the reason we don't have a toyota forum is interest. The entire japanese supercar forum is only 1/4 the size of the BMW forum.

there are other cheap cars equal (or possibly better) to celica, it's a good car, it's just not alone in being a performance bargain.

[LateNightCable]

Finally, someone who thinks highly of the Celica like I do . It's a great little car, very racy in architecture, if nothing else.

But just by looking at the size of the german car forums, you can see that this site is focused primarily on European cars. " Japanese Supercars ", " American Supercars ", and " Others " pretty much covers everything else fairly adequately.

Wats so great about a celica?I mean its not a POS but i dont think its great at all either.Just an avrage jap car.I dont like the way it looks really that much.

[skyline_r34v]

What's so great bout the new celica? Besides it bein under $25k fully loaded.

How bout the '04 Toyota Celica GT-S 6-spd does the average driver 1/4 mile in 15@ 93.5mph

Their has been recorded guys making stock celica gt-s run 14.02@ 101.5mph jus by learnin the way the car works and thinks.

Also a skidpad of 0.81g @200ft.

That's decent for a FF car

U don't see hardly at all any low-cost imports/domestics that deliver that kinda result without FI.

i wouldnt mention the 15@ 93.5 and .81g on the skidpad sucks im hoping thats a typo. if you really want fox's opinion bring up the torque curve of the gts.

[skyline_r34v]

Considering the average driver doesn't know jack squat bout how 2 race, no, its not "sucky".

For a lil 4 cylinder natural aspirated and not even over 200hp and u can reach a time of 14 seconds?

That doesn't "suck" as far as i'm concerned. And so wat it doesn't have

a big torque curve that slams u in the back of ur seat its still a fast ass NA 4cylinder.

My eclipse (stock) nor the v-6 eclipse or ur slow civic or si could beat this car.

U may not get the same rush or be as fun as driving a subaru wrx, talon tsi or mitsubishi eclipse gsx.

It's still faster than ne 4 cylinder out 2day in low-marketing sales bein NA.

All-in-all its not a bad car at all.

[bleh]

did i even mention this on a personal level? who cares what times the average person can post? .81 on a skid pad does suck, but a 14.0 in the quarter mile is pretty good.

i think celicas are alright you misunderstood me, again.

you didnt understand what i meant by the torque curve. i didnt mean its size, i ment the spike as soon as it hits lift. you probably have never even seen the torque curve of the gts, if you did you wouldnt have made the wrong assumption.

"low marketing sales being na"? i get what you mean but dont try to use bigger words to sound smart. use bigger words to better express your thoughts more efficiently.

[djfux69]

yeah .81 on a skid definetly sucks. btw what does a gsr run in the 1/4? and the rsx type S?

[LateNightCable]

Celica? Try .89g. RSX Type-S is more like .87. The Celica GT-S is an awsome car, it's a high strung athlete. The visibility, grip, handling, the whole experiance is excellent. It's over 250lbs. lighter than a Type-S, has a tighter turning radius, and beats it in the slalom. In fact, in a Popular Mechanics test of 12 compact sporty cars, the GT-S came second only to the Mitsubishi Evo in the slalom!

If you can appreciate a high revving handling machine, with the soul of a jet fighter, you should be able to appreciate the Celica.

Celica GT-S Rocks!

Hallo OLAC,

 

schau doch mal hier zum Thema Zubehör für Andere Automarken (Anzeige)? Eventuell gibt es dort etwas Passendes.

Celica? Try .89g.

i thought it was in that neighborhood.

im sorry if i see negative at times. i really meant to correct misinformation.

i admire everything that toyota did with the celica with exception to the taillights. i really didnt notice how out of place they were until one of my friends pointed out that they look like they belong on a pickup. i like the headlights though and the idea of a oem bodykit, even it it comes with a monster wing.

one of my friends has one and he did some sort of modification to something on the intake manifold or the throttle body and it had some crazy throttle response.

Celica? Try .89g.Celica GT-S Rocks!

ty i couldn't find the exact skidpad so i read that sum matrix had the same

driveline layout and suspension and it said .81g so i "figuritevly"thought

it would be the same. thanks though LNC

next time i'll completely check out facts be4 i say something.

