:AF: :eek: :AF: You have a buyer (if I had the funds) :chuckles:

[CloNeGTS]

Why the sale? Does this mean no more parts/development?

[Da Kine Guy]

dude, whoever is in the market for an '02 right now, SCRAP IT AND GET THE HOTCHKIS!!

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

Ohhh god... wish I wasnt sooo poor..... :(

[jotan82]

dang, that is a deal...

too bad for celica owners, no more devlopment from hotchikis

[HilfigerCelica]

So this means no more new parts from Hotchkis right?

[LovinDaCamSwitch]

To me it looks like they want to work on the turbo celica instead. It funny, RMM selling their celica and now Hotchkis selling one too.

Welps...I think they've reached their goal as far as suspension tuning goes.

Hell..you could improve it probably..but man...what they're offering in their total vehicle package is enough for any man, I think..heh.

I can't wait to get the dough for that kit...it's definetly my next mod..and then an LSD. I get chills thinking about it!

[Brett]

Wow, an awsome car for a great price! Anyone who buys this is one lucky bastard!

[GT-Skid]

They should put that on ebay!

[Keyshawn]

J.C.,
Any update on Hotchkis' SUPERCHARGED Celi? When will that car be ready to see some track time? Also, any news on whether the Magnuson Supercharger that you guys are using will be offered to the public? Any info would be much appreciated, man. Thanks!

[racinjason]

They still have thier red S/Ced race Celica to use.

[J.C.]

What's up fellas....!! The car has done all it has needed to as far as suspension upgrades to a stock to aftermarket parted Celica...
Our TVS kit is cool because you can just get one peice or all of them..... Our new "race car with the super charger" will take on the new role to develop any parts off of now.... I personally think it will work better because the race car is strictly set up for racing and the white car is still a street car.... Imagine that ..! I've already had some phone calls showing interest.... The White Hotchkis Celica has been serviced, maintained and gone through after each and every event is was ran in.... The car is virtually in the same condition the day it was purchased.....!!!!

[Purrin]

When is it going for sell? I was going to buy an 03 GTS withing the next month or 2 (or a used 01 if 03 takes too long. Sick of my auto GT..I miss having a stick). But if I can get this I'd jump and dance like a little girl.

If its going for sell around aug/sept, I seriously will buy it if I get the chance.

<--- serious offer!!!! Gimme info!!!! please :)

[ArchangelX]

I think they're probably looking for full payment though...wouldn't they?

I mean..no financing involved..that sorta thing?

Is it cash only, J.C.?

Oh..and I'll be looking into giving you guys a call about the Total Vehicle package here pretty soon, but I've got a question?

Can any shop install this (I know any can but is it covered under warranty) or just one of your authorized dealers?

Thanks a bunch!

[Purrin]

I planed on paying full cash..unless they do finance or something but i figured they didn't. Just not till Sept or MAYBE Aug.

but if they do financing, hell I'll buy it today;) already got a 5k downpayment in the bank! (was waiting for 03 GTS)

[2002GT_Celica]

Talk about a performance bargain, sure it is an 02, but the mods more than make up for it. The only problem is it isn't street legal.

[ArchangelX]

Er...how isn't it street legal?

I mean how in hell is anyone gonna know the difference. I can't even tell!!

How come SCC said that your acceleration times were hampered by the 2002 model's lower rev-limit? Did they goof up?

New '02 motor and ECU....makes me wonder, did John hotchkis blew up the first motor?

[X-EVIL-X]

i thought it they said it wasn't legal when they were using those race tires...
they're including the normal parada's in the deal so i think it would be fine:)

[po9i]

isn't this car the one that is faster than an EVO and gets praises from SCC...if i had money i would buy it

[chico]

Too bad, probably some young punk will get it, and crash it.

I wonder how well the Hotchkis Celi would perform with regular street tires.

[gts24]

Ok, I guess I'm a little concerned ? Why sell the car at this point? What does it gain.

