[TheJANG]

Think you guys could see me driving something like this?

I think I could :)

[ND4SPDR]

Yup. :D Looks nice...GTFour?

[James the Great]

Eh, maybe. Is that a 94 Celica GT Rally 4 or whatever its called?

[speedydave]

Sure could, Jang! :bling:

[TheJANG]

GT... GTFour would be wayyyyy too costly to maintain in the 'States, being a Euro- and Japan-spec vehicle.

[James the Great]

Shoot it a different color too.

[Doc Holliday]

My daughter used to drive a silver one. Nice ride!

[LiveLarge]

I do think that car is nice but I'm way to big for a car that small. I would lean more towards one like this

1962 dodge dart 413 Max wedge (http://www.musclecarcalendar.com/sp03_40.htm)

Be sure to listen to it run.

I have nothing against the new domestic or import cars (I drive a 2001 oldsmobile Intrigue with the dual overhead cam 3.5 liter V-6)but my heart will always be with the muscle cars of the '60s. I built a '68 Tempest with a 421 and dual quads but sold it because I could not afford the gas at $1.699 and 8 mpg I would like to get another after I finish college though. :devious:

Yes, though I don't know you too well Jang, I can still see you in that car.

[22benjamin22]

Yeah, decent ride. Just don't "rice" it out by putting on reeeeediculous body mods and a 17ft rear wing.

Some subtle white 18" racing mag wheels would make it look a whole lot better. If you don't blot out the wheels, it looks like a chick car. Put real wheels on it and it changes the look.

you could get red rims and chrome the car.:lol:

And after that you could put it in the compactor.

[TheJANG]

Oh yeah, TOTAL chick car ;)

And that is the wing & front fascia I want, factory stock items from the GTFour edition:

And wheels similar to this, only hopefully with spokes that are inset a little instead of flush with the edge:

P.S.: Hey LiveLarge, thanks for bringing up the "import vs. domestic" crap, this thread really needed that :d

[bigdano711]

I don't know, JANG, that wing is lookin' pretty ricey dicey! :lol:

Do you plan on hitting speeds that would actually utilize the wing in any meaningful fashion, or are you going for the extra HP it will provide just because it *looks* cool! :p J/K

You don't want to get caught in the Hall of Shame!! :lol:

[dudewittaTmaxx]

If i remember correctly, a spoiler, depending on it's size, starts to actually do something at around 35mph...

No shame in puting a Toyota-made Celica part on a Toyota Celica in my mind, but thas just me! :D

[TL-Ownz]

fully TRD it

[trxrustler11121]

You're right DudewittaTmaxx. They start working around cruising speeds. But most wings you see today only cause turbulence in the air. There's one at my school, I swear it's 1 1/2 feet tall. Plus it has one STEEEEEP angle to it. I don't see it doing ANY good. For what people think of a wing on cars (downforce=acceleration) it's not worth it. It would be more worthwhile (if you think the wing will give you performance) to change the suspension setup. But looks are always a ++ in my book. Just nothing WACK ok?

[ek4]

i dont know jang you dont seem like the "import" type to me.... i think these 2 would better suit you:evil: :evil:

Ah great, just what we need, another opinionated, unsubstantiated, not to mention completely off-topic, assinine "imports suck" comment. I'm seriously considering adding a new line to the rules about this trash and making it a bannable offense, 'cuz I'm sick of it.
