Hello everyone! just bought my new celica last night. me and a buddy had to take a 3 hour flight from kansas to New Jersey,check the car out and make official purchase. then drive from 6:00pm yesterday to 5:00 pm today to my house. The drive was about 1,200 miles from his house to mine. I know that sounds like a long way to go just for a car, but with this car it was absolutely worth it! Upgrading from a automatic 5s-fe completely stock celica; to this manual 3s-gte celica is by far one of the best choices i have ever made. here are some pictures that he had taken, they are way better than any i can make.
    I just got back from the main street of my city. everytime i came to a sto light, people would just stare at my car, not glance but stare at it. I plan on a bunch of mods like relocating my push start button and making it blend so that i am the only person that knows how to start it  and other stuff like audio/ lighting. I don't know too much about cars, so i am hoping on learning and growing within this forum. Hope too see you all real soon!
-------------------- 1st car- 1994 Celica GT 2.2L 5s-fe SOLD
2nd car- 1995 Celica ST 2.0L 3s-gte SOLD Current car- 1996 Z28 Camaro 5.7L LT1 |

Congrats! Seems like a good purchase if you just drove it 1,200 miles with no problems. And if you don't know much about cars, owning this car will probably be a good learning experience.
And damn, you already got a nice profile set up...you must be excited! I see that you are only 17 yrs old, so be careful with that beast! This post has been edited by Celicav: Jan 26, 2008 - 5:08 AM |
