Ok so i have a 01 gts with aem cai, underdrive pulley, trial headers, b&m short shifter, custom dual exhaust, and my car is still not fast. I went to the 8th mile track last night and had a terrible time. best run was 10.13 . my best run was last year 9.84 (before the underdrive pulley and trial header) but i just could get it to hook up last night. My power fc should be here today and if it does not wake my car up, i am selling it and getting a WRX! I am tried of dumping money into a car that just is not fast . Thanks for letting me vent
Buy some nitrous. Maybe 800 dollars and get 35 hp at the push of a button. Or Turbo would definatly give gains. Honestly you have just done the basics. These are gonna help but its not gonna transform your car into a race beast.
1) blame yourself not the car 2) ditch the trial header 3) tune your PFC with the stock header 4) invest in dr's if your want great launches 5) more practice you get the better your driving will get. 6) check the racing forum or the Performance mods forum cause thats where this post belongs. 7) post the #'s from your slips we can give you more specific advice on how to change your driving to make the car faster
hey i'm tired of ppl btching about the celica too! if you have to complain about your car and honestly can't be proud of what you have and day dream about other cars; then sell it and buy another car! that simple
if you guys are so tired then just ignore it...maybe he doesnt even know its not for drag...so instead of bithing at them or being a punk explain to them what they need to know...stop attacking people
hmmm with all that money he invested, he should've at least researched a little. i'm not saying this against him, but just that if it was me i would find out things before dumping 1000's of dollars into it.
yea he said a 8th track but anyways...notice even in games the celica is off-road/ auto-x or ralley wut ever you wanna call it...seriously tho with the suspension fully hooked up ur car is way up there in handling if you want something faster def trade it in then or at least Turbo/sc it
^ True...how many cars do you know that pull 1G with simple bolt-ons like coilovers, sways, & braces. What's the point of going fast in a strait if you have to slow down to a snails pace to take a turn
he cant drive and he has the wrong mods. thats his only problem. the celica is plenty fast enough with the right mods/driver. also the biggest problem when a car cant hook up is usually the driver. I've seen corvettes run 9.4 in the 1/8 because of bad drivers so raw power doesnt always help

well..not a lot of people get times like you though lucky. so does that make you really really good...or everyone else really really bad?...is it both?

it sounds more like driver problem, even if you get the wrx, you are still going to be slow.
^^^^ thats true...if you cant chirp and have a feel for ur car i think you need some mods
if you're chirpin gears you'll get smoked Ideally you will want to avoid as much tire spin as possible giving you the best times. I''m sure I have more power then 60% of the celicas on this board (prolly more lol) and I dont chirp any gears. I get a slight chirp coming off the line launching at 8300 rpms but thats always gonna happen
Their right celica is not for speed. and why do you want to get a speeding ticket anyway. because thats what happens when you want more speed. More speed=speeding tickets=you lose your license. Celicas are for looks and if you want more speed in a celica I suggest you do an engine swap
Word...this guys driving must be horrible. I see in my mind him spinning the tires at the line and landing his 2nd gear at 5500 rpms. Money to spare on mods and no patience to learn how to ride the beast...bad combo.
It's ok though... I see lots of rsx-s with i/e/hondata running 10's in the 1/8...they taste good.
anyway, people are stupid..if you want a fast car, then buy a fast car...if you could care less, then get what you LIKE and don't have to worry about. i got what i always wanted...WRX and i couldn't be happier, love it a lot more than the celica.
me stock beating an I/E hondata rsx cause he couldnt drive. also on that same note it was my first day at the 1/8 and I sucked pretty bad too. my dumbass ran a 10.0 - his 9.9 but I had the better R/T I've learned to drive much better since then

Yep, it's all about the driver...just bugs me when people are so dissatisfied with the celica's Performance... and in reality it is their Performance which is lacking thereof.
As for the update on my body kit Billy, I haven't put it on yet because I haven't had the cash flow and am getting a new trd japan clutch since mine just went out. You can have looks and speed... too bad the wrx can't j/k man

it's people like you that are inconsidate, disrespectful, and stupid right off the bat that are the newbs, i've been here a lot longer than your ass has. btw - you're a fucking fag, try learning some respect and worry about your own fucking life and not mine dumb shit

