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 |

agreed 200 lbs isnt a ton of weight, especially when its weight centered over the drive axles... the added weight for a 3sgte over a 5sfe is "better weight" than the addition of subs or driving around cargo in the back because where it is located. 135 HP/115 ft. lbs (this is off of memory please correct the torque figure if i am wrong) - 2600 lbs 200 HP/ 200 Ft. lbs - 2800 lbs the added power definatly more than compensates for the added weight. stiffer springs, thicker sway bars, and stiffer dampers and it will handle 10X better than a factory celica would. --------------------  Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...
