Who has owned a Hyundai coupe or a Toyota Celica before moving onto a zed?

[AMT]

I don't even have to mention what I had to most on here, but for those who don't lol... 2.0 SE Coupe (06'). My mate still has his 2004 Celica T-Sport. Coupe was definatly the more refined cruiser of the two but I wanted the celicas better pace. Consider the Zed a best of both...GT abilities with pace lol

I had a Celica T-Sport for 3 years.

I had a red Hyundai Coupe 2.0 SE. Put the V6 wheels on it though as the originals were awful

[The Trouser]

Two MR2 Mk2 before the Zed

I had a mk1 MR2 for 8.5 years until last august when I swapped it for a Gen7 Celica as my work run about.

I had a nice Hyundai Coupe / Tuscani / Tiburon...

 

It's a shame they didn't have more power and were rwd otherwise they'd be an even more awesome purchase! The amount of people who wouldn't believe me when I told them it was a Hyundai was laughable!

I think the early T-sport celicas had head gasket issues later ones didn't but that's something I heard, not sure how much truth is in it. I've currently got a Celica GT4. had it for 8 years and it's never missed a beat. Great cars that are a bit of an unsung hero.

Early 1zz-fe 140bhp engines used between 1999-2002 had a design flaw with the oil control rings and oil feed, they would stick and overheat, it didn't affect the 190 engines and was fixed on the facelift cars. I've not heard of many head gasket failures on the Celica's, the K series in my Elise is another story all together.

Good not actually answering the question skills here ..........

Yaris SR then Yaris T Sport

Celica 190 then Celica T Sport

350Z then 370Z

 

I see a trend forming!

I had a celica about 7 years ago.

 

I have a celica now also. I bought it as a temporary car while I was looking for my 350.

Hey man, my previous car was a 2005 hyundai coupe 2.7lt it was fully modified gorgeous car, but I must say the zed is far better

[Fayelady_z]

I really like that mate! Looks pretty smart, and different too

[stuarty]

This was my Coupe

[370Ad]

The Celica is probably the best value for money car I have ever owned too

 

Brought it for £3700 then sold for £5000 after a £200 clutch change

I had 2 x GT4's about 6 years ago. Great car on the road, crap on track. Had five Toyota Supras mixed in with the GT4's, they were all fantastic. Grew out of Supras so got the 350Z.

I had a highly modified , highly tuned, then highly broken Hyundai Gen2.

Destoryed by a ''tuning shop'' that then went down the road of trying to take me to court for not paying them.... long story. but i've since found out the same garage messed up some skylines, S14 and now breaks Audis for a living. Been taking to court a few times... that bad !!

 

Was my pride n joy for a couple of years though.

 

Shortly afterwards I got a Gen7 190 GT celica. loved it to drive, but i had problems with mine. engine was sound, but other things kept braking - such as the speedo, gearbox, heater matrix (twice!) and window issues. Didnt get chance to do much tuning.

 

I agree though, all 3 (inc Z) are fairly similar in designs. if you like the 'entry levels' you will like the Z

Yep. im a big dog fan, and have had many different kinds of pets in the family home. but never had we had an animal with a personalty that this little fellow had. so tame and trained. Curled up in a ball and would sleep on your shoulder while you walked around, would bubble and squeak when you tickled him under the chin, and would run over to you if he heard the fridge open.

but thats another thread.... lol.