Damn some of you guys are a little insecure. why dont you both shut the fuck up and get back on topic.
yes the celica is fast properly driven but it was more meant for the autox/ circuit. line up a celica and a miata on a really tight course and youll see how much fun it is to keep up with the miata.
Why would you go drag racing in a Celica? Its too nice a car to go and ruin (i'm assuming its 7th Gen). Why abuse it? You'll take thousands of miles off the life of the engine, go through clutches and tires like underwear, damage your engine mounts, ruin your gearbox...and need i go on? An for those who say its a trackday car, WRONG AGAIN! A Lotus Elise is a trackday car, a Radical SR3 is a trackday car, a VX220 is a trackday car, a Caterham R500 is a trackday car. A Toyota Celica is not a trackday car. It is a sports coupe designed for the road. Its not meant to be hammered and abused. Look after your car!
Sometimes I wonder if all the people on this site are as idiotic as Lucky317.
^wtf?? celica can outhandle a lot of shit dude, wtf are you talking about? you can turn any car into something, the cars you mentioned are cars built from the factory with the necessary shit in order to BE a track car. this thread needs to die.
Exactky. If you wanna go racing to a track, by a trackday car. The chassis and suspension of the Celica are not designed to take a hammering round the tracks, neither are the brakes. Notice how quickly they fade when you cane it through your favourite piece of twisty road?
what? we modify and tune our cars. celica's may not be track cars but it's where they work best. people on this site modify and tune their cars for a reason, we don't just buy sway bars or exhaust just to drive 40 mph to the grocery store.
NO! They don't work best on the track at all! They work best on the road. A big exhaust ain't gonna make a shit of difference apart from make a lot of stupid noise!
uh the point is that you can MAKE the celica a trackcar...and with that money spent, you'll still be paying less than a fucking lotus elise. you drive what you LIKE, it doesn't always have to be SUPER fast and handle really good all at once.
NO! They don't work best on the track at all! They work best on the road. A big exhaust ain't gonna make a shit of difference apart from make a lot of stupid noise!
those are the ricers, a person who is gonna fucking race buys a racing exhaust
A brand new Lotus Elise is the same price as a Celica T Sport in this country. In fact it was a grand cheaper before they dropped the price of the Celica. Granted the new 111R with the Toyota engine is more, but thats top of the range. FWD sports coupe, not RWD track car.
15 GRAND MORE? I'm assuming you mean the Toyota engine then? HA HA HA! Its never gonna spank a 190bhp Elise. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! A 300WHP Celica would not come close

Well a celica in this country is not a 50k car and I would feel pretty stupid for buying this instead of a lotus. so who's really stupid? Also in this country we have respect for people to do what they want to do! thats why i'm proud to be an American.

are you fuckin serious bro...
there are people with celica's that have over 1.4 g's on the skidpad... elise can barely pull 1.0 g's.
15 GRAND MORE? I'm assuming you mean the Toyota engine then? HA HA HA! Its never gonna spank a 190bhp Elise. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! A 300WHP Celica would not come close
seriously..u should just go kill ur self b/c ur a worthless piece of shit, I see ur dad left the best part of you on the sheets. ::smack:: I'm Rick Jame Biatch!! I'd take celi over the elise if i were blind..with an xtra 15gz...I'd kill an elise.

hmmmm i dunno about you guys but i get some bitches with my celi...its an awesome looking car and girls would give you ass 4 it
anyways who cares about wut people think the fact is that no matter how long this thread gets its hard to change someones opinion so stick to the topic man the kid just wanted to be straight out telling us his car is slow...so who cares if my grandmother can shift faster than him and run the car faster the point is let everyone be themselves and like wut ever...u call this a celica community then stop the BS and just HELP each other out...if ur posting it means you have a celica or plan on buying one...so meaning there is a similarity between all of us in our choice to buy the celica
It's been said a million times, the Celica is made for the track, with light mods (and some none at all) it eats some Porsches, EVO's and a number of other cars on the track.

find that hard to believe...
celica would need hella mods to compete with an evo on the track... maybe a boxster would lose...

