From the moment of purchase to this day - Toyota Celica, 1.8 liter, 2000
Since in St. Petersburg at that time a fairly large number of Selicks were offered to choose from, but my mind was stopped by the machine in full stock and with a contract engine (engine mileage was 60 thousand).
I agreed with the owner and we went to Palladin.
Sergey and his team diagnosed the car, revealed some minor points, but in general they said that the car was in good condition.
I left a deposit for the car and a couple of days later he himself was the owner of this Selick!
After the purchase were immediately changed all the fluids and so on.
I was very surprised that the salaries for the Selick are not very expensive, although I read about it on the forums, but I believed in it only when I began to order))
Summer I skated without any problems. for 3 months, not a single complaint about the car! I was happy =)
controlled Selick just crazy! this is beyond words, I was in love with her!
the fact that she is 143 strong, and even the machine gun, has never really bothered me. it’s not so stressful to stand in traffic jams, and the tax is about 5 thousand a year! Of course sometimes there is not enough power, but it does not matter!
since the purchase was installed 2dinovaya Pioneer radio, amplifier and subwoofer. while this is enough for me, but by the summer I feel that I will continue to put the sound in the car!
original new headlights were also bought, due to the fact that I was not satisfied with how the old ones shine + I stuck xenon in the foglights (looks beautiful)))
one August evening my friend came up with the idea to cover his 2nd goal in a matte film, which we did in a couple of days. And then I thought, why not make my swallow matte.
A matte film was purchased and work began ... the
hood was glued successfully, then there was a roof, the rear fenders and the driver's door also went well, but the moment of problematic elements came: both wings were wrinkled, and the front bumper was very badly beaten ...
2 weeks passed ... I wiped my hands up to my ears, and my father was already bothered that I had a dump in boxing spread … in short, I broke loose and gave my favorite to painting! Decided to paint in the native color, black with a low tint. I waited for her for about a month, as they painted it all. And now the long-awaited moment! I saw her ... she was not just like new, she was NEW =)
the car just burned in the sun and constantly shimmered ... people always asked me if your car is blue or black, because if you look at it from different angles, it constantly changes color.
literally in December, the 2nd MOT was passed
, it came to me somewhere in 3 thousand rubles!
now the car is in the box, because in mid-December, due to ice and the inability to control the front-wheel drive (before that, I drove only in the rear in winter), I flew into the curb, because of which the lever was bent. The salaries are already on the way, or rather they should have been in place already on January 11, but in our country no one wants to work after the holidays and therefore I still don’t have my leverage =/
that's all for now. by the spring I will update my bortovik, as I plan to do a little tuning baby!
