Hey all, i just got a 94 celica GT 5spd about 3 weeks ago. I had a 89 240sx before this, car was in mint shape and some girl went thru a intersection and side swiped it...
 so i took the insurance money and bought my new baby..i gotta say i'v had some things to fix and some troubles with the car but i love it....i owned a E30 bmw before the 240sx and i gotta say the celica is by far my favorite vehicle i have owned yet to date  .Been doing some research and i am hoping to put in a 3sgte but first i want to make the car completely mint with everything working top notch. i hit the 180,000kms on it and the timing belt snapped, took about 3 hours to change and 40 bucks for the belt. My drivers side front rotor also decided to warp on me and so i just went out and bought all new rotors and pads front and rear....although i still need ebrake shoes which i can only find at the dealership for 38 bucks each shoe *cry* but anyways...just figured i'd say hi and join the family lol -------------------- 94 Celica GT Hatchback 5spd

lol my e30 would have ate my celica up once it got to 160km's or so but i think it would have had alot of trouble catching up to the celica to even get to pass it...the 2.2 surprised me really, lots of low end torque i love that. all though the fronts tires dont seem to like it as much lol
