Nick could have done this in his Celica

Oh what fun I had, main reason I sold my car, Nj police ain't got nothing on me now. Its always funny when old people mistake a bunch of Celicas for Lambo's and Ferrari's

Nick? Good camp fire stories for Saturday night?

I'd whoop your ass across country though. I think my Honda can do 90 mph but I wouldn't have as many fuel stops.

And Celica? not Supra?

I could have done it when I had my S4, S6 or S2...

Eventually I'll be able to buy one of these and be able to do stupid shit like on the video.

It was a baby supra, 1.8 liter turbo'd monster lol. And really it still got 30+mpg

Fun part of that car was I never seen another one close to me with a turbo and it weighted in at 2400 pounds, super light

Were you a drifting fag? Sounds like the car was built for it - light, lots o hp and rwd...

My baby is all gone now kinda sad about it.

Nope I don't drift or race, just turbo'd to merge into traffic, I live in MD, drivers are almost as bad a NJ drivers. Plus the Celica was fwd and I just mostly showed the car. Got invited to the convention center in Baltimore one yr, car elevators are cool now I know why Mitt Romney has one.

ah, i was thinking old school Celica with rwd (right?)

Where are you in Hazard County? I have a close friend in Bel Air. Well, in the country side near Bel Air...

Yeah...very nice car. But alas, life happens. There are more important things than silicon hoses and inter-coolers. I learned that. I will have a fast/cool car again someday. Right now it's the kids so my toy is a Disco with a total investment of about $3k (yes, I know it shows).

I had three different turbo's Audi's, an E36 M3 and several Ducati's. Now I have a '99 civic. F-me...

i had a honda civic hatchback vintage 85. carpets instead of floor boards. 300k miles till i missed a shift and a piston shot thru the hood.

Yep, can't beat'em. My buddy has 323 on his 1991 and it is still getting 45mpg plus...

I'd love to get a 91 Audi Quattro and convert it to a S1 E2 spec with the body kit.

The old school turbo celica were awd. There may have been rwd but I believe thats real old school. Cars are ok Im just over them right now. I can't fit me the wife and two young boys in a 2+2. Having only 4 seats suck! I've owned tons of cars, civic, conquest, awd Talons, christ even a Lincoln LS to make the list short. I have more fun just crusing in my gas hog.

Kase Im about 15-20 mins from the center of Bel Air.

Yeah! How to get an 1991 A1 body in the U.S. though? My ersatz//S2 was a great car but needed more upgrades than I had money. It is now racing out in the mid-west somewhere. It had the non-dizzy AAN engine with a mild chip. Much heavier than an A1 though...

Bringing it in wouldn't be a problem as it is over 20 years old. Finding a salvageable one and money are the only things holding me up right now.

Right! It IS 20 years old! I had some good connections in Germany. I brought over a bunch of S2 and RS2 stuff - once upon a time.

My Cousin lives in Switzerland about 10 minutes from the German and I am going to visit him this summer, I think I might poke around and see how much they go for.

There is a guy in Switzerland that is near the German border and specializes in Audi's and Audi parts - good Audi parts. Tots is his name I think.

Ah ok, he is in Rorschach which is about 2 hours drive from where I'll be so it is closer to Zurich.
