"On canyon roads, this 2,500-pound welterweight tightly arcs through corners with minimal body roll. The steering is very quick and precise without being twitchy, and the thick three-spoke steering wheel rim fits naturally in your hands. Reducing speed is a simple matter of squeezing the powerful brakes; 60-to-0 stops take a mere 116 feet.
The Celica is at its best when being used (and abused) near its maximum limits. It thrives on being wrung out. This, oh so conveniently, is exactly the type of driving required for a racetrack. Powering out of turns, the Celica's Yokohama 205/50VR16 tires provide excellent grip. If this car had a limited-slip front differential (like the old Acura Integra Type R had), it would be nearly unstoppable."






so is there a aftermarket LSD? please say yes !!!!!!!

There is good aftermarket support and I ahve seen fixed up celica's win parking lot races which are based on handling and accel. I would recommend the car and I am sure you will be happy with it.

yea, at only 2500 lbs theese cars handle extremeley well and you would prolly give an s2k a good run for its money.

thanks... anything about the lsd is there one

get a 1.5 way

2 way works during acceleration and de-acceleration but hurts your tuning ability a little bit (kinda like welding up your rear end, almost constant to both wheels so you get alot of inside wheel spin)
1.5 way is a full lsd during acceleration but when ur breaking it dosent work as hard as a 2 way and during turns it tries to give more power to the outside wheel while still maintiang power to the inside wheel
1 way only works during acceleration, you might want this beucase during breaking it really dosent work so its like having an open diff but when you accelerat into turns it works like a 1.5 way but a little better, but it makes breaking really unstable during turning

then theres a quaife lsd and clutch lsd, get a quaife its like having gears instead of a grabbing pad, its a little rougher to work with but it wont waear out (as fast) as a clutch one will
