Just seeing if I can get any bites. Bought the car 2 years ago, the other guy did the engine swap (I guess it used to have a turbo on the GT and hydrolocked? whatever) and couldn't get it to run right, until I got a hold of it. I just need something more practical now. I've been driving this as a daily driver. Here's some of the info:

2000 Toyota Celica GT swap to GTS
- 2ZZ-GE
- C60 6-spd manual
- Red
- 17" Rims
- Tein Lowering Springs
- Borla exhaust
- Hi-flow cat just installed
- Just had headliner redone
- Camera-mount bar installed in back
- Just replaced 6th gear (gear, sleeve, syncro)
- New tranny speedo sensor
- About 80k on body, 20k on engine

Anyway, I'm done working on cars, got sick of wrenching and I went back to school in Buffalo, NY. I'll fix them when I have to. The body is a little rough, needs a new front bumper cover. CEL currently on with O2 codes. Lowered cars with 17 inch wheels don't do too well in Buffalo snow, so I'm just gonna get some auto 4 cylinder POS to get me through a couple years of school. If anyone's actually interested, I'll put more info and some pics up. Good car for one of you punk-ass kids who needs a "hot ride" to bone the neighborhood ho, or whatever it is teenagers do now.

I'm in Buffalo, NY, but I go back down to my hometown of hyde park one weekend a month (not NEW hyde park by queens, this is the hyde park by poughkeepsie.) It's about an hour north of the bronx, or it takes me 1:15-1:30 to get to long island, since most of you punks live in NYC I'm guessing. I'll be going down again on thanksgiving weekend. No, I won't drive to nyc to meet you, the farthest I'm going is my old auto shop in poughkeepsie. And if anyone is thinking about pitching me $2500, I'm not biting, I can't replace this car for $2500.

And by "later today" I mean "a week from now." Sorry, here they are. My other computer has interior pictures. I got a closer shot of the front bumper cover to show the damage, and the hood also has a weird dent in it. I do have another hood for it in the same color, but the edge of it is bent (easy fix by an auto shop).
