Listen all. I can't stand little high school kids that think they're tough in Hondas. I don't feel that it is right that Toyota goes mostly unrepresented in the street racing of my town. Sure there are Supras, but just supras. Which leads me to my question. How do i get my stock 97 GT celica under 12 seconds? New engine, sure, but where. New suspension and rims, how much? Listen i would love a 3s-GTE, but is it worth it if a all track conversion is not feasible? Peace all. I got to take out some youngens. ID

THE ONLY WAY to have the fastest GT would be to swap in a 3s-gte, the newer the better. The car could actually go faster because of the non AWD setup.
Or you could put ungodly amounts of money into a 5S-FE.... |

You can turbo your 5sfe but thats not going to get you into the 12s. You would have to drop in the 3sgte and still upgrade that to get in the 12s. Or you could buy an SRT-4 like previously said.

I'd say about 15k in engine mods woudl get you 12's, but then you would need rims and tires that could handle it... and a beefed up tranny,,, and custom draveshafts... shall I continue?

Get nos and a shotgun. race them and when you are behind, shoot out their tires and then proceed to hitting your nos. Your engine may blow up but you still win

You know in Tennessee, they were cleaning out old laws last year and found one that declared "No woman shall drive a car alone, without her husband in the passenger seat with a shotgun." something to that effect...so you guys are just copy cats!

I've heard of a few people that run high 13's on relatively stock 3s's. They could be bullshi....uhhh..bullcrapping though...but go check out celica.net and see for yourself

I don't think they do. You better plan on pushing near 300whp to hit 12's. The numbers climb exponentially after the 13-14 second barrier. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

more than 300 I would think. Fensport's AE102 is putting down 327 bhp and runs a 13.02 quarter mile.

300 whp should drop you in the low 13's high 12's assuming you can launch the sucker (FWD). Mind you... the more power you make... the more power you lose through the drivetrain. It's a % loss... and not really a set number... so fensport's 327 bhp car could only be laying down 260-270 some odd whp... ;] however... a lot of variables are at play... so who really knows...

20% drivetrain loss? That would mean my engine was doing 280 hp last time it was dyno'd (227 @ the wheels). Not sure about that. Last time I dyno'd it, it was stock boost with FMIC and standalone system. That doesn't add 50hp... at least, I don't think. haha  would be nice tho.- aba This post has been edited by abatardi: Mar 23, 2004 - 3:11 AM |

Tell the guys in your town to stop being pussy's and kick his ass on a curvy road.
Don't Forget Straight lines are for fast cars, Curvy roads are for fast drivers

Isn't this guy trying to race Civics or something? And Civics with high school drivers at that.
You don't need 12 seconds man, if you are losing to these guys right now, you need a driving lesson. - aba |
