Arent we (b14 SE-R owners) lucky? Me and my friend tried to look for a b14 chassi SE-R for about 5 months already in my area. Believe me we cant find any. He used to be a Honda enthusiast until i got him hooked with SR20s. He sold his Civic to buy an SE-R, but last week i received a call from him that he gave up.. and he ended up buying the new SE-R (not Spec V). It was not a bad choice but he still wishes that he could have gotten a B14 :)

We ARE extremely lucky to have b14 se-r's. I know of only maybe 4 within a 50 mile radius of my house. Granted, I don't know everyone in my city, but still its rare. Now the SE...that's another story. Those are lost to the rice plague already. About the se-r search though, you can always find one on ebay. There is usually ALWAYS one on there for cheap. There was even one for sale that had the Fmax stage two in there, and I think it sold for $6000. Thats only a couple thousand over the cost of the TURBO. wow.

I bought mine in Melbourne, at Kelley Ford, where my grandpa works. Even though there was this gorgeous 98 celica across the street at Toyota, I still picked this car. While the celica looks better, this car definately performs better, and thats what matters!!! You live in Tavares Nismotic? We should get together sometime. Are you going to the dyno day on august 10th in orlando?

I have the "rare" 98 SE-R :rolleyes: ... It was just sitting there on the used section of the Nissan Dealership in Marietta, GA just waiting for me. I think I was meant to have my car... The 98s are the rarest I believe (or they were a rare "SALE" for Nissan...)

And it was a good choice!! How many 3-400 hp turbo celicas (especially on stock internals) do you know of?? Not too many...

I do think that generation celica is gorgeous. That is my opinion. I'm not asking you to like it. It is very true about the speed thing though....I never see a "fast" celica...besides the GTS. 300hp? Definately not.
