Well I have been thinking alot lately about my celica. And after reading the posts about how other people like their car so much, I have come to the realization that I would not trade my car for a GT4 or another more powerful newer car. Yeah I know more power and everything, but it won't be the same. Its like I am married to my car, and then just to go get a newer more powerful model just seems like it won't have the same love. I have put so much time, money and hard work into my celica that I would not trade it in or sell it for something better. I would just rather drive me sweet, but slow, celica until I can afford an engine swap. MY celica has always been there for me, and I just can't possibly think of getting rid of it. I mean I put 105K miles on it in 4 years. No problems what so ever. I LOVE MY CAR biggrin.gif

I wouldn't trade my car for a GT-FOUR. Oh wait, hang on a minute - I don't need to. I already have one biggrin.gif



Have to confess that I'm already thinking about getting another 4WD turbo car. Seriously considering an EVO VI or VIII.

So after all the hard work you guys put into your Celica, you would trade it all away for a GT4? Why? Doesn't your car mean anything to you?

Jeremy


You guys with GT4's stop rubbing it in that you have one biggrin.gif

honestly I don't know unless I was actually faced with it. I intend to keep this car for life, because its my first car and I wuv it, but a straight up trade for a 30k+ car would be hard to pass up

well everytime i save money for the gt-4 engine some weird thing happens and i am forced to use that money for somethign else (ie this year is for taxes: $1427).

I would like a gt-4 but given the fact that it is not legal to have it "legally" in us i'll wait till i get my bachelors and find a way to import it illegaly and then swap the vins/plates etc off my lovely celica to that one.

My celica is my second car. I've always hated this thing for being so slow. I'd trade my car for anything faster and in as good of condition. The only reason I still have my car is because you won't fine another in as good a condition. I'd put my 94 agaisnt any year and I doubt you'd be able to tell which is newer.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
