Hey guys, my celica is abnormally quick. I shift at 5500 typically but I just changed the clutch and my car takes off like a bat out of hell. I know I was driving it slipping before and it makes a difference but my other car is a 1982 camaro with a 350 and 345 horsepower (net) under the hood. I bought my celica from some kid who had the engine rebuilt because he blew it up and it has maybe 20k on it now, i've only driven it maybe a thousand miles.but everyone talks about how slow these cars are stock, mines really not. Had a friend pull it apart and he said the car isn't stock and as far as he can tell. He owned one for years, a 5th gen though and he said it's nowhere close to his. But all I can tell it has is a cold air intake....what the hell could they have done when it was rebuilt?ported the heads maybe?

Bored out with advance timing possibly. High rpm at idle makes me think an advance in timing.

1400 when cold, yeah its pretty advanced timing id say. Dont see reason why, makes backing this thing up a bitch.

Maybe it's really a 3S-GE in there.

Haha i wish, i know it still has 2200 on it but the whole top end looks replaced.you can tell what was new and what isnt.
