Hello everyone! just bought my new celica last night. me and a buddy had to take a 3 hour flight from kansas to New Jersey,check the car out and make official purchase. then drive from 6:00pm yesterday to 5:00 pm today to my house. The drive was about 1,200 miles from his house to mine. I know that sounds like a long way to go just for a car, but with this car it was absolutely worth it! Upgrading from a automatic 5s-fe completely stock celica; to this manual 3s-gte celica is by far one of the best choices i have ever made. here are some pictures that he had taken, they are way better than any i can make.









I just got back from the main street of my city. everytime i came to a sto light, people would just stare at my car, not glance but stare at it. I plan on a bunch of mods like relocating my push start button and making it blend so that i am the only person that knows how to start it and other stuff like audio/ lighting. I don't know too much about cars, so i am hoping on learning and growing within this forum. Hope too see you all real soon!

congrats men!!!!
i own one but it would of been nice if it had the 3sgte like yours,,
enjoy it!!
by the way,, is it really that powerful?

isnt this seacelica former car? or something simlilar to that name

yeah thats what I was thinking... that celica looks strangely familiar too...


Congrats on the Celica though

yeah this car has been on the forums before. I've seen it. That is a very small intercooler also IMO.

in my opinion, i think so. huge difference in response, and the sound of it is amazing. mines got that deep growl of a powerful engine, and when you get on it, you can hear the turbo. its such a rush.

yep, thats the one.

Yeah its my old ride :-( I needed to sell it and move on. Its a GREAT car and im just glad to see it stay on the forums. Hope you keep her runnin strong man!! Good luck with everything.

Congrats! Seems like a good purchase if you just drove it 1,200 miles with no problems. And if you don't know much about cars, owning this car will probably be a good learning experience.

And damn, you already got a nice profile set up...you must be excited! I see that you are only 17 yrs old, so be careful with that beast!
