6G Celicas Forums

the 7th gen guys were haters?? what happened??

Hahaha Faust, you're making it seem like they beat us up and stole our lunch money . Let's just pretend that they were sooo amazed by our sexy cars that they couldn't say anything at the time. We did have some of them coming over and taking pictures of our cars. I was recognized too! When Daniel and I were going to get water, one of the 7th gen owners stopped us and was like, "Hey so what do you have done to your Celica?", and as I'm standing there thinking about the never ending list of modifications where I don't even know where to start, he's like "Hey were you at the Fairfield meet?", and I'm like "ooo yeah, I was there." And he was like, "OOO I knew your car looked familiar but I didn't want to say anything, I wasn't sure if it was you or not haha." And I'm like, "Well I mean, there aren't too many Celicas that look like mine." I don't remember the rest of the convo, but it had to do with how this meet was kind of lame and not as good as it was in the past. Seriously though, the meet is usually much better, I don't know what happened this year, but I'll blame it on the economy this time.

damn coolios

Craig, they wanna meet up again in Nov. Can you make that one? I think it would be cool if you could make that one.

you better not flake out!

do we have a tentative date for that?

lets go to Glendora Mountain Road/Mt. Azusa/Mt. Baldy! haha. november..7-8 sounds good

LOL DUde, I was pretty damn sick. But I won't, in fact, I went ahead and PAID for new tires and an alignment for safe travel to the next meet. My last set kinda scared me and my steering wheel would vibrate side to side like a mother. My friend was supposed to hook me up with some tires, but never responded when I was ready. So I had to go ahead and take care of it today, because I couldn't handle it any more, plus I had a screw in one of my tires, they were getting low and all the stores had sucky thingies for putting air in your tires... so it was just time. Plus now that I got some thicker tires, I can enjoy a smooth ride, and the offset doesn't look so bad anymore. Still getting new rims though in the future, after I get my MR2 Turbo.

Ok just let me know! any driving around sounds good to me.



Had my tires replaced a couple of months ago. just need suspension.

so what tires did you go for and how much you paid?

you flip right?

^^ Yeah I am Flip, but technically I am mixed. Although I just say I am Flip so I don't have to get into details, plus I carry my grandfather's full name who came from the P.I.

I just went with some brand called Sumitomo tires because my friend was going to hook me up and whether or not I got ripped off today doesn't concern me a bit. I dropped $580 today on 225/45/17s and an alignment, since I went the whole period without one on my last set of tires. It was so bad today I couldn't stand it, so I just went ahead and had these put on. My riding is so smooth now and much better than my other tires... I could feel cotton balls being ran over with those things.

i asked cuz u might wanna bring us adobo next time.

anyway yeah i was looking at sumitomo's a few months ago to replace my second set of falkens which lasted me for only 6 months. found some cheap nexen n5000. treadwear is good compared to falkens, grip is ok with dry pavement, never tried it at wet yet. let me know what else you think of your sumitomos. are they htr-4 all season?

Promise I will be early next time

There's no need to be on time, everyone is always late anyways haha.

that sounds like a cool idea! i go once in a while

gmr azusa baldy.. that sounds awesome... reminds me of my high school years... lol

yeah im super down for that... let me discuss with the g/f and ill let ya know... i think my g/f has her ruby national game but its in texas so i dont recon im going with her to that one.. so i think im free woot woot

Well, looks like a thread for the Nov 7th meet needs to be put up then...... Oh and yeah, sumitomos aren't bad at all, that's what I have on the front of my car.

ill try it and see what else could i squeeze out with my nexen.

I dunno, so far I actually like my Sumitomos. I didn't know anything about them, but my friend said they are a good brand. I threw them on yesterday. Now I don't feel jack when I am driving. It's a nice feeling. My other tires sucked. Nitto neo-gen.

My brother has Nittos, he's happy with them. I've never heard of Primewell tires either before I got mine, but apparently they're decent for budget performance.

Arrrg I already know for sure I won't be able to make it to the 7-8th meet because I already planned to be in SoCal Nov 26th-28th. Oh well .

Also, I found a picture of our cars on the new celica forum.

wow guys already in a rush to have another meet since so many people didnt show up... Well hows about we do it in a couple of months. So that people can plan ahead and we can get atleast 10 cars to go. Oh and Derrick, it was only 1 person that asked about our celica's, and think he didnt even own a 7th gen.

Also i will tell you the reason why i was an hour late. I thought we were going to meet up at Long Beach Town Center. So i got to LBC at 11:15 since it only took me 10 min to get there. Then when i called you and asked for directions, I noticed that I had very little gas. So i filled up on the way before i got to chino hills. I know i can tend to be late, but i have a somewhat legitiment excuse. I wont be late to the next meet......
