Car thoughts, Need opinions Options

[NaderG]

I bought my Celi almost a year ago , i had really high hopes for modifying it and everything . I searched the internet for parts , no luck there !. I found 6GC and looked into the 5sfte project, 3sgte swap and V6 swap. they all cost a considerable amount of cash and require alot of time and experience , which i dont really have. I love the Celi's styling and handling. I love that it is not so common around here making it very unique. yet everytime i get behind the wheel i am a bit disappointed , we all know there is NO power in the car.

I am really thinking of selling it and buying another ( used ) car that already have around 200 HP, but there is nothing out there that matches the styling of the celica. I wish i can make it faster but i am way too inexperienced and it would cost around 4-5K , which in addition to the approx. sale price of the car add up to almost 10K , which is slightly less than the money needed for another already-fast car.

I need opinions of whether i should keep it and try to mod it or sell it and get something else , now we all like Celicas and i know everybody's opinion is baised but i am a college student who is about to transfer to university with very little time and no Beater car !!

also , what kind of car would u recommend ?? i was thinking of something like a :
-BMW E46 ( sells for about 12-14K )
-believe or not a procshe boxter 98-99 , about the same price but insanely high insurance and parts
-A V6 mustang ( i know it is a low quality car and the streets are flooded with them , but i always liked them)
-a 2000+ V6 eclipse
-

any suggestions on a car ?? any suggestion on more power ( that is cali legal ) ??

please help em out on this , i cant make my mind up

Dude..I know what you're talking about.

I've had my celica since 31st of August. I was really excited about getting it. The slick look, had 150 on the speedometer...but man, when I got behind it I realized that my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE I had was faster. haha

I did think about selling mine a while back..but I realized that no matter how much you put into it you'll never get any of it back out of it. So..I'm going to keep my celica for a LONG time, and just add a few mods at a time..

BUT - on September 27, 2009 I get the rest of my $20,000 sign on bonus for the National Guard, which will come out to around $6,700 ... and then i'm going to put a down payment on a WRX, Evo, or 350Z..

But whatever you do man, just make sure its a good reliable car..Not to many out there better then a Yota..haha