I like the idea of having a Stock full interior Hotchkis Celica representing for a lot more time to come.

the "race" Celica should just be a counter part to the white one.

:( :wtc: :wtc: :wtc:

[gts24]

In any case, J.C.

Do you guys happen to have any need for a left nut?

Because I'd be willing to part with mine for this car...... :gap:

[J.C.]

Yes, the cars is a 2000' GTS.... I guess SCC made a boo boo...!
The car is available for SALE now if someone is REALLY interested... The price will be at $25k... Like I said, the car has 10,000 miles and is brand new from wherever you look at it... It's been under lock and key from day one in our shop.... So theres no paint fade or sun exposure what so ever... The deal will be for cash or if you finance it through your bank.... John Hotchkis is looking to give one lucky person a "deal of a lifetime"..... And no we are not abandoning the Celica project at all... If anything we are digging deeper in to the Racing aspect of the car... From what I've heard, the "Red Race Celica" will be here by next or the following week with the ENGINE RUNNING...!!!! CANT WAIT...!!! :thumbup:

[Rocket]

J.C.

i'm guessing this is a stupid question but you guys woudln't be willing to part with anything on the car would u? i'd be interested in the molly kit and wing if u guys want to part out the car!!!

[J.C.]

Sorry Rocket.....! The car has to be sold in whole as is.... Besides the Car would cost a bunch more if we parted it out....!!! We calculated the car is worth $36 to 37$ with all the parts that are in there plus the vehicles condition with the low mileage it has .... So the advantage once again go's to you guys...!!:thumbup:

[Purrin]

well fug if you're selling it now! Thought ya said in a couple months. I'd be ALL over it in semptember :(

[X-EVIL-X]

i want to see what the supercharged gts will do.
if it handles as well as the white car plus has 250 wheel hp the car would be insane.
are they going to sell the supercharger from your red gts to the public?
any info on that.
i would just on this deal if i didn't have my car:)

[J.C.]

John Hotchkis will sell the car now if there is SERIOUS TAKER...!
We were waiting to see if the car was needed for any other Magazine articles or a call back to the Fast and the Furious II casting call..... But like I said, if someone is SERIOUS now, John will let it go......!!!

[Purrin]

Well I am a "SERIOUS TAKER" it's just I have to wait till Sept to be safe. If he finds another buyer I totally understand.

Just incase I get some lucky break and come up with the money sooner (win the lotto etc), is there a number or email address I can contact?

You can email me at crzygechie@yahoo.com

[MSR27]

The Advan Model 6's are actually 17X8.

[LEDmod]

Well.. I bought my Celica cash....
Oh man.. I would have bought that cash right now.... now I'm stuck with wide gate and freaking rev limiter....
I love that Celica.. it's one of my favorite Celica......
Man........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[R K e 1 C A]

No regrets on what you already have, just think about people who don

[J.C.]

Yeah Purrin, if you're "SERIOUS" come in and talk to myself and John Hotchkis.... Let him know if you are really wanting the car.... I'm sure he can do something... And guys, anyone in my area (So.Cal), don't hesitate to stop by and I'll give you the tour of our facilities and show you our Celica up close....(and maybe the Red Supercharged Celica if it's here...) Thanx....

[MuleDoe]

will anyone be willing to lend me 25k???? :)

If you own your Celica free and clear, you should just sell it and get the hotchkis. Like you said, you wouldn't have the crappy rev limiter, or wide gates with the other Celica. And if thats not enough, you would get the full hotchkis suspention, the aftermarket seats, custom gauges/interior, Centerforce clutch, Quafe LSD, TRD exhuast, Molly body kit, Stop Tech brake kit, 18" Advan wheels, ect.

He said that it was going to be sold in a couple of months, plenty of time to sell your current 2002, with the money you would get back out of it, you would pratically break even and own the Hothckis Celica free and clear also. Not many people on this board are in the same position as you where they actually own their car, they are making bank payments like I am. Really, if you own the one you have now, what is stopping you from getting this one?
