with out my celi for going on 2 weeks now ... in this time i have had alot of extra time to think, alot.... an after having at talk with the wonder mother of mine... she has convinced me to switch over to the dark side... yes drop the T for an H .... in the form of the civic si ... now this isn't offical yet... i haven't commetted to this 100 percent yet... but she did make some really good points to me...

here are the ways i could go ..

1 stay with the celi .. swap in a 3sge/bodywork repaint/redo interior

2. Give mom the GT / Get a Civic Si and pay that off for the next 4 years...

i should have my mind 100 percent one way or the other with in the next few months ..

if u get a honda.... u are automatically DEAD to me MAC!!!

j/k

whatever floats ur boat bud...but remember the 3SGE DREAM!!!

bboy

I should slap you for thinking..

No, if thats what you want to do then do it, but I am pretty sure everyone here will tell you stick with the Celica.

mac I'll take your car

mac your celica needs some help before you can get to a 3sgte swap and such...i'd say give mom the GT (fixed) and then get a civic SI and be happy with it...no tinkering cause duct tape and zip ties have a tendancy to fail sooner or later

well mac. i would've encourage you to stay with the celi. but your celi is giving you tooo many problems. that's wat discouraging me to keep my celi too. but everytime i fixed a problem. i makes me wanna keep the celi again. the new SI does looks nice too.

All joking aside. I used to have a Civic Si...thay arnt bad cars, they are nice to drive and not too slow. I`m thinking of getting another one for a daily driver.

Get the new Civic SI. Ditch the Celica

>

bahahah of course she wants you to choose option number 2... she doesn't get a car with option 1! But in all seriousness, I would probably go with an s2k over a civic. A nice 2000+ can be had for 20k and less! Plus, unless you plan on startin a family real soon, why would you need a sedan?

Well, the new Si has like 200 HP, right? Go for it. Sounds like you will still have the Celica in the family anyway, and we can only semi-hate you

Keep the Celica Mac!
You don't want to go to the dark side

Go for the SI.

you celica has seen an lot of miles... get the civic and youll be happy with it.

just think of all the money youll save on duct tape alone! lol

lol thats wrong to say but really if the celica is giving you problems then just get a Civic. As long its the new civic and not that stupid hatchback thing. If you have the money to do the swap then I say keep it. The body work can always come later.

passed by my uncles shop today to give him one of the struts i had down stairs... the on that was on the celi was bent... yes the whole struts assm. was bent... HTF do i keep braking stuff thats not ment to be broken...

but seeing my celi on the lift in that condition just confused me even more... i want to fix her now... but the dark said keeps calling me... (yea i'm a starwars fan .. yeah yeah i'm a geek) ... well i have till Feb to make up my mind ...

does anyone here want to give me some solid reason to stay with the celi ??

Because if you dont we will all come to your house and torch you and it in a 6gc inspired cult/religious ceremony..

Keep the Celi, because they are hotter than any civic, new or old. You have been through a lot with that Celica, don't give up on her now. Fix her up the way she should be and forget about the Civic. If you mom really wants to help, see if she will help you out with replacing some of the problem areas on the Celica at the moment. I could never give up on such a beautiful car.

Bottom line: Keep it, or we'll burn your house down.

i'm so torn right now ... stay with my babi or drop her for the new hot chic on the block ...

the civic si is so damn temptting .. it to the point i will be going for a test drive this weeknd... I'm also thinking about how my celi could end up ...

99 front bumper with 94 front oem extensions
404 sides and oem rears extension
new paint
50 percent tint all around
3sge Redtop

vs.

06 Civic Si
197hp
6spd LSD
new car smell
aftermarket support like wwwwhhhhaaat

Get a civic. If you will feel like it you can always come back and buy a celica later.
But get some fire extinguishers handy to protect your house

>


ok i'll make a bet with you guys .. if i get the Si you guys can pick any celi that is in the 200-220 whp range and we can go down to the track .. if i get beat then i will hand over the matches

Someone take him up on his word
Outsider....

the RC king will hual your assss mac lol. he is in that range lol.

>


Yeah RC king!! I wanna see that...N/a motor vs 3sgte..Is there any doubt on who'd win that? The dark side (honda) sucks, they make lawnmowers and little vespa like things. Toyota pwns all. Even tho id really hate to see a celica owner go the way of a Honda, if thats what u have to do, then thats what u have to do.

In all seriousness.....I would go with the new Civic Si.

I don't think you could go wrong with it at all. It won the Motor Trend car of the year for 2006, and they can't say enough about how sweet and balanced of a car it is. Plus the variant of the K20 thats under the hood of that thing will take Mac's abuse better than 'ye olde 5SFE'.

The new Si is definately affordable, its got one of the best N/A motors you can buy, LSD, performance and reliability stock, looks great, etc. Its definately a good car for you Mac. I just couldn't imagine driving a highly modded Celica through Jersey City....it was hard enough taking my car into NYC through JC when it was stock, now that I'm getting mods done I don't think I would ever bring it back on those roads. I'd rather drive a stock vehicle instead.

You guys are hilarious. What makes you think that a stock Si would be an even match at all against a modified 3SGTE swap? You're just looking to flex your Toyota muscle and make the Si look inferior.

Don't get me wrong, I love Toyota, and especially the Celica, but in all honesty I think Honda's got some of the best cars ever made. Go with the Si Civic. Think about how many years of happiness it will bring. Whereas the Celica will have to go at some point, the civic, being 10 years newer will last you twice as long. Anyway...just my 2 cents.

ill race ya


your celica has well over 200,000 miles on it. after that many miles, you really have to keep up with the maintenece on every part of the car, not just the motor. so its going to be a money pit.

i dont look at civics as the dark side.... thats what domestics are for. the new si really is a nice car. how much do they go for, anyway ?
