tuner ? ok so I had a 89 Mustang GT 5.0 hatchback really good car top speed 140-150 but my brother was going through a hard time so to be a good guy I traded it to his 91 Celica GT, I really miss the Mustang but I also love this Celica, it's a 91 Celica GT with a 2200 4 cyl and a 5 speed manual transmission, (it registers 120 mph) and( X1000 rpm registers up to 8 but it's in the red at 6.5 or 7, going 55-60 it's on the 3 going 80-95 it's on the 4). so anyways I want a good fast car again so instead of buying a new car I thought I would jest tune this one up but I've never owned a Celica before so I don't know if it's a good tuner or not. so dose the 1991 Toyota Celica GT with a 2200 4cyl and a 5 speed transmission make a good fast tuner car and if so what could I expect the Horsepower and top speed too be? and how would I do this?

you've asked 3 times now, with no response, so i'll humour you.. NO. go soarer or supra, or even old or new celica, nothing inbetween with them, but all toyotas are good starting points (and btw, it's turn, not tern.)

The car is much lighter than the Mustang and the 2.2 L winds out respectable power. You might throw a turbo on it , but the engine is complicated with its overhead cam set up. It will be much more different and exacting than the Ford engine that you can work on with woodshop tools. Drive it a bit before you start digging into it. Toyota engines are not fun to work on.
