[playr158]

well i gutted everything from my front seats back
every plastic, foam, nut and bolt that i could remove i did.....

slapped on my 14s
dropped down the air pressure and put on my AEM cai

and my time went from a 18.1 second to a 17.4 second tonight

my launch was pretty good hopped for a few feet but it pulled really strong and did well i think

If you try to measure your celica by your "off the line through 1/4 mile" speed/time - well then our cars suck - the real torque only kicks in past 3500 RPM - so Celica acceleration is in spurts,(especially us manual transmission folks)

Just yesterday a 350Z and I were cruising - now this is a vehicle w/ 290HP and 0-60 in under 6 seconds.  He had a very hard time leaving me in the dust, even with those stats vs. my 140HP GT.

Bottom Line - we don't buy these vehicles for 1/4 mile speed, if you want that, you won't get this style, you won't get this gas mileage, and you'll have to get another car loan.

Absolutly right. Even the 0-60 time is not impressive for me. But when you arer already driving @ a certain speed and at mid-high RPMS our cars are pretty fast.
