If you had 4 grand....., If you had 4 grand what would you buy Options

[Celicam8]

My GF just bought a Yaris and damn, do I love that new car feeling, everything is tight and shiny and un-rusted. My celica feels lose and it would cost more than its worth to change all the bushings

...lol... sounds like a woman

Young.. , everything is tight and shiny and un-rusted.
Old... lose and it would cost more than its worth to change all the bushings

Ok my man.
Dont listen to the negative comments, if yo u go to defgephs file you can see that he has a step by step instruction manual to swap a st to a 3sgte, i am 19 and have no motor experience but am going to do it, although i am mecanically inclined. study the facts and see how long it takes to swap, dont be scared of power, respect it. im a extremist and was sent to boarding school in costa rica forr a reason. to tell you the truth i havent even been driving for a year yet and im allready drifting and topping out at speed above 150 ( i work at a toyota dealership) so its all about confidence and practice, i drive frobably 3/5 of every day just getting to know my cars handeling. i have a 94 gt right now and im fully confident that i can handle more power, after all i fly down i 45 at 150+. its not about the car, its the driver. just the other day i smoked a corvette because he didnt know his car enough to judge gaps between cars. get to know your car, then make it faster. i dont think you realize that a swap will take about 2-3 months depending on how well u are mechanically. so with this said, you will need a lil commuter car. i wouldnt bother with the suspention just yet, check this link out, http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=28825&st=0 , then see if you still want to do it.. i found the clip i wanted for 1800 and ill be able to get it for 1400 becasue of our dealership account with jdm. you will have to upgrade a lot of your st parts to gt parts but thats all included in the 4grand price range. defgeph says he did a st for 4 grand and from the looks of it, i dont doubt it. the only thing aobut tuning the st motor is later on you will want more power, but cant. theres no replacement or dispacement. and the 3sgte is made for the boost so it wont croak on you. boosting your high mileage engine looks to be a waste of money to me! if you want we can even do these swaps togeather. just msg me and well se whats goin on.

Your FACTORY Celica GT can go 150+ MPH... also the Corvette lost to you because of gaps between cars? Looks like your messing around in the street with innocent people around you...

I totally agree with you man. That right there just shows how young and dumb you really are. You know what I really think that the corvette was just cruising and you passed him by and thought you were racing him. And yes a factory GT has no chance with getting to 150 +. Julian don't listen to that guy. Take it the advice from us older guys. We've been there and done that. We are just trying to lead you towards the right direction.

[Shocker]

take it from me..save you money..I love my czr to death znd still put money into it.But when i was 17 i bought all my turbo stuff about 3 grand for the st. 2 years later i still dont have it all on, well its on and running but i need a clutch.ohh back on topicSave you money let it grow intrest in the bank.you will thank yourself in the long run.

like i said earlier do what yu want to your car, dont listen to their negative feedback because they dont even know **** about what you got goin on, only you do. so make your car yours!

[Celicam8]

bike vs vette... lol lets see all the advantages a bike has over a vet... Plus.. no street racing talk..

[jdg371]

No where in your whole "speech" did a Bike showed up. I haven't seen a negative feedback anywhere in this whole thread. We are simply stating the ADVANTAGES of the HAMPSTER POWER the Celica produces...

As "Monkey" says do what you want and don't listen to anyone's advice. Monkeys and everyone in this whole thread..

And to Monkey, messing with innocent people around the area is RETARDED as can be. Everytime a family or friend of mine gets close to an accident due to a retard thinking the street is a place where you can practice your "Need For Speed" skills, it pisses me off.

Take it to the track or a ENCLOSED area.

[playr158]

oh shweeeeet squids on bikes doing 150+ racing vettes.....you are SUPER cool!!!!!

just know when you wreck most the time....you die.

don't keep being a squid.....those speeds should NOT be done on the street.

here is positive advise STFU.

[jdg371]

here is positive advise STFU.

I was close to adding a "Why don't you have a nice cup of STFU" but I wasn't trying to start an E-War..

[Jared95]

he will learn....and it doesn't matter how good you think you can drive its the mother F*** that pulls out in front of you and u slam into him even though you think u have decent driving skills...**** happens keep it in mind next time your doing "150" racing a vette....hahaha.

3sgte it man, u wont regret it, and yes my z had sport 500's on there, put down 327 to the wheels on a hot day, and i drove that thing in the rain and snow, and believe me i enjoyed every bit, and I sitll beat everyones ass in a race around me

[cel97ica]

i dont look at the comments negatively, i look at all of this thread as advice on what direction i wanna head in, ive already had help leaning me in more of the direction i want. I want a faster car, i know im 16, young, need more driving experiance, i know that anything can happen too you even if you say it never will because it already has to me, and i also know i bought my celica for a reason not because it had low hp but because i wanted a car to work on and too were i could say, i did it myself, so thanks to everyone for the advice, and im still thinking of what to do.

[thespacepanda]

Wow monkey, I can only wonder if you're the dude in the red GT that was weaving through traffic on I-45 like a pissed off 16 year old while on my way to work. Please tell me you don't have gold badges.
