thank you to all who have replied. my goal is to come as close to a 10 sec. car as possible. i know i have alot of research to do and i am going to start.
the car is running strong now and the maintance is really good. so it is no hurry to get there. even if my car never hits 10 secs. in a 1/4 mile then i wont be dissapointed as long as it is semi close and i am the one to do it all. then at least i will know that whatever it is in the end i can say i did my best and i did it all. thanks again to all who have replied -------------------- BABI BOI

my goal is to come as close to a 10 sec. car as possible. I would find a front engine rear wheel drive car with a decent sized engine bay and start there. much more practical. However, if your pockets run deep then you could do something like this. No offense, I love my car, but if my goal was to build a quick 1/4 mile car, I wouldn't start with a celica. I'd start with an old F-body pony car( Mustang, Camaro, Firebird, etc.) -------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold
