Hello,
A beautiful 1997 blue 5sp celica has caught my eye and I will be looking at it tomorrow. From what ive seen and read it is in immaculate condition but I want to see it first before I think about buying it. This will be my first car that I will be buying. |

I saw that someone posted that coupes dont look as good as h/b's and that the coupe wasnt clean. Take a gander at mine, i think its very clean. Also mine is a GT and it doesnt have fog lights. Handling wise it does still handle very well but you can feel its a kinda big car. I have tower braces in the front and rear and the help, but going from the stock wheels to my 17s made the car ALOT stiffer. I had a prelude with 4 wheel steering before my celi and the prelude handled alot better. As for the performance on my GT coupe i think its great, i would not get an ST even if you dont race. Its just always nice to have the power. I have taken a 7th gen celica GT-S with mine but they must have had an auto because they do have more power. Civics and neons are a joke cause there engines are so small. Its always funny when you are at a light and someone in a "Pimped out" civic pulls up next to you thinking they are all cool. Then i smoke them with my stock GT celi. Preludes and GTI's with the VR6 probably will still beat you. A normal 2.0 gti is easily beaten, i have yet to race a 1.8T though. So you go for the GT but coupe or hb is sweet.
