i can understand selling the celica.... but you would regret buying a del sol. i drove one before and it was horrible compared to the celica.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
well ill give it to coomer...There is a guy in my town with a " Sick " haha del sol with a K20 under the hood...its a 10 sec car... looks good....but not as good as our 6 gens..
Your selling it for 4 grand? wtf Ill take it.
You need a 3sgte under the hood.


If you are planning on moving and not having a garage, a Honda is not the right car for you. As soon as you start fixing up the car you will become a target for theft.

Search the word "theft" on these forums, then search the word on the Honda forums.


Although I have always loved the EG hatch with a k20a. I wouldn't sell my car to build one. I'd build a bigger garage.

Good luck Chris.

I will return one day.
Its sad to see that your gonna cell the celi. But great that your staying and keeping 6gc up and running. Really i would never get rid of the celi for a del Sol but thats my opinion. Goodluck with what you choose to get. My buddy have a 00 Civic SI Coupe and i think its fast. But never has as many stairs as i get driving down the street lol.
yeah man, Jeff brought up a got subject.
you worry about the celica being stolen. a honda forget it, stolen in a week.
my buddy just lost his h22a prelude, found it completely stripped the next day downtown.

Visit My Automotive & Tech Blog.
Sorry to hear your selling the celica, and I have to go with the crowd here, celica>del sol. My friend has a del sol vti (siR for you guys?) and they are ok, but celica is faster, has more seats and looks better! The good thing about his car is the the electric hood (like something out of transformers!).

Saying that, I can see your need for a new project car. Personally, for a cheap honda project car, I would go with an old school CRX biggrin.gif

This is Blasphemy smile.gif

JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
A member here on 6GC (Daftboy) got his old Honda with a B16 swap stolen in broad daylight.

Not to say that this would happen to you.....but regardless. From my experiences, every friend I've had that has owned a Honda has gotten sick of it really quick.....People will always ridicule you and call you a ricer even if its clean and well-built, idiots will always try to race you everywhere, and thieves and cops alike will instantly target you as being some chump kid.


I try to stay as far away from the title of driving a "kid car" as possible, and unfortunately thats the association with Hondas. Something more low key (EDIT- Read: sexy and sleek, not lame and pedestrian ), luxurious, and powerful is the only step up from the sixth gen in my opinion.


Ultimately it comes down to what you want out of a car, and by all means do what you want and don't let us stop you by complaining. wink.gif But having the foresight to know EXACTLY what it is you want out of a car before you drop a dollar on anything is 90% of the battle, and will probably make life alot easier on you in the long run.


Best of luck with everything. smile.gif

3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting.
wow, are you still going to be attending Toyota Festival III? I'd love to check it out before you sell it.

Also, for your move, I can get you reduced price UHaul equipment if needed. I'll say more in a PM.

Coomer -

I stand by you no matter what your decision is with the car :-)

All I ask is that I get to drive it before its sold :-P oh and that you try not to sell it to just anybody. I hate to see cars sold and then beat up by the new owner.

Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City
If you want a honda so bad, i'll trade you my 04' TL for your sexi 6gc. ya just have to finish up payin the remaining balance from the finance lol laugh.gif

Turbo install made possible thanks toTeamJ.D.M.officially 5SFTE junior member~*MuH NeW RiDe*~
I think its funny you say you might want a new project car, but won't have a garage.. lol.. you sound like me!

I totally understand you. Everyone does it, you build a car and after what you visionned materialise...you want something else! Its an endless loop until you settle for a mid-luxury acura/infinity and leave it stock hehe..

Good luck with any decision you have! But think twice about a honda!

haha isn't that true too. It's human nature to keep wanting more and more.

i'm with everyone else, Hndas are stolen soo much, even if they are pretty much bone stock.

well.... what can i say?....... go with what u want which is a del sol.... i agree with many people here. To me personally civics, del sol's, crx are played out bigtime! but they are easy to fix up and parts for them are abundunt so if u wanna roll in a ricer then go for it. Its what u want not what anybody else wants good luck on ur project coomer. hope to see ur new car soon!!!!

DRIVE UP..........ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE.........DESTROYYOUR OPPONENT.........
Coomer, Coomer, Coomer....

I'm just really still more upset that you stole my mohawk idea more than you are selling the car. The only other thing I will say while looking for a job or place to move, you should move to the seattle area so you can save me from these girls (you know which two I'm talking about) at times.
Hell, for 4k I'd buy it if you kept it a few months. Just do what I did.... Keep the celi and get a project car and make the celi ur DD. Esp. if you're moving, you mightt have better luck in a safer neighborhood with the yellow celica. For me personally, I've put too much time and effort into the celica to ever sell it. Plus the couple grand I would get out of it isn't worth it compared to all the stuff I put into it.
he's so insane....

sell his Coupe for a DEL SOL?????

or DEL SLOW!!!

Celica ST202
Del Sol is not the fastest / best looking car in the world, but any car can be made FAST and the looks can be improve with good taste, so go ahead get a Del Sol and enjoy it, after all life is one and we should make the best of it.

Good luck on your Job search Coomer.
I dunno, I'm forever sticking with Toyota, the only way I get a new 2 door is a late model Supra or an IS300. Besides that, I am looking for a 4 Door Tacoma or Tundra. Something that can be used for almost everything.

Bunch of weirdos at the Honda forum...


Tits when of course not referring to the female breasts/mammary glands. Would be the equivalent as to "thats boss", "thats the ****" and what not. According to urbandictionary.com "Tits 531 up, 193 down. Awesome, amazing, stellar, crazy, unbelievable, awe-inspiring, overwhelming, mind blowing, shocking, majestic magnificent, impressive, cool, grand, stupefying, wonderful NOTE:The word 'tits' can replace any of these words in normal speech. Chya!"
why you don't buy a MKIII supra????


that honda engine has less torque than my wheelnuts needs tongue.gif
