Today listed car for sale/trade in a local group off of facebook. It's just disparaging when there are cars with the same power with much better mpg, or the same mpg and more power. Like some kind of horrible compromise. If I'm going to be slow, might as well get the best mpg possible you know? It does look the best of the 4 cylinder cars, still... Same level of speed and can save $300-500 a year in gas. And all the curves around here a boat can handle with ease, so that takes away the other advantage of the Celica. Maybe I just have commitment issues.

swap a 7a in your car, then get the best mpg. how many mpg will you save? 2 -4 miles per the gallon if you buy another car.

wish you luck buddy.

for an extra 3 miles per gallon, i wont sell the celica, and now that i use premium gas..

right there with you, why not get a vtec with the same gas mileage and better hp, or anything else. I'm trying to get away from celicas, but its a curse, i keep finding them cheap to buy and selling them for 4 times what i bought them for!! I just want to find the right car

on a side note: got my iphone 5 , and then sold it lol

7A is what's in it. Save 5 or 11 mpg combined depending on the Civic. Not counting the VX or HX since they're so hard to find. Of course in order to get the 11 mpg increase would mean a CX Civic with some 70hp... Though perfect situation I'd find a VX which would give a combined 16 mpg over the Celica with 92hp. All of the roads I drive on have a speed limit of no higher than 55 anyway. It sucks horrendously. Only reason I got the car was because it was my uncle's. Had wanted the Civic for its mpg anyway... It's a love/hate kind of situation. The car itself I like, I just wish it got better mpg for the measly amount of power it has. If the ST had the GT's power with the same mpg I wouldn't be bitching about it. For the same amount of 0-60 performance I can get significantly better mpg. Curves are non existent, so handling really doesn't matter. I like Toyota more, but damn it's aggravating.

Still have mine as well...though it will be in pieces this weekend so I can fix a bunch of items..then a complete sand down...

So my post is not Today I, but tomorrow I.

... cleaned out my fiance's nest (aka the glovebox) and as I was looking through all the manual, etc, I found all the original dealer stickers, tags and whatnot. Even found the window sticker. That pleased me to have. Though it does say on it under optional equipment, "CALIE EMISSIONS REQUIREMENT". Did they all come like that in '99? Don't Cali spec cars have extra emission bull**** that robs me of what little power I have?

All cars sold in NY State are Cali emissions. It's ****ing annoying. Lucky for me, the only difference is 1 more o2 sensor and 1 more cat on the OBDI Celica. SOooo, second cat is gone and the second O2 sensor will be as well tongue.gif no check engine light comes on because its OBDI and the computer doesn't give two ****s lol.

Unfortunately in your situation, you can't do much accept for putting a higher flowing cat on the downstream and idk about performance.... but my Cali emissions seems to be just as fast, if not faster than non-Cali 94-95 GT model Celica's...

I hear ya. Had to cut my front licence plate bolts off with a dremmel because of rusted and stuck bolts and ended up taking a burning hot shard of what was left of the screw to my wienus. My poor wienus burned for a half hour!


On that note,


I love how our cars look without front plates. So, relocating to a odd angle that hides the plate more ftw!

OUCH!!!

Every car looks better without front plates... Front plates just ruin everything.

Today I am bout to flip the frig out trying to get this driver side axle off.

I've taken them off 4 times before, only once was it this difficult.

Tried for 3 hours this morning, and another 2 1/2 yesterday.

I need my car to get to work tomorrow...........The hulk has nothing on how livid I am right now.

Just found this...guess I'll try to go find a slide hammer with the puller since I don't have means to weld vice grips to it.

Funny enough, he is working on a 6gc =P

Today I found someone from a local forum who was willing to let me use his garage for free! So I spent the whole day yesterday shopping for tools (jack, creeper, jack stands, tool box, ratchet set, pliers and a bunch of other stuff) since I didn't have any at all! So I met with the guy and he was totally cool about the whole thing. He gave me a key to the garage and said 'just lock up when you're done and toss the key in my truck'. He also offered his air compressor, but sadly, buying air tools was not within my budget. Unfortunately for me, my ****ty ratchet broke (never buy cheap ratchets!) when I attempted to remove the 30mm axle nut to get the driveshaft off the knuckle. So I told him I'd buy another ratchet sometime this week and he said that I'm welcome to use his garage anytime! I'll have another go at it next weekend. I offered him a case of beer for his generosity but the man refused so out of appreciation I just tidied the place up a bit before I left. It was the least I could do.
