I know it's not a Celica, but it's the replacement for my Celica GT-S.

Well, actually my 1/4 time was an embrassment to the MR2's around. I got a 13.8 @ 107 mph.

This was with a blown Headgasket and bad syncros in 2nd, not to mention bald tires:D. In about a month the car will be back on the streets again, running about 25+ psi. I am looking at over 450 hp at the wheels, and maybe an even larger Turbo :D

Was that in your Celica or your Eclipse? I've raced my husband in his Eclipse before in my Celica GT-S. I stayed up and when it was vice versa, he smoked teh Eclipse. Now, The Mr2 will smoke him :D

Sweet. What kinda mods do you have on your Eclipse? I know it's a turbo, but have you done any work yet internally? Also, what are you running on the Celica to get that time? Nitrous?

Yeah, the only problem is trying to find someone to tune it. I wouldn't mind doing it myself, but after investing over $20k into it, I just dont trust myself that much.

I did find someone to do the re-build/buildup and htey have over 25 years of experience of building race motors. Hopefully it will have blown it's last time. At least not it's impossible to blow the HeagGasket again :wiggle:
