Geo Prizm, a rebadged Corolla with the 1.6 4AFE.
Hey, my Celica ST has that engine. Damn reliable and cheap to fix, but changing the oil filter is a pain in the butt and it requires.... patience... with the amount of power it makes.

Here's my two, Celi in the back ground. The Equinox finally gives me the ability to merge with traffic and not fret about holding anyone up.
 
Just picked this bad boy up for $400AUD. "Project Optical Illusion"

First to go were the Mitsubishi wheel covers. Then, the front & rear mudflaps.
Clear coat in the bonnet is peeling
I'll be cleaning that up. Might paint it and the roof matte black.
The interior is pretty clean and leak free.
There is some weeping from the rocker cover.
The suspension is soft. No doubt it will be freshened up. I'll keep the wheel diameter at 13". May go 7" or 8" wide on a nice vintage Gotti wheel.
For now, the steering wheel will be switched to a 2-spoke leather wheel.
I may have to make a thread. :)

Hey cool, didn't know there was others on here with Celicas, any more photos of it? I have a 1990 GT-S with the 2.2. But on the Prizm I thought the filter was quite easy to get at.. :P

Here's the Celica

Since the car's been lowered, it's spent more time back on the stock wheels than on the BBS reps that it was wearing when it got lowered in the first place. smh

What type of suspension are you using? By the way, I like that you didn't slam it, too many people have been doing that lately and it just ruins great cars in my opinion.

I'm using B&G S2 springs and Bilstein HD shocks.

Those wheels are pretty nice on the car. I wish they put those on the 3 series.
 
@RocZX
Go ahead and reverse search on google.

Am I missing something here?

Also, this happened. What turned out to be a little "noise" made me cringe so hard when I went nose first into the driveway. Got all tensed up... ugh, not a fun feeling.

Aaand just my luck, I have no jack. Well, I have that puny thing in the trunk lid but it's not going to get the job done..*and people say Germans have no sense of humour..*

I gotta wait for my cousin to bring his heavy duty jack.



EDIT


Fixed. Found the trusty jack under some equipment. Finished the job quickly. The mechanic that changed my oil didn't screw the sheild in properly. Didn't screw in any segment of the shield properly. Had to run down the entire car.

Also found out I have a full reserve tire.

And so my dad has joined the Lexus crowd.

88k miles, won't tell me the price of it (dunno why).

Don't have any more pictures for it since my dad is on a business trip.

wtf kind of photo is that

But congrats on having an LS430 in your life!!! 👍👍👍

@Doog

You have a new Lexus bro (kinda).

88k miles, pre-face lifted one too. And in Texas? Probably $12-14k... maybe $11k.

Still waiting for you to join that pool for real. :boggled:

$11k is a little rich for 88k miles though... or maybe that's just because I wouldn't want to pay that. $10k at the most would be an expected price for that car.
