Got A Celica Everyone

Just bought a Celica GTS a couple of hours ago. Black, 6spd, leather, 16"alloys, and oh yeah, an action package baby. Still have my civic, but I am now looking for a buyer. Thanks everyone for helping me out with all my problems, but the car was dam# nice. I think Im going to still hang out around here and see whats up, but I now am the owner of a GT-S.

I have no idea how to do it. I tried uploading pics onto this site from my car, but they were too big to load and I cant figure out how to shrink them down. Grey knows what Im talking about. I tried to have him do it, but I couldnt even fit 1 pic into a file to email it to him. I'll figure it out here in a couple days hopefully, and I'll do it.

i hope im not the first one to tell u this

im not putting ya down but my friend's GTS &lt;---all the mods that are out for it he has. even the AFC from apex-i!
u will get about 175 to the wheel, well its really harsh there are no turbos out for the gts but for the GT there are alot of parts out turbo and SC hehehe
well good buy on the gts!
i wish i can have that much dough to get a better car!

Don't worry about all the forced induction being for the GT. That isn't 100% true. Blitz is bringing a SC kit out that supposedly will manhandle ALL. And also i believe XS engineering has a turbo kit for the gts but it is WAY TOO $$$$. They sell it for something like 6000! Since its the only one on the market i guess some people out there will pay it. oh well, Enjoy the car, and don't smoke too many civics. peace

Alex

lowboy, e-mail me your pictures and I will resize them for you so you can upload them easily on here. This is my E-mail addy.

By the way, how's the shifter on that thing? I heard that it's a difficult 6-speed gear-box. DON'T MIS-SHIFT ON THE FREEWAY. Make sure when you go to 4th from 3rd, you're not going back to 2nd if you go fast in 3rd. A 6-speed will do that to ya. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] ... and cost you your transmission... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

action package , did you mean it comes with the TRD Wide Body kit?
cause in a recent magazine the full kits' price was something like $10,450 usd but it looks sick!
