Best "Bang for the Buck" mods

Posted By: Jay B.

Posted On: July 16, 2002 at 11:51 pm EDT

Hi All,

I am new to the forum, and had a question for all of you Celica experts out there.

I have an '85 Celica GT-S that I just rebuilt the engine in.  In fact, we finished it just yesterday.  The car is a daily driver, and my original intent was to just put it back stock, and drive it that way.  This is basically what it is right now.

However, I now find myself wanting to explore some simple hang on mods to get some additional performance out of my new engine.  Which leads me to my question.

What do you feel are the best "Bang for the Buck" mods you can do to a basically stock 22 RE-C engine?

The background on the rebuild is as follows:  bored 30 over, stock style aftermarket pistons, new rings, crank ground and polished with new oversized Clevelite bearings, stock con rods, basic head job (grind valves, new seals, etc.), new stock grind aftermarket cam, new standard timing chain setup (cam gears, timing chain, guides, tensioner), and new oil  and water pumps.

For those that are interested, I will be posting pics of my car soon.

Sorry for the long message.

I look forward to your suggestions with great interest.

Later,

Jay B.
