Celica Forums General Discussion General other options than the Celica

ok i think im going to sell my celica
wath in about the same price range do you think is a nice car my celica is a GT. i wannt somthing faster mybe and im most into imports, i have looked on some 98 models 200sx but i heard they break down fast any oine know enything about those cars? and the integra (the one with 4 head ligths if it is any other once) i looked on to but it looks so rice hehehe
damn i love my celica.
plz dont state KEEP THE CELICA

KEEP THE CELICA!


Actually look for something cheaper/faster. 240/ITR

240 ITR??? wath is that

240SX, Integra Type R.

kk, any one have any opinion on the 200sx 98 model s14

I get the opinion that you're not gonna go with another sports coupe, hence ditching the celica. Go with a WRX or Audi A4.

I read that post three times and still can't understand it.

go for a sylvia for sure

I would tell you the same thing keep the celica and supercharge it!
But if you have the money to spend, than get the SLK!

^^^Dude, he said somethin in the price range of a GT

wath is best 200sx or rx7 i dont know mutch about rotary engiens are they crappy?

rx7

www.rx7club.com [rx7club.com]

My next car. E46 M3:

200sx? nah..they weakk...ITR? it will get stolen for sure...go copp yourself a 240sx, nissan is the "In" thing in the Import scene these days...a 95' is nice i also like the liftbacks..good torque...turbo it and do a S15 silvia headlight conversion ... or if you have the money get a supra, rx7, MR2, VR4, wrx, sti, or Crown victoria

Evo8
M3
Rx-7
celica Gt Turbo

when i get house those all will be parked in my driveway.

Why are you thinking of a new car, anyway? If you want something in the same price range, it can't be financial reasons.

Anyway, I'll give you a real nice option. Look for an early 2nd gen Miata (maybe around '98). You can get one for $10 or under. Then buy the Flyin' Miata turbo kit or Jackson Racing supercharger kit. You'll be over 200 WHP to the rear and lighter than the Celica.

im swapping since soem one has given me a very good price for my celica.
and i wannt a faster car, but its hard to find a car that can match the celica, the car is so nice but i wannt somthing faster

teg LS, and if you want more power, go to ebay and pick a turbo kit for $1300...

hehe you dont know my country, if so i cudd just sell my curent celica and the profit i will get is the prices of two turbo kits. BUT her in norway we have some sick HP taxes. so a turbo kit innstaled with taxes payed on 200whp wudd run about 17200 us$

any one know if rotary engiens suck or not?

keep it ooorrrrrrrrrrrrrr get an 1986 toyota corolla trueno gts twin cam five speed...sweeeeeet!!!!!!1

i dont understand why ppl sell their car and get something uglier and older for speed.
so wut if someones giving you good money for ur car to sell?
u modified this car, you bought it cz you loved it, and if the only problem is the speed, then get a turbo, ull be one unique celica in norway im sure.

Moped

i agree, they always resort for something not in production anymore that could cost them more problems than the current car they have. who cares if it's faster.
for instance, I traded in for a WRX...stage 2 was fast as hell, but you know something...it didn't make me as happy as my celica did. Speed isn't a necessity, you'll outgrow it as soon as you realize it's not your celica.
WRX Is a real good choice, but buying a used one and modding it is still going to cost a lot and you don't really want a used car that has a turbo in it. otherwise, there isn't anything in the GT celica price range that is fast. You're out ot luck, keep your celica and go N/A

Rotary engines are badass. There's a lot to how they work, and I'm not an expert on the engine. Read up on the RX-8. It would give you a better glimpse of what the rx7 is like.

the problem is taht i cant buy a turbo its wayyy to price becuases a turbo her with taxes cost more than you paid for you hole celica probly.

and i have 0 income and im a student. of curse i ahd turboed my celica if i cudd. celica owns^^
buti wannt a rwd to

im to chicken i have never rideed a bike in my hole life and i will never ever do

keep the celi... Where in Norway wud you whant to drive fast.

or get a Volvo S40 T4 R

i dont wannt to drive fast i wannt to have a car taht akselerats faster and its cooler with an rwd on the snow.
heheh trying to get me to buy a sweedish car patriot

I'd say an Evo

A GTS. Its faster thatn GT and Is still in price range. I you still have money left over look into turbo for it.

nothing wrong with a 200SX SE-R, the sr20de is reliable unlike the QR25de in the new se-r. it has loads of potential for NA or turbo..if you want rwd the 240 is good but the stock motor blows...a 5 speed GT would be faster or even

^^ Thats why you swap in an RB and kill just about anything. (While still being cheaper than a 5spd GT)

get a 1991-95 MR-2 Turbo. You can pick one up for around $11,000 with decent miles. Car is rear wheel, mid-engine car with around 200hp. Car is fast, light, reliable, sexy, and can be heavily modded.

evos are 5 times more expensive than my gt

i say keep the gt

nothing ur considering is better...ur gonna miss ur interior, gas mileage and build quality...unless you throw some better choices on that list

but 5 times more fun...

so wath do you suggest`?

RX-7 Rotary Engines are not good after 100k miles. You will need to do a lot of work in order to maintain engine performance.

ok, i have left the rx7 behind

Agreed.

When I gave away my 00 Celica GT, I did not have an option. I had to give it up. But when I was able to save up to buy another car, I had to go back to a Celica. It just felt real nice when I got back in the driver seat of a Celi, a 6 Speed for that matter. I love the Celi. When I look back in 15 years or so, the Celica will be a huge part of my life.

But from what I learned, once you start thinking about selling the Celi. there is no turning back. If you feel that you want a diff. car, then sell the Celica now before you lose that deal. Get a car that you will be satisfied with 100% or you will end up regreting the hell out of it.

Agreed! what chelica said nicely put bro

Keep the celica...

OR get a nissan silvia or do the conversion on a 240sx(maybe 200sx in ur country)...that was my second choice to my GTS...cuz i need fwd in my snowy hills of PA.

this is a 200sx it was thise one i was thinking on

^^^^ kind of looks like the accord from the front.

just that it has 200hp and turbo stock ^^^^

I agree with FastCelicaGT22. I want to build the hell out of an MR-2 when my Celica is done. I just seen one on traderonline.com. TRD Widebody, 3SGTE Turbo, Volks, 430hp, very nice car for less then what I paid for my GT.
I think the 3SGTE can handle over 800hp and is very tough.

^^ a great post, i was JUST about to mention an mr2 but you beat me to it *shakes fist*
