Hello,

I just bought my first 6th Gen Celica last week, though I am not new to Celicas. My first car (about 12 years ago) was a '91 Celica GT-S. I just purchased a '99 GT from an single owner, older lady who took SUPER great care of it and purchased EVERY option from the factory. It's a southern driven, '99 GT with, like I said, EVERY option available (even auto transmission unfortunately). I couldn't turn it down as it only has around 70,000 miles, is in immaculate condition, and was only $5000. I'm really loving this car. I'm just about to graduate college for the 2nd time and have been living on campus without a vehicle the last 2 years. I have a 91 Subaru Legacy with 65,000 miles on it sitting in my driveway, but I blew the tranny in it soon after I moved to school. I didn't need a car so I just let it sit. Now that I needed a car, I decided I'd rather buy something more dependable than take a chance and put a new tranny in a 21 year old car. I really only bought this Celica because it was the best deal I found. It met all my stipulations (had to be, Honda, Toyota, Acura, Lexus, Subaru or Scion, under 80k miles, no rust and under $8,000). So, enter the 99 GT. Pretty much the end of story so far. Definitely one of the best handling cars I've ever owned, right up with my old Integra Type-R. Probably the most comfortable car I've owned, even more than my moms Acura RDX and Grandmothers Lexus RX350. Though it's one of the slowest, besides my old 93 Civic DX coupe.

I plan on swaping in a BEAMS redtop with manual transmission, JDM twin piston "Celica" calipers, SS-III front and rear splitters, SS-III grill, GT-Four hood. JDM projector headlights, TRD front strut tower brace, and probably reupholster the front seat as the leather has a few cracks. That's probably it. Hopefully, I can get some good pics of it whenever the sun decides to come out one of these days and post them.

It's good to be here!

RabidTRD: I went to MCC for it. RIT does't do associate programs. I live in Oswego right now, but my fiance and I plan on moving back to Rochester within the next year. I left Rochester in 2007. If you were around then, I was driving around in my black '91 Integra GS. You probably wouldn't have noticed it because all the carbon fiber blended in with the black paint. Other than that, and Corbeau seats/Harnesses, everything was performance, so it wasn't flashy at a glance.

Oh, right. I forgot MCC had a hand with Toyota too. (I also didn't notice the associate part >,<)

Very nice. I know quite a few people with Teg's. They're fun cars. I feel like Rochester is a bit more fun than Oswego. Last time I was out there, I got pulled over for speeding by an unmarked SUV in the middle of nowhere... when I didn't know where the hell I was or what the limit was. That was fun haha.
