I'm not sure, maybe its just short for Toyoda, which is how most people pronounce it.

Yeah but dont see any reference to the word Yoda in there

Its because the founder of toyota's last name is Toyoda.

Anyone know where you could get one of those blue logos to replace the celicas red one?

the Dragon emblem? get one off the first generation celicas. they are rather big conpaired to the ones on our 3rd gens.

So you couldn't swap out easily huh?

Bridge · « **Reply #9 on:** Sep 15, 2003, 01:09:36 am »

are yout alking about swapping it onto the grille? it might look cool on the hatch in place of the GT/GTS emblem.. or on the side of the car like the are on the 1st gen... or someplace cool in the interior.

I was thinking about the grille but now that you mention it it might look better elsewhere.

Ithink it would look good painted on my hood (which is white)

It would be cool to have black versions of the celica dragon in the middle of the stock wheels.... or maybe in the middle of the steering wheel. ive been thinking about going to a junkyard and trying to find a GTS badge from an 84/85 and putting it on may car. does anyone know how the badges are attached to the hatch on our cars?

Edit: My friend calls em Yotas cuz hes lazy... i think toyota sounds much better than yota or yoda...

Those that I have seen were glued on, but could be wrong

Teranfirbt · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 15, 2003, 03:22:03 am »

Alright, perfect lol. im also thinking, if i can find enough GTSs lol of getting a pair and putting them on the side, right behind the front fender above the midline molded thing.
