ok. i know that we're not supposed to have the pleasure of Mr.high-lob taking place in XXXXrpm or whatever they call it the mighty i-vtec like our sticker says. but don't you guys enjoy this pull after 5k rpm?????
well, I DO!!!
are we so sure that we don't got that secret weapon in our engine!!?!!!:mad:
i'm sure it's nothing like compare to Celica GT-S's harsh curve way beyond 6K, but i still love this pull at high rpm, especially right from 5k rpm.
tell me you guys agree!! :D

i previously owned 2000 Celica GT and believe me, i was in love with that car for that precise handling and feels of ride. it was all about handling, and feel of it. my god i miss that pretty ;) then i moved on to my ep last june, had biggest complain about how it handles and twisties at Azusa Mt wasn't my best friend anymore.

BUT, one thing for sure. i love this pull over 5k. im in love with it.
when it pulls and pulls all the way and all the way up to red, gosh it's hard to let go of my right foot, my pedal sticks there and i see all these cars passing behind, all the windows down and feeling the cool wind blazing on the freeway. im totally enjoying it.

Well let me tell you, with the extra money I had to dish out to fix my problems with springs. I wish that I would have waited to buy those. Springs are great for the price, yet these Mugens have the tire rod relocated so it matches perfectly.

You could see if a member from your area would be willing to lend a hand. It really is much easier to do than just springs and install of a camber kit. Hell you don't even need air tools. Just some strength. And instrutions can be found here and k-series.
