our ST's are just slow!, even with the 4age swap its still slow.. Options

[soulshadow]

Went to a racing meet today In faytteville. I saw some really nice cars and a crazy hot looking chic flash for us . I went racing against an nissan (old school car forgot what it was called), and B16 JDM type civic swap. Unfort. lets just say that my car is slow. Lost to both cars. My car is completely stock + stock 4age ST engine (stock) too.

Im at the point where drag racing is out of the question, cause my car is so slow and furthure engine mods are somewhat useless cause Im so poor.

I was thinking somewhere that I might get a GTS and swap it out with a BEAMS motor. I want NA, cause its just less maintence.

Any comments.. (yes! im stupid cause I race on the streets)

Best reply and most accurate.


celica was not meant to be fast especially USDM celicas. drag racing is more then power what are your 60'ft are you spinning off the line. dont expect to hit low 13;s with this car youll be lucky to even break in the low 14s. also since you want to drag look into some gear work.

5.0's are great. Used to own one, lots of potential for cheap. I want to get another convertible 5.0, strip the interior to the basics, cage it, put an eibach suspension in it and make it an autoX monster since everyone always builds those cars to drag.
