Smaay's 3mz seems to be doing well on 1mz nonvvti electronics. You could probably go the same route and avoid the massive 2gr celica project.

If I go 3mz I want vvti to work
I'm not scared of doing a 2gr just no funding as of now
Once my 1mz is 100% right I'll start gathering parts an deside witch motor I want to go with
The 1mz will then be transplanted into the coupe once I have it all gathered up for another swap

Well the 1mz made it to the track an home last might

Made 2 passes first was a 15.5 the second was a 15.3
Both with a 1.1/1.2 reaction time. I was still running the stock 15s so I spun through 2nd. I think with a better set of tires I can break 14s

SHUNNED!!!!!!!

Theoretically you should be in the mid-high 14's. Perhaps a good set of sport tires will help, that and messing with the suspension.

Suspension has a LOT to do with traction and being able to put power down. I'm sure you can do 14's.

I think if I wasn't spinning through most of the 60ft mark I could drop a second off
The 5.0 mustang I raced ran a 14.2 an was only 2mph faster at the end but he gain his whole lead by the 60ft mark
I was gaining ground at the end

that is all tires man! get yourself a set of BF drag radials and you will drop over 1 second. reaction time only matters in head to head races, what were your 60 foot times?

Drag radials is kind of cheating though, we want street numbers.

Picked up a set of rust free doors over the weekend
They were basically dent free too till I went to put them on
Dropped one on the jack do now I have a dent in the once clean pass side door
But they came from a base model st so I now have much lighter doors. Non power windows an locks FTW!! Lol

I'll try to update with some pics of what I've done to it here lately soon
Been slacking a lot on this thread.

Can't be that much lighter. The power lock is just a solenoid that weighs a few grams, and then the window motor is a pound or two. If anything these weigh more since they're not rusted out. I hate when you have something near perfect, and somehow screw it up. I think at this point you should definitely go harlequin.

Its a weight difference you can feel I know that much
You lose alot of wiring too the door panels are alil lighter due to no switches.

True. Still, I rather have the extra 10-20 or so pounds to save trouble. Reaching over to roll a window up or down, or to open and lock the door sucks.

I don't roll my pass side window down unless someone is in the car with me. An the power locks didn't work right in the old doors
Once I get the dash wiring ill have power mirrors again
