take his ass to the auto x track with the 19s he has hell be slow in and out of the corners and the GSX is a heavy bitch. your advantage will be the celicas wieght and low end torque if you take it to the auto x track:)

red sun is right tho celicas are very good as far as suspension/handling on turns and the low end torque you could probably take him in the autox, but depends on the drivers too

Yes they did. Back in HS, my friend had a 95 GSX, and guess who won when we both raced? Of course he did. I got my a$$ handed to me.

GSX > ST ... BIGTIME!

Ya for sure, Im sorry but you guys gotta stop kidding yourselves, a 100hp st isnt going to beat anything!! I really doubt its suspension is any more tuned then other cars in its class and against a car with twice the power and AWD your just dreaming. He could start off in 3rd and still hand you your ass, sorry wink.gif

Also 19s will increase top speed so once hes got momentum he'll hand you your ass again.

Its hidden because the engine is "backwards." In the Celicas, WHAM right in front of u.

The turbo should be on the passenger side connected to the turbo manifold. Basically, if you're looking at the heatshield straight up, it'll be on the left side. The turbo manifold is what people will often call the turbo header.

Here's a pic of my car. His should be on the opposite side under a hose or something:

I thought the MR2's had the engine just flipped around. So that it would be in the back left corner.

After thinking for more than 2 seconds...that would mean the exhaust would be in a different spot and stuff. It has to be in the front right. I got mixed up.

OH NM!! You're talking about an MR2... lol. Ok, if you're standing behind an MR2, yes, the motor will appear backwards. I thought we were talking about the GSX. My bad.

Well, check to make sure, cause you don't wanna get hustled.

And a GS can take an ST as well. An RS might be good competition for you.

I raced another friend who had a GS and SHE beat me. We used to go to the tracks together. But if you're rolling on 14's and your friend is on heavy 19's, you MAY have a chance... if it is in fact a GS.

Bigger wheels cover more ground while gears are moving slower than usual...more room to move up.

I don't think that's true. Bigger and heavier wheels will actually slow you down.

If they are heavier it will take more energy to get a 19" rim to a certain speed as opposed to a 17" rim, but per rotation your covering more ground with a 19" rim assuming the total diameter including the rubber is larger. So a gsx with 19"s will come out faster in each gear compared to a gsx with say 16"s, but obviously the car with the smaller rims will accelerate quicker.

Not to check if he has turbo, but to see if it's really a gsx...you could have him do a burnout and see if all 4 wheels are burning up?

And couldn't u hear when he was driving if the turbo was spooling or not?

And I've taken a few 1st gen eclipse gst's in my celi...and hand any dsm their ass in my rex.

Just plain and simple. USDM celis are slow and any racing is pointless. Mitsus are generally faster engines (although all other things are crap)
Just race him for the fun of it.

The only good thing i know about mitsus are their Turbo. It is supposed to be very well made. As i understand, Saab uses Garrett turbos for some of their cars but a Mitsu Turbo for their latest 9.3 Aero.

Wanna know if it's a gsx, easiest way. . .get behind him in traffic. Unless he is dropped over 1.5 inches you'll see the back axle sticking down, it'll be silver while everything else is black. Not hard to tell a gsx from just the stance, they look wider in the rear than a gs or gs-t.

Turbo is in the front by the radiator..Remember, its a 4cyl so there is only one exhuast manifold in the front just like the celicas. The turbo is spooled off the manifold.

The ST is slower, he just doesn't know how to race and 19" wheels didn't help him either. But congrats on the win! 100 bucks can go a long way. wink.gif

lol.

Its easy to beat any N/A eclipse with a Celica. Those cars are SLOOOOOOW. I'd beaten a few Eclipses in my school with my ST and most of these people just dont know how to drive, but Eclipse's (except for GST/GSX) are just plain slow and have no acceleration. RS/GS = Cheap Options/All Power Options Same engine 2.0, a whole .2 more than your Celica's 1.8.

snake, I wasn't happy when phat boi went with the del sol- but please restrain yourself. There is no need for personal insults like that, it only makes you look bad- not him. He's still here isn't he? That means he likes our cars.

Hey ks, since you live in Brooksville maybe we should meet up sometime? I live about 45 minutes away and we could meet up and head to the track and race our cars there. Of course not right now, at least after I get in a few mods to the engine and suspension but it would be a good idea, and we could work out our differences on both the cars and see how performance wise how good each car is. It'd be fun, and you could stop with the negative comments in the forums.

Yes, that really is uncalled for. Who cares if he got a Honda. Honda's are not bad cars. What makes a car bad is the driver... not the car. Phat Boi is a cool guy... so there really is no need for the animosity.

"And a GS can take an ST as well. An RS might be good competition for you."

The gs and the rs both have the same engine on 95+ eclipse. You will be able to beat a non turbo eclipse with your celica if it had the 5sfe. with the 7afe you might start side by side. I race a RS for kicks a friend of my cusins. I was driving my ae92 corolla GT-S rated at 115 hp at 6600 rpm could rev to 8000 rpm and 105 ft/lb of tq at 6000 rpm regardless I was able beat him in the launch then he went in front of me about 1 car length then i started cacthing up again. This was up hill. my gt-s wiegths about the 20lb less then a 6th gen st celica. BUt with the 5sfe im sure you cad hand it to him. Besides he let me drive the thing and its not that fast. My gt-s spun more tire than that thing on 1st gear dropping the cluth. any ways if its a RS or GS and you got the GT you more likely than not have a chance if its the GS-T or GS-X then hope you got the all trac celica.

If you scrolled down a couple more posts, you would have noticed that I already agreed that the GS and RS are equivalent in terms of their motors.

ks, you can stay with a Cadillac CTS? I find that hard to believe, 255HP 3.6L V6 will own your 105HP 1.8L 4cyl very easily. Your dad must drive slow too 3.3-liter DOHC 24-valve VVT-i V6 225 hp @ 5,600 rpm 240 lb.-ft. @ 3,600 rpm would kill the Celi easily too. What's your point about coming on here and talking garbage when half the stuff you say is lies?

Grow up kid, your car ain't fast, it will never be fast, even my car isn't fast, not without an engine swap or a Turbo. Stop making up stories trying to get points with people know how Celica's really drive.

And even with the more common swap (2nd gen 3s) or the turbo route, our cars will still be only moderately fast as compared to many newer cars and most fast older cars (Ie Supra, 300AZTT, and even the low budget king of kings, the 240SX with the SR swap)

Get over it. i was owned on the interstate the other day by an old OLD maxima. I was alone in my car and the two guys in the maxima flew past... and slowed down to laugh.

be happy that your car looks good, but it is not fast. It will however outhandle most cars you will find on the road. wink.gif I've never ridden in a car that would out-handle mine, and I have been in many a car.

Im just read over the crap spewin out of your mouth previously. Seriously why dont you packup your 91 whp ST and get the hell out of here. You have the worst damn attitude out of anyone I've ever seen on here. Phat Boi is pretty cool and his "sell-out" Del-Sol will show how it feels to get a prostate exam. Your not cool cause you "think" you beat a GS, RS whatever the hell it was I dont care. We can all read a BullSh!t meter pretty well when it comes to racing other cars. Stop being a typical teenager and show some class for christ sakes.
