If I'm not mistaken, the AE86 was a popular chassis to race with as well there. I've taken in -ALOT- of information regarding the platform from Aussie enthusiast boards.



Another cool, and lucky, bit for you guys down there is you got a 3rd gen Celica with a less than stellar 2S motor....all that meant, was that when 3S-GE's became easy to get ahold of, well, super easy swap is super easy.
BTW: "alot" isn't one word... it's "a lot"

What countless better JDM options were available in the mid 2000s? In the U.S.

Actually this debate is also nothing more than digging up the horse a decade later to resume beating it.


There's nothing new to debate.
