Re: "Better" intake on '90 Celica?
The transmission was rebuilt about three thousand miles ago. As far as
the engine, it has less than 150k miles on it.
I'm not exactly looking for a BIG increase, just a noticable one. It
can be a little scary sometimes to try and hop on the freeway when it
takes what feels like half a minute to reach 70 MPH. ;)
