First note that I looked around but didn't happen to see anything that mentioned this (pardon me if I missed it.)
Ok guys, Im looking into buying some new rims for my car, and I love the way 18's look on the celica. I know that physically they fit on the car no problem, but also i'm planning to put in the silvertop 4age. Now i know the 1.6 4age technically has more torque than the 1.8 7afe, but at a much higher range in the rpm band. Because of this would i be putting any unnecessary stress on the motor during stop and go traffic due to the wheel size? Basically are 18's to big for a 1.6L? Or am I worrying over nothing? Thanks ahead of time guys! |

i dont think you will have too much of a problem. just dont launch it hard.
also... a 2nd gen 3sgte clip runs $2000.00 about plus a gt trans n any other loose ends you're lookin at $3000 for 250hp thats good for everyday driving almost. a 4age engine swap is easier... but i dont think its very cost effective, or for the fun factor, comparable to the 3s. just some food for thought =) -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!
