ex-celica owner - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #11955 23 posts Started by zigy
As a ex-celica owner (sold it 3 months ago), I'm still obsesed with it.

I've also heard that the new owner ****ed it up even more!!!

I'm sad.

... I've been driving a 98 Mercedes ML320 (SUV) that I bought back in December, but it's not as fun as my old celica.

The reason that I bought SUV (besides being 6'7"), is that i've had too many tickets with all the previous cars. I'm not 21 yet (untill July) and I've already ****ed up 3 times. Yes, my license has been suspended three times. Lawyer fees have been up to $5,000 mark (heh, the price of engine swap), and basically if I would have gotten a single ticket, I would have to say bye-bye to my license for a long time.

Well that's at least untill you turn 21 (according to Illinois law since they have a lot stricter rules compared to 21 and above). Basically I've been ticket free for over 2 years (heh, I had to), and once I turn 21 one i'm planning to buy a new car. I would still keep the SUV for business purposes, but a new (used) sporty car.

All the way uptill now my choice has been a 99-00 Corvette that I can pick up in about $25K price range...


THIS IS WHAT CHANGED MY MIND

OH MY GOD SO SEXY (Celi in the new Juiced game)

basically this is the same body kit as my old celica!!!


so right now I'm debating if I should get a Corvette in July or just pick up a '99 Celica GT (Hatch) and spend the other $10K in go+show mods (3sgte + veilside).

sweet the corvette is a very nice car and very fast! so if you think you had problems as far as speeding in the celica man the corvette will kill you. for the speed and looks go for the vette. but if your still in love with the celica then itll be a tough choice. personally ill get the vette but its your choice
maby you just need to go out and buy that game when it come out.

Vette if you want a nice car that is quick. Celica if you want to do aftermarket modification. Hard 2 say 'cause i love doing stuff to my car but a vette is just sick.

lets see, combine the sexy curves of a 6g celica with the performance/rwd of a vette and what do we get... can anyone say supra?
actually I wasn't thinking about a supra, but ghost makes a very good point >wink.gif>

Already fast, 3 million+ upgrades, and sexy curves.

I would buy the 99 hatch and just dump money into it.

but thats just me, vettes just seem to be "i have a lot of money and im old so i will buy this car" to me
Vettes be fast...and if I had that kinda money I'd prolly go for a little older with low miles and mint. My Gramps just bought a 93 40th Anniversary Edition LT1 with 53k original miles and already had custom piping for $17k.

Yeah the Vette is nice...definitely ride is nice and whatevah...but man look on ebay! Find a few Supras on there in your price range and go check em out...most are in either Florida or Cali so make a weekend trip out of it or something....they be way cheaper out in them places...

And if you do go with the Vette then cool man cuz it's ur choice...but too many people have them and of those are mostly old people. That's just my honest opinion...

95 Toyota Celica GTDead for now --> Soon to have a 3S-GTE02 WRX --> This is for speed- Borla Exhaust- TurboXS BOV- Custom CAI02 Civic EX- MB Quart Reference 5.25" Components- Rockford MTX 8" Subs in the doors- Alpine Type S Rear Fills- 2x Alpine SWR-1042D Subs in a custom fiberglass box- Alpine F345 Amp for the front doors- Alpine M605 on each Type R- Phoenix Gold wiring- Alpine CDA-9855 Head Unit- Alpine Amp link- 2x Rockford Fosgate 1 Farad Caps- The best Viper 791 alarm install ever
Lets just say this: Vette = car a guy buys when he's going through his mid-life crisis.
Vette or Celi... Just look at your options.. with a vette you have the power to back up the looks.. but you also have a car that all those rich men that are going though their mid-life crisis buy cause they couldn't afford the car when they were 21..

celi.. you have a sexy ass car that really doesn't have the muscle to back up anything... but who cars about that.. cause why would you want to drive such a sexy ass car so fast that other people can't see you in it..

than again you can put enuff money in to a celi that you can plow the doors off a vette if the money is put into the car the right why..

me i would go with the celi.. just cause reliablity issues ... i have 202,XXX miles on my celi and she is still going strong..

Guys which games is that?
Whats the title of it???
GAME - "Juiced" 3rd Quarter 2004



Honda S2000 - no back seat, can't recline seats to fit in | really really small interior | no leg room and head room
Nissan 350Z - no back seat, can't recline seats to fit in
Mazda RX-8 - no leg room at all

STI and/or EVO - when I recline the seats I would've been looking through the back windows, they are really small 4-door cars


oh, def the vette, thats going to be alot more reliable then any celica... sorry but true, I mean the best american car they make.. at least i would say. Im thinking about buying an older one, an i mean older, i saw one today at the college and was like humm... Maybe just stop puring money into my celi get a vette be done with it.. and have a phat car..
