Hey im a noob here,

I was just posting to say hi and tell about my new car. I also have a few questions as well. When I bought the car the motor was shot so I am in the process of putting in a newer 5sfe w/ 50 000 kilometers on it. I have no been able to drive it as of yet because of repairs. My father owns a toyota dealership so I have the thing in the back on jack stands right now. So far I have no mods but the car came with NGK wires and a new distributor, clutch and flywheel. I have also degreased the whole motor bay after we took out the motor. My plans are to paint the rims, TRD brake pads, and to paint the calipers black. When I get the motor back in I want to put on a INJEN intake and paint the cam cover.

My questions are:
What does the car top out at (speed)?
What does the car rev till (rpm, absolute)?
What does it pull on the quarter mile (mines a GTS)?
What speed does the car do in each gear?

Also my CD player doesnt work it has a constant source but just doesnt turn on. The attenna on the back is cut of at the bottom. I have tryed other similar radios and they dont work either, I have checked all fuses.

I hope to learn more on this forum.
Scott H.

well iv been up to 120 and still going with my gt. id expect 125-130 for top speed

the car revs to about 6300

1/4 mile is crappy. unless you turbo it or supercharge, you are NOT getting any decent performance out of the 5sfe. (well unless you have a lot of money to spend)

o yeah with the intake, unless you can find a used injen i would recomendd going with a custom made short ram intake from one of the guys here on the board. cheaper and it does the same job.

have fun with your new celica
