GTsillycar Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 i think both the gen 7 gt and dc5 are top motors if im honest and i spose i cant really go wrong,but as i say you can pick up a 06 plate gt for same price as a dc5 2001 plate,but i have read that the dc5 is one of if not the best fwd handlein car ever made? And that engine, I knew a guy at the local Honda dealership, told me that car was on sale for over 6 years before a single engine failed Don't know how true? but if it is that's pretty amazing considering they must get ragged.

Guest Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 i just dont know how i would feel seein my car drive up the road for last time with someone else in it after all the work ive done and stuff,once its gone its gone,if it was a complete pile of shite i wouldnt give two fucks lol but thats not the case,people always sayin nice stuff about it and how clean it is even when i took it to toyota the young mechanic said keep it its nice,sigh! i dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsillycar Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Mate i tottally get where your coming from, i only had my car for 5 months and i'm not sure about letting go. Yours is a really nice example and who cares what the mileage is. Hey you could always sell it to me and i could pull the engine out and V6 it while using mine as a daily driver. :xmas_biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 ive had this one about 3 years now and am quite attached to it,think id kinda be a bit gutted if i saw it go up the road for last time,however you cant keep a car forever aye,but i just dont know if i should as its a good one aye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTsillycar Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Truth? NO! BUT, it's not just a car is it, it's your hobby. Engine transfer even going Beams, 3-sgte or v6 aint gonna cost any more than GT4 money really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTsillycar Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'm not doing it for 2 reasons. I aint had my car long and although i think it's lovely, it don't owe me much. Secondly and this is the big one. Am i such a great mechanic that i can make a fast Celica better than Toyota with their millions of pounds in research and expirience? Not to mention Rally pedagree and 4 wheel drive. Answer: Not on your nelly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_jnz Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Project engine, buy it for pennies drop it in yours. Fensport are running 199bhp out of their 202 with a few head mods. Handling is where you can transform the car, polybush, upgraded anitroll bars, strut braces front and back, good quality adjustable coilovers , and some good tyres :xmas_cool: I think the DC5 is a great car but they seem overpriced or atleast the DC2's are.

Not to mention Rally pedagree and 4 wheel drive. Answer: Not on your nelly! still think you should keep yours tho,ill prob end up keeping mine,just bear in mind the fuel costs cos its quite a big diffrence from the gt,not trying put you off but as i said i had to go back to a gt in the end,just bear it in mind as im sure you are anyway Project engine, buy it for pennies drop it in yours.
