Celica Forums General Discussion General Experienced LIFT for the first time today...

I have a GT 5 speed, but today one of my coworkers (female) and I went in her car to some certified training class for work. She has a GTS 6 speed.

And now I regret going. I want a GTS now.

It was still hella fun spending the day with her (she is like the coolest, most outgoing girl I have ever met) because we were driving around the city messing with civics and stuff.

I pretty much ejaculated everytime she hit lift.

hahaha bro! if shes cute man! I would try and holler at her and see whats up!

Dude she is perfect. AWESOME personality, always happy, and very hot. But there is one problem: she has a fiance.

Oh wait NM your around my area lol! d00dE!

ahh oh well atleast be friendly with her there is nothing wrong with being friendly to her Naw but hey bro you ever get my pm from before?? I sent you a pm last week about your location

haha! if you ever seea hot chick in a gts leave her alone!

Oh my bad man. How do I check PM's? I'm fairly new to this site so I don't know if I get new ones or not. Sorry dude.

married, engaged, doesn't matter!!! RING DONT PLUG THE HOLE, BABY!!!!!

You will see a lil reddish envelope blinking in your top left hand corner next to your user name btw do you have Aol instant messenger???

does that help a bit^^^^

you got PM ^^^

take pix of her i wanna see how hot she is, tell her to pose in front of her car, and just say its for this site

^^^ This guy's got the right idea!

sounds like ur addicted to lift anyways its good to find another ecelica member from central cali. not to many

how often do you gts guys hit lift? more than once a day?

If I had a GTS I would hit lift after every red light.

Hmm...2zz swap?

some sunflower driver cut me off one day and i lifted his ass all the way back 6 car lengths!

i score lift and the engine roars, he looks over like WTF

LIFT ADDICTS UNITE!

hahah to be honest with you bro, i havent hit lift at all since saturday night. I hella want to hit lift but since my car is a daily driver. And my workplace is a 80 mile trip to and from work. I just need to take it easy on my car because I want my baby to last me for a long time! But on weekends I hit lift all the time

i think i hit lift like 5 times a day. gotta hit that shit on the way home from work.

lol, sounds like you are talking about some girl.

Is hitting lift all the time bad for the car?

I dunno... I would think so right?? Come on some veteran help me out here

lift is cool

i do believe your lift bolts would wear out faster.. as they do wear out..

correct me if i'm wrong...

Josh why don't you invite your "friend" to join ecelica

but for the engine it necessarily isnt bad on it right? ever since i put on my trd exhaust ive been hitting it alot. im with rookiegts though, i want mine to last a long ass time.

haha fo sho..

If you hit lift often, you're going to wear your lift bolts faster. They're going to last you a while, so I wouldn't worry about it. Change them eventually when you feel a loss in power during lift. Means the ends are worn and need to be replaced.

Hey ravertony, that your girl? Shes cute. Like the sig!

I'll hit lift twice a day at the most, but not everyday. Even on weekends, I don't hit lift at all. Don't know why.

I hit lift at least twice a day when I work.

I hit lift whenever possible. So yeah, I hit it A LOT!

what happens when you hit lift...what does it do?

sometimes im usually below 4k rpm anyway

i just want to say, "welcome to our world"...

aggressive set of cams will come in, the engine screams like crazy, it will knock you back into your seat, and you'll feel that extra 40 crank hp...

*sigh* I'm a lift virgin

I wonder what it would be like for Toyota/Yamaha to create a V8 3200cc+/- or V10 4000cc+/- motor with VVTL-i.

Mmmmm

damn dude! sweet link! very informative! cool man!

lol...i remember my first time.

SKOOF - I'd hate to say this but it's a feeling similar to VTEC only stronger and more exhilarating

I'd say it's very similar to vtec, but with a slight heavier kick to it. It's almost as good as a small Turbo, but not as good, can't wait to Turbo my car.
Boost and Lift at the same time should be awesome.

i experienced vtec(i-vtec rsx-s) and lift(gts). to be honest, lift is more noticable than vtec. it doesnt mean ur car is going faster, it just kicks harder and i guess thats because of the powerband increase at 6000rpm, while the rsx-s powerband is smoother and you dont feel the kick. plus i remember first time i hit lift the wheel pulled a bit. you really have to hold the steering wheel or else you lose a bit control. im used to putting my hand over the wheel usually, but i shouldnt.
as of driving too much on lift, i dont really think its that bad, i mean vtec ppl drive it like crazy always on vtec, but everyone is scared to take their celicas to lift. if you are afraid, then why did you buy a gts and wut is lift there for? its there for use, so use it but dont abuse it. its true that ur gonna put more stress to ur engine, but IMO its only gonna take like 2000 miles away from ur engines life. you just have to keep an eye on the lift bolts and ur fine.

ps. i wonder wut they used on the elise. wut kinda lift bolts they using on the elise, cz i dont think an exotic car should go back to a shop just for stupid bolts breaking for no reason.

i remember the first time i hit lift, i was in 3rd gear which in my opinion is our best gear, and i was going around a turn, and i had it a bout 3/4ths - full throttle and all the sudden my engine screamed and me and my friends head went straight back into the seat , i got so fuckin scared i shut down because i almost lost control going around the turn because this shot of power was so unexpected, and me and my friend both looked at eachother were like , and my friend takes a puff of the blunt and goes ... "dude your car just got pissed off" ... lol... it was cool, ill never forgot that, was hilarious

lift is good shit

I'm not quite sure what the hell is up with the huge hype involved with lift. It's cool, but nothing that special. Test drive an EVO, when the Turbo boots you into the seat, lift is a thing of the past.

this is very true, but hey wtf we are not all rich, and we cant afford one, and im sure we all love our celicas, so a Turbo boost for the evo lovers is like lift to us, i still remember my first time 2, it was 2 months after i bought the car, i know 2 fucking months, i was not that big of a racer kind of kid then, but then i was like ummmm wat if i red line it, so i did, and wow after that, i became a racer, hahahahha I LOVE LIFT, also its very true about the (RSX) there vtec kicks in super smoother, so yeah i personally like lift better

u know what the big deal about lift is? is providing an engine w/ 100 hp per liter and still get 30 mpg...think of it as gas saving power..hehe

sure is sancho, and yeah she is.. thnx for comment on sig

ur gurl is really cute

i just installed my trd exhaust like 2 weeks ago and ive been drivin the shit out of it tryin to get it broken in haha. ive been hittin lift every chance i get. def a head turner. lift
