Celica STX, Different performance wise? Options

[Justin]

I have a friend who was just givin an stx coupe. He says that it does come with a different stroke and cams. I didn't belive him, so , he took me for a ride. He only has an intake and that thing pulls way harder than my st. For even more testing, I raced him. To my surprise he won by a 3/4 to 1 carlength. I have full exhaust with no cat and a resonator. He also said it has different gearing, but I did'nt pay attention to where he shifted in my ride along. He also said it comes with stiffer suspension and that it came from the factory with an unclearcoated front bumper. Also his is like 190 something of like 250. So, uh, I'm really confused.

hey justin its james, "the supra mechanic" just bring your celica over to bills...we have a timing light and any other tool you might need to do some more work on your celica.

no offense to anyone, but the st and stx cannot be the exact same because when is the last time you saw a stock st pull on a light moded mustang gt?...i saw the stx do so right in front of me this weekend...and all we put on the stx is intake and advanced timing...

"quote from kwanza26" If it makes you feel any better... my ST, as it is currently (detuned... going back to stock)... I'll almost gurantee you I'll put at least a car on your friend...

i seriously doubt that from watching this stx perform this weekend...unless youve got i-h-e, ignition and cams...and you say your going back to stock so...you apparently dont have these things at least anymore...

and if any one wants to talk about how a 3s-gte motor is better than a 2jz in a supra...yousa damn fool...you show me a 1450whp 3s-gte and then ill believe that its a better motor then...the reason they swap a 3s-gte into supras for racing is because in jgtc the make a good amount of power and are a great motor, but they are good few hundred pounds lighter than a 2jz...thats why they swap...also $15g in a mkiv supra will get you into low 10's as long as you know what you are doing. the supra that i have helped build up ran a 12.0 quarter w/ only $4500 invested in the motor on stock turbos, ic, fuel sys, suspension and walmart tires! should be running low to mid 11's on low boost now.

now im not trying to start **** and im sorry if it sounds that way...i just know what ive seen and im just trying to explain the evidence.
