Ok guys, I know this is a little off topic but I feel this forum is like my home. Well I am looking at selling my 99 Jeep and buying a 95 JDM Celica GT-4 w/ 340hp. It is the Japanese AWD model and a guy in Conneticut has one and it is titled and tagged for street use. I really want the car but my parents are like "Well what is so special about it, why don't you just get a WRX or something." Any help would be greatly appriciated the car has 50000 miles on it and is in pristine shape. I should be going down to see it tonight. It is in Fairfield, Conneticut if anyone has seen it around it is red w/ vents in the hood for the intercooler.

On a on-topic note, after much of a delay at the paint shop my 83 is going in at the end of the week, expect LOTS of pictures. They are taking it down to the metal or most way down and color matching it to the original color, I am getting SOO excited.

PS: Post soon and maybe I can meet up with some of you Conneticut guys for dinner or to just say hi.

 

HOw much is the Celica? Those are some awesome cars in the AWD form, man.

 

It is going for $13,000. I want the car soooo bad, and my parents are like "we don't think it will be reliable" and I am like "It is more so then my jeep." Toyotas are awesome for reliability.

 

BUy it. Nuff said. I would think almost 17K with those miles on it. Great if you ever want to get into rally/autocross too.

 

IT IS MINE!!!! WOW!!!! What an awesome ride home. Got alot of looks for being on the wrong side, left hand shifting is actually not that hard and sitting on the right is actually alot of fun. Any one in the New England area want a ride?? Now I just need to get the RX-7 back from the paint booth. I am sooo happy, will get pics of the car up asap for any of you wanting to see the cars.

 

Awesome! Good job on that buy, man! Told you you'd love it

 

will have pics of it w/ the 7 next to it by middle of next week I hope, otherwise begining of following week cuz I will be in Baltimore for Otakon.

 

left hand shifting allows for greater control of steering wheel
OtakuRX, now start driving on the left side of the road

 

I dunno about that, High-RPM. I find left hand DRIVING to be better control. That's probably just 'cuz I was raised on it though
