my buddy has 2003 celica gt-s whith hks cat back exaust and ngk plug wires.

who whould when in a race. And what are some more bolt on's that could give me some more power for under a $1000.

It really depends on the driver, If the celica is auto you will have no problem, but 5 speed may be a decent race. I would say you should have the upper hand because you are more modded and those cars run pretty close stock.

Only one way to find out though right?

Also, which graddy cat-back do you have? My friend has an 00 GT and wants to get the greddy SP-2.

not for sure was on it when i got it the guy i baught it off of said it was like $800. but sounds sweet down low it is silent when you start to wind it up it sound like a little indy car i will look an post back later

Allright cool man. I like how the GT's sound. Even stock they sound kinda like indy cars. If you race your friend you should try to record it!

no bench racing allowed. gotta just go do it and let us know who wins.

This thread is full of fail...

How much did all those aftermarket parts cost you? Most of them won't do dick shit. The I/H/E combo would net you the most power, but are you taking advantage of any tuning to actually get the advantage of higher flow? The wires and plugs were probably a waste. Why are you using drilled and slotted rotors? Why drilled at all? Slotted are fine. The best bang for buck with your car is spraying it.

Watch out for the GT-S though, they can be pretty damned quick.

Oh, and no bench racing. Bench racing is for communists and high school cheerleaders.

I like my rotors with holes in 'em.......shave a couple of oz.,..... added at least 50hp

eclipse_gt · 01-06-2009, 02:39 PM

my car is a daily driver spraying it would make it last how long with out hurting stuff. My rotors I got a deal on them on ebay
And i did race by buddy and beat him 3 out 3 of times. Two from a dead stop and one from 40 mph and then he drove my car and i drove his car and the eclipse still won. From a dead stop in wasent even close from 40mph i beat him still by about 5 or 6 cars up to about 115mph then i let off.

If you don't act like a ricer, your car will last plenty long on a 75 shot if you do it right.

One of these days I'll find another human being that thinks buying brakes of eBay is no bueno.

If you cant spell your mods, you lose automatically.

Torched, my friend had a Greddy SP2 on his rsx-s, and liked it. It didn't have the annoying ricer sound, and wasn't too loud

honestly, now that i think about it, if you really had this eclipse with all these mods and were going to race your buddy's gt-s, why are you worrying? you have a modded v6, and they have a cat back'd gt-s. you both run the same 1/4 time stock just about, but with all your 'mods' you should have no problem as long as you dont roast the tires in 1st...

go figure.. common sense.

Because the only thing he really has that will net him any go is the Headers. And didn't someone on here with a GT-S with an unbolted exhaust and Super AFC run like, 13s?

didn't the Op say he and his friend raced? why even make this thread? this new guy is, to quote cassiesman, "no bueno", fuckin' fail, Fail, FAIL.

yeah that was that guy vip09. to be fair, i've never seen another celica that was that fast, his car was a freak or something.
