Swap Guys, Track Times, Here We Go....lol Options

When all of the above is not sufficient enough to get enough grip (also in corners) I will go for a standalone TCS like Racelogig. Or getting a AEM with RLTC

Those Racelogic systems are very nice. Unfortunately they cost $1000 and require some wiring experience to install. The AEM traction control is not as nice and requires a lot of tuning. If money isn't an issue, go for the Racelogic.

1000 Dollars. If so it would already be on the car :D

The system itself is about 600 pound (1000 euros = 1200 dollars)
But if you dont have ABS (Which i dont have ) you need wheel sensors that will cost about 250 pounds ( 400 euros = 480 dollars)

And those have to be placed real precise and solid otherwise it wont work. So i will need a company to do that for me = 400 euros
But as the saying goes:
TCS 1000$
Sensors 400$
Getting them equiped 400$
New tires 350$

Whooping every 4wd ass on the track with a FWD = Priceless

So i have to think about that. But if place you can score very good 1/4mile times especially with the Launch Control function.

Yeah, I purposely bought my house 15 minutes from Atco Raceway. I presume you go to Island or Englishtown given that your profile says North Jersey??? I don't get up there too often but will make an exception if you want to do a mini-meet one day!

I plan on taking a few runs down Englishtown this year. You are correct, I mainly stick to Island its 15 mins from where I live. I get more runs there, but Englishtown is a much nicer facility. I'll PM you when we start to run.

My ST isn't stock.. and WILL run a 16sec. 1/4@86mph with some wieght reduction- back seats out, and spare out.

Unless your turbo'd or have a ton of work done it isn't happening.

[nate95]

well its happenin

[yungazzdriver]

yeah i believe this guy because i ran high 16's and just did the tire pressure and weight.............other than that it was stock back then

[dans_st]

I ran a 16.7 on my ST with a CAI,MSD SCI+,2.5" exhaust, with 2-15's in the hatch and no spare.
and that was at a good track with good elevation

[Rjb23]

Produce some time slips and we will believe you.

[bigal004321]

A Stock ST celica runs mid 17's at best stock. and the stock GT run mid 16's....with only weight reduction that doesnt help that much...100lbs. = .1sec...Furthermore, i have a full exhaust, CAI, and my best time was 15.8 with an good launch and also driving an GT, not an ST...so without being heavily modded (exhaust, Intake, suspension, clutch, etc.) the ST will not run a 16 flat.

Guys this thread is about swapped Celica track times.

If you guys want to discuss ST track times, start a thread with slips or videos.

Lets try to stay on topic.

why 5-6psi? just wondering. thats below stock.

[yungazzdriver]

hahahahaha well for all of yall that said a stock st cant make 16 seconds got something for ya!!! well i got a 16.68 with a passenger and withought the passenger of the seat i got 16.48,.....................yes i repeat 16.48 on a STOCK celica st (low tire pressure/weight reduction)

16 second pass ae86 (trd headers,intake ,rsr exhaust) vs stock celica st

[nate95]

HAHA finaly some can prove it can be true!!! EAT THAT YOU ST HATERS,,LOL.. thanks yungazzdriver!!

[brianforster]

a 16.68 and a 16 flat are way different.

but that is an impressive time yungazz, congrats

LOL you can't even read it, looked more like 18.61 to me.

Heheh... fact of the matter is... YOU can't prove a thing. You don't even sound like you have a remote clue about what you're talking about... so talk doesn't mean jack.

That said... it's not whether or not a Celica ST can or cannot run 16s... the fireworks you get is because YOU definately do NOT sound like someone who can run 16 flat in a Celica ST. I on the other hand... CAN



As for the video... the trap speed speaks as loud as the 16.4 claim. 16.4 CAN be achieved with a VERY low 60 footer... at what looks to be an 81mph trap speed... however it'll be hard. I ran 2.0-2.2 60 footers, which is good for a FWD car, on slicks mind you... so I personally think that video is overrated. Also... from the looks of it... I'd venture a closer guess of 16.6-16.8 or so... cause that blur doesn't look much like a .4... but that's just me. How about a timeslip instead?

[nate95]

you guys aren't happy with anything.. i have more performance done to my car than you and you dont think i can run in the 16s?

[yungazzdriver]

LOL you can't even read it, looked more like 18.61 to me.

hey man i dont want to be mean but can you read????? i mean really its not that blurry!!! its either that or,..........u wont admit a 16 year old with a stock celica st can run 16's wether its 16.9 or 16.0. i did run a 16.48 and it was another race against some crapped up monte carlo that ran 17's. and i really had no reason to put up this video to prove you guys with gt's i dont know why i cared so much as to put that video up cuz i dont give a crap what you think (your opinion ) i dont fight over one opinion, but when it comes to facts ill let yall know st's stock can run 16's!!
