Guyver 1st Gear June 16, 2002 Share June 16, 2002 Hi! there, Guyver, It's the most powderful when it's the Sledgehammer. Callaway Engineering built a one-off, that hit 254.76mph/410kmh at a conservative 898hp at the flywheel in 1989.

Mel4fun Neutral Newbie June 17, 2002 Share June 17, 2002 Bingo..... this is the one I was mentioning to Diver..... fun car to drive.. The later one has a LSD and slightly retuned spring rates and is very fun to drive..... but can "float" on stock shocks In Canada, they call it the Corolla GTS Hatchback....... one of the Twin Cam Jap hot rods in the affordable segment ... Where did you find this info, TB? Anymore for read up ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel4fun Neutral Newbie June 17, 2002 Share June 17, 2002 Great site, TB !! I think I still see one or two on SG road.... too bad they did not restore to the original look........ too beng on some of the mods (like big rear spoiler etc... ) A classic hot-hatch..... years before the Civic-era.....

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie June 17, 2002 Author Share June 17, 2002 SG only has the Levin, too bad the real treunos didn't make it to SG shores. Many here have lost their old school magic and charm. U watched Initial D? Damn cool animation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel4fun Neutral Newbie June 20, 2002 Share June 20, 2002 Is this the Lancia Stratos ? It was an icon car in the rally world ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie June 20, 2002 Author Share June 20, 2002 Stratos yeah! Turbo Mid-engine rear drive that killed plenty of spectators until it was banned from WRC! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Neutral Newbie June 21, 2002 Share June 21, 2002 Yup, Stratos, it is. In full classic Alitalia look with them nasty gold rims long before anyone ever heard of a WRX that they're so infamous for. Pity Lancia never came anywhere close to making another like it. Especially for the road. I mean, c'mon, no one ever looked at a Dedra and went 'WOW.....' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged June 23, 2002 Share June 23, 2002 (edited) Hi Guys, I enjoying reading these 'lau-heero' cars of bygone years! The Stratos is one of my favourites. Keep a few scale models of it, can't afford the real one. It had Dino engine right? BTW, i have a classic celica (1st generation): 73 coupe with a twin-carb, really old school! Recently did a moderate re-build body-wise, now looking for a little bit more punch for the old dog :-)........... bought a extractor from a scrapped Carina coupe, planning to fix it plus upgrade the stock resonant box and tail box to performance type, what do you guys think: go for full straight thru' as far as possible while keeping noise level not too much above legal level? will this achieve any detectable increase in mid and low end power? this is for the fun of cruising, not really serious performance play, i know the old dog has its limit and also do not think i should spend too much for this purpose. it's quite fun cruising in this almost 30 years old "mother of beng cars" and just relax................. Sorry to ask so much here, i am 'green' in these things. Is there a proper forum for me to discuss this? Thanks in advance.

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie June 23, 2002 Author Share June 23, 2002 Hi Ys, U hardcore oldies fan eh? Well you could bring your discussion to the Jap forum since it's a Toyota restoration U're doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky_doodle 4th Gear July 15, 2002 Share July 15, 2002 Yeah.....saw it in Initial D....is the car really that great as portrayed in the anime? So u mean to say that those in SG are not Truenos but Levins,even though they have the Trueno emblem on?I saw two of such cars parked next to each other at Marina South,where the former KFC used to be......looked real good in real life...almost as good as Takumi made it out to be...

Hitman Neutral Newbie July 15, 2002 Share July 15, 2002 Hey Yo Buddy .... I used to drive a Celica T40 (2nd generation) long time ago. Same specs as yours twin carb. Still have pics of it and still dreaming of those years when I use to be the King of the Streets. Mod until siow .... Frankly, I think with this Celica just to this is enough :- 1) Overhaul engine - change pistons 2) K&N filter - might need to modify to fit both carbs. 3) Extractor - change to 4-to-2 with a full-flow cat. 4) Distributor 4) Spark Injector (damn I can't remember what its called) - Its the black tube to all your sparkplug lines - I remember the red ones are the garang ones. That will give you some extra 20 hp. btw : how much you paying for Road Tax - I think it kills ..... S$1048 for six months. Still love the sight of that car everytime I see it - though not often now .... Australia has some awesome modified ones that will make you drooollllll .......
