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 slight weight gain is not of major concern simply because the torque and power increase negates it all. Both engines are iron block BTW...
As for handling, I haven't driven a 3SGTE swapped Celica, but in the corners, it'll be close depending on the track. Big Power doesn't mean as much in the tight corners as linear power... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
