What did you drive before your Celica?


Recommended Posts

Now I got my 1zz Celica :thumbs:

Although I will probably get bored of the 1zz and get either a conversion or PX it for a 190 in 6 months time when I have another year's NCB under my belt. The lack of engine oomph in the 140 is the only niggle I have.

You get used to lift aswell!! a year on and dont get me wrong, i love her to peices, but could do with more oooomph! but i just think that it is built into me! haha. make all my cars go faster!! I neeeeeed a turbo again in my life... and rear wheel drive.

If my new job comes to fruition, and i get silly. Se7en will be getting a mahooosive project in their laps!!! :D So here's hoping tuesdays interview goes well. can you say double your salary??!! wooop fucking wooooooooooop!! haha.

lol yeah I spoke to some dudes at the Bluewater meet and they say lift isn't enough for them now! However going from no lift to lift will keep me grinning for a while :)

good luck with your interview next week mate :thumbs: sounds like a supercharger is being hinted at! ;)

wish i could ask for double my salary! I'd be muckin' finted! :lol:

Not supercharger noooo. i love my turbos, although i have heard the chargers and they do sound mental. but i want a turbo.

And ill be getting loads of money as i am hoping to be moving into engineering side of things in the private mega yacht side of things, im currently on the cruise ships. There is waaaaaaay more money in the private sector but hard to come by. but, friends in high places. three people in the engineering team i know, one of which was my cadet, and junior engineer for a while, he has put me in line for this job, so defo owe him a beer or three if i get it. :thumbs:

Then i have been thinking of transplanting RX8 interior and rear chassi into the gen7 to convert it. just need to find a front end write off RX8. And then its onto a montser engine build. :woohoo:

Old? Just a kid.

How do you like the Hayabusa? A mate of mine had one, I had a few rides on it and almost sh*t myself!

its one of the first bikes on a t plate before they restricted them and i thought the bandit i had was shit quick but the busa is in another league,theres only the seat hump stopping me flying off the back at anything more than half throttle at any speed in any gear its acceleration is relentless

i was always into fast cars

my 1st was......wait for it.....PUG 106...mighty 1.5diesel

Performance was stunning with its 52-53horse power, 16seconds to 60mph...amazing

Obviously once i fitted the HUGE 14" rims, which by the way were made of alloy, only the best, it went even faster.

It was a High-Performance car, so no luxuries like central locking, electric windows....

Oh yeah, only the back driver side was tinted, this was purely for economic reasons.

Mondeo ST are always better than Vectra GSI, lol had a vectra SRi while my megane was being repaired, worst month of my life! never felt safe in it! compared to my mondeo which was a pleasure to drive! and produced more power than the GSI :D

and Rammers i'm guessing a Nova?
