New addition to the family

Celica is a new addition and it allows me to take the FTO off the road for a wee while to get the bodywork all tidied up again and fit some new shells to the bottom of the engine, etc.

i used to think they were cool but never liked the gearbox when i test drove one,
but i dont like 6 speeds anyway, 1/2 the reason why i stuck with the lancer.

Not used to a manual box at the moment so there does appear to be an awful lot of gears but I reckon I'll get used to it - or kill the clutch trying :lol:

Love my 6 speed. It's awesome. Prefer it over the 5spd from the FTO anyday.

Agreed. Drove that celica before and the gearbox feels much better, shift throw is shorter too.
