i was just wondeing for you swaped guys are your cars still good at cornering. i cant imagine the celi still being good at cornering with all that weight at the front.
also if anyone knows how much the 5sfe weighs to the 3sgte. also 3sgte has a iron block right? - making it heavier. -------------------- Former: 96 GT 5 speed (i/p/e) Fate- rear ended by mack truck
00 GTS 6 speed (i/ Bored TB 63mm - 68.5mm w/ butterfly/ Ported IM/ IMG/ PFC/ Commander/ datalogit/ Ported & heat wrapped Header/ Decat/ UEGO/) 193FWHP 14.2(1/4mi) @98mph, 2.12 60ft (just intake, unbolted Exhaust, and gutted) Fate- side swipped by 18 wheeler at 75mph. Next: maybe an elise |

The Celis are one of the best handling FWD cars out there. I imagine that you could toss a blacksmith anvil in the car somehwere and it would still corner pretty well.
That said, a stock car from the factory comes with some compromises so as to please GrandmaGroceryGetter. If you are interested in making the Celica handle better (3SGTE swpa or not) there are parts out there to do that. I would suggest a nice spring/shock combo and a some better sway bars. At the very least, this will more than offset whatever handling characteristics adding 200lbs to the front of the car would. |
