the best way i can describe it is, that the motor gives you to go that the stock celica is lacking. the power to traction ratio feels almost perfect. its as if toyota could have sold this fwd car with this motor as a production car.
after close to 2 years of owning mine, my grin has yet to go away. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I'm just trying to get some real world driven experience from people on the car now. Can't wait for the swap to happen. -------------------- |