Why ditch the Trial Header? And why tune without it? I am so confused...
celicas are fast in autocross...that list a few posts up proves we can hang with the best of them...and Lucky has a 13 sec. NA celica...imagine if Turboed
15 GRAND MORE? I'm assuming you mean the Toyota engine then? HA HA HA! Its never gonna spank a 190bhp Elise. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! A 300WHP Celica would not come close

I don't know if you guys are serious????? Maybe you don't like to hear the truth? Yeah you can spend 50 grand on a Celica and make it fast round a track, and yeah, maybe even compete with EVOs, but then its not really a Celica anymore and out of the price range of most people!
Some people on this board are very ignorant, very naive, and very childish. I think maybe because the Celica in America attracts a younger fan base.
And before anyone bans me, they should read exactly what I have said. They are my OPINIONS, and based on real KNOWLEDGE. Many people on this board do not have knowledge of real Performance cars because they're too caught up on message boards praising up the Celica as much as they can.
I love my Celica don't get me wrong, but I know its no Porsche, or EVO.
look veilside mr 300 its all good and dandy that you give us ur opinion but how come you have to lie and post other people's rides??
this thread has gotten way off topic and who really cares how fast it is...ur not the next mario andretti and if ur not going to the track a lot like LUCKY than you shouldnt really care how fast it goes because on the streets the only thing you risk is ur life and someone elses...opinions are good to state but if they lead to negative comments all the time i would just zip it :whatever:

too bad it's the internet, what does misspelled words have to do with anything? trying to figure out something to say dumbass?
no the car is respected, NOT by people like you, just like others don't respect the celica
first of all, isaac added 50k posts to my post count for what reason i don't know...maybe because i'm much more helpful than you and been here longer? why would i care about being a moderator? i have other things to do than sit on here, the only good thing is i can lock up assholes like you. i guess you can't take name calling don't like me?
man there are a lot of bitches on this board. whats up with the dumd ass with the wrx, isnt this a celica board??? why the hell is he here??? And the celica just looks fast it is not fast!! my friends rsx-s is still faster and it is basicly the same car. I love the celica in the corners and that is wher it shines. but they still should be able to hold there own in the 1/8 mile. I know that i could be faster with drag radials and a gutted interior but it my daliy driver. Anyway i was looking for anyone to offer some helpful advice. Not all the little bithches who wanted to make personal attacks on me. I remember when this board was about celicas and it had none of all this drama.
man there are a lot of bitches on this board. whats up with the dumd ass with the wrx, isnt this a celica board ??? why the hell is he here???
...have you seen the celica he had before he bought the WRX??? ...billy, do us a favor for the people that weren't here when you still had your beautiful red machine, and show them your celica so the won't flame your wrx...
okay okay...these seems to besome weird argument here...yeah the celi packs only .86-.89gs on the ski-pad stock. good for a FWD car but not as great as a stock evo at .96-.98gs. NOW a modified celi (the ones that break 1g)...have sticky tires, coilovers, sway bars, strut bars, and an lsd. definately far from stock. yes a celi is good at auto-x...but auto-x is more driver than car...any auto-xer will tell you.
i have no dillusions about the celi. it's a FWD car that out handles cars IN IT'S CLASS...but pit it against a RWD/AWD stock evo,elise,ferrari it will lose. stock for stock...mod for mod. i think this is what veilside is saying.

wow, you have now entered super moron mode or something. you're responding to shit that didnt even happen. nobody said the elise wasnt fast. STFU and stay off this thread. you obviously don't know what you are talkin about (as usual) and you're just plain making stuff up for attention. 1 more reason to ban your sorry a$$.
and for christ sake quit calling the damn 111R a FWD sport coupe idiot boy you are an utter disgrace to this site.

