the car came with it
i have drive in cars without
the car was full of torque especially under load i was gonna boost it but back then there wasnt much parts for it
it bolts on directly to the non vvt head its like the bp the cam and the solenoid makes the difference

Been a while since ive been back here but heres the latest update..

Got some new parts in some D1 extend lugs and AAC bumper sag brackets
im getting some ES calipers, KVR drilled rotors, and CF pads along with the Celica GT MAF.

Well got my hands on a sand blaster and a powder Coater so i sand blasted and powder coated some parts. We had some snags and some trial and error, but we figured it out. In the end im happy with the final results, heres some before and after pics. Next time im gonna sand blast alot of other parts like my alternator, starter, strut bar brackets, and all my suspension braces, calipers along with my rims.





And the Valve Cover...im contemplating on clearing it to help protect it alittle more.

Got a little blasting done today sand blasted my strut bar brackets, intake manifold, and my starter. I have to go over them again i missed a few spots but they look alot better than before IMO. Hopefully i can get my alternator and rims done this weekend well see how it goes.
