Ive been thinking of selling my 93 teg for a celica gts 2000. Just wanted somthing newer and a stick mine is auto . I love my teg it has a b20 and is very clean everyone loves my car cause it is so clean and nice for a older car. What if any suggestions do you guys got. I drive it everyday to. around 2 grand is what i need for the celica and around 1grand to make it a stick. Iam torn on what to do. thanks.
is that a joke? the newer celica’s are garbage. id convert the teg to manual.
Hell NO! I drove one of those GT-S shitboxes, wasn’t impressed.
The Celica GT-S is a nice car. I used to own a Celica, although it was GT. Nice car and fun to drive. Good handling, light weight, good brakes.
I wouldn’t sell my DA to buy one though, DAs are hard to find in good shape these days.
I would definitely move up from an auto DA to a 6-speed Celica GT-S. No comparison.
If I were you I would do it if you want a newer car, manual and for peace of mind if you get pulled over with the B20. Sounds like that is where you are already leaning. For the gt-s model, I wouldn’t even hesitate.
I would get the celica man. They are really fun 2 drive and the handling is great. I’m not sure the auto to manual would be worth it 
BOOO ! I’d do it if I wasn’t such a DA lover, my experiences with these machines are the greatest so I personally couldn’t sell my teg to get a celica.
If your integra was manual and in good condition i’d keep it. But since its auto I would take the Celica if it were also in good condition. My buddy has a celica and for some reason the ladies love it? Now i have a 93 white DB2 that is stock and it rarely gets any compliments from guys or girls. Its all about you want. Want it for looks? I guess a Celica will do it.
hell no. I had a teg with a b20. waaay better than a celica. I’d equate a celica with getting a gen3. wouldn’t do it.
There’s got to be a better choice then a celica, if not i wouldn’t do it.

lightweight? dont they weight about 3500 pounds? personally i wouldnt do it. if you like the DA then you would be better off investing some money into it and keeping it. i got rid of my first DA and regretted it for 5 years until i got my current DA. in those 5 years i had a lot of cars that were a lot “nicer” and newer but they never could compare.
no
g2ic has spoken, keep the teg lol
thats because Celica’s are for girls!
LOL… ok anyways, WHY YOU GUYS TALKING SHIT ABOUT THE CELICA??? LIKE YOU GUYS OWNED ONE???
I OWN**(AT THE MOMENT STILL HAVE IT)** A 2000 CELICA GTS. IT HAS TRD CATBACK, INJEN COLD AIR INTAKE, PORTED HEADERS, B&M SHORT SHIFTER. TUNED ON safc2 AND THAT SHIT BE KILLING MOSTLY ALL GSR’S AND SI’s OUT THERE. (unless they are boosted) which if i boost my GTS will be a different story!
IF YOU GUYS RESEARCHED… THE CELICA gts( 2zzge) the same motor in the lotus elise and the MR2!! WAS THE REASON THE rsx-s (K20) WAS MADE BECASUE THE GTS WAS DESTROYING ALL OTHER HONDA MOTORS. and my 6 speed tranny shift and feels perfect! just second gear is a lil long! but with power thats great thing. the vvtl-i kicks in harder on the celica than the honda vtec.
i also own a 96 EK AND a 1990 DA. BOTH CARS are awesome. but if we are talking about stock performance the celica GTS will destroy any DA stock. even the GSR. I TALK FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE SINCE I OWN BOTH CARS. im not picking sides but i just dont like the fact half of you guys out there talking shit about something you guys dont know about.
and NO I WOULD NOT SELL MY DA TO BUY A CELICA. ILL JUST KEEP THE DA AND ALSO WOULD BUY A CELICA lol… DA’S ARE CHEAP TO BUY, CELICAS RUN ON A HIGHER MARKET. SPECIALLY A GTS.
and any celica GTS would destroy a b20 bro.! i eat b20 for breakfast with my gts…
you can even beat a b20 with single cams! b20 are not that good!! if you talk h22 and k motors thats a different story
3500? According to the factory service manual, it’s 2580.
namekteg, keep the Integra and swap the auto transmission for a manual.
this is true.
i dunno. i had the gt-s before. full rod millen kit. they’re pretty quick. the vvti feels nice. gotta get used to the blind spots though. the seats sit you very low, while the dash/windows are high. not like a da where the dash is very low.
obv ppl on a site dedicated g2i’s are gonna sway that way.
celicas can be nice. but, i dunno. i tend to like anything with seats, 4 wheels and a motor
The ONLY celica i’d ever buy is the GT-Four. Turbo charged and 4wd… i’d drive that any day over a G2