Not once have I called the 111R a FWD sports coupe. Why make shit up dummy?
I notice VSGTS14 receiving a lot of negative comments to. Is it because he too has an opinion that doesn't give the Celica godlike status. Maybe you just don't like his opinions because he owns a faster car????
I think Lucky_317 should be banned. It seems that whenever I give an opinion he is the first to jump in and try to start shit!
I have seen that beautiful gts that he had, however all he does now is talk about his wrx. but he seems very vocal and comfrontational, maybe you should swtich to decaf man, calm down, it is going to be ok.
A brand new Lotus Elise is the same price as a Celica T Sport in this country. In fact it was a grand cheaper before they dropped the price of the Celica. Granted the new 111R with the Toyota engine is more, but thats top of the range. FWD sports coupe, not RWD track car.
unless its like you're awd bwm comment how you didnt mean it like that. maybe you just need typing lessons?
and I already said I bash on your "opinions" cause I don't like you. if you dont like it, don't post your worthless opinions
Veilside_300 if I still had my celica, Ill still spank you pretty hard in tracks... going around corners...
With my new car, I ll just spank you any time of the day... Even if you had 300 hp, it dont really matter to me... put 15 G... I dont care...
Celicas are fast... made for tracks...if you know how to drive... then yep... but reading your posts...I doubt you can drive your celica anywayz...
For elise, yes it's same engine... but totally different ecu... Lift kicks in earlier, port/polish, and smoother hp, torque curves...What makes you say that they are the same Performance after a full tune up that lotus put into it?
Celica is a nice car... stop making fun of it... you dont belong in the celica's driverz seat
Yes, completely new engine management by Lotus. Torque remains at 133lb/ft though, so does power remain at 190bhp. The lack of torque is less noticeable though because of the weight. And yes the power curve is more linear, but theres still the noticeable shove above 6000rpm. The older S2 sport 190 used a highly tuned version of the rover k series engine which had better power delivery throughout the rev range. Unfortunately though didn't have Toyota reliability. WHAT MAKES ME SAY THEY'RE THE SAME Performance? Nothing. Same power, better Performance. Obviously!
SOMEONE ELSE WITH LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD.
When will you people realise the Celica was not made for the track. Find me some sort of Toyota publication that states the Celica was designed and built for track use and I'll eat my hat.

veilside...i agree with you. the celica is not MADE for the track. it's a comprimise sports coupe...what i mean by comprimise is that first of all...it's a 2+2 configuration...any car that has back seats is not a Performance oriented only car. it compromises sporty Performance with everyday grocery getter uses. that's why it sells...for the practicallity and compromise from sports to everyday driving. so in effect, yes...it is not MADE for the track
this is a dumb argument.. veilside just keeps saying the car is not built for the track when it's stock...WHICH IT ISN'T
we are arguing that you can MOD the freakin thing in order to COMPETE on a track...so in this case, MAKING it a track car. how dumb can you be? then there are manufacturers who build their cars that are almost track ready...which sport tuned shit, but that still doesn't mean it's a track car.
i bought the celica because every girl i've dated and takes a ride in it makes them take their clothes off!
I agree in all for all its inteded purposes one of its best purposes is its uncanny ability to attract the ladies! It's so successful that me and my buddies dubbed my car the "ho rocket" !
Ask yourself one question. Is the juice worth the squeeze?
this is stupid. tell ya what my enzo will your 300 hp celica.
wow that was fun. instead of real facts and useful arguements lets all just say how much better our imaginary cars are oh and anything less then $1,000,000 price tag isnt really a track car. now if earth was a planet where this made sense that would rock. but see most of us live in reality.
why do you think they modded a miata to compete with the elise in C&D ? cause they could. lol slow as hell but with some work done to it it can be a contender.
I really need to upload that idiot smiley. I been needing it a lot lately.
BTW: has anyone IP checked to see if t-sport and mr 300 here are the same person?? just curious.
My celica is SUPERFAST I eat Enzo's for breakfast!
lol ~

