my new celica, not 56k friendly

[maxaud]

took some pictures of my new car.
The car is completely stock except for a Blitz Turbo Timer and CD player.
It has 78k miles on the clock.
I might try to take off the speed limiter and maybe a couple other things, but other then that It'll probably stay stock.
any other questions or comments feel free to ask.
take care.
pics as follows:

Nice! Where is that at? Welcome to the site

[maxaud]

I'm located in Sandpoint, Idaho. The pics w/ the arch were on the drive back from North Carolina where I picked up the car.

It's AWD turbo, nothing impressive but not bad for awd.
5000 made in the world, only a couple in the states, and it's the only street legal one.

[talntid]

That's so awesome. I want to see it in person! :)
We need another SpokaneSpeed meet now!

[maxaud]

I'm down. There is a mr2 and celica gathering at Plummer Idaho this weekend I was thinking about going to. Meet there and drive along the St. Joe river to montana and back or something

[talntid]

Hmmmmm.... Maybe a Supra should tag along :)

[VWLover]

I just cannot imagine driving on the right hand side of the car!

10/1 Sunday Drive - St. Joes River (N. Idaho)

I want to get in one last drive before Summer is over and St. Joes Scenic route looked like a decent trip. I've never done the drive so I don't have any details other than the meeting location is St. Maries in the morning and we'll go from there. If you are interested, post up and we'll work out a specific time and place.

I wouldn't mind a closer meet or something though.

RIGHT NOW GEESH MAN! I have to have at least a week to plan. And the weather is suppose to be going south. As in cold! So this would have to be someplace were people can get out of the weather in case it rains. Any ideas anybody???

[talntid]

We'll split that off to another thread -

I won't be able to make the drive as it is on Sunday, and I work on Sunday :(

[a1320honda]

So i gotta know, what did you pay for that? very nice car man. Big fan of the initial rally bred cars.

[Silver R/T]

probably feels weird driving it on the road

[maxaud]

I paid $8500 for the car $188 in plane tickets and only $315 in gas to get it from NC back to ID

I see it as a steal seeing as how the USDM All-Trac version goes for the same price at times.

definately wierd to drive on the road, I always find myself drifting into the other lane becaus eI'm sued to being on the left side of my lane.

[talntid]

lol. That doesn't seem like a bad price for such a cool car.
Does your insurnce company know what it is? Was it in their database?

[maxaud]

I had to sell my soul and everything else I own to get it though. I had $1000 which I threw down as a deposit and I had to pay the car off by tomorrow or I would lose my deposit and the car. At that time I had nothing but I really didn't want to lose the car so I sold a couple other cars and take out a small loan. :) As of right now it's my daily driver.

The insurance saw it as the USDM equivalent but I had them change it so I would be covered. It wasn't in their database otherwise. Insurance is actually $8 cheaper for 6 months then my Jeep Cherokee.

[Silver R/T]

getting parts for it would be bit expensive?

[maxaud]

getting parts for it would be bit expensive?


shouldn't be seeing as how alot of the parts swap w/ the USDM version, but stuff liek the Hood/Bumper/fenders/visors/brakes/intercooler/tranny/steeringwheel/dash pieces/and a few other things are different.

[maxaud]

here are pictures of my first two awd turbo celicas, they are the usdm version, both cosmetically stock except the wheels..
(my truck I sold in the background :()

I wanted, and still want, an alltrac sooooo bad. very sweet.

[a1320honda]

I used to have a white 88 all-trac. That thing was a nightmare to maintian. and i also at the time had an 88 st. The all-trac was good except for when it warmed up it would run like shit. I spent prolly $1500 tryin to figure out the problem and never did so i sold it after 2 weeks. Now i regret it seeing how rare they really are.
