Ok for those that know me, know that I really don’t have much to do at work, so I just sit and think about a lot of stuff. So as I was there looking at security cameras looking at my Celica in the parking lot, a 7th gen. passes by the screen then a 2002 Eclipse. Reality punched me right in the face. There is never going to be any real support for the 6GC. Aftermarket companies and Toyota knows they well never make any real money buy supporting a car no longer being produced. With the popularity of the 7GC there is was to much money to be had by supporting the new Celica’s. There are not going to be more new 6GC owners. It’s sad but it’s so true. Just something I felt like getting off my chest.

nope, the turbo and SC kits that are either out, or comming out are for the GTS celica. either way, you cant go farther than that. the way the GTS's engine is setup, it has high CR and that Lift makes it a little longer to spool a turbo. plus i have read about those 230whp 7th gens, they still cant get traction. that is the case for all FWD cars, there is a point where you cant go farther and still drive the car daily. luckily the parts are out there to take the devoted few that far, ie 3sgte i personally like that aftermarket sucks for our cars. it keeps a lot of people away from it, keeping it a rare car. look at whats happening with 240sx's. they are getting popular because of all the car magazines giving a lot of people the wrong impressions. the resale of 240's has gone up, much like mkiv supras. honestly, despite what the supra is, its still a car, where the newest version is a 1998, many probably have engines that were beaten on and have high miles. the price skyrocketed after FnF, and sadly, has barely come down. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

It's a great feeling when people ask me what that is because they have no idea. Yeah the lack of support is a downside but hey...there is the 3s-gte..and enough for the gt owners who just want to be able to beat out your civic here and there. And there sure is enough to make your car look nice as hell as well. The 7th gens have lots of support but for what, are they even capable of having a turbo yet? Sure they can be show cars but it's been done, enough to the point of exhaustion. And the new eclipses are like a middle aged girls car...its a shame they changed em.
