im selling my celica look profile for pics, since i have taken those pics i have gotten into a wreck, i screwed my fender up badly, so the car on that side looks horriable, but all it needs is a new fender and a little paint, also the wheels in the pic one was broken and i know only have 3 of the wheels and 3 tires. profile shows all mods, the downpipe is not installed yet, still sitting in car. the celica is very fast, has beaten an 04 vette froma 60-120 roll by about a car and half, taken bolt on modded SRT-4, a WRX that ran a 12.7 (from a roll) the car has never run 1/4 mile or been dynoed. i would guess it would dyno anywhere from 250 hp and 250 trq to 290 and 300trq (flywheel hp of course) and if you were able to hook up with traction with some good tires would run a low to high 13's.

i have recipets for over 17,000 dollars of work on this, car has 195,xxx miles and the motor has 85,xxx (gauges cluster was on the clip i bought so i know for sure). car runs and drives great, the car has had the swap in it for around 2 1/2 years so all the little kinks and quriks with swap are no loinger an issue. i warm the car up every time before i drive and it and let it cool, the car was not really ever raced or driven hard, i did do the occisonal freeway race but i always shift the car around 1800 rpm and drive aroudn the same RPM (example going 35 im in 5th gear)

im located in tacoma Washingtion (zip code 98403)
im asking 6,500 OBO
pm or post any questions.

also just had new wheel bearings installed and a new axel and alignment.

If I were you I'd remove that from the ad, that's called lugging the engine and it's extremely bad for it.

What do you mean by that Doc?
I'm kinda interested
I drive my car like a granny as well,
so I would like to know how its bad
for the engine?

I don't know about you guys, but if i'm in 5th gear at anything around 40, its time to downshift. I usually stay in 4th up until at least 45-50mph with regular driving so it doesn't bog down.

my not sure about ur car but my car drives extremely smooth at 1800rpm it never bogs, unless its down around 1300.

and come to think of it i did break my headlight mounting tab, forgot about it

Found this after a brief Google search:

Describes it just as well as I ever could. On that note...

damn thats actually pretty interesting, never heard of that untill now.

Actually its in your owners manual that you should never drive below 2k rpms in a gear

Dang, If I get paid out soon enough I would get this car in a heart beat, Ill let you know tho, I am very interested.

My whole ST's front survived my wreck, I need to get this car, fix it right up!

i jus find it funny.. u beat an srt4 and an sti but claim u never raced the car?? what kinda info is that

PM sent

how did you take an 04' vette with just a basic swap?

quick answer from a 55mph roll, he was an automatic (didnt realy play into much) most swaps and some SRT4's say they beat C5's reg. i did stop and talk to him after wards, nice guy.

i just find it funny.... you never read the part about me doing an occisonal freey race.

More info on lugging...

By "lugging," we mean that the engine is struggling to accelerate. How would you know it's struggling? Because when you step on the gas to accelerate, it doesn't go faster. It might bog down, it might buck, it might lurch. And you might get noises from the engine, like pinging or knocking. If any of those things are happening, you're going too slowly to be in fifth gear, and you need to downshift.
