with out my celi for going on 2 weeks now ... in this time i have had alot of extra time to think, alot.... an after having at talk with the wonder mother of mine... she has convinced me to switch over to the dark side... yes drop the T for an H .... in the form of the civic si ... now this isn't offical yet... i haven't commetted to this 100 percent yet... but she did make some really good points to me...
here are the ways i could go .. 1 stay with the celi .. swap in a 3sge/bodywork repaint/redo interior 2. Give mom the GT / Get a Civic Si and pay that off for the next 4 years... i should have my mind 100 percent one way or the other with in the next few months .. -------------------- |

I should slap you for thinking..
No, if thats what you want to do then do it, but I am pretty sure everyone here will tell you stick with the Celica. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

mac your celica needs some help before you can get to a 3sgte swap and such...i'd say give mom the GT (fixed) and then get a civic SI and be happy with it...no tinkering cause duct tape and zip ties have a tendancy to fail sooner or later

But in all seriousness, I would probably go with an s2k over a civic. A nice 2000+ can be had for 20k and less! Plus, unless you plan on startin a family real soon, why would you need a sedan? -Josh This post has been edited by gt_driFFter: Dec 22, 2005 - 5:07 PM |

Well, the new Si has like 200 HP, right? Go for it. Sounds like you will still have the Celica in the family anyway, and we can only semi-hate you

As long its the new civic and not that stupid hatchback thing. If you have the money to do the swap then I say keep it. The body work can always come later. |

Because if you dont we will all come to your house and torch you and it in a 6gc inspired cult/religious ceremony..
Keep the Celi, because they are hotter than any civic, new or old. You have been through a lot with that Celica, don't give up on her now. Fix her up the way she should be and forget about the Civic. If you mom really wants to help, see if she will help you out with replacing some of the problem areas on the Celica at the moment. I could never give up on such a beautiful car. Bottom line: Keep it, or we'll burn your house down. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
