civicplaya20 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 So yeah I posted about the camero about a week or so ago, well the guy never called me back. I sent him like 3 emails and he never got back to me.. Oh well I said F that and kept looking. I found an 02 Toyota Celica GT-S for 11500. I'm pretty sure I can talk to guy down to 10 even just because it has 86k in mileage... Wanted to know your guy's opinion.. So let me know if ya can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Toyota's notorious for being more reliable then the LS1 GM Products. :( I'd jump on it, if I were you and really wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicplaya20 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 See at first I didn't really like the idea of it. But the more I think about it and the more I read about it I like the idea.. I have never really looked at toyota's but they seem like the have good motors to build on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I think the GT-S has a 1ZZ-FE..which isn't TOO bad..I guess. Blitz makes a supercharger for it that boosts power pretty nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicplaya20 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well when I compare it to what I have had it's gonna be an upgrade. Coming from 140 or so horsepower to 180 horsepower will be quite nice. And when I add things on like intake, exhaust, and if I get to it a supercharger, I will be able to have a lot of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 i dislike celicas other than the ones with round headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 i like em. they are kinda girly cars, but hell, you know how many ppl say del sols are girl cars? lol. does it have the sport package on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I think you're over estimating the horsepower. You're not going to notice the 40 HP gain. It still probably runs a 17 in the qm. I'd say get a turbo car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Try 15's, Celica's aren't as shabby as people make them out to be. And, not everyone wants to chance buying a factory f/i car. They don't last long at all and if you're sort've absent minded and don't maintain them better than you would an N/A car, it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 So don't be an idiot... My friend has an SRT-4 with 151,000 miles and he's still on factory everything... down to the clutch. There will always be a bigger aftermarket for f/i cars and they are a lot easier to make go fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Sounds like he doesn't bring it over 2500rpm, at all. Either way, I don't believe that due to the fact that most water pumps on most cars don't last that long. But it's the internet, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Kegger Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I have seen water pumps last the entire life of a car and never once skip a beat. Especially on Hondas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSX-S-T Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'd keep looking dude, hopefully whatever you get you dont regret. Personally I dont like celicas, but I'm not you. But Factory Turbos are easier to hook up than non-turbos. Think about it the stuff is already there. Ultimatly your call though, sucks about the camero though.

civicplaya20 Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Ok so I was able to check out the car yesterday.. It was clean all the way through. It's a 2002 silver celica. 6 speed trans, stock rims, cooper z rated tired. Has 86k miles and a kaminari (sp) body kit. The body kit on it is clean too, I mean it's not extremely crazy looking. Perfect black leather interior and when I drove it not only was it quick as hell but there weren't any bumps or pulling or anything. I think I am going to get it.... Now I gotta wait for the bank to move their ass on the loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 1zz-fe is in the GT. GTS has a 2zz-ge I believe. The GTS is about as quick stock for stock as a GSR. They take fairly well to boost too. I've never been crazy about the looks, but they're good running reliable cars so I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIR_VTEC Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Or you can be really nice to Nancy and she could think about selling it to you for 8-9k for hers she just bought Nancy's GTS Nancy you owe me for the plug lol @^_^@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
