 funny ****but seriously the ST doesnt have the **** loads of power like say a WRX or SRT-4 or even the new SI civic. so i say screw the drag racing. but if you really want to drag you can lightening up the car. like stated earlier lose the back seats, panels, carpet, spare tire, jack, and passenger seat. lose AC/heater. stick with the 14 inch rims with a grippy tire and lose a little weight up front. lighter hood, smaller battery and what not. itll be a little quick off the line but you ll still get owned at a drag strip. but take that same car to a auto x event. do a about 2 years of practicing and after 2 years youll be whooping ass left and right. ive actually ran even with a 7th gen GT and also a Type R at these events. since it focus more on the driver then the car. |

What? Like modify the tranny? AUTO trannies are made to be efficient... They're not made for performance. It's got only 4 tall gears... There are no DIY modifications that can be done to improve a tranny, in fact... I don't reccomend trying to even mess with a tranny unless you're skilled and experienced and have all of the right tools... Simple answer... get rid of it. Swap in a manual. C50, C52, C56... 2 different 5 speeds some available with LSD, one 6 speed version w/ or w/o LSD (C56)...

fyi, its the engine that makes the torque, tranny just puts it to the wheels. you want more torque, get some mods on the engine. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

what is the GT's powerband? at what rpm should you shift it?
if i'm ever racing i usually shift at 6k from first to second and shift around 5600 in the other gears. the car just chirps harder when i rev it up higher in the first gear. Because of our cars high torque(but i dont understand why i thought it peaks at 4400rmp??), i usually jump up quite a bit from just shifting from 1st to 2nd. Ive even hung with a trans am for the first gear and half. then i got owned, but i was pretty surprised we were side by side for a second or two. but when i hit third and fourth gear i get pulled on by pretty much everything except civics. I always take the intergas at first and then by the time i'm in 5th gear there 2-3 cars a head of me. Our top end just blows. This post has been edited by ssnake86: Nov 4, 2004 - 1:51 AM |

although torque is made by the power the gear ratios control howe efficiently the power is used. the manual is his best bet, since like Kwanza said the Auto only has 4 gears.
it's like going 1-2-4-5 or 1-2-3-5 but to make up for losing a gear they lengthen every gear. generally the higher the gear the more lengthening. A 5-speed would help your cause, but be careful to by one that the 7A can use efficiently. ie. i dont feel an e153 belongs w/ a 5S. it might slow it down --------------------  |

thanks kwanza. i dunno what im gonna do now.... its to much money and time to put in a 5 speed. soo we will see.. and sccelica i have a few engine mods. but the simple fact is that the st auto tranny doesnt put anyhting down in 3rd. if i could change that ratio life would be good but i cant.
