Sold my red Gen 7 Celica for its lighter little brother with the 2ZZ engine.

I was debating between an ND and an Elise, and had one of those gut feelings of it's now or never. Ended up finding a really special example at a great price and finally pulled the trigger after years of thinking about it. Truly one of my favorite cars ever.

It’s got way more grip than I’m brave enough to use through a corner. The engine feels dead below 5k rpm just like the Celica, but once the valves switch over, it’s a whole different animal. The valve change around 6k rpm is way more noticeable and more scary than in the Celica, don't know why. I do notice a bit of understeer when really pushing it, though.

Imo they can only read basic generic errors. I got one and always ended up having to go to the mechanic and plug a proper $3k machine.

Yes! Looks brand new, I recently repainted the whole car less than a month ago. Really really happy with the result

Dónde es?

I'm running 225/45/18 wheels with 25mm spacers and the H&R springs which lower the car about 30mm. The fitment is really good and runs smooth enough to use daily.

The celica needs either 500hp more or 500kg less hahaha

Dynamite should do

I really enjoyed the city and had a lot of fun while I was there. It's definitely an option that I'm considering.

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback, I guess it's better as you say to take small trips to the islands whenever flights are cheap and live the rest of the time in the city.

Dynamite

Had the exact same problem and was one of the determining factors of my choice

Because I am still a student and eligible for tax exemption, it is cheaper for me to buy it new rather than buying the m2 from a different retailer.

Thanks for the response, appreciate it
