[easternpiro1]

well guys... that just about does it for me... there i was at the spot last saturday and watching people line up and take off is fun and everything, so i decide to join in on the fun, against another 6gc (lo and behold!) the guy that owns it says it was sold to him by his cousin ( a guy on here by the name of psycho or psyko something) i know the guy, and i start telling him about 6gc and everything...

god...2 much typing...MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT:

line up with the car
1 get spanked.....TWICE....REALLY BAD!!!
2 get strange looks and laughed at...=humiliation
3 wonder why in the hell i got beat so bad
4 go talk to the guy that drove and find out he's been drinking and eating shooms!
5 wonder why in the hell the owner let him drive his celica like that (owner is a pal of mine)
6 look under the hood and find out its A GOD #%#%#%^# ST as well!! but a stick shift
7 ride home considered SERIOUSLY selling my car.

im still depressed and its wednesday...dont want to show my face at the saturday nite meets again...


someone please slap me.... or explain to me what happend...please:(

Aren't K-series swaps still ridiculously expensive? Last time I was reading up on them on Honda-Tech project threads they costed way more than a 3S-GTE swap. And EG Civics aren't exactly cheap either...everyone wants one.

Anyway, don't get too discouraged with your car...if you want it to be faster you can always turbo or swap. Even with just a 160-hp 4A-GE in my car it's a blast to drive. I don't race and the motor isn't a good choice for straight line drag racing, but the car is a dream to drive.

yeah coomer you do have a point but if you know what your looking for then well my prices are corrct for instance my friend owns a repo company so i can get a k24 for a few hundred the most expensive part would probably be getting the type s tranny of an rsx and even if you dont know someone that can get you a engine look around rsx and tsx are def in alot of junkyards and well if you find an accord k 24 you can always slap on a k20 head. there are so many sites that offer good prices for alot and well living out here in the east coast well theres plenty of ways to get what you want atleast for honda's believe me ive done the numbers with what i can get and the same amont of money iam spending to get a nother celica and due a swap i can be faster in a honda but like the rc king said its the bandwagon that i dont like. But i still like a nice honda especially a delsol and well as far as car prices lets see i know atleast 3 cars that are up for sale in my area all eg's one a bubble and two are coupes the two couupes are each asking 2 grand so iam sorry but my celica cost $3200 and well in a honda ou dont need to worry if u have a gt or an st all swaps are the same as far as car models for a honda but i love my celica even though its oput of commission right now i would still do the swap on my celica not too many celicas around hee are modded but everyother honda is.
