and look and what you f**king drive. a damn miata. don't tell me mines not worth modding.

 

stip out ur damn interior. Weight reduction yo! Back seats, plastic panels, carpeting, speakers, dash board, sound dampening material, it can all go. Not only will our car weigh less, it will handle some what better due to it being lighter. Get some suspension also. As far as power, i dont think anyoen makes aftermarket parts for Celicas.

 

Hahahaha. I come from a fairly well-off family. That doesn't mean my parents spoiled me, however. I worked to pay for my car, as I'm sure plenty of other people on here did. We all make the most out of what we can afford as well.

And if you don't think a miata is worth modding...you don't belong in the car scene anyway. Dumbfuck.

When I said to get something worth modding, I wasn't trying to insult you and your car. I was trying to tell it to you the way it is.

 

r u stupid or just retarded?

a Miata is a FR car with 50/50 weight distribution. Celicas only WISHed they were that cool.

 

You can't talk down to a Miata, they my be known as a gay little boys car, but when you get in it and hit the twistys, Zoom Zoom, fun as hell. And then when it comes to power, there are many turbo kits out there or they swap just about every engine in that thing from a Rotary RX-7 turbo 13b to a Monster Miata that has a Blown DOHC 32v 4.6L Cobra engine putting out over 500RWHP in 2400lbs and it still was able to handle pretty damn well.

But I'm not gunna talk down about the celica either. In japan I saw some sick ass celica's and they do have alot of potental even on the track. When boosted they make great #'s, but if you don't have that kinda money, spend $350 or so on a used Nawwz system. It the cheapest way to get the most power.

 

Damn man... where should I start.......

Ok well first things first. You do have a celica which is NOTORIOUS for very low torque. on top of that you have a gt (1zzge) model which motor is used in the new body corrolla's. this motor produces absolutly no toque as you have found out. Now on the other side of things with hp gains, they can be achieved much easier then torque on the gt motor you have. BUT not that much. I see that you are not trying to spend too much money to gain power out of your car. the mods you have are basically the only "cheap" things you can do. I would suggest a better exhaust system then the one you have chose. the aem cai you have will give you more hp at top end, ingen also makes a cai system for your car and that does not give you as much hp as the aem one, BUT it does make more torque. DC headers are all right I guess, but I would have went with the Trial headers, they make much more power but cost a lot more. the AEM Alternator Pulley are fine. To be honest with you man, and im not trying to bring you down or disrespect your car, but the celica gt is a slow car to start with, its not a good tuner car like the gts model. to really get power out of this car you would have to boost it, the low compression ratio will help you boost higher then you could with the gts model. but you would only be able to make about 220-240whp with the right supporting mods, after that amount of power, you will be pushing the limits of the motor and would have to start planning on a full rebuild of the motor so it can handle higher boost levels. im sure you dont want to spend that much money to boost the car, so another cheaper way to get some power out of it would be nitrous oxide aka NAWZ!!! but i wouldn't do anything higher then a 50 shot. this is much cheaper then a turbo kit. you will also gain a good amount of torque with nitrous. another idea you should look in to is a apexi afc, this is not a standalone but you will be able to tune the car and other modifications you have done to the car. I wish they made cams for the 1zzge but they dont. The last thing I can recommend to get you power cheap is to strip the car. I dont mean just take the rear seats out, I mean a total strip job!!!! like dirty women would give you. Everything in the car would have to go. this wont give you more power but it will make the car lighter.

Basically man. To sum it all up, the car is not a go fast car. I have seen gt celicas with turbo kits make mid to high 13sec passes, but this is with a fully built motor and turbo kit, a lot of money was used$$$. But with a good amount of mods, strip job and 50 shot of nitrous you should be a mid to high 14 sec car. but what rout you chose is up to you. Take care and good luck with the project.

 

Celicas are all show anyways. Look at the trd kit that comes with it. come on now.

 

first off, i never said i was trying to f**king race my car. and since you guys are "suppose" to be in the import scene. no one makes aftermarket parts. umm, yeah. i don't think so. there are plenty of aftermarket parts out there, but like one person said, it's more in the high end price range. i.e. turbo. you guys need to get off of your damn, "there are only parts for hondas/acuras". they are way to common. every other damn car is one.

 

i thought the name for the celica wasnt celica anymore i thought it was just a showica since there not fast..heh heh

but anyway trdceligt.. u might wanna go on ecelica.com they got some fast celicas there..

 

Didn't Corky Romano drive a miata?
