i'd be interested in any answers you get here too... just so i can learn more :)

i know nothing about front wheel drives, having come from a background of custom cars, classics & hot rods - but I was given a toyota celica... a 'white lightning' - first of the celica fwd's. it has a 3SGE & 5 speed. the model before the turbo too i believe?

can't help with brissy contacts for you, i'm in northern nsw :( but i'm sure it won't take you long to source the right people.

i haven't even had a drive of my little silly car yet, no fuel in the tank :( will be getting it up to scratch for rego soon, has a few broken bits (lense covers, arm rests, and it leaks - power steer and exhaust), but nothing too bad.

my daily drive died recently... and i hate sharing a car, even though it is a tuff truck with a v8, but she's a bitch to park, with no power steering and big tyres.

i've been told the 3sge is great and the car handles really well, so i'm busting to get her on the road :D

yeah im pretty convinced now to get the gearbox but i want the turbo one with the lds in it so i can lessen my torque steer for drag racing :) an the power streerin (if u get a magna oil cooler u can convert it to ur power streering cooler it makes the steering so much lighter hehe)

should be fun drag racing a fwd, the torque steer could be an issue.

will think about the magna oil cooler conversion, but as she'll be a daily driver, may not be an issue. but i'll keep that one in mind :)
