NEW TO 6TH GEN CELICA Options

[tysoNgoduMb]

Hi, my name is Tyson and im 18. I currently owned a 92 civic hatch and a 93 Nissan 240sx. My 240 got stolen and i came home last night to find that my dad bought me a 6th gen for now so I found this forum. I'm into cars as you can tell since im here. haha. but yeah. i dont know anything about celica's so i was wondering if you guys would be able to chime in if i had any questions. Thanks in advance.

Hey Tyson, glad to have you join the forum. I will say this and I'm sure a lot of the 6th gen celica owners will agree with me too. This forum is one of the best and friendliest forum you'll find on the web. Since you are into cars, you'll pick up on things about the 6th gen a lot quicker than some others.

[Tigawoods]

alot of part you can find in the buying and selling thread. i got alot of my parts from other members. it depends on what you are looking for also. not many companies supply parts for 6gens.
what are you interested in doing?

hi i'm new too my name is hector i'm from mexicali on mexico city i bought 2 monts ago my celica i'ts a 95 st runs very great but i think my cars need some work on engine i need some tips for make a good car....

[99Celica]

well what exactly are your plans with the car? whats wrong with the engine that makes you think it needs work? Welcome to the site

[hectord]

here in mexico the people only have hondas and i hate hondas my best friend have a 240sx and runs very great but don't like me the 240sx and i don't now but i like make more powerfull this engine of my celica it's too small but have good hp and i don't the engine not have a problems but i like put more hp what recomend me????? because i like kill some hondas =) ....

[99Celica]

sounds like you may need to swap an engine or go turbo to get the HP you want, the few bolt on stuff that they make for our cars can't compete with the million things they make for hondas.

most hondas just have a fart can in the back anyways, being good at stick may be enough to beat'em

[hectord]

here the people put in their hondas muffler and intek and they say oh!!!! mi honda it's very fast but only have a stupid hondas i like put a turbo on mi motor but here nothign else do this works....

[CelicaST_CALI]

well with an ST u can turbocharge it and go from 120 hp to around 180 hp,or u can do an engine swap,a 3sgte,or a 4agze....

WELCOME TO THE SITE!

[p0lish]

Did nto want to start a new thread so I will just post here.
I am really happy to join such a big 6th gen community. It is my third car [had a VW and a d16 civic] and the best one so far. Plans for developement are there but first I would like to make sure that the car is really in great shape and as you all know it requires time. So far I got myself a new set of alloys [Team Dynamics pro Race 2 White] and a stock GT spoiler that will be installed soon.
I added some jpg's [here and in the profile] of my ride right after the purchase so you can have a peek.

p.s. any other members from my area?

Guys should take it to the track, that's what real men do. Only kids do street stuff while endangering the lives of others, and risk losing good money spent on rides. I suggest making teams so if people want to show off, you can make it fun with friendly wagers such as paying for food, drinks, or whatever all done on the track. That's what I plan on doing.

Who wants to show off for other men unless you are into that sort of thing anyways? You get nothing out of it and risk losing it all if there is an accident or a cop catches you. Just go to the track, it will all be worth while. That way you have an audience as well. You can make the wagers and earn the respect, while setting a good example for your peers.

[hectord]

first here in mexicali have a track but it's in horrible conditions and it's too expensive run on the track other think the track it's very far... i don't ran on street only because saw fast and furious some times i run in the street but i know how much it's dangerous run on street but we don't have other opcion....

[_mikeE]

I know what you mean man, it's just that what you're saying--you're in the action to condone street racing which is illegal and this site is against that, so even if you ARE just saying in example...just say it was on the track anyway.

[Defgeph]

I see there are a few new members in this thread.

First,

Welcome to 6gc. Please take the time to read ALL of our stickies. We have tons of information that will help you get started.

Second,

We do not allow street racing discussions on this website. We also do not allow "bashing" of other cars. We try to keep this place on a mature level. This is meant to be a family oriented site.


I let the comments above slide on this one, please do not bring up street racing anywhere on this site.


Thanks and welcome again,
DEF
