Default Silly Celica

So I was leaving a movie (Watchmen...awesome) Saturday, on my way home. I happen to pull up to the light and a Celica's sitting in front of me, all modded out, fart can, ground effects, the works. It at least isn't ugly as sin, he did hold back a little. Anyway looking around there's nothing coming from the direction we're both headed and he guns it. I chuckle a little and give about a 3 second start. Then its on. I gun it out of there and I'm willing to bet in under 8 seconds I'm blowing by the poor thing, and he's still at WOT. Guy takes the first right he can and disappears. Was pretty funny, you could just tell this guy thought his Celica was the shiznit.

Good kill. Theres a few modded ones running around my town and I always get the hard-core staredown from them. I do like the older turbo+awd ones but those are rare.

well considering we don't know what you drive, it very well could have been. For all we know, you may have a twin turbo 900 horse street monster..jk good kill

i know right? or he has a 230hp 3rd gen. . . and the celica really beat him!

i always think you need to either have your info of your car in your sig, or give us a break down of the two cars at the begining of the post.

hell what if he was in his DD and its a slow 200SX or something slower like a Sebring. . . or even a S2K

















see if those guys catch that one

LMAO sorry guys, I've been with a Realtor, selling the house. My bad on the car, my daily driver is a 1998 Z28 which as near as I can tell is in stock condition. The previous owner mentioned a stall converter being put in, but I haven't checked. If there is one it's about a 2800-3000, nothing noticeable.

I plan on hitting a shop to see if they can tell me about anything in the engine. I'm not technical at all with vehicles, but I'm trying to learn.

Posting to see if sig is up now. Yay, there we go. Added an Avatar, sig, and posted a few extra pics of her. She's going into the shop on the 24th cause of a hit and run.

Thanks, she needed some tender loving care. I got her in NC (rented a car and drove there and drove her back), and the previous owners didn't even feed the right octane. I threw some super in her and her check engine light went off, she purred a little then we danced the interstate about 95 the whole way from NC to Kentucky. Best 4k I ever spent.

No use trying to make sense to him, he's 100% against me cuz I don't have a Vette/F-body/GTO. So light-hearted humor means nothing to him.

Hopefully you at least do the right thing and put an LS motor into the Honda. Those things need real engines.

If I had some real $$$ than an LSx/T56 swap would be a big consideration. But I haven't seen final results from anybody that has done the swap so far, so it wouldn't be happening anytime soon.

You could do a 2jz...has been done for a fact, and that would be killer. But I would still like too see a ls1 in it....do you know how much "blasphamy" will be screamed by the honda kids if you did that? lol.
