holcanis Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I am!!!! The celica is awesome! Although after owning 2 rovers and a Saab 9-3 that's probs not the fairest of comparisons Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen6GT Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Brilliant car! And for the money it's just about the best there is. I loved my first Celica, a Gen 6 GT, couldn't believe how good it was for the £1120 I paid for it, and my present Gen 6 GT Vert still gives me a huge kick when I see it, especially with the hood down in summer.

c_jnz Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Me too, 4 years now ..... I love the fact i can spend the money on more worthy causes like going on holiday, going out etc than spending it on more fault diagnosis because my broken ass turbo decided to break again.

Tom GT Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 after being away from the celica for a few years i really have found new love with my new celica, sure she has a few little niggles, but for the price i paid im well chuffed. who else is loving their celica? it's been less then a year, you were modding the Black SS-II till at least May last year http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.p...howtopic=101417 just waiting for the "for sale" thread and the "i'm buying an oil wasting Datsun" thread, you're like one of those fella's that constantly shags his ex-girlfriend, yeah she's pretty and all that but been there done that, you know someone's going to get the wrong idea try to get back into a relationship and it will all end with heartbreak exactly the same way as before. same with those frigging Datsuns.

Dan23 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 why is dan back in a celica, when he said FI was the way forward?how long you keeping this one for? FI is the way forward, for thrill you cant beat FI, but for practicality and looks and reliability you cant beat the Celica imo, iv always said that i wanna try hard not to get rid of this any time soon, i want another 200sx but as a 2nd car, something to play about with so when it spends 10 months of the year off the road broken, it doesnt matter as i still have the celica for my main car it's been less then a year, you were modding the Black SS-II till at least May last year http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.p...howtopic=101417 i never really felt like i owned that car, it just didnt give me any WOW factor, i never gave it a 2nd glance as i walked away, i never really enjoyed driving it, look how long i owned it for and the fact i dont fook all to it other than clean it. this new celica is so different, it feels different (dont know why) it looks prettier, i wanna try and keep this one for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair_GT Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 5 years in Feb I'll have had mine Still love it, it does really help not driving it all the time though, else I'd probably get bored. Can't wait to get my coilies on as well... Nice having a proper engine again that doesn't blow up all the time isn't it Dan The 3S-GE is a superb engine...the black one I've just bought has 140k on it, and it's as quiet and smooth as you can get...

Dan23 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) yeah this one is on 151k and is spot on, would never guess its done that kinda mileage, been spends today on little bits, it will again have a dan special Engine bay, but this time we are going green Edited January 15, 2011 by Dan23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony-94 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'd have had mine 11 years in March Still got the love, especially since sorting out a new clutch and other mechanicals. I still dont see anything I could replace it with.. they dont make or style cars like they used to! What I need to do now though is sort the bodywork - its not the pristine car I bought so long ago..

bigstring Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 The weather is the only thing thats not making me love mine right now, and the fact there's no brakes on the rear + body work damage, aprart from that it's all good baby!
