" GOOD LUCK ON YOUR INDIVIDUALITY." 6th gen celica dont get much respect >>

No Celica gets much respect, yet everyone praises the Civic. This may be the end of the world on hand... who knows?








>> All hail >> the almighty >>


>> TOYOTA CELICA >>

its like a law that a civic has to be in every issue of every import magazine ever made. And then a Celica comes in and every freaks out

let those civic owners go ahead and think highly bout themselves lol.... wait till a celica comes in and whoooop thier as*.....see what they gotta say bout that lol.

It's kinda good that we only have a few celica around if we had more we would be like civic (me too) guys we are a chozen few that are smart enough to get good cars now if we all turbo them we will be killers...

lol... already in the process of being a killer lol..

shoot we all know we are individuals with our own personal tastes... us celica owners juss have better taste >>.. one day my celi will be a murderer >>

"It's kinda good that we only have a few celica around if we had more we would be like civic"

And there'd be more aftermarket support for Celicas... Oh well, some sacrifices had to be made >>

In Jacksonville? Wow.. I need to find him and tell him about this site.

..okay.. I cant get that picture to save to my computer.. Hell I dont even know what it says.. does somebody wanna help a brotha' out and either

a) type it up
or
b) tell me how the hell to read it!

wait i dont get the good luck with individuality comment? i mean everyone has a civic your momas mom her brother all her cousins and her third aunt removed so whats fun in having a civic? celicas are rare and they should be praised

now you got me wanting to read that article - what's up with the article

You have to get the context. He was saying that he didn't want to put work into his Honda because everyone has one, but he wanted to be different and work on a Celica. That's why they said that.


I typed this all by hand so there are probably some mistakes, but I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it so...

Dear Turbo,

Where are teh 1994-1999 Celica mods and build ups? After going to Eces in Jacksonville and HIN in Orlando I have come to the realization that I do not need to work up my four-door 1990 Integra LS or my four-door 1994 Honda Accord EX. These cars are too heavy and pretty played out, but I think I only saw one 1994-1999 Celica at HIN and I don't see that many of them around, so this is the car I have my sights set on.

I was wondering if you could tell me what the Japanese version of the Celica is, and if an engine swap would give me better numbers like the 240SX SR20DET swap. Just hoping to get some info on this car. I like the fact that not many people build these, but then again I run into the problem of lack of info.

JAMES, one of the main reasons why there are so few fixed up 1994-'99 Celicas out there is the lack of performance products for the vehicle. There have been a few enthusiasts who have successfully swapped in the 3SGTE engine from a MR-2 Turbo or Celica All-trac Turbo. The factory 3SGTE engine produces roughly 200 hp at the flywheel, which is about the same output as a stock SR20DET engine.

Also there are plenty of performance products that are available for the 3SGTE engine so bumping up the output should be a snap. Good luck on your individuality.


There ya go!

reading it in context i don't think "good luck on your individuality" is being said as an insult

Trouble is, the magazine quoted fifth-gen Celica numbers on the 3SGTE, which is significantly below those produced by the third revision of the 3SGTE.

o well...it'll be our little dirty secret >>

I don't think it was being insulting at all. I think he was basically saying good luck with the swap. This site should just bombard the car mag's with info on all the swapped and modified cars plus mention all the foreign members. I would like to see a mag with a swapped Celi on the cover.
