i rallycross my car and take it out to the desert as often as i can. the car does surprisingly well. i run in the street stock class, so all i am allowed to have is a k&n drop in filter and a catback exhaust, thus i have no suspension mods on the car when i compete. the car does rotate well with left foot braking. hell i took second place this past season for the championship with a st and an auto trans. my car is no show car, and i really don't care what it looks like, but at the same time it doesn't look too horrible. minus the dents, its actually not bad looking at all.

its fun, but if you're trying to keep it looking show quality, then you might not enjoy the experience near as much. i'm really happy with my $700 celica and even with rallying the car, i haven't spent much at all on replacing parts. alot of the parts i've replaced were original parts on the car and it has 203,xxx miles on it, so thats not bad at all. so far my list is 1 wheel bearing, driver side cv axle, driver side lower ball joint (boot was torn), and the power steering pump. thats it.







couple shots of the car with my street wheels/tires
