It has a relatively short power band which is only really good for hauling (trucks) and drag racing. In stock form... it's not really all that fast either. Best of luck.

My first tuner car too - my '81 Celica GT. Cool engine and OMG what a tank. MY Grandfather bought it and drove it for approx 36K miles - gave it to my Mom who drove it here in Houston's oppresively hot and humid weather then drove it to NYC area, drove it there for 4 years, drove it back to Houston and drove it for about two years. We garaged it, I bought it from my Grandfather, fixed it back up and drove it for about a month. Then one fateful day I asked my Mom when was the last time she did an oil change [about 250K miles at this time]. She asked me "what's an oil change?". So basically my Mom probably never even had the oil changed for all those miles. I changed the oil and the head gasket blew within 5mins. down the street. I am sure I put in enough oil/not too much - I think the oil pump just couldn't push new thick oil through the block anymore ![]() Cool car - I rebuilt the engine and she was good until a lady totalled her 4 years or so later. -------------------- ![]() |
