I've been a lurker for many years on here, but decided I'd share with the community. I have had my 97 celica for over 10 years and have over 185k miles and have grown way too connected to it. 3 years ago I had a lancer evolution and paid the car off and it was a great feeling. I put a lot of money towards the car and made it have a lot of whp, 460whp, but had a lot of turbo lag with the fp black and didn't like the lack of torque. I then knew I had to get some more torque, and needed something that was fast from the factory already. I sold the evo and was sad to see it go, but I had to do it. I told myself I would never sell the celica though, since it is simply too memorable and outstanding gas mileage, outstanding insurance, outstanding reliability and a very unique personality. It reminds me of the little engine that could. I'll never sell it and drive it till it melts or explodes. So... to prevent the delays, here is the new member of the family.
Celica for work/commutes, Black car for fun and spirited driving. It's the baby in the family but will be here to stay. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Thanks guys. I have been lurking for a while lol! THe car combo is great because i still get to drive "manual" since the celica is the 5speed ST. Both are factory besides the celica rims and sound system.
