Hey guys and gals

Thought i might drop in and say hi and introduce myself. As of last month I am the proud owner of a 00' Celica SX

I previously owned a silver/gun metal grey 89' celica SX (series 4). Which unfortunatly had the oil pump seize up and throw the timing belt, and as a result it is no longer in my care. The damage to the engine ontop of repair costs and other things going wrong with the car (shockies needed replacing, sunroof was rusted and begining to leak, electronics in the car were starting to go) meant that letting go of the car was the sensible thing to do.

(i tried to find some photos but i cant seem to source them at the moment)

Anyway, I look forward to becoming a posting member of your community and when i finally start getting some propper money rolling in (im finishing my degree at the moment) ill be putting up some worklogs.

Regards.

manual of course. i absolutly love driving it. I've driven an assortment of luxury and highpowered cars inculding mercs and bmws and i honestly believe this is the best drive ive ever had. Just about everything is awesome... my only complaint is the torque low down... but then again, you cant have everything.

yeah thats why i dont have one.. eveything i've seen has been auto... but given that i'm a Gen 5 SX owner.. a Gen 7 SX would sh|t me...

I needs me a sun roof.. i think i'm referring to the ZR models

Living it up in Newcastle in NSW at the moment. I'm hoping to eventually meet up with other celica owners in the area.

Yeah, I agree, a sunroof would have been great. The unfortunate thing is that (like in my previous celica) there is leaking problems and rust problems with the sunroof (well, thats what I have been reading). And also, I couldn't find any ZRs in my price range with the same or similar condition to this SX that I have now.

hi guys,

just wondering about the celica with the 140kw does it have LSD like the dc2r?

unlike the DC2R, the celica SX/ZR is not a track focused car (neither is the DC5R aka type S, aka Fake type R).....Toyota!! are you listening?!?

oh cool thanks.

im just in between thinking weather to get celica or dc2r since celica seem to b more newer n reliable for the amount of money i have. i also realise that celica is a much more comfortable and it aint much slower on the street then dc2r.

anyway thanks for the info
