but,NH has a stupid emissions law so if I get caught with a turbo in a non turbo car...or with a motor swap... I will fail my inspection...

actully no you wont as long as your car passes the OBDII scan and safety it will be fine. i used to live in NH

i like the licence plate!!

Hehehe thanks bro!

.....2000 GTS as well!!!! I did the same thing as you... in my eyes 78K, Leather, Power Everthing GTS for $3500 is a damn STEAL.

holy mother of god, $3500? how did i miss that? was it a salvage title or crack deal or something?

sorry for the thread jack, congrats on your upgrade - and to the op's defense, i'm looking for one myself. at least he didn't get a honda (sorry coomer).

I just picked up a vizage front lip kit....It's awesome. If anyone knows anyone selling sides or the rear,please PM ME!

[jdg371]

Vizage lips are sweet, nice pic up bro!

Lets just say I have family in dealerships and I work in one myself.. and I can buy used cars at trade in value...

silly ka,i just cant get over it lol,im gonna find one like that,lol i love the silver-black combo!!

This car takes time to get used to and I am taking the advice of other 00 GT-S owners and not hi-revving or lifting before 2 clicks over on startup as far as waiting for the engine to warm up and treating it like a turbo. I love how this car rev's up like a sports bike and just releases and takes off...I will never own another car that is NOT Toyota.

When your VERY comfortable with the car and shifting, try landing lift from 1st-2nd. Takes alot of practice, you will need to slip the clutch some to achieve this. Shift late 8350 to be exact. The non stop surge of lift from 1st to 4th is fun...

[97Celica]

I love being able to just blow people away. Have you changed your lift bolts to the new style ones?Other people keep asking me about it.

[IdiotStick]

Haha! I too bought a 7th gen, 2000 GTS 6 speed, leather. And holy **** your guys' cars are cheap!

I bought mine with 124,000Km's on it (77k Miles) for $13,500 Canadian(Which is DAMN cheap for us!)!



I havent changed my lift bolts yet either, and am not sure if the guy before me has. But once i see problems with lift I'l definately change it. It wont HURT it, it just wont let you engage lift therefore no fun past 6200 RPM's.

[jdg371]

Its always advised to change it, New Version 3 Lift bolts are available at your local dealership. Broken bolts can cause further damage such as metal pieces going to who knows where in your engine..

I didn't need to worry mine since its a replacement engine =[ 03 Vibe according to carfax

I found the write up on newcelica.org and the parts are $2 and take 20 minutes to change out...so,that's what I am going to do on tuesday
Today before work I am swapping to Denso Iridium sparkplugs and a K & N Typhoon intake!
