-------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Tidy it up. Clean up any wires in the engine bay, replace any half worn suspension parts ... you know, all the nitpick sh*t. Make a list of all the little (or big for that matter) things you would like to do to it if you had the money and go down the list. Make it your PERFECT Celica.
Idk man ... I kinda got bored with the whole car scene for a while myself. Built Honda/Acura's for so long that it got old. Had a little bit of a resurgence getting into Subaru after I found my rare Legacy Turbo for cheap, but the luster went out of that quick enough. Bought the RDX turbo and was content driving that around and "being a grown up" lol for quite a while before I picked up the Celica. Once I saw all the JDM parts it all came rushing back. I'm a sucker for JDM. Now I'm looking to do a trans swap in this and then probably buy a Supra project. Maybe you need something new too? The 1st gen sounds like fun. I'd like a first gen GT Liftback. Can't remember what year or trim I wanted ... I have a whole book on it at home. Last night I just so happened to ask my fiance if she would drive a 6th gen vert if I bought it for her (instead of the Rustang she wants) she said it HAD to be black ... so maybe if you want to sell it soon, look me up

Really only 500 miles? At that stage I was still disappointed with my Beams! I went through a good few tanks of fuel before I truly loved my Beams swap, and now it just gets better and better.
But like a few others have said, the best way to maintain interest (and spend money...) is to start doing track days. -------------------- |
