Engine was setup and dyno tuned by master tuner steve hildred of steve hildred motors. Very free revving crisp motor done approx 1000 miles since built.
Engine bay has had huge time spent all hoses are braided every thing that can be polished has been all paint colour coded to match car. fully rewired from dash forward all wiring run through guards nothing in engine bay that doesnt need to be there. battery relocated to the boot hidden under custom stereo install.
BRAKES ANS SUSPENSION:
Standard brakes front and rear celica brakes very powerful and efficient.
i still have all the original suspension but car currently runs shortened pedders super low springs and heavy duty shortened shocks front and rear.
