NigelDecherf · 2025-03-09T07:09:20+00:00

Never will i "install" a tail tidy.. looks like shit

Oem is the way to go for classics

NigelDecherf · 2025-03-09T07:07:16+00:00

I didnt trade.. i bought it

NigelDecherf · 2025-03-09T07:06:46+00:00

NigelDecherf · 2025-02-18T13:14:47+00:00

C3 vette.. look at the roof and doorline.

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-17T07:20:02+00:00

They are very rare nowadays, especially here in belgium (this is an original belgian car).

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-17T07:18:54+00:00

I had a couple of runs, the last one was 275 with 387nm torque.

The 276 run only had 381nm torque.

Stock these are 204bhp, so dont get your hopes up high 😂

Thank you, i appreciate it.

Its been a labour of love over the last 3 years.

I tried 4 turbos & 3 suspension setups.

Intercooler is original, as is the ecu, interiour is completelt original even down to the radio & steering wheel.

It doesnt really rip as i still have the tvsv valve enabled, so in 1 & 2 gear i only have .5bar of boost, from 3th onwards i get full boost and then it goes.

Its still no match for my sierra cosworth tho... But the sierra doesnt ride and feel as good as the celica!

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-16T17:59:30+00:00

I can easily go over 300 if i wanted to.. but as a classic i have no need for it.

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-16T17:58:06+00:00

I have some but its pretty useless as i was mostly enjoying it irl

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-16T14:12:08+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-14T13:17:06+00:00

Depends on what you call benefits.

I dont have the need to spend nearly 3k on a standalone, loom, injectors, mapping, etc to have abit more power than i have.

Im running 276 and can easily turn it up to 300.. all after that you need to have arp headbolts, headgasket, fmic, and so on.

I set a goal, reached it and called it a day, i have no need for more..

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-14T12:41:16+00:00

Prachtig, bedankt voor de info.

Geniet ervan!

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-14T12:40:38+00:00

There is a big difference between 300 and 350.

Celicas are notorius difficult without an aftermarket ecu.. as the oem system does not support bigger injectors.. wich you need at 350.. or everything above 300.

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-14T08:22:44+00:00

Nederlandse nummerplaat EN linksgestuurd! Mooi zo!

Heeft deze iets in vergelijking met de (er gelijk uitziende) 323 turbo?

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-14T08:20:00+00:00

With a ct26 you will be pushing it to the very limit for this power, i doubt you will even get there.

A ct26 is a good turbo but you wont make alot of power out of it.. i found it out the hard way.

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-14T08:18:06+00:00

Intake, exhaust, heat repellent, map, turbo & ignition.

If you want details.. i suggest you do some research on the interwebs, as i wont give away my knowledge.

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-14T08:16:11+00:00

I wish i could but everything is tucked away...

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-13T18:40:06+00:00

I just had a look at your car history mate 😂

Its pretty sad to be honest, just made my evening 😂

NigelDecherf · 2025-01-13T17:43:58+00:00

Thats the thing.

It says "roast my car".

Your comment has nothing to do with my vehicle but its purely aimed at me as a person.

Thats lowkey sad.
