First of all, hello to everyone. I'm new to the site and so far I like what I see.

I'm from England and looking to buy a 6th gen Celica GT (3S-GE). The only thing I'm not sure on is whether I should grab one with VVTi or without. Whichever I eventually pick, I want to tune it to get the best performance I can. I like the idea of the VVTi model because it sounds like the flashier version of the two cars, but I don't know if it having VVTi will limit the extent to which I can tune the car. Will the prescence of VVTi restrict which performance parts I can use on the car, and how much I can fiddle with these, or the stock parts?

I've had a brief look at some 6th gen Celica parts on the market and the phrase "to fit the version without VVTi" cropped up quite a few times, which is what made me think of posting this topic. Any feedback you can offer on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Hello matey.. the VVTI Gen6 being refered to is the BEAMS engine.. it a red topped engine block - very rare and any in the uk are all imports..

it will limit some of the tuning.. but not too much.. There's a guy who's imported one to sell on the uk club site - www.celica-club.co.uk
look in the forums on there...

good choice of Gen - got 2 myself.. If you want help in the uk there's a fair few of us.. !