me stock beating an I/E hondata rsx cause he couldnt drive. also on that same note it was my first day at the 1/8 and I sucked pretty bad too. my dumbass ran a 10.0 - his 9.9 but I had the better R/T I've learned to drive much better since then
Yep, it's all about the driver...just bugs me when people are so dissatisfied with the celica's Performance... and in reality it is their Performance which is lacking thereof.
As for the update on my body kit Billy, I haven't put it on yet because I haven't had the cash flow and am getting a new trd japan clutch since mine just went out. You can have looks and speed... too bad the wrx can't j/k man
dude, i wasn't fucking talking to you, i was asking the dude who started the thread my wrx will pwn j00 anyday
Got any track slips to help convince me?... doubt it. Meanwhile, the only thing you are owning is your daddy's wallet... so next time you ask a question in a post, maybe you should specify as to who the question is directed at...especially when your post doesn't even follow the desired recipient. A million posts and still a newb... it's no wonder they just clown you on nc . org [/quote]
dude, wtf crawled up your ass? who the fuck cares who's care is fast, idc WHO is faster than me, i drive what i fucking like and was only kidding because you gotta start some shit that the wrx looks like shit asshole...
and if i wanted to specify who i was talking to, i quote, use an ^, or say their name, obviously none of those were anywhere directed towards you, so don't answer it... and wtf does nc. org have to fucking do with anything, idc what they think of me, i don't know any of them and i don't own a fucking celica dickstain.
it's people like you that are inconsidate, disrespectful, and stupid right off the bat that are the newbs, i've been here a lot longer than your ass has. btw - you're a fucking fag, try learning some respect and worry about your own fucking life and not mine dumb shit [/quote]
For your sake and that of your posterity... I truly hope that English is your 2nd langauge . I almost had to whip out the Rosetta Stone to decipher that compilation of profanity and mispelled words.
As for your car looking like shizz...you said it ... and the general consensus is that the engine is respected and not the exterior... It's a 4-door sedan
I am truly hoping that your near 70,000 post count is some type of typo...bragging about your presence at this site is borderline disgusting and sad.
And resorting to name calling is a big surprise Bill...,but it fits your persona of immature and stupidity filled posts. Hmmmm... wonder why they never made you a mod with all your time spent here? You are truly an untapped resource... meh [/quote]
too bad it's the internet, what does misspelled words have to do with anything? trying to figure out something to say dumbass?
no the car is respected, NOT by people like you, just like others don't respect the celica
first of all, isaac added 50k posts to my post count for what reason i don't know...maybe because i'm much more helpful than you and been here longer? why would i care about being a moderator? i have other things to do than sit on here, the only good thing is i can lock up assholes like you. i guess you can't take name calling don't like me? [/quote]
wow this is the longest list of quotes ive seen ~
p.s: quote this post of mine and it will be EVEN LONGER
now now, i know there's been tons of reply's already but i mean come on man. true when it comes to going down a staight line it's not that great and it get's it's ass kicked here and there BUT go up against those same guys in the mountains on winding roads and the thing kicks ass. and hey know when to pick your battles there's this guy i see every damn week with some 2 dr. VW and he drives like a jack ass so i tried putting him in his place and ever since he's done much better. [/color]
If Im going to 1/4 or 1/8 Im bringing Chevy small block V8 if I want to drive over the hill to the next town I take the celi 80 through the corners not a ferrari but way more comfortable than one
I love my celica, i want that to be known. stock it had 6.6 0-60 time (car and driver), but with the new crop of fast cars like the srt-4, rsx-s, and the new colbolt ss (chevy supercharged remade caviler) it seems like the celica is just over matched. and all these cars handle as good as the celica, just go a lot faster. When the celica came out in 2000 it was designed to beat the honda prelude. which it does, now the rsx is designed to beat the celica. When i started this post i was pissed about my last night of racing. I had no idea that so many poeple would take it personly. i love my celica and a good sprited drive through the country yesterday helped me to remember that. It is not the fastest 4 banger on the road, but it is the most fun to drive. however it is sad to see what has happened to this message board. There was a time when people where positive about others, but to look back through this post and the negitivity that is in it is just sad.

This is joylover24; signing off
Woah Woah WOah. Don't sign off yet. What one of these cars out handles the celica? Or comes even close? The Chevy colbalt is SLOW!!! Yes the SRT-4 is faster...IT IS Turbo'D! Furthermore, it handles like SHIT! Oh, and the RSX-S...BAH! I sure as hell haven't lost to one yet. And the celica handles better than it anyday.

i fhink its to slow for it looks on the straigths but in my case that is a good fhink becuase if not i cuddent afford it. and even if its slow for it looks way is it slow you will own a lot of cars with a gts here i live i wudd have owned every one and is the rsx-s faster than the gts i have heard they are equale. if its slow for you Turbo it and if you dont can afford it then its good in your case its slow to.
its own in the corners ok then it owns the corners and get owned at the straigth
oh yeah also because it's a toyota wouldn't want a car that would break down 3-5 years of buying it. i bought it for reliability and because a 1.8 engine is good enough for me with the gas prices lately. for the guy(people) complaining about how it's slow, well, then buy a mustang cobra...
