Celica Forums General Discussion General Just traded my Celica. and here is my new toy

Congrats on the new car, good to see your stuck with Toyota!

Interesting about the newer Camaro though, the Camaro Z28 out performs the Celica GTS and RSX Type-S on the track by a considerable amount.. http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/comparison/articles/47901/page020.html

Yeah, HA HA, I know what you mean about trusting your car. I bet it was quite sad saying goodbye at the garage too. I've thought a few times about moving on from the Celica, but its part of me now and I'd feel guilty selling it and letting someone else drive it. Its especially bad because like you I've had it from new.

I'm not starting up another arguement now , but do you find the interior of the MR2 a lot more basic and less classy than the Celica? Its one of the things that put me off when I was looking at it. I know sports cars are meant to be more basic and bland because of weight (fuck! look inside the Elise) but I do feel they could have made more of an effort. Whereas the cockpit of the Celica surrounds you, you feel more like you're just looking at it in the MR2.

Another thing, what do you think of the Veilside kit for the MR2? Would you be tempted because in my opinion it looks amazing. Might be a bit extreme to go ripping bits off a 2004 car at the moment though

^^ I do agree...I really love the celicas interior...and I do like the Veilside body kit for the MR2-Spyder.

Actually, I don't care much for the Veilside kit. I'm probably going to put on a DAMD kit or the TRD stage 1. I'm kind of undecided. There are so many kits for the Spyder.

I actually LOVE the Spyder interior. It's different from my celica...but has a sportier feel. It "fits" the Spyder...if that makes any sense.

so you decided on the 2ZZ? woo~hoo~

u will love ur 2ZZ MRS i tells u!
there is a video of the 2ZZ MRS beat the 170hp AE86 on the mountain roads. and Turbo MRS can only barely keep up with the AE86..that's why i said i think 2ZZ swap is better~

anywho, have fun with the car either way~ it's a real nice car

Are you gonna consider monocraft widebody??

Why the hell didn't Toyota just make the Celica RWD? Making it FWD was the biggest mistake.

All wheel drive would be better(^_^)

congrats , i really like the car i was so close to buying one but then at last minute i got informed that the incurence on the car was over 4000 us dollar a year on my mom hand she ass full bonus and on me it was wopping 7500 us dollar so i just forgott about that dream wath do you pay in inscurence more than ur celi they sad the incurence was so expensive becuase it was cab.
really like the look at this one with top secret kit

back

My Celica was 231 dollars every 6 months for full coverage insurance. My Spyder is 254 dollars every 6 months for full coverage. So, my Spyder costs me 23 dollars more every 6 months. I also have 2 points on my insurance. In another year after I drop the points, my insurance will drop some. I have all my insurance with State Farm.

That looks like an awesome road in the last picture Very uneven cambers look dangerous though

then my idiot country did it again over pricing the incurence becuase its a cap is just wierd

looks good...i like that color

I forgot to mention, you'll find that most MR-2 owners are rather anti-veilside. There are very few Spyder owners that like the Veilside kit. Not that anyone's opinion should influence what anyone else likes. It's just something I've noticed. To be honest, it's to "ricey" in appearance. The MR-2 is not meant to look ricey.

JUST AN OPINION.

i just love the look of the monocraft tho... at least it's not veilside it looks like TRD but Wider~~

Mmm..twisties...

NICE...but celica is betttttter!

i have been a good time at the mr2 forum and the was a lot that liked the veilside

I'm a little bit late in posting, but I was crusing the sites saw yours, really nice car!...
