Im very seriously considering doing an 86 Celica GTS as well. I really love those cars. Durable as hell. I noticed the same thing about the 86-88 models being on a different spec line than the 89. I was doing some research on it as well and found the same thing you did. Actaully, I was about to post on the Rules and Regs forum on how to properly put together a comp board petition. Heh. I was also going to include a request to drop the weight by 100-150# to get it more in line with the SE-R, NX2000, and Neons that were moved into ITA. Perhaps I should send that as separate request?
Hey I was going to give my GTS the World-Challenge touch, by putting my name on the windsheild with a plus 175lbs above, referring to the next lightest car in ITA. If you are serious about a letter and or petition, I'm interested, but mostly to get the specs corrected. I have been in contact with a West Coast driver currently running a GTS, and he has been very helpful with set-up ideas. I will warn you, there isn't a lot of performance parts availible for this car, so I'm soarcing custom peices as we speak, items like headers, coil-over kits, bushings, and wheel studs come to mind as some of the tuffer items to find.
