Some red celica down UD.... (NOW WITH PICS)

[Gorilla Unit 33]

Ok so me and some friends were riding arround university of delaware campus today and as we sit by some ledge a red celcia, with a fake blower sticking out of the hood, lifted rear end, parachute, wheelie bars, and HUGE rear tires (like some funny car tires) comes rolling down the street....

:screwy:

Now oviously this car was not RWD, lack of a rear, and it still was as slow/sounded like a normal celica with exhaust but who the hell had this idea? anyone ever seen this car? it was my first time down UD in a year and all of a sudden its like a hide out for some of the hideous cars in the world.

Although i did see a nice silver ej8 (96 - 99 civic 2dr) with a fmic and full race stickers on main st. possibly Igo4bmx?

pics thanks to keeper:

Holy isht I'm on drugs. It may have been James then, I'm not sure if he has fullrace stuff or not.

[///chrism3]

[Z3R0]

[Oreo931]

I've seen this car too...quite possibly the dumbest car I've ever seen in person.

[Keeper1343]

here you guys go.... Enjoy http://my.is/forums/f104/modified-celica-331668/

[lagos]

what the? how the?

[maximaserg]

so... its a riced out wannabe show car that has nothing done to the engine, and looks like it owns the track?? Rediculous. lol HA HA HA HA H AH A:lol:

[OMG JDM]

hahahaha

[driftingrx5.7]

o my word what the

[Vypurr]

What the hell??? How the hell did he get those rear tires on???

[Keeper1343]

honestly guys... Its not that bad. I see that he has spent a ton of money on this and really isn't done half ass at all. as far as the work done to it, whoever did it did a good job. I respect the work that was done. I am sure if it was actually fast and not FWD that this thread would be filled with a bunch of "wow thats badass" posts.

[ToyotaTat]

there's a Fast and Furious sticker in the window.

[whitezenki]

But its not.

In fact its probably wicked slow. Turning those back tires has to take forever.

[Keeper1343]

ToyotaTat there's a Fast and Furious sticker in the window

I can't defend that at all haha.

but the simple fact is that he was going for originality not the everyday STI or Evo you see everywhere. And it wasnt done cheaply.

[ozthunder]

I guess we shouldn't pass judgment on everyone's poor investments.

[Keeper1343]

Everyone knows that anything to do with our cars is not an investment, or so i would hope.

[ozthunder]

Really? I would consider a car you put a loan out for to be an investment. Sure, its emotionally binding, but an investment nonetheless.

[Keeper1343]

how is it an investment when its value goes down as soon as you drive it off your lot.

[martang]

god I hate d-bags like this that give celicas a bad name.

[ozthunder]

how is it an investment when its value goes down as soon as you drive it off your lot.

Just b/c it depreciates does not mean it cant be an investment; there is a way to guage worth past lot value, and thats in the open market. Durr. :)

[Vypurr]

Honestly. That car is complete crap! Yes, he put good money into it...But he wasted his money. It is different because its such crap! First of all, the rear. yes he put big bucks into that setup, BUT ITS NON-FUNCTIONAL!!!! Next defending him for being different. He is different because its retarded, and nobody else would ever do that to a FWD car. He deserves to be made fun of because not only is it no faster than it was before, it is in fact slower now due to all that added weight. Show car? OK, but still looks dumb. He could have build a RWD car up for the same amount of money or less even!

[SovXietday]

That is the single dummest thing I have ever seen. He poured so much money into that car for absolutely no reason what so ever.

[Charged SVTF]

Must be setup for autocross lol.

aparently all you care about is speed... He doesn't deserve to be made fun of cause of his car. I have def seen alot worse than that. And it is original. Not like ur car where there are a million of them everywhere you go. ( not knocking those). My car... I leave my side swipe there because i know its all custom. You can't buy that **** and it makes my car original.

[ozthunder]

lol..what?

[Vypurr]

No, not just speed. Also functionality. Practicality. Aesthetics. None of which that car has. Literally, that is like taking my hand and chopping off a couple of fingers. Sure I am different now, but not in a good way. Sure I can still use my hands, just not as well. And yes, my hand is not as fast as it used to be, but thats not why chopping my fingers off is retarded!

[ozthunder]

And yes, my hand is not as fast as it used to be, but thats not why chopping my fingers off is retarded!

*Aesthetics?

I bought my car b/c of all the above. It was sound as an investment, and I love it to death.

