Get celica or keep mr2

**Xpyoda** · 12-27-2005, 04:06 PM

should i sell this and get a 5th gen celica gt4

what you guys think? i mean this is a celica forum :)

**3sgte@daspeedof** · 12-27-2005, 04:16 PM

You have an mr2 without lsd = torque steer

**Locker** · 12-27-2005, 04:19 PM

I would prefer the MR2 personally. But its all about opinion. AWD vs RWD

**Xpyoda** · 12-27-2005, 04:21 PM

ya because the reason is im planning to go with those tein coilovers and put on same time slotted discs and mabe get an lsd

cuz thats alot of money and just asking if i should even keep the car because if im gonna sell it no use putting in these things

JR · 12-27-2005, 05:43 PM

keep the mr2, lighter than the awd gt4, and you'll learn to drive the rwd sooner or later

**Pineapple** · 12-27-2005, 05:45 PM

Keep the MR2 and learn how to drive.
Or trade your MR2 with my GTS.

**Ratko** · 12-27-2005, 09:41 PM

you're arguing for the 5th gen alltrac over a 2nd gen mr2 because of handing? i would find a different point for comparison if you're trying to convince yourself to ditch your mr2 for an alltrac. traction in poor weather conditions maybe?

you are better off with the mr2 if handling (to the point of "pushing it") is important to you.

**Xpyoda** · 12-27-2005, 10:15 PM

not only that though

space for passengers main thing tho i have no room at all

**Ratko** · 12-27-2005, 10:41 PM

that's a different story. in that case the celica would be a better choice, but then again there are many cars that are more purposeful for carrying passengers. remember the celica is still a coupe with limited rear passenger area.

JR · 12-27-2005, 10:54 PM

limited rear is absolutely correct, they should still be a 4 seater (like mine :D ) because u aren't fitting many more than 2 back there without really cramming...however if you are looking to fit more than 1 passenger than you definitely need something else...however if you still want power, save the money on trying to find/purchase a gt-4 get a regular 5th gen and swap in a 3sgte. The awd system is heavy and then you need alot more power for go fast ability. Also AWD is tricky to learn to drive too, especially from the 90's. Will push into a corner and then suddenly become quite tailhappy. FWD is easier to learn to drive with (especially in winter), than when you feel confident upgrade to RWD and AWD.

if you are really worried about pass. space, just get an early 90's lincoln town car, lots or room, lots of power, RWD, plus you can fit over 12 2-4's in the trunk, or 2-3 dead bodies...or extra passengers,

**Xpyoda** · 12-28-2005, 12:01 AM

ya but still able to carry 4 people.. what id really want is an evo or sti :)

but ya i gotta work like crazy to get that money

lol is this from experience? J/K

JR · 12-28-2005, 12:09 AM

nah we had one in at work, and we could fit two people over 6', over 200lbs in there no problem, and we measured it out for the 2-4's (12 is being conservative btw)

**Pineapple** · 12-28-2005, 02:40 AM

You don't want to seat at the back of the Celica unless you're a child.

**ThroesofRejection** · 12-28-2005, 04:14 PM

Ya, the back seat in a Celica sucks.

Try fitting 6 people in a Celica, one of them who takes up one whole back seat. Yea. That was fun. I've actually done this in a 5th and 7th gen. in the 5th, I had 4 people in the back. in the 7th, we had three in back and three in front. Yea. Imagine shifting with your girlfriends crotch on the stick (wasn't mine, it was my buddies).

**MartinGouda** · 12-28-2005, 04:49 PM

keep the deuce

**Xpyoda** · 12-28-2005, 08:02 PM

his girlfriends crotch on your stick????!! @@

what if you got into an accident? that wouldnt have been good -_-
like a damn clown car with 6 people getting out
j/k

this should go in off-topic forum lol

**Xpyoda** · 12-28-2005, 08:06 PM

also another reason i wanted another car was because no A/C and no power wind/lock
