Finally, my new Daily! Options

[95celgt]

Ok well I'm finally done with the tune up... A box of Mobil 1 w/filter, a fresh set of NGK bkr6e (same as 3sgte), new 8K HID bulbs and 5 hrs of uncomfortable positions and she's ready to enjoy!.....well, now i need gas

guess what it is?


Yea, its a 2001 Audi TT Quattro, 6spd.....I originally was about to get an 04 RX8 but once I saw that even with proper rotary care it would still blow anyway I scrapped it, then I went to go look at an 02 BMW M3 that I was looking to buy and appearantly I was 30min too late and they had sold it, so I looked around the lot and this one really caught my eye...its just sooo clean that I couldn't refuse, and its fun to drive with the top down. Any way im just happy I found a car I liked

[95CelicaST]

.... aren't you like... 17?

[95celgt]

im almost 19, but hey, I go to school and work for this.

[95CelicaST]

I go to school and work and I can barely afford my Celi..

[Culpable04]

I go to school and work and I can barely afford my Celi..

I go to school, work, and sell HIDs and haven't been able to save enough money to paint my celi



I've never been a fan of Audi TT, but you're so enjoy your new car. congrats !

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

I go to school and have no money.

The TT looks sweet. Have fun with it.

[goferris]

i just go to work all day and can only afford the celi.
you dealing on the side or something? lol

[jason]

im guessing he prolly has descent credit or at least a positive history and no large outstanding balances and financed it, ive been lookin around for a nice audi or something as a daily but never found one that i liked that wasnt rediculously over priced in this area. if you dont mind me asking, how many miles n how much did it set ya back? curious how the markets differ

[95celgt]

LOL, thanks guys, i just love driving this thing its sooo smoooth !
And no, im not doing side stuff, well not what you guys think any way, but I do custom sound systems and auto painting, also cater for dinners and such.. Just gotta be well rounded is all, and well my celi is fully paid for so thats Y i started lookin for another car. Insurance on the celi is like what 30 bucks at most? How many hours are you all workin?

[95celgt]

51K on the odo, car was 18.5k, the M3 was 19K with good mileage too..

[Culpable04]

working ~ 50 hours a week, but I pay school out of my pocket and support a house of 4 ( father doesn't live with us ) celi is fully paid but insurance in NJ is not US$30.00 lol . I could get a second car but I would be trying my luck with school payments and I don't wanna risk that.

[95celgt]

dam, i could imagine how hard it would be to have to support your family, back when i had a girlfriend i could never afford anything, now I can spend my money on the car payment..

Thats what I tell myself anyway, i miss her lol...

[slvr_celica_GT_8...]

nice, ive seen a few of those cars all done up , they look good lol i gotta start savin for my paint job and my motorcycle

[Supersprynt]

So...the Audi TT is your daily and the Celica is ...the weekend car?

[96bluevert]

^^^ haha, that's what I was wondering too.

btw, the TT's really nice!

LOL, i guess you can say that, not my "weekend car", but my every once in a blue moon car, like my camaro, plus if i need passenger space I can just borrow my moms Cavalier.

[Supersprynt]

I gotta chuckle out of that.

Should I use my Camaro, my Celica, or my TT?

Naw, mom's cavalier!

[GriffGirl]

All I gotta say in nice TT, and enjoy it all while you can because when you get out into the "real" world, full of bills and rent or mortgage payments and other mouths to feed, you will LONG for the days of having the option to take the Celi, TT, Camaro or mom's cavalier!

Before you know it you'll be deciding if you should take that same Camaro (because you sold the Celi and the TT towards your down payment on the mortgage) or the mini van.

But hey, the mini van will fit the carseat and also has monitors in the headrest!

[snapshotgt]

Cool, although M3>TT imo.

