Life after 6gc? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #73920 64 posts Started by fenderdave
Funny the car that I bought after my 6g was a 4g alltrac.....

I thought that my 5g alltrac needed a sister. smile.gif

I second that FT-86 suggestion, but only if it's not a Solara. Other than that...I really can't imagine letting go of my Celi anytime soon. Like OOBE said, it's my first car so I'm pretty attached to it (just ask Yuri or Samir). However, a replacement would probably have to be RWD, but same formula. Smaller engine, lightweight.

I was actually about to get either a 7th gen, Corolla S, or Civic EX when I was looking at other cars.

Test drove a Corolla S and get the joys of driving a 7th gen civic ex once in a while, niether compare to a celica. So glad I wound up getting my RSX smile.gif

Exactly! Toyota isn't the only good manufacturer out there.

I'm sure you do CelicaST, but don't hate on the 350 just b/c it's faster than your ST tongue.gif

dont like the 05-06 corolla xrs?

God made man....Everything else...Made in China
1. MRS with 2zz-ge swap
2. Altezza turboed

Im never going back to another FF drivetrain after my celica.

And I do agree the 7th gen does have a smaller interior space than the 6th gen, I test drove one before!

Thirded on the FT-86 suggestion, but the Celica isn't my first car.

Seconded on the RWD part.

I'd love to have a brand new Corolla XRS (Not RWD, I know), a Mazda3 Hatch (Again, not RWD) (Preface, none of that smiley stuff) maybe a Genesis coupe. Would have to be standard though. I'd love to have 4 wheel drive...but I can't think of anything other than a WRX that would be something I want. And a WRX is out of my price range.

Hopefully, I'll never have to get rid of my Celica lol

I'm sure you do CelicaST, but don't hate on the 350 just b/c it's faster than your ST tongue.gif

Everything is faster than my ST frown.gif...except an auto ST...

today i attempted to rewire my fog lights..

BANNED. for life, you moron.
I had my 6gc for almost 3 years, and loved it when I had it. But I got a killer deal on a 98 Mustang GT so I sold my sixth gen. My life after 6gc consists of realizing what a slow slug stock 5sfe's are. My stang is also slow in comparison with most sporst cars, but the celi is a sloth. When I had the celica I thought it was fast though lol. I guess I just realized rwd owns fwd all day and my stang has been much more reliable than my celica ever was. I still lurk here on 6gc.net, because I truly did love my celica, it also saddens me how bad this site has gotten in terms of the owner only updating the home page a couple times a year. PS-flame away on my choice to get a non-import, im completely satisfied with my new post celica car!
Sold the Celica and bought a WRX.


I then bought another 6GC.... and then traded it for my MR2.


Definitely enjoy the MR2 more than the Celicas... except the Yelli Celi, but that doesn't count. RWD is an amazing thing - and Mid engine RWD is a blast.

1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of moneyI'm not really an asshole, but I play one on the internet.**** Photobucket
If i buy new
1 ft86 if its not a solara agreed
2 evox
3 sti

if used
1 GT-4 ( il figure out ho to make it legal)
2 mr2
3 good condition all trac 5th gen (yeah right)

I would stay with toyota, regardless you cant go wrong, im going to be typical mustang fanboy for a second: ive got my celica as a dd but my weekend car is an 07 GT tuned to around 450rwhp, but honestly i love the blast of tourque, but my 1994 celica w/ 230k miles drives better, has less problems, AND gets more looks at car shows.

Turbo MR2 ftw
sc300 ftw
is300 ftw
and all can be found and modded with affordability in mind
I went backwards and have had 4 MR2s and now the Celica (because I thought I needed back seats). I do use the read hatch as my mountain bike carrier. Looking for a Honda Element now since I can haul bikes and camping gear in them.

-ian-'03 MR-S'86 MR2.......... __o......... -\<........(_)/(_)
Any other car I get will be in addition to my green Celica. It was my first car, my dad got it for me just after I turned 17. I've put more than 100k miles on it, spent a lot of time in that car, and the older it gets the better it looks.

Within the next 1-2 yrs I will buy a 93-95 MR2, after that will be an 05-08 Lotus Elise, then maybe a Supra. Somewhere in between will have to be buying a garage with an apartment in it.

Seems like the IS 300 gets mentioned several times.. Just make sure to get a manual if you look into those.

My next car will add to my collection. I really want something old American muscle from like 64 to 80. I would like to get a 69 firebird and make a Trans Am clone or GS like my brother has

After college, I plan on keeping my Celi until it croaks and using it as my DD (no crazy engine work, I'm fine with my 7AFE with an intake, header, and maybe pulleys and cam gears, not sure), and buying an FD RX-7 as my toy car. I have always loved and adored the 13B-REW Wankel rotary engine. IT. IS. GOD. As for when my Celi croaks... maybe an Evo. I like the sportiness and performance of it, but by the time I'm that old (I'm 18 at the moment), I'll probably want a 4 door. Evo or WRX fit the 4 door performance sedan category perfectly.
