I replaced one side window with lexan, (neighbor kid decided it would be fun to bounce a scythe on the window) , got enough lexan to do the other side as well.running a engnbldr 268 cam, one belt for the water pump and alt. No ac , cruise, interior, power steering, clutch fan, ect...
Determined the previous cam was off a tooth, so "degreed" and the car ran hot, no good. Now it runs 10x better and seems to be slightly less senisitive to aero changes.
Is this the Celica?
