Celica Forums General Discussion General dudes Celica =all show and no go

whos got a 305hp celica? dont say rx8 is hideous man lets have some respect for the car it is a nice car

You say you have a GTS, but your profile says you have an SX. Don't those have like 90hp? Which is it?

I agree

yea, i noticed that too

okay let me xplain im from australia there are two models of celica sx or celica zr now they both are vvtli the zr has a sunroof and a few extra lights they both have the same engine everything there is no difference i say a gts cause its more simple when i say sx people are like huh whats that my car is 2001 model hope that clears that up 4 u

Dude, keep practicing,if you're losing to some civics and accords, that's really bad.

Keep the Celica, don't trade it in that quickly for an STi or Evo or RX-8. It's not worth it.

just checked cause i wasn't 100 percent sure and i was right the rx-8 does not redline at 10k in australia. it redlines at 9k sorry your info is wrong

okay man what i meant to say was redlines finish at 10

so that measn nothing
it ends at 10 you still can;t rev that high
the celcia finishes at 9 you still can't rev there.

you statement is pointless

what ever dickhead for a fact it ends at ten open ur eyes

Well why did you buy a celi in the first place if you hate it so much.. if you want a freaking drag car get an American Muscle.. if you want a circuit car get a Nissan, Toyota or a Mazda.. a Celica rocks on circuits and so does the Skyline and 350Z.. even the RX8.. dragging may be fun but it has nothing to do with driver skills.. driving circuit or rally that has to do with driving skills and that's what makes it fun.. cause there you can win with a lower HP car (get's harder tough ).. for draging it's just a weight / hp matter..

i just said it ends in 10 you wil lnever rev it that high ever

Why are you racing v8's with a celica...theres no way in a drag. Stick to the class you bought the car in cause to me you sound like a noob. Learn your car, learn their car then do the math. By the way, post a time slip and see how your times are and we can tell you if your driving it right and if not we have some members that can tell you how to fix it. Then go to the track and kill some cars in your class

not all V8's are fast. at the track i beat an early 90's (i think thats the year) IROC camarro V8 by over a car lengh, and i distroy'd a v8 camarro (older than the one i raced at the track) who is ownd by a guy at my school by like 4 car lengths from 0 to 90mph.

dragging does take driver skill, especially a gts, since you need to land in lift with your shifts.

ill practice harder then

I kno.. but when your in a drag driving against a skilled driver while your hp is way behind and weights is bout the same you are never gonna cut it.. even if you are an excelent driver.. (or your opponent must be a dumbass) on the circuit on the other hand that's different

Either way, try to stick to the circuits. The endless mounds of torque in a V8 will eventually end up putting them first. Celica will most likely destroy whatever is on the circuit.

I get quite a few thumbs up on my Celi after some heavy duty road racin. Also alota props for the way it looks. Yes, I have a few little mods, not much, but dude, there's a lot to be said for drivin skills. Not to mention, ya gotta know who to stay away from.

the majority of celica owners bought their car for the looks. it's so unique and no other car can copy that look. in my opinion, we mod it up to make it our own.

man i know i looks good i get that everyday

do like i shall do buy a comfort car instead

if youre driving on the circuit against an equally skilled driver with a car that handles much better than yours then youre going to lose. its all the same. of course the celica handles a lot better than most cars out there, but both things take driver skill.

ok i usually dont bash..and i hate getting bashed..but..i read maybe halfway through tihs thread..and this guy doesnt know what he wants. He should do his hw..and realize wwhat he bought and realize what its capable of..(pro's and con's) he is selling his car because people in v8's and v6s wanan race him and he feels like a puss-e? well first of all the people wanting to race you are idiots..second of all not eveyrone into cars wants to race...i know a lot of people including mysself and many on this board..that love putting money and time into their cars..but wouldnt b caught dead racing in the street with random strangers..can we say small penis?..what are they trying to prove?..keep it on the tracks and stop trying to feel tuff(not talking to you, but the people that roll up and rev looking to feel like vin fucking deisel) like some other people said..if your a har core dragger...go buy a crx...or an american car or whatever..but besides dragging..the celica is a great car...if al you wanna do is drag..then go ahead and sell.

lol i love the way he just throws in there ill get a 60000 dollar car.. hehe. that must be great. I dunno man I like throwing up the sunroof and switching on the neons lettign the bass ht ahrd with the windows downa nd laughing at the fool in the civic with no interior and a big ass tach gun his tin can to redline while i recline back and turn the music up.

Why do you keep saying its a circuit car? I get HORRIBLE understeer. Worse than anythign ive ever driven. granted i have no suspension mods but still. im not feeling the .83 gs... maybe im too rough on the gas?

.89

My 02 gts seems to move along quite fine.. not to many people around my way want to race anymore..

uhhh yea...not a dragin car unless you put in like 10,000 into the engine...

you are not driving right then

ever hear f a satement set up for hte corner.

no car i dont care what car you got can take every corner full speed. you have to set the chassis an let it glyde throuhg the corners.

at least i have balls to go up against other cars i that will beat me

Wow, I haven't seen so many Honda flamers in my life .

Answer me this: When's the last time a Celica (a Turbo'd one) took a Ferrari in a straight-away?

Now I do know one Acura(Honda) Integra Type-R owner who burned a Ferrari in a straight at an HPDE. (this guy's a professional driver, boosted of course).

Saying that, stock for stock, the Celica GTS and the Integra Type-R would be in the same class. (I'm talking DC2 chassis, not DC5)

i jsut dont like honda so many old models that are riced out and those ugly civics only look poor omfg honda suck ( not the s2000)

man to go any faster easily, you need a Turbo car, V8 or a high Performance car... you said you beat an SS a while back didn't ya??? how much faster do ya need to be? are you takin on GSR's & rotary's or something???

I don't know many Acura/Honda Integra Type-R owners that rice their cars out. Actually, the ones I know disapprove of it.

Find me a ricey Type-R, and we'll call it even. But you're right. There ARE a lot of Civic owners that rice their rides out.

You shouldn't hold this against Honda. They've developed the most reliable motors on the market, averaging 200,000 miles on em. (unmodified, of course) They've also developed motors that have the most horsepower/torque output per liter. (220hp at the crank on a 2.0L 4-banger, roughly 110hp per liter of displacement)

yeah well i do race Turbo cars but i have no Turbo
