other 6th gen. But I love my car.

i never really questioned or regret getting my celi, it's so rare around here that anything i do to it seems to catch attention, plus there are starting to be more of a market for our cars, so it's all good to me, good job on the sight coomer!

i regret getting my damn st. i thought it was a gt when i bought it, cuz it said so on autotrader. i found out it was an st after coming to this site (hmm a gt badge on the gt...imagine that). i guess its not a bad thing since my insurance is cheaper with the st. other than it not being a gt, i pretty much love my car.

i thoght about trading my car for a second gen Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. they all wheel drive and turbo, everything i wish my celica was. i didnt do it because i found out about a serious crank walk issue with those cars (you engine can die at any time!). other then that i love my car.

All of your are very lucky to own a celica.

I am hoping to purchase Miss Cell next year.

They are very rare vehicles. Always remember, swaps are alway possible to those of you who really want a GT bad.

Once you can get parts for the celi, keep and enjoy it.

I think that the GT overseas has the 3S-GE engine in it with either 180 or 200 horsepower. Am I right west_minist?

Yea about 3 months ago I went to Honda, yea I know, whats wrong with me? I was having some problems with my brakes I thought it was a Toyota problem. but it turned out to be that the break line was loose. But i got that fixed and now i love my 95 ST even more. I'm going to keep my car it the wheels fall off.

[TRDracerGT]

Sometime i think bout it just because of the lack of performance mods available but i mean the funnest part is fabricating and being original. I enjoy that alot.

hmmm...interesting...the name of my car is Miss Celi...so umm, yeah...wanna buy it?

But seriously, thats her name, missy for short.

My car has served its purpose...I wanted a chick magnet...the celica is that, specially being the bright iris pearl color. I met my current G/F because of the celica, she is a big fan, so you know. I found the celica when I went to look at a 5.0 vert...lol. O well.

[GTCelica99]

I bought my '99 GT in October of 2001. I figured it'd be the perfect car to mod. Boy, was I wrong. I cannot believe the lack of aftermarket support for this car! It's unbelievable! Anyways, I was sorry at one time that I bought it, but now that there some companies starting to make aftermarket items for the 6th Gen, I'm happy for now. The car just kinda grows on you after awhile. Plus like others have said, it's not every day you see a 6th Gen Celica driving around. But, I'll keep mine until it gets replaced with a 93-98 Supra SE or TT. I have a brother who works at a Mercedes dealership in Clearwater, FL. He's going to keep an eye out for me and when one comes in, I'm heading to Florida to make a trade!

The only time i ever regreted having my celi was around the first 3 months of owning it. The guy i got it from didn't take very good care of it and in that 3 month period of me having it everything that had that cheap ass sealer on it just gave out .. I had to replace the radiator,hoses, water pump, warped head repair, then the whole engine itself....But at least it runs great now

[sinner0423]

You know.. while I'll never regret owning my celica.. I do regret not doing enough research in to potential of the motor, and the aftermarket support for it. It didn't even occur to me, that I could do so little to it. I kinda feel bad that there's such a small Niche on the net for it compared to other japanese imports. Oh well, I love the look of it, I wouldn't trade the look of it for anything. That's the only reason i'm keeping it around. Besides, down the road, I can do so much more to it, It just takes a lot more cash.

I suppose if anything this car will teach me the mechanics of an automobile, what makes it run, and what makes it run faster. It's more of a learning experience than anything for me.. I love reading up on the celica.net forums with all you guys, it's techno babble that means so much to me (If only I could understand half of it.)

Oh, and I like it when cute chicks ask me "is that a supra?" lol.

i never regret buying the celica why cause it wasnt meant for drag racing .. take your celica to a curvy road and youll see how good it feels and how you can keep up with the faster cars....

and as far as parts go i am currently talking to a few performance shops on parts to be custom made for the 6 gen 7afe and 5sfe , ill keep you guys updated on what parts i get... also if there are rare parts out there that you might want let me know im pretty sure the shop i talk to can get them for you
later

I think that it's the SS-II and SS-III in Japan and a few other overseas countries, and the GT in some other overseas countries. I'm not really sure on that though.
