In the last little while, Ive had it with my celica. I was on my last straw for awhile with it, but these last 2 weeks, im past it. In the last 2 weeks ive found out i need new ball joints, tierods, drivers side strut, strut mounts, strut rod bushings, front wheelbearings, 1 rear wheel bearing and on top of that the other day i blew a brake line. Not a flex line, but a hard line..like coming from the perposioning valve down and too the rear. So, ive been thinkin about it for awhile, and im done. I have all the parts i need to fix it except my strutrod bushings that ive been waiting on for the last 9 months from Toyotaworld. Apparently they are on the way from Texas right now, but then agian, they have been on their way for almost 2 weeks now.
Any ways, once the cars fixed, Im gonna be doing some minor rust repair on it, cleanin up the interior a bit, repainting my shifter surround and radio surround. Any ways once Im done, its going up for sale. Im gonna post it in the trader and on Kijiji and Craigslist. Any ways, I hate to say it, but im considering going over to the dark side. I was considering gettin a WRX, but ive heard alot of horror stories about them and the cheapest WRX i can find 5spd is like $14K CND with almost 200xxxKM on it. So im also considering gettin a RSX. Ive seen them for anywhere between $8K and $12500, the price difference is between either a 5spd permium package base model and a Type-S. Im thinking im gonna go with a base model just because its cheaper and i can still make it pretty quick. My plan is to get one in black on black, JDM Honda badges, JDM blackhousing headlights, Type-R spoiler, redded out tails, Type-S side skirts, replica mugen lips, tinted windows, black rims with a red lip. Normaly, i would say no to Honda, but I like the sound of K20A motor. Bigger Honda motors dont have that anoying misquito sound coming from the exhaust. Even though i wont be owning a celica any more, i will be envolved with the 6GC comunity after the fact. Im still going to be building Sarah's coupe (Keroppi), and helping out any of the Ontario 6GC members with their cars. So Ill still be around, still keeping active in the 6GC community. I will update this thread when i sell Shelly, and get my new car. This car club was the first car club and community ive ever been apart of, so I am definatly going to be around.

yea i saw one at the TD bank on Dougal across from Burger King running ontario plates. But according to the RIV they arent legal to import. Plus i couldnt even imaging gettin any parts for them up here aswell as the insurance prices for em. Plus, i personaly dont like the look of them all that much.
