im in the process of upgrading my exhaust and my intake to perfermance type parts etc... i eventually want to install a 100-shot nos tank in the trunk but im confused on which parts I should upgrade and which I should leave.
I have a 97 ST and I've considered all my options, this seems to be the most reasonable and the most affordable. I will be going with a nitrous express model with 100-shot. let me know if you have any suggestions or comments about this. thanks for your time. |

it depends what you are going for and what kind of funds you have.
money aside: A)do a full 7A motor build and run your 100-shot if you are into dragging. B) swap the 3sgte into the celica if you like going to car shows and just showing the car off and having fun just driving and are a FF drivetrain fan. C) sell it and buy a MR2 if you want to go track racing. if money is your main concern: A)nitrous itself is very cheap HP, but it comes at the high cost of extreme engine wear if you dont put any money into the motor itself. and if you do put money into the motor, its no longer cheap HP. B)3sgte swap is probably your most expensive option (if you deduct selling the celica from the mr2 option) but its a very unique setup that few people have and everyone seems to lust over. C)MR2. if you are getting the NA version... you are wasting your time, you should have kept the celica. the car is not a daily driver, it has next to no cargo room, no passanger room, and is a pure bred sports car of the nastiest kind. dont bother if you dont have a daily driver. and learn the brake pedal is no longer your friend. i chose to buy my MR2 turbo because i have a daily driver, i want to get into autocross and track racing this year, i didnt have enough money to swap the 3sgte in the celica, and nitrous is a really stupid idea for a road racing car. i dont regret buying the mr2 for a second... i just wish i had my celica as my daily driver. lol -------------------- ![]() Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...