[thepolarfoxqx]

no one but R34 knows how to race.

I've never heard of anyone getting a stock GT-S to quarter sub 14, but that's ok.

It's 0-60 is above 7 (not cool).

And by the way

IT HAS THE WORST TORQUE CURVE EVER.

the torque curve looks like cross-section of the terrain map of south america. low ... flat ... flat ... flat... (still nothing) flat.. flat. ANDES MOUNTAINS - WAY UP!!! .... and dead.

it has nothing till close to 7k, then it huge spikes, then dies again.

It's just not practical. Even with six gears, you couldn't always keep it inside of that range. It just couldn't be done.

It is not a bad car, but it isn't even best in class, and definately not worth the hype.

[bleh]

IT HAS THE WORST TORQUE CURVE EVER.

told you!

[thepolarfoxqx]

c'mon, like i could help myself.

[LateNightCable]

In the GT-S, 0-60 can be reached in under 7 if you know how to work it. The engine is very peaky, lets put it that way. So you have to rev it to get power out of it, a lot of four cylinders are like that. Not only that, but Lotus chose to use it too, not a Honda engine, I'm sure they had good reason.

The problem is, Celica gets no hype on this site, but I'm giving it cred. It's a car that challenges it's driver, stiffish ride and all. For all of that, I commend it! It's a light little car with sharp reflexes, how can that be bad?

It also has damn good breaks.

By the way, Bleh. I like the tail, I never would have thought pickup truck, but I see what your friend means.

[djfux69]

here is the question everyone failed to ask!!!!! why does this thread come up twice on the homepage?

[LateNightCable]

Maybe because it wasn't worth asking. Just a harmless glitch I guess ... Wait a minute, the lights just went out.

[bleh]

its really funny that you mention lotus using the integra type r engine and switching to toyotas. in a lot of ways i think the gts is better than the type r and as far streetability goes and was actually impressed by what toyota had done. before the most recent version of the celica i thought the only good thing toyota had going for them was the supra.

i also think lotus chose toyotas engine since it will not cost as much as the itr engine and they are going to try to make the elise affordable.

[LateNightCable]

The Celica engine will be good for the Lotus. Claimed performance is 0-60 in 4.9, 0-100 in 12.6, with a top speed of 144mph.

The Elise was designed around the 1.8 liter Rover K-Series engine. Although an Integra Type-R motor conversion is/was available through an outfit called Sun International.

[bleh]

wow those are some good numbers. you know its got a lot to do with the tranny. they probably geared it perfect for that engine. either that or the weight.... sub 2000lbs. mmmmm.

[thepolarfoxqx]

The integra R motor would have been awsome there. The celica has not, under any test driver turned over sub 7 that i've seen. The engine is peaky, sure. It isn't a bad car, it just isn't woth the interest people give it.

Oh yes thats it, i guess I AM the only 1 that knows how to race. :roll:

Look at #'s 6,8,9-13. I hope thats proof enough for u Mr.fox.

Notice the -Power Adders- section is blank meaning stock form on that forum.

there we go

[djfux69]

i dont know, i find it hard to beleive that a car with intake, exhaust, headers. flywheel, and LSD was only .02 seconds faster then "stock" i just think they didnt write down what they had done. notice towards the bottom they actually wrote "stock" next to a few cars. also notice the fastest time is a 13.5..... thats with a turbo, slicks and exhaust!!! that time right there makes me beleive that car is doodie. do the same mod to a gsr and your in the high 12s.

[LateNightCable]

wow those are some good numbers. you know its got a lot to do with the tranny. they probably geared it perfect for that engine.

Actually, the gears were so well matched to the engine, they left the gearbox alone, but reworked the engine electronics and such for a little more power. That, and the ultra light weight of course .

The Celica is not a bad car,it's just not worth the interest people give it.

I think the Celica needs to be given more interest if anything. Some people consider it a " gay " car, but thats stupid. It's a very light and pure car, which is uncommon these days. That in itself is worth some hype.
