89 celica (3sge)- bought it 12 years ago with 180,000km - Now it has 450,000kms.
current reco motor has 150,000kms
current reco gearbox has 60,000kms
No AC - got re-gassed and keeps leaking.
dodgy rust repairs - grind it back and spray paint - just to pass rego.
leaking power steering fluid for 8 years. top up every 3-4 weeks.
leaking engine oil for 4 years - half a litre every month
2nd gear popping out all the time.
doesnt start everyday. some days i have to clutch start it.

nearly every part has been changed at least once.

I hate to say it, but the car is still heaps of fun to drive. as much as i hate it, i cant deny how much i love it.

i have been dieing for the 86 to come out for the last few years. Kept putting off buying a twin turbo RZ supra, in hope the 86 would come out and after a few years of waiting, i can finally get it in the next 2 months (hopefully) Dont even have a price for it yet in Australia. !!!!


Toyota said they will give me $500 for trade in...
I said i rather give it to toyota for free if you they crush it into a cube in front of me.
