Driving impression - It's quite a joy to drive, example, passes cars like if they were stopped... w/o down shifting. Having a large amount of torque in 80% of my RPM really makes the Celica feel light and strong.

corners are very sensitive to the right foot, a little too much and I'll find myself under steering like if I was on a patch of ice. Speaking of ice, when I'm driving on wet pave I can spin 1,2,3 like spinning on ice (rpm moves freely to the redline)

In 1st gear I can spin/chirp/break loose on command, in 2nd I can almost chirp/spin on command but it takes a bit of a shock to break traction or else it just takes off.

jdg371 - I'm pretty sure 245's would hold good as long as you don't pop the clutch, in corners they will spin if you put down the pedal too much and on a hard launch they would spin quite a bit but I'm just guessing here, put a V6 in your car and find out biggrin.gif (V6GC#2 spot is still open, i think)

Zimluura - AC Fits no problem, MZ compatible compressor, some custom hoses in the worst case et voila
Right below the alternator is where it goes, pretty much the same spot as the 5SFE compressor. You can spot my two old lines from my AC (pict below)

The stock strut bar fits in there but it gets in the way of the engine rocking back and forth... not good
You'd pretty much have to make your own strut bar. Later down the road if demand is there I will be making custom parts for the V6 including a nice beefy strut bar. No promises though, It all depends how busy I am.
