I'm new to this forum but have owned 3 Celicas to date. Just picked up my 3rd last week. Its a '99 silver GT with 57,000 miles, 5 speed, loaded except for a sunroof. What a great car! I traded a '92 ST with 252,000 miles and I never touched a thing on the car. Everything except the tires, air filter and fluids were exactly the way they were when the car left the factory 14 years ago! I really wanted to change the timing belt about 3 years ago but kept putting it off. LOL! I've owned 30+ cars to date, and without a doubt, that little '92 was the most reliable car I've ever owned! The other Celica I owned was a '96 Anniversary model, but I only kept that car 5 months and traded it away. I'm a die-hard Corvette guy and have owned 5 Corvettes and a '95 Viper. My current Corvette is a '04 Commerative Edition Z06 (Z16) with an ECS Paxton Novi 2000 Supercharger running 12 lbs of boost. While I had the supercharger installed, I went ahead and had the engine forged along with Kooks 1 3/4 headers, Methanol injection and a custom return fuel system. It dyno'd just under 700 horsepower to the rear wheels which is roughly 817 at the crank. This is my weekend "fun" car while the Celica take on the daily driving duties. Anyway, nice to meet of you and I'll be around quite a bit.

corvettes arent my cup of tea but i welcome ya...i myself have always been a celica guy...lol

Here's a few pics I have of my Z06...

The mistake I made was that I really wanted a GTS and ended up buying the first Gen RT/10. All I saw was Viper and I bought it. I really didn't like the car at all. The top was a pain in the butt to take off and the side curtains sucked because I could never drive the car if there was a chance of rain. It leaked like crazy. It alwasys seemed like I was fixing something on it too. Some guys like the "old school" style of the 1st Gen Vipers, but I'd much rather have a newer model.

Here's a picture of my last Z06 with my 350Z.

Thanks bud. The Celica is really dirty right now, but I'll take a picture anyway. Have to charge my camera quick. I haven't used it in a whie. Maybe it won't show up too dirty since it's silver.

Thanks very much for the welcome! You know, I have an uncontrollable urge to modify every car I buy, but I had such good luck with my last Celica that I left alone, I may just let this one go too. I think it looks great the way it is. The only thing I may do would be an intake for a little more power.

One thing that I have noticed with this car is that evey guy in an Eclipse, or Civic (etc) wants to race me. I guess because my Celica looks fast, people think I'd want to play.

We have a few ideas for you

>

I would, but...um...naaaah.
