Whats your purpose to build your celica? Options

[bccentaur3]

I've been pondering on the fact that all my friends are building their celicas, but for what?

I have a buddy with a 3rd gen swap with a turbo upgrade, but for what? He doesn't plan on building a drag monster, is it for his own enjoyment? Or is there a purpose to build it? Show car maybe?

Another buddy is building his 5s and also upgrading his current turbo set-up, but for what? He never pushes his car.

My purpose is to make on bad azz rally-x car. I could give a rats ass on the rock chips and the strain I would be putting on the car, its for my enjoyment.

Whats your purpose?

until recently I havent really wanted to do much to my car.

But then I got introduced to Auto-X this past summer, and wow.

Now I've got the bug to see what I can do to make her that much quicker.

to build a purpose built track and autox car. i've autox for about 3 years in my mr2 turbo, and now that its finally clean and resprayed (was beat up the past 4 years) i dont want to race it anymore. plus ever since i swapped the turbo motor, i've been running SM2, aka against modified z06 vettes in my region. all pros. boo.

so i bought my 95 ST for $800. theft recovery. stripping the interior, putting in a cage, kirkey race seat (hopefully), shocks, and good tires on 15" wheels. the class i would run would be E prepared, and it's pretty much other cars with the same mods. im excited. not to mention, i love the way the celica feels.

this will also do good at PAX or HPDEs (High Performance Driving Events) at local tracks. reliable and cheap. perfect
