Hey guys contact E-Speed in Kannapolis NC, they have tons of 12A pieces and parts just waiting to get bought up. Oh and by the way, the owner of E-Speed just happens to build some of the winningest...
Here are pics of my Celica GTS track event (read soon to be PT car) and how I mounted my seat. While it isn't adjustable, you could very easily make it that way by simply drilling additional mounting...
Matt, you got me interested, so I did a little research, turns out these cars had either the C50 or C52 tranny in them. Well the C52 is the stronger of the two, and was also installed in the early...
Hey Matt, you might try an 88-89 MR2 SC, since they gave them a supercharger, they just might have given them a different final drive gear. If not TRD or perhaps even Toysport might be able to help...
Hey Scott, it sure makes racing the lowly little Pulsar in ITC seem more inviting, what with no spec tires and only a handfull of bitchers to have to listen to. Now you see why I left SCCA, even...
Hey everyone, don't know if the tire shortage has anything to do with it, but Toyo has been saying they would bring a new tire to the US soon. I believe it to be closer to the Hoosier, Kumho 710,...
As I continue to develope the PT car, just thought you guys would like to see it's current state. I've done quite a bit of suspension tuning over the winter, including the addition of coil-overs and...
Thanks Jake.
By the way, I for one, do like the way things seem to be going with IT. Great Job! :happy204:

I raced IT from 1986 to 2000, and just got frustrated with the constant...

I've been using a Longacre hex style QR for years, alittle bit of play, but not bad. And you can adapt it using a tuner lugnut, just like whats discribed in an earlier post. To check these units out,...
As far as performance parts go, your pretty limited, but check with Rick at Toyhead Auto he's helped me a bunch. His site is http://www.toyheadauto.com, and he covers all gen Celicas.

Howdy,
Check with K. Wantanabe, they are a importer of Japanese engines, and their prices are very reasonable.
If you do a Google search for engine importers, you'll find a bunch of good sources...
I figured you were, but the 5th gen reference through me off, since the
actual car in question is classified as a 7th gen chassis. Also where we
get the 180 hp model, our Japanese freinds get 200+...
Yeah just like I said, the 7th gens looked great on paper, but Toyota would have been better served by continueing to import the 3SGE engines in all the newer body style Celicas. This engine is still...
Hey check with http://www.toyheadauto.com, they carry lots of good parts for Toyota's too.
Exactly which Celica are we talking about, I run a fourth gen GTS and from everything I'm hearing here, you guys must be refering to the seventh gen model. The engine in the fifth gen Celica was a...
Hey guys I'm adding a picture of my Celica Performance Touring car (NASA), racer that I'm working on as a project. The car in the picture is more of a test mule, but is very much the same as the...
Hey thanks for the info, I'll try to get back in touch with him again. My car is still in the building process, but will hopefully be finished sometime this year. I do have second car for Time...
Hey guys, finally found a 3SGE header, it's available from Genie Headers of Australia. I'm waiting on more info from them on what material they use, mild or stainless steel. Also hoping to find out...
Hey all talked a security guard at the Rolex weekend, he said the lower level (track) is going to be weightroom, next level (grid) garage space, top level condos. He said same thing as everybody...
Well he's not real close to Ohio, but my freind Sam has built lots of winning Toyota engines, PM me and I'll give you his contact info. By the way he's in North Carolina, but builds for people all...
Just another update, began building my coil-over shocks tonight. Started by disassembling the Koni struts which came with my donor car, so I can cut of the spring purches. Then depending on which...
Bob this is just the sort of thing I've been stressing for years, as I built my first IT car in 1985 and it to was a unibodied car. This has been a concern of mine since day one, and I have explained...
Hey guys I've started making alittle progress on my IT Celica, the cage is going in and I'm repacking wheel bearings and installing longer wheel studs. I've got a decision to make on engines though,...
