After owning my Celica for the last four years ive finally managed too move on and into a Z. I went with a black 06 enthusiast, its like going from driving a golf cart to a space ship the torque is something ive never felt before. Thanks for listening to my excitment heres a couple pics of the new pride and joy.











Excuse the picture quality please, they were taken on my Iphone and i was a little shakey

 

very nice and welcome to the family. i to traded in my 00 gts for a 04 base model 2 years ago. needless to say i am on my 3rd z and this one being a brand new 08 base. i love it. i hope you get the enjoyment myself and others have gotten out of our z's and the family we have here.

 

I know what you feel bro, I had an 02 TRD Celica GT-S with action pkg... and the power is NO COMPARISON between the two... LOL

When I test drove my 03 Touring, I was like, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! I'm in love!" (LOL the dealer let me rip it down the I-10 fwy)

The only thing I miss about the Celica was the gas consumption you know there's a big difference when one car with a larger gas tank gets the same
mileage as another car with a smaller tank :/ ehhh... LOL f*ck it I love speeding down the freeway @ 90+mph like nothing HAHHAHAAHAHHAH!

old baby:


new baby (not actual car LOL, but this is how it looks like):

 

Looking good! Welcome.

 

Welcome to the Z club.

Your analogy of the comparison is spot on.

 

OOo, me too. Went from an 00 GT Auto to an 00 GT-S 6Speed and not to the 03 Auto Z.

Welcome!!!

 

very good choice on the upgrade

 

Welcome, and congratZ. Take care until you're used to the rear wheel drive and the extra power. Treat her with respect and I'm sure you'll have at least 4 years with your Z. You probably can't be a Toymota for reliability though.

 

Yah i litterally just got a new motor for my celica, and flipped it for 16k, the kbb on the car was 11k in excelent condition, needless to say the girl got ripppeddd...price wise...

 

Autobots Roll Out!!

 

haha nice, from a girlie car to a mans car

 

Another Celica to Z switch. Welcome!


My old 2000 GTS

 

i know the feeling as well i went from a ghetto 96 non turbo eclipse rs to an 03 enthusiast oh what a feeling

 

i got the car on sunday night drove it for like two hours, and drove it too get detailed like no other, so ive only driven it for like 3 hours, and im out of town 6 hours away and ive never been so home sick before...i get home tomorrow night and needless to say ill be driving for a while, shes sitting at home waiting for me

 

Silverstone were you on newcelica? Your gauge set up looks very familiar. I had a 01 gts also and even though I could run low 14s with it, the Z is a lot different.
Welcome OP.

 

Im sure most of us all were on newcelica, atleast i was

 

Yeah, I was on NewCelica.

My username was Arctic-GTS.

 

in the airport now waiting to head home to my baby, i cant wait!!!!!
