I just baught a new to me toyota!!!

I will throw some pics up later today but I love the Toyota product so much I just went out and bought a 2000 Toyota Celica GT. It is a fun little car. And the paint matches my Tacoma. I got this to be a daily driver. I just got a new job that is going to be a big drive and this will keep me from piling the miles on my truck and keep me from sucking up gas.

 

....and then race it wearing all black?

 

It already has a ricer muffler on it. Lucky it isn't loud at all. I wasn't going to buy the car if the exhaust was to loud. I can't stand an obnoxious muffler.

 

I'm sorry I dont get the race it in all black comment...

 

is i at least a stick so u can obnoxiously drive around in 2nd gear and be REALLY LOUD but not actually go anywhere?!

 

Your name is Ninja Racer. I thought you were a Ninja (Ninjas wear black) and race....

 

i thought it was a fair assumption

 

Ninja as in sport bike ninja. Not Chinese stars. Lol. It is a manual. I feel better buying an old manual trans as opposed to an automatic. Nobody takes care of an automatic anymore.

 

damn! cuz i just love when the ricers drive around like that. its the exact opposite of annoying.

 

LOL!! Well that totally backfired! I was going to mention bikes but I chose the OTHER ninja!! I used to have a Ninja 1000R but it was too bulky for me. Could not get that sucker to lean no matter how far I pushed it.

 

I had a zx6 when I was much lighter and I made that thing my bi+(#. There wasn't a larger bike out there that could get away from me unless they had a good straight away. My bike never had chicken strips on the tires. Just little shreds of rubber hanging off the edge of the tire. Unfortunately it got to the point I was fixing the bike more than I was riding it. So sadly I'm riding a cruiser now.

 

At the time I was 109 lbs and even with the Corbin cafe seat on it I still had a hard time. I was 7.5 months pregnant when the doctor suggested I hang up my helmet and gloves.....

The only bike that I kept was the Kenny Roberts race replica RZ350nc California edition (catalytic converters) two stoke. I got it brand new back in the day from his shop in San Jose.

 

@ a buck 9 over it would be hard as hell to get that bike to lay down.

 

a friend of mine drives around a GTS, it's a peppy little car.

way better mileage than my taco though

 

Yes mileage is a very big reason for getting this car. After driving the GT I would love to het my hands on a HRS.

 

So the car had a check engine light on and had a very vague code of PO420. I decided to go forward with the up stream O2 sensor. I took it down to the local parts store and had the code cleared and it royalty changed the idling characteristics. I think this fixed the issue. Now I don't have a tag on the car yet so I pretty much drove straight back to the house. Maybe 2 miles so we will have to see in the future if it is truly fixed or not. I also changed the oil & air filter and spark plugs. The next thing on my list is struts all the way around. So far I'm loving how easy this car has been to work on. I only wish I wasn't so fat cause after pulling the car up on my ramps it was still a tight fit to get up to exhaustpipe to get to the sensor.

 

Finally As Promised here are some shots

 

GTS is a much quicker car than the cheaper GT model. Just sold mine 2002 GTS last night
