Hello Everyone! Few Pointers Please Options

[DeAcevedo45]

Hello forum members. It seems that I have overlooked the 6th gen Celica while in search for a "tuner" type vehicle. Just recently the distributor on my previous car (Ford Probe GT...great performing car however) died so I ended up selling her. I swore that my next vehicle would be a reliable brand I can depend on, and what better car make than Toyota correct?

So, finally, is the 6th Gen Celica a solidly built car? Is there anything I need to worry about when buying a Celica? How does it drive, torquey all the way around the RPMS or does speed kick in? Im used to upgrading cars mechanically and electrically but does the Celica make it almost impossible or very user friendly? Any other tips or heads up advice are greatly appreciated.

By the way I really love the exterior styling of this gen Celica especially with some work to it, and the inside appears to cradle the driver. Thanks for the future advice and hopefully I become a frequent member here.

I've only seen midhigh 15s as the best runs for a GT with the basic bolt-ons. Turbo would most likely net you 14s depending on your setup, 13s and 12s with strong internals.

People would probably say that the 3sgte is a better way to go because turbo is just about almost the same price as you are already within the 200-250 hp range. With already a reliable turbo setup with the 3s and more potential. The 5s is bound to more money invested into if your goals are to exceed 230-300+ hp.

Either way it's always been a battle between people's opinion on whether to turbo or swap. They both have been proven strong and both engines have their pros and cons. Turbo 5s with more low end torque or the 3s with more powerband range to play with.
