How do you treat your Celica?, With respect or like ****? Options

[YellowTwo]

Just wondering how most of you people treat your cars.

I would say I am pretty easy but keep it enjoyable...I might really push it to redline once in a really long while but that's about it.

[97sccelica]

well, with my new engine, im keeping it enjoyable

but previous engine, hehe, does melted piston give you any ideas?

lol, seriously, i babyed the car when it was turbo, ran the car for 5 min every morning before driving, drove around most the time with out ever hitting boost, and after boosting for a good amount of time i would let the car idle for about a min then shut her off

and honestly, i never had to push her hard to do what i wanted, the one night i was 100%-ing it was when the piston gave out, after being damaged when the stock fuel pump died

god my car is slow now, and the new engine is getting crap mpg and shakes at idle, i gotta go and yell at toyota.

so now the celica becomes the daily driver, and i am in the first stages of what i call Project Ugly Sleeper-1991 240sx with red top sr20 swap.

but i will always miss my turbo ST setup, from a roll the car was just amazing for what it was, 40-80 in just under 4 sec, 14 sec 1/4 mile, and it pulled all the way till speed cut as much as first gear pulls now that i am NA again.

eventually, i will do something with the celica, but thats after college, i couldnt stand not having her while she was down and getting fixed. even tho she is slow now, i still love the car, the feel, the handling, the look, its a great daily driver but it was an even better turbo car (after i see how qatar's full gt4 conversion works out, i might go that route with the car after college)
