My Celica hasn't had any major machanical problems. The most that I have had to do with it was get new brakes. I have chosen to do additional work on it. I added crank and alternator light weight pulleys, a header, cat back exhaust, short ram intake, and sway bars. It handles great and is pretty quick too. I don't understand when people say the GT-S is better; I have raced them and I beat them. And I haven't had any motor work done. The only thing I like better about the gt-s are the 4 wheel disc brakes. Otherwise, the only thing that needs to be taken care of is my passenger side headlight lens, as it has some condensation in it.
Celica is a great car, because if you take care of it then it will take care of you.
Nice man. So now your 0 to 60 time is what like 10 seconds?
Actually it's more like 14.5 seconds on a down hill.
Seriously? You all are raggin' on his GT? If it's got the exhaust he says it does, and the intake, then he's got more than enough torque to embarrass a stock GT-S off the line... The 1zz only has 5 ft. lbs less to start with. A modded GT-S will still kill it though.