[95celgt]

Not with women lol, all the girls i know hate Beamers, and any way my other cars>m3 lol

supersprynt, i laugh at my self when that happens too, there's like 5 hardcore nice cars and then outta nowhere a Cavi!!:P Cant hate though, its hooked up pretty nice for a cavi, and its the only automatic car in the family:P

Griffgirl, thanks for the coment, i know that eventually im gonna have bigger stuff to worry about but right know I am just trying to enjoy life while I can, and pay this sucker off:) Who knows, maybe if im not married after i finish paying it off ill buy the van or suv in advance! haha

[95celgt]

[spolski07]

better let me know soon cause its holiday season and its hard to get time off in retail.
aww i think you should bring the celica up here to shut up all the honda boys i hang out with
i love being the odd man out in the group

[zero07]

Love the new ride we really need to have a satown mini, sooon!

[manphibian]

What's that raised section on the front bumper that the licence plate is set into??????

That looks crap and ruins the aesthetic of the car. I've never seen that before, do all US TT's have that?

[95celgt]

no tt's i have seen have it, mine the only one and it has a similar peice in the back bumper too...I like it, it gives contrast to the totaly rounded shape that it has...I suppose I could take the celi to SA guys, but it will have to be when its not hot outside as the AC is out..

its like 80 degree's outside
aka perfect convertible weather

[95celgt]

i mean for the celi scott! lol, i might go today, not sure...

[axelrduvirage]

so jealous...one of my favourite "odd" cars. maybe if i moved back in with my mom i could afford one too. my 85k$ only barely keeps up with the mortgage, wife, 2 kids, dog, 2 cars, clothing, food, utilities, insurances, upkeep, college funds, RRSPs...you getting this!!! live your youth to it's fullest man, strange days are a comin'


peace

[duders]

Damn how do you afford this at age 19? Well I'm buying a tC next week probably, but still that's no Audi TT....

[95celgt]

Got some new shoes a few weeks back for about $1k, and a new sony HU so far............
Next on my list is a Tial BOV, apex intake....

[hongkongnerdboy]

so.. when you say gf.. as in a real gf? or a friend?

[95celgt]

Yes it was my girlfriend of 3 years......and now she wants me back but im doing good so i think ill stay this way for a while.........

Side note, as most know I sold my swapped celica to DEATH a month ago or so, and since then I ended up buying a Z28...


I must admit, i completely miss driving a 6gc, as I have never gone without a 6gc till now..the vert was my first, stx 2nd...had both for a while then i sold both for the 3sgte celica...and now i think im gonna sell the Z and get another.....we'll see....

my friends been dying to get a camaro
hes putting all his work money at age 17 when he already has a car
to get a SS z28
Is it better than the celica?

[95celgt]

Well, its a MAN car compared to a celica LOL

Although its a bigger car, it acually handles pretty decently with the 245 width tires it has.....and well it easily walks on my friends RB20deT 240SX that my celica would only beat by 1 car......

But i miss the celica's fit and finish, quality feel....but the celica was limited in performance due to it being FF, Camaro has endless tuning capabilities but I already have the 67, and would like to get a 69 or late 80's IROC-Z camaro......so im selling this one for 3,500

[95st-celica]

i'll trade you an 87 sport coupe with t-tops...305...needs work but its all there...

[95celgt]

I sold the camaro a couple weeks ago already......
So i used the money to buy parts for a full tune up on the TT...

ECS Ultimate timing kit...
The car is currently on life support as the sun went down and Im trying to find a way to stretch the belt so that I can slip it over the crank teeth...I tried the shoe horn thing but it broke the shoe horn!!
The car has 57K miles on it, the original belt looked in good shape for it being 7yrs old already but my plastic water pump was broken and only half of the impellers were still on....leaving me digging out all the shards and chunks of plastic from the pump/t-stat cavity....
All the bearings and tensioners got done too as they came with the kit..

Installing new ceramic brakes on monday....
And sparkplugs will be switched out (appearantly, these are interchangeable with 3sgte plugs, so im debating on putting in the NGK BRK6E or the Denso IRidium IK20/...)

[elvasoshexai]

omg... i can only dream of $30/month insurance... insurance for my celi is over 170/month for liability only and over 250/month for full coverage... and i'm 22 w/ a pefect record =(
