6G Celicas Forums

I just wanted to give you guys my $0.02.


If I were given a choice between the 3sgte and the 4G63, I would go with the 4G63 because it has better aftermarket support BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY the bottom end on a 4G63 is more robust and is capable of 450+ HP before you have to upgrade internals.

The only thing you have to watch out for on the 4G63 is the bolt pattern on the block. Make sure it's a sixer otherwise you'll face crankwalk. Besides this, the 4G63 IS INCREDIBLY ROBUST.

My car has that same exact problem. I looks as though the previous owner had punched it with the sharp end of a pencil. Fix??????

Muscle v. import, I'm in the middle. You show me a modified 3000GT (which I hate to say I would take over a Supra) and I'll crap my pants for you. You show me a early 60's modle Chevy Nova with a blown 502, and I'll crap my pants once more. I love cars. Period. End of story. Thank you, have a nice day. That's it.

I'm pretty sure that the person I bought my car from kept it stock, AND I'm pretty sure I run faster than 17's. Out by my house there is a hill (probably 30%) that my friend and I race up. It's kind of fun, and we both try to hit 60+ by the time we get to a particular driveway with is about 1/5 mile away from the start. On a warm day, I can hit 66, on a cold, 57-60. My friend own a 95 Eagle Talon (not a TSi though) and he gets to about the same speed. We once raced and he beat me by about 1/2 of a car length. Anyways, the point I'm trying to get at is that if I can hit 60+ on a HILL within 1/5 mile and I've guestimated about 80 on a 1/4 level strip (I actually went out to a public road and painted lines), shouldn't I be hitting better than 17's? There's a civic out at the track that hits 16's (ewwww) at top of about 70. What's up with that? Shouldn't I be doing better?

I don't know if this helps at all, but here goes.

I own a '94 Celica ST. No, it's not a beast, but ST's seem to get played down WAY too much around here. There is no doubt in my mind that a GT is faster than an ST or that an GT-4 is faster than that, but when you guys start comparing ST's to EX and DX Civics, that's just wrong, man! I don't know what I would do if I lost to a pathetic DX or EX civic, and I'll tell you, I have a friend with a nice '93 DX civic with a stock D15 engine except for a new cam (SOHC). I've raced him a few times and every time I beat him the same way.

I never seem to get off the line as quick as he does, maybe it is because I have a heavier car(?), I don't know, but I WILL tell you this...I spank him in 3rd gear.

If you can picture that, that is the way it went. So is an ST faster than an Si? I doubt. But does the ST deserve the bad wrap everyone seems to give it? I don't think so.

P.S. I'd rather lose to a Civic than to a Neon. Those things are gross!

Edit: This friend of mine is undergoing an engine swap to a DOHC V

When everyone is done picking the sweet pieces from your car, let me know what you have left and I'll see if I need any of it. Thanx.
