I'm still trying to prod my uncle into letting me take one of his Model T truck frames and his flathead ford and making a t-bucket.

two of them are driven every summer, the third has been in my uncle's garage, but hasn't been started in years. I was just counting the running/intact ones. between my uncle and grandfather, they've probably got 15 frames, 20 motors, and the list goes on and on.quote:

the Mr2's and Celica GT4's w/ the 3SGTE engine were far faster than the MR2's and Corolla GTS's with the 4AGE. 200HP/200TQ vs 112HP/90TQ.quote:

As for Toyotas, they can't be fast except for those older ones with 4AGE engine. Beautifully engineered engines.
