[H7OTT]

right im new to this site this is my first post so bear with me. I have owned a celica gt i think it is an ss11 cause it is very low how do i tell ? also do you think i should remove my rear spoiler will it look better? my car was imported all the mods were done when i bought it , their are some engine mods they are - hks air intake jasama downpipe and fullstainless exahust, this may sound impossible bu ive had the speedo round to 165mph i know the speedo is about 8mile an hour out the previous owner told me but that means i was doing 155mph+ could this be right as i say i dont know too much about the car would appreciate some advice.. oli

A SS-II Celica runs out of gearing at abotu 145 MPH

Unless it has super strut then it will have a close ratio box and run out at 137 MPH

All tested on a rolling road

Hi are you saying superstrut equipped ss-II's and ss-III's have longer gear ratios than the rest of the celica's.... that makes me wonder I worked out that with my tyre size and gear rations on my ss-III it will top out at about 142mph on the rev limiter in 5th. I cant ever see the need to go there, I wonder if there is much acceleration to be gained from changinge the gearbox, I've already taken the gearbox off twice myself, could be quite a cheap performance mod,if the lsd could be transfered and if the driveshafts are interchangable of course.


H7OTT - Whereabouts in scotland are you? I'll have to keep an eye out for you, nice looking celica you got there
