if she hasnt done her general maintenance that y her shit is slow.... she needs her tune ups- maybe new headers ( which arent that much trust me ), her exhaust system, she needs to change all her fluids- flush out the old shit- i have had 4 celicas- i am not dissapoinbted unless i try to race my husbands supra-lol, but all in all i take care of y car its a 94... runs like a fucking champ- i have 250k miles- i believe that car had probably been dogged out ( thats y they say most females no nothing about cars - cuz they cant fix their shit or keep up on it which results in blown motors, heads, etc... she needs to re-evaluate if she wants to be a real chick or a ricer chick and keep up on her shit or just do the car the favor and sell it.. to someone who will take care of it....
