Thanks for the heads up. did you find out if they fixed that cooling problem? was it really fast(being lighter than a supra and all)? thanks.

Re:2JZ-GTE in an 87 celica ST!!

Can someone tell me how this can work?
the 2J is a RWD inline 6 cylinder and the 87 celica
is FWD 4 cyl.
I've seen a FWD engine work in a RWD car.
I really don't think you can do this without
a total tube chassis
and relocating the engine
