converting over to a Celica - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #21218 13 posts Started by clobrown
Hi guys i'm getting rid of my 91 civic and plannin on starting all over again with a 6 gen celica >smile.gif> . I've been doin some research but still am looking for some assistance. in about 2 months i should a proud owner of one. i was wondering about if there some things i should look for and what to get and not to get. So if someone is willing to give me some advice it will be well appreciated. thanks
definitly get a GT, it has more HP, 4 wheel disk brakes, and I think sunroof's are standard.

Other then that there are several options.

There is a coupe, hatchback or convertible. On top of that the front bumper on 96+ models have a different style and include fog lights on the GT trim.

And get a manual...
k thx i found this one on autotrade.ca and the same one is also on hebdo.net it's 95 gts it's going for 9,900$ CDN is that to much or is that about the right price. it has about 166,000 Km
GT's dont have standard sunroofs.

Well these cars are horridly expensive in Canada, but as far as Canadian prices go that's not bad. You'd find one with about the same miles in the states for $5000USD easy. That's about $6250CAD. But it's a lot of hassle to import one from the states so it's your call.

I paid $12400CDN last year for my 94GTS with 115k. I knew I was paying a lot more than the car is worth (the bank only values my car as $4000 against the loan).
Get the hatchback! It's definitely the best looking of the three types, and from what I can tell, the easiest one to find body kits and other extras for.
ya i realized that the hatchback ones look alot better those are the one i'm going for .if the one i found on autotrade is still there in a couple months i' might pick it up.. and thx ppl for the info...

I think a hatch w/no wing looks better than the rest... but if you want a spoiler definitly go coupe.

nah don't worry it's all good different tastes.... >biggrin.gif>
yeh... sight david's car or your car and of course a coupe looks good... but a stock hatch vs a stock coupe... hatch all the way. Hell, modded hatch vs modded coupe = hatch most of the time also. And the coupe is a mutt car, where as the hatch is the real thing >wink.gif>
