New from Ontario
« on: Jul 08, 2021, 05:08:21 am »
Hello everyone!
I'm new to the toyota world, coming off an 8th gen si civic coupe that I have tuned on hondata to 228whp with bolt ons.
Tired of hondas eventhough I love them lol
Kid wanted to trade me for a 1984 celica gt-s that needs work.
Car has 450k kms lol   :blink: What should I be looking out for right away?
He stated the clutch was changed in 2018 so im not worried about that.

Anyways I hope I can build a decent car and maybe meet some of you at meets in Ontario.
Looking to make friends and learn about this kool platform.
I'm not new to rwd as I have had an RX7 fc t-II 14 years ago lol
Time flies and I'm probably older then 50% of you lol

Nice to meet you all  :heh:

That should be fine with premium gas. 5' is the base ignition advance.
