I've been pondering on the fact that all my friends are building their celicas, but for what?
I have a buddy with a 3rd gen swap with a turbo upgrade, but for what? He doesn't plan on building a drag monster, is it for his own enjoyment? Or is there a purpose to build it? Show car maybe? Another buddy is building his 5s and also upgrading his current turbo set-up, but for what? He never pushes his car. My purpose is to make on bad azz rally-x car. I could give a rats ass on the rock chips and the strain I would be putting on the car, its for my enjoyment. Whats your purpose? -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

Well, we all have our own reasons inside for building our Celicas. For me, it's a learning experience. It's a lifestyle, even if you don't race, enter shows or competitions. It's a way to express yourself and interact with people who share the same passion as you. I build my car for myself, not just to be better than anybody else. When I drive my car, I feel what it's missing and I try to improve what I believe that the car is lacking. In the end, I will have a car made just for me.

A few reasons everyone else has said and more...
Enjoyment of working on my car, to enjoy driving and look good doing it, to give the interior the look/feel of a newer, expensive sport luxury car, to have a nice-sounding, balenced, powerful sound system... basically to "enhance my daily driver" When my car is no longer my daily driver (I don't plan on selling anytime soon) my goals will change... 3S-GTE swap... My car is my hobby and what else would I do in my free time without it? -------------------- |

why cry? You're building another Celica. Yes its not a 6th gen, but something to show them old school muscle cars.

Turning heads while driving, knowing that you have a good ride, and get compliments from friends and randoms at caar parks. And the fun driving around in it. And something to be proud of (unique and different)
