First of all, hello to everyone. I'm new to the site and so far I like what I see.
I'm from England and looking to buy a 6th gen Celica GT (3S-GE). The only thing I'm not sure on is whether I should grab one with VVTi or without. Whichever I eventually pick, I want to tune it to get the best performance I can. I like the idea of the VVTi model because it sounds like the flashier version of the two cars, but I don't know if it having VVTi will limit the extent to which I can tune the car. Will the prescence of VVTi restrict which performance parts I can use on the car, and how much I can fiddle with these, or the stock parts? I've had a brief look at some 6th gen Celica parts on the market and the phrase "to fit the version without VVTi" cropped up quite a few times, which is what made me think of posting this topic. Any feedback you can offer on this subject would be greatly appreciated. |

Hello matey.. the VVTI Gen6 being refered to is the BEAMS engine.. it a red topped engine block - very rare and any in the uk are all imports.. it will limit some of the tuning.. but not too much.. There's a guy who's imported one to sell on the uk club site - www.celica-club.co.uk look in the forums on there... good choice of Gen - got 2 myself.. If you want help in the uk there's a fair few of us.. ! |
