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.

Just found out of another member over in Rockville I am trying to find a place to upgrade the interior seats as the old cloth has become a bit tattered and old. If you know of a good interior leather shop, let me know man. I'd like to add some foam padding to the front two seats also as there is barely any support. I look forward to some celica meets also. QUOTE (Julian_Navia @ Nov 19, 2012 - 9:00 PM) Wow! I'm so glad to see there are more 6gc guys here in the DMV area!  There are plenty, but not enough of a "group" mentality as I would hope. But, we can change that!! |
