With respect, surely you must have had the engine's reputation in mind when you built the thing???

i don't think you know how long this car has been under development. when Jamie ditched the baby hemi for the 1U, they they had not gained the reputation they have today... they were still relatively unknown. what i am saying is, he did not really follow anyone, or any reputation... he just bought a couple of these motors and had a go. Jamie is the kind of car enthusiast who creates reputations, rather than following them. think about it... while everyone is dreaming off blown/TT 1U's, this guy has 'been there' and 'done that'... and now he is trying something else.

Good point. It does seem that it's been around a while... Smile

(It was certainly the first turbo'd 1UZ I'd heard of in Oz...)

on another subject, i am in ACT and i would love to see your 1U setup sometime, biased. sounds very unassuming!

Thanks. We've tried to keep it "understated", while improving the go/handling departments. Keep an eye out for the Canberra Celica Group (CCG) outings in the new year (often posted in the ACT section), as I'll be attending a few of them. (Went out to the photo shoot they had on Sunday - some nice Toyotas in that lot! Shocked

)
