From a boosted Toyota, to a Nissan!

Boosted · 03-28-2009, 04:11 AM

Hey guys, just another newcomer here. I am currently driving a Toyota Celica GT-S. I was in the middle of purchasing a 335i, but after I've seen the 370z in person and test drove it last week, I decided it was the car I wanted. The styling for the new Z looks absolutely gorgeous, and in the end, I will be saving quite a bit of money. I will be picking up my new Z (Base model, solid red with sports package) sometime next week! Here are a few shots of the Celica that I will be parting with:

Sweet ride u have there. R u selling her? Or trying to trade her in?

MightyBobo · 03-28-2009, 06:39 AM

Fine upgrade. Those Celica tranny's are a joke, Ive heard

. I like my exterior mods a lot more subtle, but at least you turbocharged it to back up some of the looks. So what did it put down on what kind of dyno?

takimbe · 03-29-2009, 03:48 PM

GT-R looks pretty sweet. how much did you sell it for? if not, ho wmuch are you selling it for? I saw a similar one, less mods being sold down here in San Diego for about 11-12k...

Dude good choice for an upgrade. I think Celica is a girly car. Toyota never really invested on that car.

welcome

do you have any pics of the new Z yet???

m4a1mustang · 12-24-2009, 09:10 PM

Good upgrade. I could never get past the image of the Celica as a girl's car... very feminine!

MightyBobo · 12-24-2009, 11:28 PM

RRrRRRrAAAaARRrRrr ANGRY ZOMBIE THREAD IS ANGRY

Toyota's reliability is legendary, but for thrill-seekers, the Z is quite a few notches above the Celica. Even the MR4, which I really like, couldn't stand up to the Z. Congrats!
