'89 LX vs '00 Celica - 9/8/2007 7:59:21 AM    Black89LX   Posts: 74 Joined: 4/28/2007 Status: offline Okay I have a question on who would win this race. My friend has a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S with the 1.8L 6 spd. I think 180hp/130tq or something. I'm sure he is stock, he just got it. I have an 89 LX 5.0 with a BBK CAI, Flowmaster Catback exhaust, and Accel ignition system. Also a BnM shift improver kit on my AOD. I plan on putting some underdrive pullies on soon, too. He says he will beat me no problem, idk that is what he said when he had his integra w/ CAI and exhaust, but when I beat him he said, "yeah you have a 5.0L." I beat an 02 civic "VTEC" with full intake, full exhaust, ud pullies, a racing clutch, and lightweight rims. I had my brother in my car too. Tell me what you guys think. _____________________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2672103 Post #: 1

Yuo should win this one. _____________________________ Roll racing isn''t racing. Its just 2 retards speeding together! (in reply to Morbid Intentions) Post #: 4

Actually I've seen a few put down around 160 and I seen alot with just a Fidanza flywheel put down about 170 to the wheels, and they only weigh 2500lbs. _____________________________ 2005 Ford Mustang GT - 5spd manual - Flowmaster mufflers - Pypes o/r x-pipe - C&L intake - SCT tuner tuned to 93 octane - 3.73''''''''''''''''s - Nitto 555R''''''''''''''''s 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC - 5spd manual - Stock (in reply to bluebeastsrt) Post #: 8

Also, it might be worth while to save your money for a chip or gears rather than getting UDP's now. _____________________________ 1994 GT ~ Black/Tan ~ 5spd ~ Bolt-ons ~ Bullitt Wheels 1996 F150 XLT ~ 351 ~ Auto ~ 4X4 ~ 3.55's ~ Rear Posi (in reply to 90lxstang) Post #: 11
