The model itself looks good, by the way.
yeh, everyone has said, either buy a GT-four celica, and save myself the trouble, and get 4wd as a bonus, or they have said dump the 3S-GTE in it, by the way, the model is a GTR(2.0L) but my actual car, is the 2.2 5S-FE, we never got any of the other models here, except the GT-four(in australia) and we dont call them GTR, GTS etc: we just call em "SX", i rebadged mine GTS cos it sounds a bit nicer than SX
but yes, the reason i thought of the V6, was i have never seen it done,im surprised, since looking into both engine bays, it look relativly straight forward. the V6 box, and the 5sfe box seem to bolt up to the V6 no problem, the TT setup, thats a bit of a maybe, since i imagine the alloy V6 with a good set of extractors and a mild cam, would make reasonable power, with a nice exhaust note.i have also heard the 5SFE can make a bit of power aswell, but wheres the fun in that? but anyways, thanks for your comments guys