[Vypurr]

haha! spell check pwnt me.

[whitezenki]

Quit defending this guy.

Not only is it rice, but its stupid rice.

Can you imagine trying to go around a turn in that thing. Those rear tires are less effective then riding around with the ebrake up all the time.

[ozthunder]

I had a very, very pithy comment, but decided to hold my tongue.

[cmr076]

dude what are you talking about he can just drift around the turns... duh

[cmr076]

ohhh do it, do it, do it,do it

[ozthunder]

Well I was going to say something along the lines of...

It'd still handle better than a Mustang.

[cmr076]

hahaha good call.

[Keeper1343]

i think its time for this thread to be locked... all you guys want to rip on someone if they do something you don't like. I am not saying i like it but i respect its originality. He could have easily bought and STI or Evo or SRT like most of the people around. But he didn't. I really hope he will spend the extra 10K to make it fuctional so all you guys change ur minds. All he has to do is mount a small block and replace the rear and it is all fuctional. Maybe thats coming next.

[ozthunder]

You seem to have some form of inside information we are not privy too; do you know this guy?

[Keeper1343]

no i don't know him. But if that was my car thats what i would do. I hope to god he does it. Small block 300 shot would be sick

[SupraJDS]

What the hell is that thing?

[martang]

I hope you realize a small block would not fit into a celica unless you don't like turning

[Keeper1343]

if you have money... anything can be done. And this person has money by the looks of it

[martang]

I guess you have never seen how cramped the enging bay is with only a 1.8L in it

[whitezenki]

Well until he does put something like that in it, its still gonna be rice.

And after he does, its gonna be gay anyway.

[SupraJDS]

^ I agree

[pearl]

v8 killer

[Vypurr]

Except it will actually need a V8 to kill one though?

[pearl]

i bet it does wheelies in reverse.

[__owens__]

yea i dunno about that

[Vypurr]

This about sums it up!

I bet you he IS him

[Keeper1343]

I bet you he IS him

right.... I hope you don't think i would drive that. I am a honda guy.

[ozthunder]

What's so wrong with that?

[jh95zenki]

I'm a nissan guy and I would drive plenty of other makes....

I have no respect for that celica at all
just because something has a lot of money put into it doesn't make it worthy of respect

[Gorilla Unit 33]

Must be setup for autocross lol.


...im LOLing at this im glad i could share this eyesore with the rest of the group

[pearl]

someone find out what meets he goes to, i wanna see this thing take off out of the hole.

[D Money]

I knew what car you were talking about the whole time, I just couldn't find pics. I really would have paid to see your face as you saw that thing coming down the street.

[Chris_PA]

right.... I hope you don't think i would drive that. I am a honda guy.

I would've never guessed

haha

[Chris215]

lol, holy ricedouttothemax batman!one!!211!

[mg23]

i think im gonna go hang myself

[drew]

wow thats uh

thats..

wow

[97eclipse]

well he has got to be pushin alot of power, all those stickers are worth 10 hp a piece!!! haha jk.

[4g64FTL]

I saw that at the Tuner Evolution in York and it was the dumbest thing I ever saw in my life. The interior was worse

[CleanNeon98]

lolololol thats just wrong

[J.Ralli]

wtf......

[scutzi128]

He has pyle audio too. Pile of **** more like it.

Theres really no way that you could possibly justify what he did to that car. The overused phrase "Hey guys! He spent alot of money and hard work making his car the way he wanted it!" doesn't even remotely justify the slaughter done to that car.
Using the holy water bowl at church as a tiolet has originality also, but like that slaughtered Celica, its still a really terrible idea.
The STi/EVO comments from you are getting old. I didn't buy an STi or WRX to be "original". I don't base my car decisions on fads or whatever is "h0t, yo". I really don't give a shet about trying to be original and a nonconformist. You say to respect people's cars but yet you constantly bash STi/EVO owners for not being "original"?

[Keeper1343]

I love the STI and Evo's just as much as the next person... but the fact still remains that his car is a SHOW car and not a race car. He wanted to be original for show purposes. God forbid someone on this site doesn't want to go for speed and just wants it for show. Which is EXACTLY WHAT HIS CAR IS. He has won alot of trophys for it. (atleast the website i found said so)... Either way if you don't like it, don't go and bash the person for it. Be a adult about it and just say "that is ugly" or "i don't like it" You don't have to be cruel about something you don't like.

