when dealing with high horsepower 3sgte's...how bad is it to have FWD. are you guys with swaps in your celica's spinning your tires too much to make the car fun to drive? the reason i ask is because i read people hating on FWD all the time, saying RWD is the only way to go (it IS more fun), but im almost done swapping a 3sgte+lsd mr2 tranny into my celi. my goals are to have it around 300-350hp before too long.

what are your opinions on high HP and FWD

if you have 15s with crappy tires, you will spin like crazy when u floor it.

right now i got 17s with kumho tires. never had any problems with this setup. the 3sgte just feels right in a 6th gen. i can honestly say that if i had to choose having my swap be fwd or awd, i would pick fwd.

u mean when you start out really slow in 2nd like at 2k then floor it around 4.5k my tires break free. and ive got nice good gripping tires? torque steer blows it will make the car wanna turn either direction so u have to hold onto the wheel tight. running 11 psi now. smile.gif haha i dont care every seems fine.
