thanks for the input guys. Keep it coming :)
Personally I'd go for the VTI-R :)
Guys thanks for the the ideas......but im sorry to say im going for the celica, it was hard coz im a big honda fan but im getting a good price with low km and its the new shape, i got to drive the celica today got looked at and it passed all my test's.
il still be loged on here coz thankfully my g/f got a new prelude "with i wanted, but i dont want to have the same car as her....um maybe il switch cars with her LOL" .
BTW do any of you guys know if there is a toyota site like this one ????
www.toymods.org.au or something along those lines.
yeah the celica is a nice car! looks good, goes alright and newer then the integra VTIR.... but im sure u could get a type R for a cheaper price then u are getting that Celica... and it will be much quicker.
dont rush into it...
if u like coupes, id personally get a CIVIC vtir Coupe and with the extra money modify it...
however celicas do react well to mods... my mate has one - he originally got 94 kw at the wheels. and then he put a AEM CAI from america and full exhaust and got 110kw at the wheels.. such a big difference and no tuning.
there is stacks of parts for these cars in America, you can get it all from ebay.
110kw with only CAI and exhaust - NVL (NOT VERY LIKELY) :!: :!: :!:Quote:

the tall gearing drops out of the vvtli rev range while accelerating heavily ..
the engine is also a yamaha item .. so id guess they would be pretty cluey about high revving engines due to their motorbike heritage/(similar to honda)
but the suspension is definitely a big problem on the celicas.. and nothing compared to the Vtir let alone the R
bottom line, celica is new to the ff vtec sports combo, honda has been doing it forever..
well i can show you the before and after dyno graphs if you dont believe me???Quote:

In this case though, I think you made the right choice between a 2001 Celica and a 1998 VTI-R Teg... The Celica is newer, styling is probably better inside and out compared to the 98 teg, lower kms, etc. Personally that would have been a hard choice for me too... but since I'm performance orientated, I would've probably gone the teggy vtir. But Celica is the better buy... Enjoy your new car!
