RA28 -> auto transmission tunnel
|

Is it true that the auto has a slightly larger transmission tunnel???
would this more advantageous for installing the w58 ? or will that require completely new mountings?

there is plenty of room in the transmission tunnel for a w58 in there.. whether or not there is a difference in the size of the tunnels between an auto or a manual

Sure,
I made a thread a few days regaurding various suspension set- up for the ra28, we came to the conclusion of some serious maths needed...
Have you done anything to compenstate handling ??

 - nevermind -
the original comment was actually directed at Cool1..
"What handling thoughts / ideas / setups do you have ?"
But seen as though you (Bugman) said your car was a daily driver, i assumed your suspension set up was standard...
I was merely asking around for ideas to be put on the table, because if I really wanted Sh*te handling, I would have put a 1J instead of a 1G..... and (cool1 hadnt replied to the actual thread about suspension,)
understand now? okie dokie then........

u will find if u read over celicamads recent posts (dont remember what thread it was) that the 1JZ can actually aid the handling of the celica if conversion is done correctly..

thanks rob, i've been hopeing someone would stand up for the 1j... it seems even if you used the 1j in a conversion you would have the liberty of having some excess weight in the back, however to acheive even half the power using the 1G, ud have to strip it down to the shell leaving no room for luxury.... and seen as tho there not much in the way of engine internals apart from cheap new enigines....

This is HIGHLY debatable though.

i agree with norbie, i'd want to see actual figures before i made any inferences