[ozthunder]

That's not being cruel, that's voicing an opinion. Being cruel would be damning him to hell for such blasphemy's. Stating that I (or we) think it's stupid and ugly is merely an article of our First Amendment rights.

Obviously, he did that for attention- hence "show". Therefore if those opinions would be in conflict with that nature, then it would undermine everything to do with the category.

It comes with the ballpark, basically. If it's gonna be "show", it's going to be judged. Plain and simple.

[Keeper1343]

and once again you don't understand. Voice a opinion but not a cruel one. Like your mama always said. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all. Its that simple. First ammendment rights have nothing to do with basic manners.

[ozthunder]

lol, dude, is he posting here? No, not unless its you. Basic manners apply to person to person interaction, not a forum...which is defined as..

# a public meeting or assembly for open discussion
# a public facility to meet for open discussion

An Internet forum is a web application for holding discussions and posting user generated content. Internet forums are also commonly referred to as web forums, message boards, discussion boards, (electronic) discussion groups, discussion forums, bulletin boards, fora (the Latin plural) or simply forums. The terms "forum" and "board" may refer to the entire community or to a specific sub-forum dealing with a distinct topic. Messages within these sub-forums are then displayed either in chronological order or as threaded discussions.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum

And by saying that it's harsh/cruel, you are inflecting your own opinion on what the words connotate, which is inherently flawed when you are making your argument. Therefore by stating that, you are rendering a weak argument which is in conflict with the actuality of the purpose of that thing- and that is to be judged based on looks alone.

[Keeper1343]

am i flawed when i say that ur a A$$??? I am sure the mods would agree that the purpose of this website is to have a good conversation about the hobby that we all love and enjoy, and not to put down people for something they love doing to their car.

[ozthunder]

No, I can be an ass. But the car was presented for judging; you said it yourself. It's a show car. He did that to be judged. So then everyone must like what he's done? Really? Sorry, that makes no sense.

And I do not see how I have been uncivilized at all. I'm sure he loves it, I don't. There's the difference. I never said he needed to end his life, in fact, I don't even recall publicly tearing him to shreds. I may think its somewhat redundant (due to fwd-ness), but that's a logical obvservation. To my eyes, it is ugly. But in someone's eyes, especially his, it's not. All the power to him.

That however does not change my opinion, and good conversation allows for judgments to be made and for analysis and arguments to be made regardless of said things. How that has been violated by me personally...well that's beyond me. Care to elaborate?

[Keeper1343]

your right... you have not ridiculed (hope thats spelled right) him. But i thought you were defending the people who have. But good debate never the less.

[ozthunder]

No, I was just defending the difference between judgment/criticism and disrespect/improper manners, that's all.

[Chair-Force]

and once again you don't understand. Voice a opinion but not a cruel one. Like your mama always said. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all. Its that simple. First ammendment rights have nothing to do with basic manners.

What world do you live in?

[Keeper1343]

What world do you live in?

Whats the purpose of this website? Is it to have a good convo with someone about cars or is it to be a d-bag and make fun of other people???

[whitezenki]

I like to be a d-bag and make fun of stupid people personally

[Keeper1343]

haha. I like being an Assh*le but in a comedic way.

[Kiel]

All he has to do is mount a small block and replace the rear and it is all fuctional. Maybe thats coming next.

All I have to do is mount a quad-turbo W16 and replace the entire drivetrain and I'll have 1001 hp. Maybe that's coming next.




:rock:

[Kiel]

haha. I like being an Assh*le but in a comedic way.

Where's the comedy then?

[Keeper1343]

not in this thread obviously.

[evomike]

Wow I didn't look at this untill now, that car is awful and btw you keep saying he spent a lot of money, how do you know there is a lot of money in that car, its probably just a bunc of **** parts that some hack shop put together and did a piss poor job, I really need to see this thing in person.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

it doesnt matter this car is teh suck.... keeper loves rice more then asian families

Sure, that is the purpose of that site. And this guy gives all of us who are into the hobby of having nice cars a very bad name. Even my dad laughed at this car! lol

Excuse me while I suck on my chocolate lollipop singing childrens songs merrily whilst skipping down a yellow brick road. What world do you come from where people are nice and everyone's opinion matters?

Not bashing that car is a crime against humanity. Yeesh.

[specdrft]

I talked to this guy at dairy queen a while back, he swore up and down it was rwd and wouldn't pop the hood. When I asked him where the rear was he got pissy and said what the hell was i trying to get at lol-
