Just bought a Toyota Celica - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

vector_1979 · 02-21-2005, 01:57 PM

Just put a deposit down on my new car. It is a Celica base model 1.8VVTi 140bhp. But IMHO I think it looks the dogs bollocks!

I just feel like I have to share it with you all.

present_future · 02-21-2005, 02:32 PM

Congrats on the car. I've always liked the look of the new Celicas.

Lebell · 02-21-2005, 02:35 PM

Nice looking car, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Hope you got a discount for that

ElwoodBlues · 02-21-2005, 03:29 PM

Is the dog's bollocks good or bad?

GetRdone · 02-21-2005, 03:42 PM

Please tell me you wont be leaving it stock. That car is a nice candidate for a supercharger.....i think RippMods makes one.

I'm quite sure you mean the steering wheel is on the right side.

GetRdone · 02-21-2005, 11:15 PM

the physical "right" side.....but the actual "wrong" side. That is assuming the perspective of an america or someone else who drives on the left side of the road. Im sure to you ur steering wheels in the right place.

desal75 · 02-22-2005, 07:57 AM

I have driven a GT-S model extensively. Has to be one of the best handling FWD cars on the road.

The Dogs Bollocks is a good thing in England

GetRdone · 02-22-2005, 09:51 AM

isnt bollocks like...your ass? So translated into non-british-people english, woulndt that mean "the dogs ass?"

THGL · 02-22-2005, 10:47 AM

I thought bollocks were balls... so the car would look like a dog's ball sack.

One should not try to over analyze a joke

vector_1979 · 02-22-2005, 01:58 PM

the dog's bollocks ("bees knees" is a more polite version) excellent; top quality

hosti|e · 02-22-2005, 03:18 PM

Nice car, steer away from the TRD kit tho, it tends to look cheap and shoddy on the car. Also some slightly bigger rims and a 50mm drop would greatly improve its features.

Just suggestions of course

GetRdone · 02-22-2005, 03:53 PM

u mean the trd body kit dont u? because the trd supercharger we were talking about earlier doesnt look shoddy at all, plus it makes hp.

thatoneguy · 02-22-2005, 08:15 PM

I've always been a fan of the look of those newer-body style celicas, but haven't had the resources or whatnot to actually get one. Congrats on the car though, if you make any mods to it, post those, I like seeing what people do to their cars.

GetRdone · 02-22-2005, 09:40 PM

19's would be nice looking on that car....and if you dont believe they would fit, i beg to differ

Scorps · 02-23-2005, 12:04 PM

That looks different from the US model. Or is that the new design?

Yes the body kit. Mabye the one i saw was badly fitted or something but it didnt really seem to suit the car

GetRdone · 02-23-2005, 01:02 PM

ya that happens somethimes, so cars just look better with the stock body lines.. Although a lowering couldnt hurt at all.

Very slight differenences. The US Celicas have amber lamps on the side of the front bumper. And the UK version has a number plate on the front bumper!

edit: just noticed another difference - UK spec have clear side indicator lamp on front fender/wheel arch.

lk_3000 · 02-23-2005, 05:21 PM

Is that the 2005 model? Celica's are nice but, too bad toyota's killing it after this year.

vbuser · 02-24-2005, 08:19 AM

hurrah!

It is the 2003MY which is in essence the current 2005MY. I heard they will bring back the Celica as the new Supra .

Cycler · 02-25-2005, 03:20 PM

Nice looking ride, you should enjoy it for years and years.

1slOwCD8 · 02-25-2005, 04:38 PM

Wow, congrats on the new car. For a base model, its really nice, especially the interior. Is it a 5spd or 6?

What? No. The Celica is being discontinued and the Supra is staying discontinued.

GetRdone · 02-27-2005, 07:39 PM

Actually, i too have heard rumors that the supra will be coming back. Something to do with wanting to compete with the 2007 skyline

Suave · 02-27-2005, 08:25 PM

That is one sexy car!

vector_1979 · 02-28-2005, 01:21 PM

Can't wait now. I pick the car up on Wednesday morning. Tick tock tick tock.....

GetRdone · 02-28-2005, 02:58 PM

is the car "brand new" like 0 miles (or 5 or so from test drives) or is it new for you. If it is brand new, make sure u drive it cautiosly for a couple weeks, i dont think beating on a brand new motor is the best idea.....since its not broken in i dont think... Anyone know if they break in the motor (like on a bench test or something) before they sell em? or do u have to give the car time to fully break in?

lite campfire · 02-28-2005, 06:27 PM

The owners maunal probably gives very detailed instructions on how to break in the car from new.

Maybe you've been hearing about that Lexus concept car which the press keeps calling a Supra?

The car is new to me, but it is just under 2 years old. So someone else has "broken" the engine in!!!

GetRdone · 03-01-2005, 09:24 AM

cool, then feel free to beat on it at will!

wrongfullyaccuzd · 03-01-2005, 03:18 PM

Great buy, I've always loved Celicas. I'm very jealous.

Church · 03-01-2005, 08:54 PM

Yeah, VERY nice car. Has to be one of my favourite domestics. Nice buy!
